In Nov 2024, BlueSky became my primary platform. Still have my @ziadfazel on Xitter because of my history of threads there.
Thanks for following me (back) here again.
Photo summer 2024 at Stamps game with my friend @booshmeister. Life is good.

We have an issue with "MAXIMUM LENGTH SHORTENS TO 7 YEARS (6 YEARS FOR FREE AGENTS)".
Although Boosh is no longer a free agent, even the 7-year limit is a problem for my client just entering his prime earning years. We were looking for 9 years, heavily bonus laden in the middle 5 years.

I actually took Collective Bargaining as one of my electives for my Admin diploma from UofR, which itself was an elective on top of my BASc in Industrial Systems Engineering.
Boosh and I set the benchmark with $$$ Leafs, then Habs, forcing NHL to cover in next CBA.

In first video I shared, she is flying through a lot of jokes, for experienced fans.
In this video she takes her time to enunciate more clearly, and set up each joke carefully.
YouTube presented it to me after I saw the first one. See both in whichever sequence you want.

Until you get used to her pronunciation: subtitles. I'm now:
• 98% on first try
• 1% need the subtitles
• 1% they miss her brilliant wordplay.
Experience her live if you can - room goes pin drop silent to hear EVERY word. 😍🧠

Thank you for the compliment, Johnny. I'm divided between Twitter and BlueSky right now, so I don't get to tag you as often when I have fun with my CFL friends.
You'll note we didn't crop out the stranger to our left in GREEN shirt and STAMPS hat, but we did beat the crap out of him later.

Two of sweetest, most nourishing Canadian peas in a pod, we are. Hopefully flourishing soon at a stadium near you.
I want to see @cfl.ca 🇨🇦 football game in every stadium before I punt my dented aluminium bucket into the cable cam.
To do that with my shutdown goalie client Boosh would be a joy.

Reported as plagiarism that steals your content and uses it to build its own followers from your recognizable style, thinking simply tagging you is enough.

Yes, if "for training or quality purposes" = breaking the agreement you negotiated with them over the phone, thinking the recording would protect both parties, only to learn they would not disclose the recording on request, or to the relevant Access to Information laws in that province/country.

False table in article:
This article is used to justify the restriction of COVID vaccine availability and loss of the general public's freedom to seasonally vaccinate. Straight up disinformation. @nejm.org , government authority /= science. Stop being a willing party to anti-science interests.

Not required, sir,
I sneak this information out to you, from behind Elmo's back as he focusses on destroying the US government.

"...then Les Glorieux for a fluently bilingual Canadian with tremendous name recognition and sponsor income, then the rest of the league had to fall in line given the number of goalie coaches around the NHL who vouch for him in glowing terms."
Halte là! Mon ami Boucher est arrivé!

The second:
"screenshot of my reply to Stadnek, which while confirming his contract year and duration, did disclose the template collective bargain I did first with the wealthy but playoff-stung Leafs..."

The first is:
screenshot of tweets where I reply to Stadnek that the Leafs needed Boosh in net to prevent losing 5-1, and instead winning 1-0.

I suspect @gosiagasperophd.bsky.social has some base2 exponential graphs under development, and may be similarly affected by unclear positive test dates, or first detected symptoms/contact tracing that led to the test.

Exponentially enough, I'd say. The data Alberta provides doesn't come with clean dates attached. And they update the numbers on weekdays only.
They do provide some weekly tracking that looks like this (their chart) but there's a bit of a lag. Week of May 4 is most recent:

Thanks Robson. While Dr Filiatrault is not AFAIK here on BlueSky, she still toils away on Xitter, and writes opinion pieces with her biologist collaborator.
They even squeezed in a few paragraphs on Alberta's dysfunction.

Pancholi: how will members receive a copy of the interim report if the legislature is not sitting.
Amery: they can see the public report in June
Pancholi: justice min said interim report would be available to us as well
Amery: all members and Albertans can access report in June.

AI is not everything, exhibit 45,876,223.
It's not some Wonder Valley of green energy investment for Alberta, touted by promoters like Kevin O'Leary, who may quid pro quo with our Premier for a Mar-a-Lago photo opp either.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:
- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

I thought of you yesterday, while doing this long thread on Xitter, about another possible reason measles is exploding in the developed world— besides dangerously low immunization.
Maybe: Immune system dysregulation from (multiple bouts of) COVID. In kids, too.
