Old enough to remember when the festive special came with a Toblerone.

I’m done here, for the time being I’ll not actually delete the account because I use the same handle many other places but I won’t be posting or reading.

@laurendorphin The degree to which most of their emails seriously look like phishing attempts also not helping

@blm849 We went to the simulcast screening, the movie looks and especially sounds fantastic in an IMAX theater. The original movie was released fast from filming in December to release the following April so I don’t think it would have been a festival thing, maybe that was True Stories?

@samanthadjb You could create a spell check rule that spits that out when you type a certain combination of expletives

As achievements go it’s pretty minor but I finally solved a 7x7 kenken in the Sunday Times

@samanthadjb Shogayaki?

@mattxiv Well if that’s what it says on the package

Someone please tell me that the Musk Melon interview on Metro Morning was a prank, or at least a knowing homage to the classic Bob and Ray “Komodo Dragon” sketch.

When they say “wait for fall” for the next booster is there any chance at all that “fall” could be by mid-September?

Anyone seen squash/zucchini flowers at the markets? The guy we were buying from last year seems to have dropped out of our regular market.

Some idiot kid played Nicky-Nicky-nine-doors at 11 tonight, not the swiftest move on the anniversary of a mass shooting down the street…

@tyronemund Apricots and peaches too, weird

What’s up with this years stone fruits? Every single one I’ve had the pit splits apart.

@tyronemund Phoebe was a rescued feral cat, she never lost her fight or flight reflex and anything unexpected would set her off, once she was napping in my lap and the printer beside my desk made a noise, jumped up, bit my face and took off.

@tyronemund We had a super-biter for 21 years, so bad the vet told us as long as she was indoor only there was no point in bringing her in for regular exams cause they couldn’t get within a mile of her. Trying to get her into a carrier the last time we moved she bit through my thumbnail.

@tyronemund Humans bitten

The ciabatta thing on Jeopardy is true but my experience is Italians will nevertheless lose their shit over it

As a self-education project during lockdown I wanted to see if I could mimic a brand’s advertising style

Anyway, I made this, happy birthday Grimace or whatever

@pulmyears The last two times I saw him were completely different wonderful shows, him alone on stage with a guitar for two hours and with this band at The Horseshoe

@EmanStudioNY There is no such thing as The Canadian Anti-money Laundering Center. FINTRAC is the Canadian organization for taking money laundering reports but they don’t have arrest powers, if they detect a crime the RCMP or local police would be the arresting agency.
