Shout out to @amandawtwong.bsky.social for her "previous vaccine invite" tip. I logged in and in the system it told me I was eligible for my vaccines from Oct 1st, but I was never sent an invite. I'm curious if this is a technical glitch or a deliberate control on numbers

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.
Any BC people who seem to be missing their invite for covid/flu vaccines? My mum and daughter got their invites, which makes sense as seniors and kids are being prioritized, but now my husband has got his invite and mine is MIA.

The iPod is the best product Apple ever made and they had to kill it because it worked too perfectly.
They should make a way to put music on a physical object that you can play in your house instead of relying on the cloud

I remember this quite clearly as one of my mum's friends was one or two cars back from going over the washed out bridge. She lived at Whistler and was driving home from Van. She turned up at our place in the middle of the night, and lived with us for a week while she worked out how to get home
Ceetar is so pathetically ignorant, you're better off blocking the jerk. That's what I'm going to do

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Expecting GenAI to have good outcomes is like expecting wood chippers to plant trees
That’s on the bingo card! Take a drink!

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.
