Brilliant actor and film: Cillian Murphy in Small Things Like These,

This is the first time in 31 years that I haven’t been preparing for the first day of teaching. Going to sit in the garden.

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.

Hoping for an interesting result in tomorrow’s by-election.

'Diaper Diplomacy' parodies pint-sized politicians throwing grown-up tantrums YouTube channel "Diaper Diplomacy" uses AI to turn some of the nation's most well-recognized political figures into babies. Here's what we know about it.

August 18 by-election. Will be interesting.

I love Statistics Canada. Condolences to our American neighbours on the recent firing of your official responsible for reporting labour data.

Microsoft Office renewal this month — up 46% ($36).

Hmm. Sedatious. (Watching Colbert monologues. Next up “South Park.”)

Met a hedgehog on the bus today. Thank you, @translink.ca, for your animal diversity.

It’s been a year in the city. Verdict still out. Like the happy acceptance of Laurence the Neighbourhood Bear, though.

Thank you, Chris.

In the transition away from X, I ended up not following many new BlueSky accounts for BC and Canadian people and organizations. Can you recommend accounts to follow? Thanks.
