Sunday night Curling, with a dusting of snow afterwards!

I had some nice schnitzel for dinner, but my plan to go ice skating in Rosedale afterwards was stymied by the warm weather. They've delayed the opening of the Rosedale Oval from tonight until next Wednesday.

Tonight’s election results prove that Trump and Trumpism are bad politics - deeply unpopular.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Zohran Mamdani wins!

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.

Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

When they called it people in the bar started making out like it was New Year’s Eve lol

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

May tonight be a beautiful reminder that Regular People Hate This Shit #rphts

My new curling team is really starting to gel - we scored four points tonight!

I rode my Onewheel to the Oakdale Nature Preserve this afternoon, and this time, I took my binoculars.

They were playing lots of Nirvana at the open skate this morning.

Affected: The Manor is a Halloween tradition of mine. For the last decade, it has been the definitive VR haunted house. And the first jump scare (the bats) gets me every. single. time.

Considering the rain and the late hour, I wasn't expecting any trick or treaters to show up after we got home from the movie, but one group of four kids did! (And we gave each of them a large pile of candy)

My Halloween costume this year is "I ordered a 'Bandit' mask from Amazon"

Playing some even spookier VR mini golf tonight! (the same haunted mansion as last night, but on hard mode this time)

Following three years of significant investments in addiction services, opioid overdoses have declined by 32% in the last year.

We’re saving lives and showing what’s possible when we meet this crisis with compassion and action.

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see The Lost Boys!

The open skate today was a "Spooky Skate", with Halloween decor and kids in costumes. With so many people on the ice, I didn't try to practice backwards skating this time, I just practiced my "skating in crowds" skill.

Quake is a good game to play during Halloween season

A cold wet day calls for some hot spicy tacos.

I have just finished playing through Sigil II, a map pack for Doom made by John Romero in 2023. It was pretty challenging at times, but I was able to beat it on Ultra Violence without cheating.

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.
