Ugh… and this is why we hold our nose when we vote 🤮 #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is the first I’m hearing of people seriously just installing whatever packages the AI/internet tells them too. We all had to warn our parents about doing that shit in the 90’s and 00’s and now we’re doing it? FFS 🤦

Did I fact check this? No. Does it sound right? Yes. Do I want an A&W slider right now? Absolutely. youtube.com/shorts/BSa_-...

I love a lazy Saturday. Sleep in (which with the dog means 9:30 from 7am regular, as opposed to 12:30 from 9am regular), read some articles, play with the dog, have some coffee… Can life just be this? 😮‍💨

The best part of this is discovering the term “crowd scientist” 🤣

I think a lot of these discussions are rightfully going to force us to consider the distinctions and relative value of “art” as separate from “content”. And of course what media falls into which bucket is going to be wildly subjective and divisive. Worth it though.

This feels like a monkey paw moment… all I wanted was him to settle down in the basement. And then he took all the blankets. Pawed them off my body to build his bed. But, you know, he’s being chill.

Okay but wait, what’s the Mario Kart World version of Pikmin? What if I team up with my friends in GameChat and explore a post-apocalyptic open world???

Yes son the dog is in heaven & hes a pokemon now. The dog became a pokemon as thats what he desired most within his magic heart when he died

I’m not a morning person, but guess who is…

this hyundai ev concept is the aesthetic i want in my electric car, i want to feel like a cyberpunk private detective with a drinking problem and an ex wife thats rooting for me

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

This is very impressive. When I see things of this magnitude occurring seemingly overnight, it really does make me question how I can be better engaged in community. How do I get plugged in? #cdnpoli

I gotta say, I do not miss these unexpected 1am “walks”

That last post had me wondering what the 2002 financial crisis was. Turns out, Canada technically didn’t take a dip after the 9/11 attacks. TIL!

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Looking forward to some distracting news today, for once! #nintendoSwitch2

Oof

On International Transgender Day of Visibility, I see and acknowledge my trans friends and family, and their struggles. The overt and subtle obstacles put in their path (often by those meant to support them), and the amazing resilience they show overcoming them to enjoy what we all take for granted.

No idea why it didn’t occur to me before, but having a creature that wakes up at the crack of dawn wanting attention sucks extra hard when you consistently get stuck in internet patrol routes until early hours of the morning. Where is the snooze button in this dog? 😫

What an appropriate video to find while sleeplessly scrolling at 2 am: youtube.com/shorts/G7uDt...

To be fair, our leader is also currently unelected 😅 Opportunity coming up real quick to make it a 5 out of 5 though!

These are absolutely gorgeous

This is really neat! Draw what you think the trend is and see the reality with explanations soon after: newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

i wasn’t gonna post about the 23andme thing because i didn’t want to get into the details and argue with people who know little about how 23andme’s DNA tests work. thankfully, @rahaeli.bsky.social has made an excellent thread on it, so i don’t have to. please go read it!

23andMe is going under. Californians have the right to delete their genetic data before it's turned over to next party buying the assets. If you have a 23andMe account, go log in to download whatever reports you want to save, then follow these instructions to delete your data.

Oh boy, this dog is showing me exactly how out of shape I am. I wasn’t expecting a workout when I prepped to train his recall. Using the whole point that I shouldn’t have to move?? 😪

Stuff like this is why I regularly put money into a “no questions asked” tech toy fund. Like, at this point I’d legitimately miss the Fitbit health scores. And I’m unlikely to switch back to Android any time soon (tiny phone where??). But I mean, look it this! It’s so cool! store.repebble.com

Oof. This is good. Gonna have to re-read this and give it a good think. annievella.com/posts/the-so...

Would it be really nice or really mean if we got a bird feeder so Argenti could see more birds? I legit can’t decide 🤣

My inability to follow the steps of the coffee ritual emphasizes my need of said coffee ritual.

Hmm. “According to Boudreau, when Noem visited she stood on the American side and said "U.S.A. No. 1" and then, after crossing onto the Canadian side, said "the 51st state." Boudreau said Noem did this multiple times.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Find joy in the simple things

Mini-date night! It’s only been a handful of times since we got Argenti that we’ve put him in the crate and both left the house. He’s perfectly fine in the crate with us nearby, but we’re at a loss as to how we can better train him for when we need to leave. #rescueDog #dogTraining

I've always wanted a car with a roof that flies off for no reason, but doors that don't come off while you're burning alive inside it. My dreams have come true.
