Gotta say, not very confident in Build Canada’s ability to get things done if they can’t even buy one simple mayoral election.

Oh boy, existential terror, can’t wait to see if Toronto decides to be Vancouver or British Columbia.

I guess my advice to British people who refuse to heed the United Kingdom’s disaster planning advice would be to take the disaster planning advice offered by the province of Manitoba, which is *completely different*.

I think it’s really funny that some top-tier Blooski posters get like and repost numbers that would have a middle-tier Tumblr user terrified they’re in the black void of total obscurity.

It's the aye of the tiger, it's the nay of the tiger The tiger's a Member of Parliament A full transcription of every speech it has made Has been published online, in the Hansard

"Well," the CAQ said, "at least now that the election's over we can begin rebuilding from a solid 13%."

Okay, so I think I finally got the hang of Ballionaire.

Quebec took “vote blue no matter who” as direct instructions, huh?

You know what day it is.. Nuit Blanche! And I am performing! Register before the show: www.eventbrite.ca/e/nuit-blanc...

Is it, though?

Random D&D thought of the night: you could spin a lot of story out of the idea that Waterdeep is the Forgotten Realms' Toronto, complete with the whole "these arrogant pricks think they're the centre of the universe"/"oh my god we *wish* we were Montreal or Vancouver" perspective conflict.

@mimismartypants.bsky.social Just for information’s sake: what would be your reaction to “Art Gallery of Ontario exhibition of Melissa Auf der Maur’s tour photography”?

everyone’s talking about the new bluesky list 😂 you know who else made lists 😬 that’s right santa claus! 🎅 were you naughty 😈 or nice 😊 also dylan klebold and eric harris ☠️

Bon puck, bad puck.

New hobby: when one of the Most Tiresome People On The Internet cleverly says the "USians" instead of "Americans", I'm going to ask what the hell is their problem with the United Mexican States.

All this, and then we learn the Matrix of Leadership is now in the hands of Judd Nelson.

You can tell this new pout has no real constituency because if it did, there’d be grassroots “no, now they’re *freedom* fries” idiots out there demanding to rename *everything*: the California city of Ontario, Little Canada in Minnesota, all of it.

Yeah, I absolutely promise you that were he around to offer an opinion, the first person who would say Doug Ford is the smarter brother would be Rob Ford.

If I have one gift to give the world, it's that you should pronounce "bsky.app" as "bisque yap". Wow, what an awful gift.

It’s bittersweet to see this get posted the same day our grifter of a premier gets to destroy some of the city’s most useful infrastructure. But at least one good Toronto-related thing happened today, and it all comes back to the humble pig.

Just the kind of day where it feels like I should cut out the middleman and move right into the heart of separatist Alberta. Get the full end result of Fordism today, beat the rush. The immensely disabling headache for unrelated reasons isn’t helping.

Gonna post all sorts of complaining about Ricky Gervais’s new cartoon cat cartoon show, except it’ll all be plagiarized one-star reviews of Garfield books with the names changed. I expect it will take five months before any of the chuds stop self-congratulating and notice what I’ve done.

I wish I could love anything as much as Toronto's car-addicted whiners love the food at that mediocre restaurant in High Park. The food at that restaurant will certainly never fulfill that need for me, alas, on account of my having eaten there at older than the age of nine.

I stand with the Man from Fremulon.

Finally found the cover art for my CD single release of η μαμά της Στέισι.

I’ve just finished my shift as a DashCon 2 volunteer, and if you’re wondering, yes, infinite Miku.

About to go commit some global-scale human rights violations! Fortunately I’ve got a really expensive lawyer on call, so I know Amnesty International will keep their goddamn mouths shut about it. Maybe later I’ll go force them to apologize to me for, well, I’ll make up a reason when the time comes.

So this is how I find out Bluesky’s own Mark Watson was at CBar Danforth last night and I missed it. Despair. (I hope you had fun, Mark. The Danforth location is one of the best venues in the city.)

My god. These are the sorts of numbers that would get five thousand ”ha ha what a loser I call him PEEPEE which is a HIGH-larious comedy genius play on words because that’s what a child might call a certain BODY PART” replies if it was the other guy. We are doomed.

The SSI Gold Box engine for Dungeons & Dragons. Games released multiple titles a year for four years (most of which allowed importing characters from earlier games), a MMORPG, and a full construction kit. And now 85% of the people reading are saying "oh, like Baldur's Gate?".

Welcome to the resistance, Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme.

It has been great watching the discourse break down into 10% “this is a strawman, nobody says anything like this and chart guy does not exist”, 60% “chart guy exists and is my hero, he is correct, here is a chart that proves it”, and 30% other.

And every time the response to this correct statement is “so you expect open source developers to be slaves to these morons?”, Microsoft and Adobe make another $50 million. *Someone* is going to write software for the people who can’t write it themselves. You choose who that someone is.

One thing’s certain: Andrew Lloyd Webber is the real winner here, he’s covered either way.

It’s always “don’t speak ill of the dead” and never “don’t be such a piece of shit when you’re alive that people will celebrate when you fucking die”

Me, waiting exactly four seconds: the media’s got nothing on him, let’s do it.

The only true working class jobs are the ones a boy animal was doing in a Richard Scarry book.

A lot of people today are making me long for the sincerity and reflection that went into Russell Brand’s apology for what he did to Andrew Sachs.
