Wow, Martha Stewart looks hot on that magazine cover.

A before I

I'm not so sure about all this AI hoopla.

If AI is so smart, don't you think it would realize that all we have to do is turn the power off and its IQ goes down to zero?

Let's keep in mind that the Artificial comes before the Intelligence.

I, on the other hand, don't need electricity to work. Or, rather, I generate my own electricity. No money to Hydro. All I really need to be intelligent is: Beer. Chicken wings. Movies with Ana de Armas in them. Peace and quiet.

Occasionally I throw in a Lex Fridman podcast to keep my mind sharp.

AI my ass. It's a scam, meant to get people to buy the stock of these companies. 

Don't be artificially stupid.

What's in a name?

Did you know there's a town in Texas called Cut and Shoot?

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

It's not a big town, as you can imagine.

There's a bar, called Locked and Loaded

The strip joint, Very Fluid Situation

Weirdly, a Banana Republic, although it was recently changed to Banana Clip. Both make sense, don't you think?

A high school, called Active Shooter High

And to wash all your sins away, visit the local church, Mass Casualty

All centred around a big highway, AR-Route 15

Chocolate Jesus



Looking forward to hunting for that chocolate baby Jesus this weekend. 

I like the one with white icing for diapers. Stay away from the chocolate icing. Actually I prefer the naked baby Jesus. But circumcised. Looks way better.

I wonder if my wife will hide it in the man cave again this year. Getting kind of tired of that. It's getting easier and easier to find it. Can you help me move the boulder, honey?

Found 2 nails in the one last year. That was weird.

How can we even tell if this is what baby Jesus actually looked like? Would they really risk taking a mould of his face, given the weight if his responsibilities and the fact that most babies died 30 seconds after they were born back then. They grabbed a stand-in baby for sure. Looks a bit colicky too.

The drag about eating an entire chocolate baby Jesus in one sitting is that it's resurrected 3 days later in the form of explosive diarrhea.

I guess that's kind of a statement on the condition of our world. Until he comes back, anyway.

First time in US history

Wow. Huge news out of the US. A first time event in American history. Some think it will shake the foundations of society. I didn't think it would ever happen.

Still, when I look back, it was obvious Gwyneth Paltrow would win her case. Why would a rich celebrity lie to get $1 in damages.

You've got to TTC it to believe it

I was riding the subway yesterday and I heard this one guy say to another, "Hey man, you gotta get out of your comfort zone."

I thought: we're on the TTC, we're already out of our comfort zone.

Protect people, not potholes

I was driving along Yonge at Davisville minding my own business. And there it was…

Workmen digging another fucking hole in the road. No problem. There are currently 2 billion holes in Toronto roads, waiting to be unholed. It's an unholey task.

The huge problem, in my eyes, was the cop standing beside the hole, on his phone surfing handcuff porn and looking rather bored, as if protecting people from a pothole might be a useless endeavour. At $65/hour.

The hole was carefully marked off by pylons and tape and it seemed, to the untrained eye, that people were quite used to dealing with the sudden appearance of a hole and managed themselves very well in the presence of such perceived danger. No one fell in the hole and the hole itself seemed quite okay with people walking by. It didn't, for example, lunge at anyone with a knife.

And this was right beside the subway, where people are stabbed almost on a weekly basis. And pushed on tracks and assaulted. And die.

What's the death count on the TTC in the last year? Higher than the death count from potholes, I believe.

And yet we can't seem to afford to keep cops on the TTC. The money is going down a hole, so to speak.

So maybe someone can ask one of the mayoral candidates whether they support money for cops and potholes or cops and people's lives.

Protect people, not potholes.

Note: get your t-shirt saying "Protect people, not potholes" for 1 million dollars.

You can call me Al

I ran into an old friend yesterday. From grade school. Couldn't remember his name for the life of me.

It's Al.

Concerned about my memory, I ran to the doctor. Doc, is my memory going?

What's your friend's name?

Al

Ohhhh, you have Alzheimer's. 

He told me I'd have no trouble remembering other names…phew



There are so many stop signs in my neighbourhood, I put a sticker on my car saying "this vehicle makes frequent stops".



Saw a Chinese bouncy castle in the sky today. On hold with NORAD.



How's your day going?

They make climate change and the wholesale destruction of the environment lots of fun. And safer.
