Why yes I did just try to use the Eraser Tool in Clip Studio Paint top try and erase a spec of dust sitting on my monitor, in case you're wondering how my day is going. 🤦🏽‍♂️

You can use the Paprika app to grab NYT recipes from behind the firewall if you’re not logged in. Just saying.

I thought his nanny gave that to him for finally learning how to tie his shoe laces after 55 years...

There needs to be a Charles Sun Baking Cookbook. The final recipe will of course, be Churros! I loved the series. Someone at Netflix needs a snack upside the head for cancelling it.

I think the biggest missed opportunity of the British Election was that no one with the surname 'Lettuce' was available to run against Liz Truss in her own riding.

So that wanker Farage finally won a seat, after losing like, eight times in a row? Please tell me he gets an office right next to the men's bathrooms.

I bet if mobile phone company had to pay users $5 for every roboscammer that calls them, they'd find a way to block phone spoofers in days. Why yes, I'm on nine days in a row of "An iPhone 13 was charged to your Amazon account. Press 1 to approve this charge..." voicemails, why do you ask?

You have no what you’re missing out on… CRTC regulations required that Arnold be dubbed with a Canadian accent. “Like, come with me if you want to live, eh?” “Talk to da hand, hoser!” He also apologizes every time he shoots someone.

Spending Canada Day weekend coming down with Covid was not on my bingo card. We're feeling like crap, but still going. Not as bad as the first time, but still worse than a cold.

I would have never thought of 'ribbeting' back at the kid... but I absolutely would have laughed and smiled if they pointed at me and said, "You're a frog now!" There's a world of difference between a disruptive kid running amok... and a child being a child.

Someone posted (somewhere) a way to save an existing clip studio page set up as a preset - where you could load up the page and just hit an option somewhere that would then save the page’s settings as a preset for any new pages - does ANYONE remember how??? (HELP!)

Finished watching Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. Absolutely fantastic. Really hope there’s a second season (and more). Also, The Brothers Sun is a blast!

It's been a while since I fired up my Kindle, but the Libby app is now on the Amazon store, so you can download library ebooks and audio books without side-loadinging the app.

Heads up! Zenith Literary doesn’t exist. This is a fake agency and they don’t represent any of the books displayed on their home page. These are fucking predators.

3rd robo-telescammer call of the day already. I'm anti-death penalty, but for tele-scammers... I think we need something that would make Jigsaw blanch and ask if we're going too far. WTF did telecoms make it so ridiculously easy to spoof phone numbers?

It's time for Canada to build a wall along the US border. Fortunately manure can be used to make cement, so Conservative election promises will provide enough raw material to build a wall that can be seen... from other planets.

Wee need judges to start bitch-slapping people who use the "it's on the internet so it's public domain" defence with the maximum civil penalties under the law, instead of the bare minimum. These AI companies would be wiped out if they had to pay $250K for each and every piece of © art they scraped.

They've tried that multiple times in Vancouver BC, and it's never worked. It does do a great job of making the cops and city workers involved look like absolute monsters, along with the mayor who sipped coffee while watching it unfold.

So lyrics used to be unlimited for free users on Spotify - and now free users can only view the lyrics to songs 5 times a month on Spotify? I've never used Spotify before, and with this ableist bullshit, Spotify can go tongue-fuck an extra large bag of used butt plugs.

The only way I'd watch the debate tonight is if they refer to him as "the Convicted Felon" every time they ask convicted felon Donald Trump a question.

I think you misspelled "Serial Killer." Jessica Fletcher left more dead bodies in her wake than all of the F13, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream movies combined.
