Having lived in uninteresting times, you never know how good boring is.

*200 years from now* "Dawg, why do we have to do these DEI trainings about accepting transgenetics." "I learned in school one time they didn't do them for four years, and it went REALLY bad."

Conference. Day 1. "Headwinds" is the word of the year. It has been said 15 times over 6 presentations.

I think my favourite Canadian archetype is "individual aggrieved by plow ridge left on driveway". Are there more self absorbed and socially unaware types? Yes. I simply aspire to achieve their levels of selfish rage.

Fondly reminiscing about all the time I wasted living in uninteresting times. At the time, I didn't even know.

My father has reverted to a previous setting. Kinsella is now, again, an evil liberal. There's something in the air. The shift might be real.

I'm not the problem, my team is the problem. It really does take a village.

I had hoped these 20s might bring back flappers and jazz, not pandemics and the retreat of democracy.

In this house we say, "Yes Chef!" or "Fuck you Chef". Both are appropriate.

I find it ironic that those encouraging people to sign the “Pledge for Canada” are *exactly* the same ones who argued that defence spending is “militarism” & that Canada’s place in the world is as a “soft power”, semi-neutral, post-national state. It’s a nice effort, but remember why we’re here.

I'll be thinking about the whole "tariffs are off" to "tariffs are on" shift until Monday. The interval, timing, and sources are all sus.

The pageantry we must endure before these clowns are ultimately appointed is the greatest insult. Nothing said yesterday, today, or tomorrow will change the outcome. They are doing jazz hands while they tap dance over the corpse of a republic.

Seems like a really good day for Canadian media to stop letting Pierre Poilievre off the hook for not getting (or not being able to get) the same normal security clearance that everyone else in similar positions has always gotten. In today’s unprecedented dangerous context, that’s a huge red flag.

So… PM Beady Eyes is going to do nothing about equalization? That thing prairie premiers have been saying for years is the Most Unfair Thing Ever? How many seconds will it be after PM Beady Eyes is elected between when equalization is Moe's #1 talking point to when it's taboo talking point.

I love working in the research industry. In the cubes behind me a massive discussion has erupted. The topic? A flawed experiment. Not even in our field of research. Just a poorly designed and half executed idea. Suffice to say, trust the science because we don't trust each other.

My father informs me that the CBC is all propaganda because they blocked him on twitter. I suspect they blocked him for the same reasons I did.

Marlaina said no in order to provide herself the opportunity to say yes. That way she can be the headline.

It isn't about finding 'replacements' for Gaiman and other creatives that get exposed for their monstrous bullshit. It's about pulling away from idolatry. If work resonates with you, that's fine. It does not connect you to the creative in a way that demands blind fealty.
