I have never once heard jazz singing and thought "more please."

Trump: “Stop calling us Nazis, that is NOT our jam!”

Also Trump: “Thumbs Up! Nazis are TOTALLY my jam!”

RFK Jr. looks like he killed Laura Palmer with measles.

Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

Boss: I have an idea

I got mad at myself for clicking on a crappy reel and realized: if I have an unhealthy impulse, it's on me to put it aside and move on. If Facebook or Instagram show me a reel that caters to my worst self, I close it but IT KEEPS SUGGESTING REELS.

Social media is intrusive thoughts disorder.

The four words every human longs to hear

- Seriously, David Hendsbee looks like a regular at some pub owned by an acquaintance of his, who rattles awake over an unfinished plate of nachos just in time to sexually harass his server and undertip.

- Hey, Hickeys - if you keep having to tell people you're "good guys," you're not good guys.
- Sam Austin doing the Sisyphean task of doing enough research and planning to build consensus for politicians who don't give a shit
- David Hendsbee is some waitress' recurring nightmare.

Attended my first #Halifax City Council meeting last night to support the by-law amendment preventing in-fill of Dartmouth Cove until a comprehensive plan is produced. Some observations:

Boomers: "I hate driving downtown. It's so stressful."
Also Boomers: "Let's buy the biggest, most expensive car there is and never use Bluetooth."

My Newfoundland aunt, listening to a country radio song about a new truck: "I like this one!"
What I hear:

Marc Maron, Hero Of Our Time. YouTube video by R

Really enjoying Marc Maron's recent podcast tour. He can speak to The Mothership of it all in modern comedy with clarity and authority.

Woke up at 4 AM with an absolute certainty: Elon Musk is using up natural resources to "perfect" AI so that he can replace humanity and relocate to Mars.

My 4 AM proof of this that his favourite game is Battle of Polytopia, a mobile Civ-type game that is a sprint to secure resources to win.

given Superman's age and pop-punk predilection in the new film I argue it is not only entirely possible but highly likely that he chose his superhero name based on the song by Goldfinger

A bidding system for upgrading a seat on a flight. The suggested bid is $455.

This is a new evil. Got an email for an upcoming flight, offering me the "opportunity" to upgrade to a premium seat. I clicked through to see what it was priced at, and discovered a BIDDING SYSTEM.

Worth noting that the $455 suggested bid is more than I paid for the ticket in the first place.

I Wanna Destroy You ( 2025 Remaster), by The Soft Boys from the album Underwater Moonlight (45th ANNIVERSARY REMASTER)

Feeling this song hard lately.

I think I'm having a mid-life crisis, but who can tell in this economy?

Back in the 80s, a fella my age would buy a sportscar and start dating younger women. But here in 2025, I'm just thinking about getting into sourdough.

Thinking about "Splish splash, I was taking a bath." I miss this era of music - entire songs about whatever.

Where's my club banger about cleaning wax from your ears or binge watching Friends for the fifth time. Where's my pop hit about ordering Door Dash at 11PM because you can't leave the house.

'This isn't good governance. This is foolish': Andy Fillmore's bike lane motion fails - Halifax Examiner "I am confident in what my knowledge of good governance is and I'll continue to work in that way," Fillmore says.

“It’s unfortunate the internet got involved”… you spelled constituents wrong Andy

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jaques Morelenbaum, Everton Nelson · 1996 · Song · 1996

The first time I encountered Ryuichi Sakamoto's theme for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, I had the revelation of how indebted Joe Hisaishi of #ghibli fame is to his work.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I would never call myself a "dog parent," but every time my little dog has a big poop, I want to buy him a car for this 16th birthday.

The fate of our entire global civilization rests on a few thousand distractable midwesterners who have the TV on in the background all the time but don't really listen to it

It's not full control. If the demo wants to move left, you can push right at half speed. If it wants to move right, you can push right at double speed.

As best as I can tell, the bug is that the second ship ticks over a counter in the demo that means it validates input.

Weird!

Found a weird bug on the Namco Ms. Pacman/Galaga split #arcade cabinet.

Once the Galaga ship is doubled during the Galaga demo play, the joystick will actually give you limited input.

New least favourite category of #AIslop - reels with footage of actual things, but with an AI narrator describing what's happening and getting it wrong.

I love alt #comedy, but I'm also of the opinion that half of it is written by saying "wouldn't it be funny if I ______* and didn't say anything about it?"

*wore my shirt inside out
*yelled for no reason
*Used anachronistic slang
*just said "uuuuuuuuh" for a whole minute.

Cover art for Bonnie Raitt's 1989 album, Nick of Time. Framed by a flaming head of red hair, a black pants suit with cheetah print highlights and an outlandishly large belt buckle resembling a small drum cymbal, Raitt is mid-40s sex incarnate.

For women, "the change of life" is menopause. For men, it's when all you want to do is listen to Bonnie Raitt's 1989 classic, Nick of Time.
