It costs nothing to take the kindness route when commenting on someone’s post or YouTube video; takes marginally more zing to be constructively critical. Costs soul points to reach out and rip someone online.
I didn’t even know about this.

If you're going to be kind to another human, today is the day to do it!

Oh, I forgot to mention: the planner part of my Brain Book was too small, so I switched it up for 2026– which starts on 1 November, in #JibunTecho land. Much better. Now I’m thinking about what sort of EDC journal I can put in my former wee Brain Book.

Somehow, I’ve become one of those ‘here’s my journal ecosystem!’ people. If anyone hears me use the term ‘colour way’ non-ironically, just put me out of my misery.

Dunno know if that ad was a play for the MAGA set or yet another fashion team showing how out-of-touch that industry is.

Don’t know Sydney Sweeney enough to gauge if she was showing her colours or too dumb to get it.

But both of those make her irreversibly give me the ick. Same for American Eagle.

It occurs to me that whoever created the air-fryer Bang Bang Chicken recipe that I use lost a real opportunity by not calling it ‘chicken chicken bang bang,’ And now I’m salty about it.

Songs I wish I’d played bass on, part whatever:

On Ira, by Zaz.

The song sounds fun and the bass line complements the other parts perfectly.

I couldn’t find a wee stamp of the YouTube logo, so I made one out of a white eraser. I use it in my planner to note my subscriber numbers for each of my channels on the first of every month.

I am so tired of living in historic times. I think I’m always going to miss the way things used to be, problematic as they could be.

Dunno if anyone’s interested, but I sometimes make cocktails or review whisky on YouTube. Example: youtube.com/shorts/Qwu9z...

I find that writing something down on paper nails it in place in my mind; tapping on a screen leaves the information half baked and transient.

So, to make sure I remember something, on paper it goes.

Anyone else?

I swapped out #gmail for #TutaMail, tossed #Waze & #GoogleMaps in favour of #MapQuest & Apple Maps. Deep-sixed the app formerly known as #Twitter for #BlueSky

I need to find an #instagram replacement; might just drop Facebook and enjoy the silence.

I also stopped #AmazonPrime

Achievement unlocked: mega grocery haul comprised of 99% Canadian or Mexican products.

Paying this much attention *does* lengthen the grocery trip, though…

Just so you know. Amazon.ca is cancelled at my place.

That bit about Tesla and Lucid is interesting. Didn’t know that.
If you can, you should buy an EV right now. Especially one that can provide backup power.

Thats all Rivians, Kias, and Hyundais, the Leaf, the ID4, the Lightning, and a few others. No Teslas or Lucids except the CT. I doubt there are a lot of cybertruck buyers here, though.

Hey, you know what I miss?

Slamming the receiver down to hang up on someone.

Moving stuff over from the Meta hellhole, part one:

Songs I wish I’d played the bass in, episode 1:
Révolver by Sally Folk
Album: Sally Folk, 2013

Reason: the bass is the embodiment of the Swedish concept of Lagom.

Also, I’d kill to play in a horn band.

Does anyone else watch kitten videos just to get through the endless shitstorm coming out of Washington?

I mean, not wrong.
looking forward in two years to getting a push alert that american troops are bogged down fighting a quebecois nationalist insurgency in montreal
Canada is a “country that should be a (US) state,” reiterates President Trump. “They’ll get much better treatment, much better care and much lower taxes, and they’ll be much more secure.”

Looking for a good #Instagram replacement. I just signed up to #Vero but I haven’t posted anything yet so if anyone has a better option, sound off.

Ditto for #facebook, though I might just drop it no matter what.
January 23, 2025 at 12:52 AM
Makes sense to me.
For the people in the back…

Just in case you needed some good news today.
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

It makes me unreasonably happy that I have a tab in Blue Sky for posts about birds.
