“We will build a Canada that is not just strong, but good; not just prosperous, but fair; not just for some, most of the time, but for all, all of the time,” he said. “That is the responsibility we have been given by Canadians. We will achieve it together.”

I’m wearing Christmas socks today, because I didn’t get to wear them on Christmas. I’m sure it counts for something, right?
Revenge is a dish best (soft) served cold.
Music is food.
Are birds bothered by turbulence? Is it like a human tripping over a bump in the ground? Whoops didn’t see that there.
Remember when all we had to worry about was a global pandemic? Good times.
this is called chicken/man but Ron Mueck could also have called it “arguing on the internet”
“Take On Me” is an example of a completely perfect pop song.
Aha, so the secret strategy to make everything a wine bar is working: www.theguardian.com/australia-news…
How about an equivalent tax on petrol cars? Every petrol car sold subsidises an EV? www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...
“In *my* world, *you’re* all frozen.”
This is why office kitchens, especially after a couple of years, always have more knives than would ordinarily be necessary, fewer forks and large spoons, and absolutely no teaspoons. This is, of course, the exact inverse to the popularity of utensils in an office kitchen.
Lifecycle of a utensil in an office kitchen:
1. Start as a teaspoon.
2. Grow into a larger spoon.
3. Metamorphosis! Now a fork.
4. Final resting stage: Butter knife.
We’re finally watching S03 of “Star Trek Strange New Worlds”. I can’t believe how amazingly bad this series is.

Might even get me posting here more…
I’m trying out @aeronautapp.com. It’s nice: a real Mac app. Some nice touches, works well, seems to refresh automatically (yay!). A good release. Hopefully there’ll be more features coming up!
I hope that goes well for you. Tangentially, a friend sent me this yesterday, I laughed out loud. bit.ly/4kaa1sk
This is the most Guardian blind date ever.
Why do dog people assume that everyone else likes dogs too? I can’t stand the things.
Because my Akai rig goes boom, boom. My Akai rig goes boom.
Today is OneDrive's turn to get a new icon. It's not bad, slighly lickable. Sumptuous, even. I just wish they'd fix the numerous underlying issues with the actual sync service. You've got one job. And why are you 1.2gb??
Outlook/Mac's pretty new icon.
Okay the new Outlook/Mac icon is kind of pretty; at least it looks like an envelope.
(Under-20-year-old-human: "What's an envelope?")
If I had $1 for every time I blew my nose today I'd … well … I'd be able to afford way more tissues.
