I just had the weirdest scam call pretending to be Rogers Communications (@Rogers). After he identified himself, I said:
This is the third time this week I've gotten a call from you guys, can you put me on a list of do not call as I do not want these phone calls anymore...
ANYHOO I'm now registered on the National Do Not Call List. It took less than 30 seconds, and according to Rogers Communications, once your name is on that list (it takes 30 days to update), they will never call you so you know automatically anyone calling you is a spoof call
Okay so i've followed who i can from twitter on bluesky, got it working on my phone, and requested an archive of my twitter, so will hopefully be deleting this app after tomorrow
@RhysMT When ER finally dropped on Prime, I binged watched almost all the seasons but dropped offf with a season and a half to go: the show just got WAY too stressful
Grey’s Anatomy came out while I was in Uni so I never watched it…. Now on season three on Netflix and: OH MY GOD, ALL THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL!!!! like seriously, lol
One case involves a man who had MAiD suggested to him by a psychiatrist during a mental health assessment and then was later picked and driven to his MAiD appointment by the MAiD provider who euthanized him.
Remember these are the ones we know about.

Did I ever dress outrageously or unusual?
And I was like: NO, I DRESS FABULOUSLY!!!
This question came right before did I ever have a sense of grandeur and I was like: but I AM awesome, see previous answers, bitch!
When I was being assessed for bipolar disorder in the aughts, one of the questions was: did I ever engage in risky sexual behaviour?
And I was like you mean riding a rando cock while juggling chainsaws? Um noo!!!
Another was:
I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.
🧵 I'm in Ricochet this week highlighting students across Ontario universities who are begging for masks to return to the classroom. Why are our leaders letting a virus *that harms our ability to think* to run rampant on our campuses?

This morning I joined the Trojan Horse tour @OntarioHealthC and @CUPEOntario at ##HamOnt General Hospital to fight back against private healthcare!
The sector isn't addressing surgery backlogs or ending hallway medicine. Receiving healthcare shouldn't cause you to go into debt.
If you are middle-aged and want to improve your poop game, I highly recommend eating kiwi (with the skin) in chia seeds soaked in plain Greek yoghurt:
Tastes awful but the 💩💩💩 afterwards are excellent!
