John Cena and Kal Penn have the same birthday as John Oliver, so that makes me older than them too. And Ye. And Shakira. And Milo Ventimiglia, Tom Hardy, Tom Brady, Michael Fassbender, Jaime Pressly, Fiona Apple, Ludacris, Colin Hanks and Liv Tyler.

He also looks like he's about 80 years old in that picture. Hard to imagine he's just a few years older than me but then again, hard to imagine that John Oliver and Alex Horne are the same age as me too (actually, I'm a little bit older)

Looked her up on rav and now I have a dozen new patterns in my wishlist!

Woman wearing a light purple and rainbow speckled handknit sweater

Finished knitting and blocking this sweater test for Natural Knits. Many thanks to @byautumn.com for introducing me to this great local designer!

I have seen it a Groundhog's Day amount of times and am always surprised when I see him and am like, "that's Michael Shannon!" And my kids look at me because a) it's not the first time I've mentioned it and b) they don't know who he is

UofT: you are not allowed to work remote full time because we are an in person institution
Also UofT: campus is closed but you have to work remotely

I used to think I wanted money and then I wanted stuff and now I just want to be able to eat like a teenager with no consequences

A green sweater with leaf shaped cable motifs around the yoke

Finally finished my #sculpt sweater by @unwind-knitwear.bsky.social Took 6 months and multiple adjustments but it's on the blocking mats

Purim costumes are supposed to match the day. Kids traditionally dressed up as Esther, Antiochus and Haman

"down with socialism???" Fuck off. I got a text from a PC bot last month and replied to the question "can we count on your support" with "suck my dick, fascists"

Handknit white and red wool hat with a cozy house motif and giant pompom

A handknit wool hat with rainbow speckles on a white background and dark purple leaf motif

A yellow green handknit cotton balaclava with triangle eye holes on a floral background

I also finished some hats. The green one was for an alien Halloween costume

A pink and black handwoven scarf in a houndstooth pattern on a white background

A hand knit baby cardigan made from blue, brown and grey scrap yarn on a white background

A blue and white striped hand knit baby cardigan with blue buttons on a white background

A pale blue and purple handknit tshirt with hot pink stripes and edges on a light grey background

I haven't finished many projects this year. I did some Sunnyside baby cardigans and a Rock It Tee designed by Tanis Lavalee, and I wove a houndstooth scarf that took me all day to warp and it's too skinny, I wish I had made it 20 more strands wide.

Still one of my favourites

Gag 219: Every time I see this in a movie/tv show I think they mean Christmas

I learned to knit. Make my own socks now. And tbh, how much would your kid love these? www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

100,000 years of human evolution (presumably including raising younglings), and suddenly you can't imagine raising a child without digital assistance? Really? Come on.

Orrrr.....you could just NOT provide them with your fake name account (which, honestly, is how I've been operating for 20 years)

But will it turn your hair teal? Because that would be a clincher for me

It's an astute observation

BLACK CYBER HOLIDAY DEAL! I'm raising my prices by ten million dollars at each level. Now they are even more prestigious to own. Tell all your disruptors!

It's not like he's an imaginary man

Mel Brooks was right, other people/robots falling IS hilarious

I bought this pattern earlier this year but haven't had the energy to do full stranded socks. Yours look great!

And over at Homesense, a random single ninja turtle

Like Corey Hart, Bryan Adams and Richard Marx?

Someone needs to photoshop "boaty mcboatface" onto the back of that ship

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

Having difficulty getting motivated today for completely unrelated to sports reasons.

A winter hat with a red house motif, grey doors, yellow windows and a very big pompom

Pompom too big?
