Monday was a hell of a long month

No, it’s just sparkling malaise

I’m not sure I can think of any eugenicists that I’d characterize as smart

Stupidity

True that. I’m not just good, I’m good *enough*

Even eugenicism has a prerequisite

In the words of Super Grover, “and I am cute, too”

Of course you do. I’m frickin’ adorable.

Hanlon’s razor probably deserves centre stage here.

It literally beggars belief. Meech Lake in ‘93, AirPods in ‘25.

I’ve heard that oatmeal is a wonderful accompaniment to masking and vaccination.

One of the rare instances where the answer isn’t “because they’re brown”

“What’s that pain in my shoulder?”, and other Paul Anka hits

Laughs in memories of “Ottawa: Technically Beautiful”

Apparently, you can go out and buy a pair of AirPods and listen to any damn thing you want to on them, unless that thing is a person standing in front of you and you want to use the iPhone’s hearing aid feature. To do that you need the approval of 13 provincial and territorial regulators.

I did not see myself writing my MLA and MP trying to provoke a constitutional crisis over a pair of Apple AirPods when I got up today, but here we are.

She’s on the mend now, happily. Most of that time was monitoring and observation.

I just spent most of my last 10 days at the bedside of my kid across 3 wards in 2 different hospitals, and I can confirm that "mandatory" has clearly acquired a new meaning that I wasn't previously familiar with.

I’m not sure that’s a betrayal of her core values. Her inability to sense her own best-before date or grow the party suggests to me that “look at me, I matter” *is* her core value

The Mariah song is still better than virtually any pop star rendition of O Holy Night, which we will doubtless also be subjected to ad nauseam over the coming weeks.

Every interview is like a mound visit with Nuke Laloosh in Bull Durham

How long is the fish now?

Indeed. I’m waiting for “ferry cancelled because we don’t like the look of those teenagers”

I heard a promo for this on our local morning show and my literal first thought was “There’s a GO station in Pickering. You chose this for yourself.”

Water seeks its own level

The same was true tonight for portions of the Ross household. If you can find a way to dilute it with some gratitude, I find that usually helps.

And less than 4 feet away is a bed with a USB charging port and a pocket for a phone. It’s a study in contrasts here.

Here at the leading edge of medical technology…

If you had to ask a non-Torontonian to name two stores in Toronto in my youth, they’d have probably coughed up at least one of Honest Ed’s or Sam the Record Man. Both of course were noted for their conventional facades and selection of merchandise.
