Zohran-style sign with gold-orange lettering in multiple fonts reads: “Grounded for ‘til college” (This is apparently a quote from a show called iCarly, but I only know it from the sound bite being used in YouTube shorts for anime and other fandom content)

Hours later, the Conservative leader stood in the Commons and laid out his objections to the government's fiscal blueprint — as all official Opposition leaders traditionally do. He delivered a more-than 25-minute speech on the first day of debate on the budget, castigating the Liberal plan for $141-billion in new spending over five years, and answered a few MP questions. But then he failed to present the party's desired changes via an amendment - an oversight the Liberal government said is unprecedented. The backrooms of Parliament quickly went into overdrive. "It is a historic f---up," said one Liberal government official with knowledge of the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss confidential matters. Traditionally the official Opposition leader has proposed the main budget amendment. The Bloc Québécois seized on the unexpected opening to swiftly present notice of their own motion to amend the budget - which now becomes the main proposed change to the document - as Conservatives scrambled to fix the oversight. The BQ is the third party in the Commons and would not ordinarily be the lead party to frame the opposition's objections to a government budget. The Liberals said it left the Conservatives stuck with trying to change the BQ's wording in order to express their own budget objections.

(And a note that this also applies to clothes, books, etc for all ages)
Post on a different platform by Kerry Webb The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Me: [stops to try to reset my back, notices three trees next to the government social development and poverty reduction office are loaded with tiny little apple-like fruit] “Oh! Are those edible? That’d be awesome for a place frequented by folks that need food!”
[googles]
“…Oh.”
(From Wikipedia) The fruits (which are often assumed to be inedible due to their abundant, cyanide laced seeds) of the Callery pear are small

I have been craving fruit Certs in and off for years. I don’t even know anything with a similar flavour.
A roll of fruit flavored Certs. No longer exists as of 2018.

I knew it was coming. I knew the first episode was airing today. But I still felt a distinct visceral impact upon seeing this logo on Crunchyroll. 🥺

Okay, NOW it’s October. 😤😁
(See alt-text for details)
A big, orange, pumpkin-bedecked bag of Kerr’s Molasses Kisses. This is apparently a very Canadian candy that most children and many adults don’t like. It was my dad’s favorite though. The candies are individually twist-wrapped lumps of molasses taffy, which is sweet in an earthy/smokey/figgy sort of way with a hint of salty tang. There used to be two brands that made them: Kerr’s and Allan’s. I’m pretty sure the preferred variety was Allan’s, but they don’t seem to make them anymore.

Update: the dichotomy of pancakes a la #DisasterKitchen
This is a very pale shattered pancake in a frying pan. A flip was attempted, it turned into a fold, then a flop, and the once round whole pancake is now angular chunks. Oops. This is a perfect, golden, fluffy pancake in the same frying pan. The second one flipped well and proves that I’m not constantly incompetent in the kitchen, just consistently haphazard. Heh.

Hm. Signs of depression. Did a graph so I’d have a visual representation of what I already figured.

A therapist once said that writing fanfic was a great creative outlet and to keep doing it. My outlet seems to be clogged since around 2017. 😕
A line graph showing number of words of fanfiction I’ve posted to AO3 per year since starting in 2006. There’s a steep fall off at 2012, middling amounts from 2013 to 2016, then complete tanking in 2017 that continues through to current.

What is the auto-suggestion thingy in my translate app trying to tell me? 😳🤨😅🤷‍♀️
Screenshot from translation app set to translate from Japanese to English. In the entry pane for Japanese, a single hirigana ‘a’ character has been entered. The English translation pane has ‘a’ in it. Under that is a suggestion for a phrase that might be being typed for translation. It shows a string of hiragana “あらぬはずの予言ガあだったか.” with English below it saying: “…a prophecy that was supposed to be?” Screenshot from translate app. Japanese entry pane has the suggested phrase from the previous image entered: “あらぬはずの予言ガあだったか.” English translation pane reads: “It was a prophecy that never should have happened.”

I don’t understand the combination in this photo. Coffee. With butter? And a spoonful of loose lard?? 🤨

I find the implications of this distressing. Like, “are your coffee poops not fast enough? Add two types of grease to it and lubricate your entire digestive tract!” 😅
An artfully laid out image of coffee in a ceramic cup and saucer, with a bowl of tidily cut blocks of butter. Between them sits a heaping tablespoon of white, slightly wet-looking, grease. There is nothing else in the image. The combination is distressing to me.

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

I am an extremely cancelled early morning bus trip. Apparently.
Multiple Transit app notifications for the bus on the early morning Route 30 Outbound, starting at the bottom with “Trip cancelled due to mechanical issues” and ending at the top with “Cancelled due to driver error”. Someone did not have a good day.

Be me. Put frozen chicken on counter, get the '🚨<20 mins upright🚨' backstab, sit 'for a minute' to reset.

Pass out ~4 hrs.

Wake up. Chicken thawed & barely cold. Be 🤬😩😞 for a sec then 🤷‍♀️. Put a TON of hot sauce on it. Bake at 425f for ~1.5 hrs.

Carbonized = no bacteria....? 😅

#DisasterKitchen
Crusty black lump of chicken, with hints of deep brownish-red remaining from the hot sauce it was liberally doused with. Flakes of black are around it on the plate, as the black surface crust literally shatters when poked.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

Last time I did this I got Spock. This time, Scotty/James Doohan. 😆
A post from Morgan Cameron Ross 81 years ago today on June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver (and later Sarnia) was shot 6 times on Juno beach while fighting for Canada on D-Day. He would later go on to become Scotty on Star Trek. A photo on the left shows James Doohan in Canadian Military uniform. A photo on the right shows him in costume as Montgomery Scott, Chief engineer on the Starship Enterprise.

Dear Instacart;

What in the AI-fried fuck is your splash screen right now? 🤨
A glass of toilet-water blue something with a red licorice in it floats over a Windows default desktop flat plain of intensely green grass and a featureless sky. Assorted fingers surround the glass, and a lumpy flesh thing partially clad in pink extends from the cup’s left side. If it isn’t AI I would be shocked, but in fairness it could just be that someone tried to do some kind of perspective study thing while excruciatingly drunk.

This tiny watermelon I treated myself to in my grocery order today has almost no white part of the rind. 🤩
A close up of a tiny watermelon that’s been split in half. The rind including the skin and white part is comparatively as thick as a mandarin orange peel. It’s all red ripe watermelon with a thin green rind.

Quote-posting to add alt-text:
The paradox of tolerance by philosopher Karl Popper* First frame: Floating text poses the question: “Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance?” Two people, one feminine, one masculine, share a speech bubble wherein there is a crossed out Nazi swastika, indicating rejection of Naziism. A bald person with a Nazi swastika on their head and shirt holding a burning tiki torch looks at the pair and says: “You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas!” More floating text answers the initial question posed with: “The answer is no.” Text on the bar between the panels reads: “It's a paradox, but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance.” Second frame: Floating text elaborates: “When we extend tolerance to those who are openly Intolerant...” A white-haired person with a handlebar mustache, wearing a pre-WWII German military uniform says: “Let’s give them a chance!” Standing next to him is Adolf Hitler, a dark pole with an eagle on top and a Nazi swastika, and in the background is a depiction of one of Hitler’s speeches. Additional floating text continues the elaboration: “...The tolerant ones end up being destroyed. And tolerance with them.” Third frame: Floating text reads: “Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside of the law.” The image of a cartoon foot kicks cartoon Hitler towards the edge of the frame. A white haired person with a kindly expression and a rust-colored sweater (a cartoon version of the author, Karl Popper) says: “As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance... ...Requires to not tolerate the intolerant.” *source: “The open society and its enemies.” By Karl R. Popper Infographic source: Pictoline.Com
