Hey
UK and EU folk.
It's that time of year again.
I visited my relative in Long Term Care in the US today after not seeing them for 3 months. This winter, travel has been problematic.
I picked up an envelope of mail for my relative that they were holding for me. It’s 5 things from 2024. FFS. 15 month old mail. I’m SO ANNOYED right now.
I’m at the #RBG in #BurlON to attend the Natural Lands open house. The photos before the presentation are beautiful!
My luggage has just arrived, so the 2026 Olympics are now officially over.
This is amazing.

Some US men’s players apologized; even more talked about how much they respected the USA women’s team. What they didn’t seem to realize was that if you respect them and don’t apologize for the Trump debacle, it actually makes embracing Trump worse. www.thestar.com/sports/nhl/t...
Important to call lies out when there are lies. These are lies from a liar.

It’s been four years today. People in Ukraine are still fighting and dying to defend the rest of us from russian aggression.
Every day, Russia uses cruise missiles and UAVs to target civilian infrastructure like hospitals and powerplants.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
When I tell people how I use AI at work they often ask “How can you trust it?”
My reply? “I don’t.”
Harrison Faulkner: Hockey programs should be more heavily subsidized across the country. The cost for Canadian kids to become goalies is far too high. Rink fees are outrageous and ice time needs to be seriously reconsidered. Pricing kids and Canadian families out of the game while bulldozing historic hockey rinks is insane. Ripping the heart of hockey culture and demonizing Hockey Canada to score political points has a detrimental impact on the country. It should be a right for Canadian kids to play hockey, not a privilege.
Canada's Olympic hockey defeat is driving right-wing influencers into the arms of socialism

Joseph Yeates shared what's new in PBI, and Cristian Angyal showed how #PowerQuery Custom Functions can reduce repetitive steps, improve maintainability and reusability.
Yes, 1000 times yes.
It's not every day you have a call with three gold medalists. Another massive congratulations to Ivanie Blondin, Valérie Maltais, and Isabelle Weidemann on your back to back gold medals. 🥇🇨🇦
New blog post: It's been a while since I have run into a good head-scratcher of a Dynamics GP issue. Sure enough, this one fit the bill! 😀
It's all about the Payables Transaction Inquiry window showing $0 in the amount fields. hashtag#MSDYNGP

AI; didn't read.
International Woman's Day IWD is here again. Instead of lunches telling me to lead from the heart, topics like:
- How to pay women what they are worth
- How to recognise the contributions of women in the workforce
- How everyone can organise events, catering & take meeting minutes
LMFAO
I’ve been having fun the last couple of days playing with the #BookSearch plugin for #Obsidian and getting some of my reading catalogued.
Currently reading, on hold at the library, future reads and reading history since Jan 2025 in there already.
Fun stuff, and so easy!
From morning after Canada’s second deadliest school shooting on record. Almost as if reputable outlets take time to verify facts, or – just maybe – gender identity isn’t the most pressing issue when six children and two adults have been murdered.
Tumbler Ridge shooting victims, per RCMP:
• 39-year-old female teacher
• three 12-year-old female students
• two male students, 12 and 13
• 39-year-old mother of suspect
• 11-year-old step brother of suspect
Suspect Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, also deceased, bringing death toll to nine.
Following yesterday’s tragic shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., I have asked that Canada’s flag atop the Peace Tower, and across all government buildings, be flown at half-mast for the next seven days as our nation mourns with the community.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
I’ve got 6 Canadian channels all broadcasting the Olympics. Every damn channel is showing the same thing.
Make it make sense.
Why have multiple Sportsnet and multiple TSN channels and all show the same content?

I’ll be staying inside until Mother Nature comes to her senses. 🤦♀️
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
