Also, I have to say that the new Doritos ad targeting Canadians is WILDLY out of touch. Show me that you do not understand Canada in one advertisement. It is HELLA cringe.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

It is interesting to me that, despite having been involved in how my provincial government delivers the MAID program (health lens), there are still little details that I did not fully understand. The differences between the policy world and the clinical world are simultaneously slight and vast.

We are honey-mooners. Apologies to the bee keepers in the area - while we are not, intentionally, apiarist-mooners, they are sometimes the unintended target of our mooning.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

When Palm Springs came out in 2020, my brother asked what I would do in a time loop and, without much thinking, I said "figure out a way to punch Elon Musk in the face and get away with it," and that statement has improved every day since.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

My gma recently had a stroke and while she is at risk of dying, she is doing ok and the risk is being managed. My mom is out of town. But that has me thinking: If you became brain dead, would you prefer to be kept alive so your relatives could say goodbye, or would you rather be an organ donor?

Really excited to see how the firing of civil servants in USA really kicks off brain drain in USA and how that cycle picks up speed as it continues with not hiring experts in the field because they are experts (and how difficult it will be to build back). It's horrible, but also entertaining.
