Writing a wedding card for friends’ eldest daughter and can’t think of anything better than the “if any of you hurts any of my new friends” speech from Miss Congeniality

Weird I’m on Rogers too. Just lucky I guess!

Thanks for weighing in!

Weird. Who’s your cable provider?

It was so bad for Practice that I ended up not watching the whole thing because it was annoying me and I hoped it was a one-off. Then the same thing but a little better for Quali. Here’s hoping it’s not like this for the rest of the season.

Is anyone else watching F1 on Sky Sports on TSN and finding the audio just awful??

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

If you’d like a series in which people take themselves and wine too seriously, is very French, and still somehow silly, may I recommend Drops of God.

Weirdly addictive plus you’ll be able to brush up on your French and Japanese, maybe?

The film follows an Irish refugee girl and a Choctaw boy who meet in 1847 New York and journey across America together, drawing on the real historical bond between Ireland and the Choctaw Nation.

A cardboard egg carton is open on a countertop, filled with 12 eggs of all different colours - light brown, pale blue, pale green, and very dark speckled brown.

A lot of the time living in a small town sucks but sometimes your friend’s mom brings you eggs and it’s pretty good

The headline reads "Meta workers say they're seeing disturbing things through users' smart glasses."

In a moment of uncharacteristic incredulity I assumed it was badly written. Why would Meta *workers* being seeing things through Meta *users'* glasses?

SILLY ME.

Who knows - it may all be a massive coincidence that I didn’t have any friends in their 40/50s have a heart attack/stroke before 2021, and it has nothing to do with with covid.

But it’s a pretty awful coincidence.

We’ve just found out that a friend has had a major stroke in their 40s. That’s 2 in the last 5y. Add that to the five people we know that have had heart attacks in their late 40s/early 50s.

How many folks in their 40/50s did you hear about having heart attacks and strokes pre-covid?? It’s wild.

My mom sure didn’t care for it when I told her that her refusal to wear masks because she thought they were uncomfortable was prioritizing her personal comfort over my 93yo, immunocompromised father’s health, I’ll tell you that much.

Except if you’re in Mountain Time! Then you get to keep the current system AND have to figure out what time it is in Vancouver based on the time of year. Fun!

Wait until you hear what they’re doing with the “small number of communities in eastern BC on Mountain Time.”

(Hint: it’s pure chaos and it’s not a small number of communities)

I watched a season of Real Housewives of Dubai and there sure were a bunch of British and American expat ladies who said they moved there to “feel safe” but it seems like they just want to be gaudy
