I enjoy when the restaurant I order from miscounts what I ordered and I get four sandwiches instead of two, because it was a two for one deal, and they over-enthused.

I'm sad to report that there is apparently no online BeOS simulator.

The stupid art and postcard crossover thing I bought with my labour money.

Imagine the universe combining my two favourite things.

Yeah. True. Bum.

Dear American friends.

If you have a paint gun, fill it with neon / fluorescent / reflective paint that can't be removed from the target. Make sure to test the paint on any ICE-cream truck to ensure it works.

I remember one person saying that there were fresh vegs China was importing from the US - things like corn - that were sold in China cheaper than what Americans were paying.

It's fucking shameful.

I see vids on TikTok all the time about random people living their lives in China and how common it is to eat out because of how cheap it is. There's hot pot and other such stuff all over, and you can get a whole meal for just a few dollars.

It's not on the products page, but they have a coffee milk that is so damn good it's gooder than other good things. You can get it at Denninger's - the one on Upper James at least.

Hauled in by crane, I'm sure.

Definitely a case of the call coming from inside the house.

I'm glad there's decades worth of already made film and TV from multiple countries online for me to dig through.

We have apparently reached that part of the year when I will be forced to wear socks and a jacket (or two).

Every year this offends me ... the socks part, that is.

Dear friends:

Our Compliments naturally smoked bacon? Don't. It tastes and smells more like liquid smoke than bacon.

Lonita @lonita.bsky.social · 4d

It was on TikTok. If I can find it again, I'll pass it along.

I just watched a vid about this very thing. She was talking about the military as a whole though, and mentioned that it's going to be interesting watching those people who are out going on their revenge tour to fight FOR Americans instead of targeting them.

Oh, don't let his actions fool you. Carney knows how to play Trump like a fiddle in public. He knows how to let people think they're getting their way. He'd never have gotten where he is if he couldn't.

Don't get me wrong. I still fucking loathe him, but he's not a patsy.

My PM got more than one pointed email from me today, as did the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I'm sick of Canada's shit too, believe me.

You just wait. The Israelis will bomb themselves and blame it on Hamas.

Lonita @lonita.bsky.social · 5d

I love righteous civil disobedience.

Lonita @lonita.bsky.social · 5d

I never think about it unless someone reminds me of it.

I still miss LiveJournal though.

Another denizen for the chair-side TBR pile.

We should also:

* expel all Israeli diplomats
* prosecute Canadian citizens who serve in the IDF
* seize all assets of IDF- and Israeli-supporting organisations, and put that money towards the rebuilding of Gaza
* offer access to Canada to Palestinian refugees now in camps in Egypt, Syria, etc.

While the first sentences made me grit my teeth, please listen to the whole thing.

Senator Kim Pate @kpateonthehill.bsky.social · 5d

Senator Woo’s motion calls on the Government of Canada to examine and report, within 3 months, “the risk of Canada’s complicity in violations of international law (including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide).” 1/3

If it's such a holy time, why are Israelis staining it with such horrors perpetrated upon Palestinian people.

We have a reputation we don't keep up. We are complicit, in multiple ways. There is no spine in our elected leaders, only greed.

We are going to be judged badly if we don't do something.

I know Carney and Anand's P9 addresses. Believe you me, they've both heard from me multiple times about Palestine and the road we're going down if Canada remains complicit in any part of a Zionist/Israeli agenda.
