New Substack post! I've been trying to get this one done for ages, so I just decided to forgo polish and just get 'er done. Enjoy!

Last night, we had zero snow. This is what woke up to this morning!

On top of all the terrible things happening in the world, my wife has put on curling. 😵

My impression from watching some of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest presented by Planet Fitness”: everyone looks *miserable*.

Happy New Years Eve, everyone! 2025 rating: 0 stars. Would not recommend. My goal: to spend more time on this platform, and less time in The Bad Place.

*starts to show signs of life on this platform* I think it’s time to leave Xitter. Or, at least, to wind down activity there. It’s dead for anything other than RW slop.

Anyone out there have any idea why my Nest thermostat has decided to refuse to show the weather on Farsight? I’ve done everything I could think of (and is on the Nest/Google support page).

Is the dooming just as bad over here as it is on Shitter?

Anyone read “The Wheel of Time” series? I’ve been trying to read the first book, but it keeps triggering my narcolepsy. Does it pick up at any point? So far the experience has just been a torrent of place & character names.

Pleased to report that I’ve signed a contract with an academic press to produce a digital ethics textbook! Yes, it will talk about Nafo. Yes, I’ll need Fellas as examples. Yes, that’s the one-of-a-kind fundraising opportunity I’ve been hinting at. Details tbd. New term etc.

*taps mic* He…hello? Everything okay over here? People still using this app?

Book Proposal: Submitted! Depending on how things go, I may have one *hell* of a fundraiser in the next couple of months! 👀

I'll have to catch up on posting these to here, but here's the new one, anyway!

I’ve been speaking with MAGAts on The Bad Place for most of the evening, and…y’all, they are not bright.

Is it just me, or does my schnitzel look vaguely Ukraine-shaped?

As much as I enjoy this app and think it has a superior user experience to Shitter, this episode with tariffs has shown that Bluesky has not arrived yet, regardless of the number of registered users. The level of discourse and the timeliness of news isn’t on par. Much fewer bots, though.

Snarkus Aurelius, PhD 🇨🇦🇫🇷🇺🇦 @snarkusaurelius.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

From scrolling here and Shitter for the last couple of hours, I must say that MAGAts are breathtakingly stupid. If even half of them are real and not just russian bots…wowza, the world has a problem.

Doesn’t Columbia also produce chocolate? Raising the price of coffee and chocolate for Americans. Masterful gambit, sir.

So they’re all going to be together at a known time and place? 🤔

Fellas! Here’s an easy way to help the🇺🇦 diaspora. There’s a 🇺🇦 church in Chilliwack, BC, that has seen better days, yet serves as a cultural centre for 🇺🇦 refugees. But the board wants to sell the building. The petition is for them to reverse this and give the church a chance.

This week, I did something I haven’t done in almost two decades: I read a novel. This is not my first attempt. But a common theme amongst the PhDs I know is that somewhere along the way, you become incapable of reading fiction. There’s a few reasons I’ve heard floating about.

Sometimes Canadian identity expresses itself in some very odd ways.

My daughter just made me watch an episode of iCarly for the first time and honestly I’m kind of hoping for WW3 or a bird flu pandemic or really anything at this point.

Happy New Year, everyone! To 2024 and shithole russia: 🖕🏻. Stay in 2024, assholes. To 2025: the bar is low. Please, please clear it. To Ukraine: I wish you victory!
