I just heard my roommate mixing some beats except I don't have a roommate and it was my cat throwing up.

Hmm. What in the world could have happened in 2020 and 2021?

Road and highway closures, December 24th (morning) - Southern Ontario.

Look at 401 closed from near Oshawa to Brockville! Also, pretty much all of Bruce County and all of Prince Edward County.

Emergency responders are overwhelmed in these conditions. Please delay travel until conditions improve and stay safe.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, the police said,
You're clearly alive, Mr Power,
Whose heart was it?

I think someone somewhere wants to wish me a happy first Christmas back home in Sweden. These are all unedited straight from my phone. #northernlights #auroraborealis #norrsken

Merry Christmas

Know your shit (as opposed to know you're shit 🤣 ) :

I believe in a livable wage for everyone. It baffles me business owners argue with me, and I’ve had many do so, that paying their staff a higher wage will destroy their business. They are always white dudes who fancy themselves clever businessmen.

Until I hit them with, “wait, are you saying you didn’t budget for employee wages that afford them the basics of life? Surely you budgeted for that, right, Jimothy? I thought you understood business?”

It’s a blow to the fragile biz man fee fees.

Have the optimism of my 5yo firmly and sincerely stating she'll be sufficiently quiet to let my wife nap while holding a pair of drumsticks.

A quick history lesson illustrating just how far detached from reality & humanity Taliban terrorists really are:
•In 610 Prophet Muhammad (sa) declared “Education is obligatory for every Muslim male & female.”
•In 859 Princess Fatima al-Fihri founded al-Qarawiyyin, the world's oldest existing university.
•In 2022 after promising to protect women’s rights, Taliban terrorists ban women from education.
See the problem? Taliban are enemies of humanity. May their reign of terror come to a swift end.

It's day 7 of me and some other journalists being suspended on Twitter because we reported factual public information that Twitter's "free speech absolutist" owner didn't like.

Weird how it keeps happening in spite of us. It's almost like we actually have nothing to do with it.

"Are you having a productive afternoon?"
"Yes, I think so."

Just a PSA this holiday season. Turn signals do actually work in busy parking lots too.

Hi there! I'm God.
WELCOME TO MASTODON!
Fascists got you down? Well they're not welcome here.
The motto 'round these parts is "be excellent to each other."
There's no algorithm.
We've got weed. Well, I've got weed.
Follow and talk to everyone but especially Me. Cuz I'm God.
See you around!
