makes me very happy and delighted to hear! Can't wait to start on it properly.
I am trying very hard to be good and not start it at 1:30 AM ๐ but I am _so_ excited. I hope it's been as good to you as the first season!
ah fuck the live action One Piece season 2 just came out
!!! There's a Prime series about the maple syrup heist starring character actress Margo Martindale ๐
The thieves apparently stole over 9000 barrels of syrup from the cartel worth over _$18 million_, the largest theft in Canadian history ๐ธ
Absolutely love that the quebecoise cartel controlling maple syrup production is called the Producteurs et productrices acรฉricoles du Quรฉbec (literally the "Producers and Productresses of maple syrup of Quebec).
Gendered languages!
Hello Nerd Nite Toronto! Very excited for Pi(e) Day and a new set of funny nerdy unexpected talks on baking and the Great Maple Syrup Heist ๐
Led to a good discussion about identity and name and whether that we'd find that distressing (as happened to the guy in the bar) or playful and free. I've always thought the latter and for her my friend felt the opposite; talking through that was unexpectedly clarifying!
A while back I read an article about a performance troop that went into a bar, picked a random guy, and all acted like they knew him by a different name and life. Can't find it, thoughโdoes anyone know it?
My friend Steph has an art station at a daytime rave today and for the prompt "sexy deer" she drew this for me ๐
Unfortunately I read The Night Circus as an e-book way back in the day, so I don't have an actual record of how I felt or what I made of the ending as I read it.
All of the sudden I found myself revisiting the end of Erin Morgenstern's great book The Night Circus and how its ending can speak to trying to be part of the whole world vs making your space in a community. Made for a surprising and vaguely profound shower today ๐
Live demos *do* work, you just have to record them ahead of time and narrate as it plays ๐
The best part is when he busts out a completely new opinion you've never heard before
He likes a stable surface, I guess! Probably gotta train them young to enjoy something like a bath tupperware.
I am: having it with bath time
Cat is: not having it with bath time
One valuable things senior engineers can model: it's ok for live demos not to work. It happens! It's ok! It's nothing for people to get stressed or feel bad about.
(Speaking entirely from personal and very recent experience ๐

Looks like Toronto is standing in for old-timey New York again
Yeah! For me it wasn't even confusing, it was something I was both so aware of and simultaneously didn't have enough conscious awareness of to know I didn't have words for it.
Wild to think back to!
Good morning Toronto
This looks incredibleโan anthology of Muslim stories of aspirational futures being made as both prose and comics. Just backed it!
Two hours later he was mad at me for being awake but not with him ๐ฎโ๐จ insatiable
I did indeed save quite a bunch! it's more that I'm running out of bookshelf space ๐ฌ
Proposal to add a flag to atproto to indicate "yes I saw my typo and it's fine"
Me too! I never even saw the film, my deeply formative yet opaque feelings were entirely based on the commercials ๐
Just aaw that Michael Jackson music video from Free Willy and oh right, I had such a crush on that kid when I was young (a crush I absolutely did not understand)
every damn time @bmvbooksannex.bsky.social
Who let Edmund Burke write a musical
I'm only a few pages in but I'm hooked! Can't wait to see more of this spooky world and its mysteries ๐ฆด
