Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Are you okay?
It's definitely time to remind folks (again) that George Michael was a gay artist who took a lot of shit, stood up for us at a time when it was *really* needed, gave a great deal to charity and died way too young.
I will not be participating in #Whamageddon

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.
Screenshot of a Threads interaction. Rage-baity man: I know this will start a fight. Why most female carry a purse? Meanwhile most male have everything in their pocket. Keys, wallet, cellphone, etc. Please explain. Woman with no fucking time for his nonsense: Men's pockets are the size of their egos. Womens' pockets are the size of men's usefulness.
Wanna see a murder?
Screenshot of Ticketmaster app: Foo Fighters tickets with an obstructed view priced at $255.63 CAD - EACH!
I mean, the venue choice was already a not-so-great one but Holy FUCK that's an insane price (and for an obstructed view, no less.) Sorry, my rad pal Dave, I love you but it looks like we won't be seeing each other this time. π

Dearest Canva,
If you must participate in the enshittification of everything, please allow paying customers (or any users, really) the ability to turn that AI slop off.

Hey fellow Canucks - if you're over on Eh! Social, come give me a follow. LDBlakeley is the @
Oh, damn - I wasn't even thinking of it from a user POV. You're right - that's bound to be insane. I was thinking about all the people who will suddenly be without a (well-paying) job when all these companies go tits up.
Remember when the dot com bubble burst? I do. It was brutal. I'm thinking there's going to be an AI version in the not-too-distant future.
Many also allow walk-ins! I was in and out in ten minutes--covid and flu shots together--last week, and I'm rural. It's easy and free, so take advantage of it!
Rest easy, Space Ace

It was your IG post that tipped me to the link. What a shitshow. Jesus.
Of course, you can't simply show up with your package and pay. You need to set up a "profile" with an app, your email addy, CC, and personal deets. Xmas at Canada Post should be quite the Gong Show. I mean... more so than usual.
Cue the Yakety Sax
