@thewebrecluse @Shelter he's .. disjointed/eccentric/a bit menacing in the blade runners

@Bukowskiwithacamera I've been reading a bit about him and, if I'm being like super cynical, he sounds like the US version of the two Canadian Michaels. Like, everyone SAYS they aren't spooks, but if they also said they were I'd be like "hmm.. yeah, no that tracks".

@kenc313 my dad always says “getting old is shit, but the alternative is worse”.

@kenc313 threw my back out. By sneezing. While in bed. Hurt for weeks.

@Jeber nope. It’s for COP15. We’ve got local, Longueuil, Laval, SQ and RCMP.

Downtown is like a cop convention.

This is just maddening. I can't imagine a single other Montreal department just saying "whoopsies, we went over budget by $55 million.. tee hee" and getting away with it https://cultmtl.com/2022/12/the-city-of-montreal-is-overfunding-the-police-and-the-spvm-still-goes-over-budget/

Holy shit. https://noraloreto.substack.com/p/how-many-people-died-in-institutions

@Shelter @frankp a buddy was using wayfair here in Canada to furnish his place. Ordered some stuff that didn't work, tried to return it. They just refunded but didn't want it back. He sold the stuff on marketplace.

I've been thinking about the gear that protesters now routinely pack and how the main reason is tear gas... https://ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/sites/default/files/media/Legality%20of%20Teargas%20-%20Aug25%20V2.pdf

"How's your day going Cameron?" you ask. Well I just smashed my head off my office wall while plugging in a cable into the back of my computer. So, erm, about fucking normal really.

@Shelter Like I don't care for Biden (just like I don't care for Trudeau) because they're both centrist/center-right disappointments, but anyone who got her home did a good thing.

@Desmblake that was glorious.

@lizswick I guess the reply to that (though I largely agree with you) is "when will the WNBA" give the same percentage of profits deal to their players that the NBA does? Because until that happens WNBA players are going to be playing overseas wherever there is money.

@chromogirl I'm in a facebook group for our postal code here in Montreal. For a little while it was basically horror upon horror and lame polls and bullshit. Lately it's calmed down to "hey do any of you know a good plumber" or "I have 10 of thing X does anyone want them? ".

@chromogirl bugger. I was hoping it was like when I would get in a fight with a fash or transphobe (same thing I guess) on twitter; I noticed they tended to get so wrapped up with arguing with me that they'd leave everyone else alone for a bit. The people in your neighbourhood can multitask in their awfulness I guess.. that sucks.

@chromogirl If they're yelling about the turkey they're leaving local bipoc folks alone ?
