Oh dang, the schedule for Toronto After Dark (2026) dropped earlier. There's some neat stuff in there. I think I might be looking forward to The Fox most at first glance.

Been going to Canada's Wonderland with a seasons pass the past couple of months. Only real down point has been the soggy fries. Every bit of food I've had has been alright enough except them. Even the bits you'd expect to be crispy are a chewy limp.

The next one needs at least a deadite kill that's fun. Picture someone in a corner and the survivor does something potentially funny as an "If I'm gonna die" moment. The posesed corpse sees the potential and follows through with it. Because it would make their overlords overlord chuckle.

I would ask the pro athletes what they think of any trans athletes. Odds are most wouldn't give a crap why this hubbub is being raised. Even questioning the philosophy behind the bans. If it wasn't for the idea of being blacklisted from their leagues, I suspect most would be cool over them playing

I believe there is no greater generational constant in USA than the high profile snake oil salesman. I bet historians can document trajectory changes in USA purely based on phenomena & gold rushes engineered by snake oil salesmen. ‘I invented a genie’ guy may be their crowning achievement though.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

It's a delivery day on my end, but both drivers decided to not deliver. So staying home for them was an absolute bust. As cheap as they can be, it's very hit or miss on non-Canada Post delivery services. This is why the posties here were on strike against casual delivery drivers.

Oh, I went to see that new Evil Dead Burns. It's so damn unrelenting in its atmosphere of dread from start to finish. From the cold open exploring the McGuffin of the iteration, to the small tease we see at the end. There is a mid and post-credits scene to this one as an FYI

I'm sorta bummed that Toronto's upcoming municipal election is being earmarked as a two candidates race this early. Our incumbent mayor and what I can best describe as a weiner. The guy flip flops so hard it's painful watching him act like he wasn't responsible. We need to want more in a mayor.

I'm at least 90% sure they're doing this shit up here too. If they're doing it with all gig-workers, then that's a problem. Ask a friend who works grocery how frequently they see different batches of DoorDashers rotate out.

Oh yeah, went to see Supergirl twice somehow. Not amazing, but still fun enough I enjoyed how after a slightly questionable cameo. They follow up with an exploration over WHY she was like that, while setting her up to play differently from Clark. Also Mamoa gets to have fun doing Lobo. Twas great.

So I've been slowly reading through the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. I'm currently working my way through book seven/floor nine. While not the most high-brow, it's damn fun. Just when you think you've got a nice, quiet moment of introspection, the damn cat gets up to something. #goddamnitdonut

The thing about AI that is simple enough to understand is that it's peak Silicon Valley. Make a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The special add-on for this one is the extra problems that it leaves people with. Like the idea that their bot is an actual person, or ravaging the job market.

Anime North is over yet again for the year 😔 Had a decent amount of fun with some quite insightful panels. Both as an attendee and panelist. Bit of a bummer about some missed contacts, events and merch. That's to be expected sadly. Didn't get to wear my ita bag. So I thought I'd share anyways.

What I'm finding a little scary is the lack of media coverage of the proposed AI data centers planned in Ontario. If any of the horror stories I've heard from rural places in the States are half true. It should be something we're all aware of. Watch politicians act like we're NIMBYs over it...

Been re-reading Monstrous Regiment (by Terry Pratchett) lately. It is still a hoot! While not as sobering a reminder of ongoing events like Night Watch was a good few months back. It still sorta fit's lingering moods about the world today. The willingness to say that nothing's going wrong, maybe?

Damn near everything they want us to use AI for was able to be done by a simpler, less resource demanding program. Everything new they introduced could also likely be done with the same scale of program. Say NO to the downgrade in experience AI brings.

I really want folks to know that even if you can't go to a convention or a social gathering you can still call yourself a furry. It's a stupidly large catch all term. Like you can even say "The Fandom" and a lot of folks will get the connection. All you need is something to love.

It really has such a quick few days. With the Dead Dog Dances going on it seems to be this year's Furnal Equinox coming to a close. Next year's theme is gonna be Critter Clash. Gonna be very exciting to see how they pull off the theme of three fighting factions.
