I finally got fed-up with how fast my hot cocoa would cool off while sitting at my desk. I got a new insulated mug today. I also got a new pair of scalded lips today.

I got the mug from a Goodwill store, so I think my scalded lips are about 5% government-funded. #fulldisclosure

I am proud of our @CBC as a voice for diversity across Canada. To me "government-funded" is a positive thing with public oversight, and much preferred over private interests and not-so-hidden agendas controlling the conversation.

I wish I was a millionaire so my behavior would be "eccentric" instead of "dysfunctional."

What if... now hear me out... what if the USA started one big GoFundMe to cover EVERYONE's medical expenses but each person only needs to donate once a year. And maybe... now stick with me on this... maybe those who have more wealth could make a proportionately larger donation?

I'm in a hotel with kitchenette. I got the bread n' ched for grilled cheese sandies, but neglected to get butter. Warm cheese on dry toast just isn't cutting it. And yes, of course I tried cutting on the diagonal but not even the diagonal cut could rectify it! Nor trianglify it!

President Joe Biden talked to this turkey longer than he talked to Pierre Poilievre.

Older folks don't realize how good they had it when they were ONLY 'a day late and a dollar short.'

I don't know when "International Procrastination Day" is, but I'm going to plan ahead and start procrastinating NOW so I can relax later.

It is extremely unprofessional to use Comic Sans font in business communication. You should be using Comic Serif.

The AI generated version of "Dogs Playing Poker" looks more like "Sad Dogs Finding No Snacks Left Behind After Poker Game."

Blessed be they who have but one good idea. For those unburdened by a plentitude of possibilities walk swiftly and with great confidence.

Maybe corporate CEO's wouldn't have to raise prices to earn record profits if they just gave up avocado toast. 🤷‍♂️

The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The second best time was 29 years, 364 days, 23 hours, and 55 minutes ago. Assuming it takes 5 minutes to stick a sapling in the ground, NOW is actually the 3,153,600th best time.

Today is Boxing Day! One of the 239 biggest sales of the year!!! I haven't seen prices this good since the "Ash Wednesday Eve" clearance sale.

If you're trying out some more flavourful beers this holiday season, don't forget to pair them with other interesting tastes, such as dried fruit. I guess what I'm trying to say is... remember the raisin for the saison.

In light of rising costs for food, the "10 second rule" shall henceforth be "the 12 second rule."
