The cover of Shane Neilson's book, The Reign.

An incredible and original book. Bonus points for the word, "blisscarmanful."

Margaret Atwood's Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts, shown in front of a Christmas tree.

Just started reading the new @margaretatwood.bsky.social memoir, and I've already learned the word "flibbertigibbet" (p.10). Now compiling a mental list of all the flibbertigibbets I know.

A can of Hold Me Cloaer Tony Danza, a black IPA from Maybee Brewing.

Eh oh. Oh eh.

Good morning, #Fredericton.
Tony, formerly of Fadi’s Pizza is one of my best friends and a genuinely good person.
I didn’t want to say anything until now but, here we are.
He and his family need some help and support. Cancer is expensive.
Please help/donate if you’re able. Thanks 🇨🇦

TheHome | Made in CA The made in Canada resource to quickly find Canadian products, services and retailers, so you can use your dollars to support the Canadian economy.

Useful website listing Canadian products, started by a 17-year-old: madeinca.ca

Making an effort to consume more Canadian products, including entertainment content. This show is much funnier than I ever realized.

Great service this morning from Fredericton Towing Company. Neither car would start, but they were here in 20 minutes for a jump charge to get us going again.

Opening LinkedIn is like rolling down your window in a fast food parking lot. Aggressive marketing people attack like seagulls.

Christmas Eve sliding when you forgot your own travel mug at work.

Ordered Sun Prince last night. Food was great as always, but most impressive was how gracefully and efficiently staff handled all those orders. Excellent customer service.

These two certainly enjoyed the Fredericton Santa Claus Parade.

Santa Claus Parade will be hosted on Fredericton’s Northside, Saturday, November 30 at 5:00PM!
This is Nashwaaksis Kin Club’s 50th Annual Santa Claus Parade
Preceded by Northside Tree Lighting at Nashwaaksis Commons (by Superstore ) 3-4:30pm

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Yes! I think Gunsmoke was on Sundays. I remember Saturdays were Switchback and Space 1999.

Early 80s, Saturday morning, CBC. Looked it up and found there's a livestream happening now: www.youtube.com/live/pnZ68kI...

This is a great idea.
