I was talking to this supervillain the other day, and he was saying it’s really hard to get good henchmen now. No one wants to hench full time. It’s a dying art. Some henchmen only hench for 1/3 of their day, and then drive uber to make ends meet. Cost of living, I guess.

I’m a bit disappointed no one has figured out how to get AI into my toothpaste yet. C’mon oligarchs! Rise to the challenge! Get your best lackeys on it!

I’m wondering if I’m the first person to notice this, but there seems to be a mode on my portable phone to use it as a camera, front and back. If you use the front camera, it’s very easy to take a self portrait. I just need to figure out how to photograph the photos off the phone. Anyway, seems cool

I would just like to clarify, for the benefit of any world leaders or military personnel who may be considering the prison at Scheveningen in the Hague as a nice place to retire: that isn’t where you would actually serve out your sentence. Surprising! I just looked this up today. No special reason.

I wonder if Alberta premier Danielle Smith worries if she’ll run out of petty and mean things she can do? Does that thought keep her up at night? That she’ll run out of shitty ideas?

I’m curious why the fine for fare evasion on @translink.ca is $173 and not $173.52 or $172.49?

Just about ten years ago, my awesome partner and a group of friends organized a party to celebrate my transition, and something like 200 people showed up. Every trans person deserves to be celebrated that way!

I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself.
We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit.
We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

This is going to sound “revolutionary”, but perhaps the way around the financial woes of the @canadapostcorp.bsky.social #Canadapost is to undo Mulroney-era changes requiring it to operate as a business, and once again treat it as the govt service it ought to be.

The only thing I worry about if Pierre Poilievre gets kicked out as the Conservative leader, is who’s going to tell us that bees make honey? Or wait, is it flies that make honey and bees consume it? See, I’m already getting confused.
