For heaven’s sake, if your ballot is sitting on your kitchen table or bedroom dresser, MAIL IT IN! Mail it in tonight. With your ID included. Or half a million Albertans made find themselves disenfranchised. And that could tip the balance.

My rallying cry. We must reject these nine noxious questions, which are cynically designed to incite discrimination and foment distrust in our courts, our county, and our fellow Canadians. Say no to the nine. And please read snd share. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Canada #Alberta #notothenine

Wasn’t able to secure any review code for HELLRAISER unfortunately. But I found this amazing FB clip of Doug Bradley doing a Scouse Pinhead and now I’m crying from laughter. He’s amazing. (Source: YMH Podcast.)

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI.

This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying

When I saw Ghost, the Pacific Giant octopus at the Aquarium of the Pacific she was entering senescence and slowing down. I captured her color with airbrush, so now she has a portrait.

Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I think about MLK. He said this thing I always think about -- 'If your coalition is not uncomfortable, it's not big enough.' A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Thundercloud Cuckoo the Neolithic Bird Statue. I designed and hand-sewed him, and I first created this style of bird in a dream a few months ago. Thundercloud enjoys appearing to people in their dreams.

MEANWHILE, in Canada, meet Brady Rogers, the reluctant politician who's fed up and thinks he can do better.

His sign says "I barely want to do this."

His website says, "I guess I'm running for Kelowna city council."

His business? Recycling plastic into cool things.

Geese are containers of all the spite, meanness, and hate taken from Canadians, transferred to them in the annual Emotional Conflux, a week after Moose-hatching season ends.

The energy radiates from the CN Tower, across the ionosphere, and into geese around the globe.
