Gonna pin the most recent of my #HalloweenTombsones here for the year because it’s at lot easier to scroll thru them from the bottom up!

I’m already collecting more for 2026.

I just achieved a new best score on a Scrabble game: 510 (set to Hard, playing against a computer. I cheat by using an app bc the computer IS an app, so it levels the field a bit. But still…three bingos is unusual!)

How many of us have had that conversation… telling someone that they have a disease that will progressively cause cognitive decline? Or loss of mobility?

The fear and sadness this provokes?

That’s why I’m gentle with “the masses” wrt C19.

💯♥️😷🤗 Doctors take an oath to DO NO HARM. They must protect patients. But many of them dropped masks years ago. I wrote a song "Minimizer" about it

First came across Biscoff biscuits in June--they were in a B&B we stayed at in Scotland. Loved them so much we bought some in a grocery store to bring back with us--having NO IDEA that they're common here. I don't go a day without seeing a reference to them somewhere. How did I miss them before??

If one Afghan nationalist shooter means all Afghan nationalists are evil, wait until I tell you about white male shooters.

This is a special commemorative (100,000 sold) model of a range of all-in-one computers manufactured by Sharp.

Feels particularly appropriate for a graphic of the Enterprise on its screen. Keyboard... How quaint..

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

How our current medical establishment spread COVID disinformation and leveraged the rage they created to seize power, where they are showing the malevolence and incompetence.

For those that wonder why I still mask, and why I think every psychologist should be screaming from the rooftops about the dangers posed to society by COVID infections.

We can’t handle the requirements of those with special needs NOW. What happens when demand increases?

$65B (billion) of healthcare funding in Ontario has gone missing.

Over five years, at least.

The Auditor General has no idea where it went, so it wasn't audited.

Oh, you didn't know?

That's #CdnMediaColludes doing a good job.

This one's for everyone who's spent years being attacked for pointing out the mistakes, negligence and conflicts of interest that let COVID run wild and wasted an enormous number of lives.

The bad guys may have connections, and be protected by their friends...but that doesn't last forever.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Eliminating the need for the workforce leads to the need to eliminate the workforce.

Better dead than fed (with oligarchs’ tax dollars).

The rich have bunkers.

We changed our website provider. Predictably, our Google ad wasn't happy during the switch over, and warned us that the ad was "DISALLOWED"

The reasons:

"Destination not working, Abortion, Birth Control."

We don't mention either of those, so it appears the GOP platform is just a default now.
