Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

The cover art of Great Big Sea's 1997 album "Play," which depicts a plastic toy figurine of a young man with an accordion against a yellow background.

With how #AI has come to be used and viewed these days, this might go down as the greatest achievement in the history of the field, and stunningly, it happened more than 15 years ago. #Watson #Jeopardy

A Canadian travelling without a bottle opener will inevitably find a substitute in a pinch, such as a hotel bathroom door strike plate. Cheers! 🍻

Ever get that feeling like you're being watched? Meh, I'm just going to enjoy the opulence of this hotel lobby. #AC2026 Photo by Snep #FursuitFriday

So I was introduced to this guy at AC this weekend, thanks to @cloverpuff.bsky.social. He spends all day sitting quietly in parliament, but at night he's a real hoot at parties. ;)

On my way to ORD after an awesome weekend at #WCPC26, and of course I get treated to a view of a place I know very well. All I can say is see you in six months, #MFF26.

So, who thinks I can grab a pint here? ☘️🍻

To be totally blunt, I'm puzzled as to why I've never seen this exact reaction when furries at #FWA are eating at Chick-fil-A. #TheFarSide #GaryLarson

My latest #MyLittlePony collectible, The Treasure of Friendship figurine by Kayou. Some incredible MLP merch has been released in China over the past two years, and interestingly enough, nearly all of it from G4.

First game of the 2026 season for me. It's a long way to go, but we've got #unfinishedbusiness this year. #GoJays

A dinner and show at Medieval Times is a great way to start a convention weekend. :)

Each time I wash my sheets I need to remove and then rearrange all the plushies that live on or around my bed. This might take a while... :p

Just acquired a Milano Cortina 2026 lanyard to keep my Olympic lanyard collection going steady, and before the games are even over. No Olympiads missed since Athens. :)

Just finished watching the entire series of #MermicornoStarfall. Beautifully animated with wonderfully endearing characters interwoven with action-packed adventures that test true friendship. #SimoneLegno #SheaFontana and their team really made something special, and I hope we'll see them again.

To me there will always be something magical about spending Christmas by the sea.

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays, especially when it's the first time in nine years.

I'll always be fascinated by the fact that snow flakes are still a universal symbol of the Christmas season in parts of the world where it never snows.

This is as far as most Jays fans will get when attempting to purchase World Series tickets without a third party bot or corporate backing. #Ticketmaster doesn't even have the computing power to say how far you are from missing the purchase queue.

The most likely suspects in the #Louvre robbery, based on the stunning daylight brazenness of the crime. Although they might have been accompanied by a small pink alien or a guy in a cheap rat suit...

Double Trouble, party animals and career criminals from "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"

Going to the theatre tonight. Been wanting to see this show since I missed out on its initial run in Charlottetown. :) #TelltaleHarbour #AlanDoyle

It's Raccoon Appreciation Day today, so please take a moment to recognize that we are a valued part of your ecosystem and not simply an urban nuisance. ;)

"Using only images, explain how you became a furry." Yes, even art from 1901 has the power to make you furry today. ;)

Wishing a happy retirement to my Skechers ArchFits. In just over two years, these shoes have seen four Disney parks, three Universal parks, seven furry cons, eight countries and the stage of a famous tv show. The number of kilometers walked and the memories? Immeasurable.

Apparently there's a brand of oat milk out there that ruins the magic. :p

Good Idea: Visiting the Eiffel Tower while in Paris. Bad Idea: Taking the stairs. >.<

Wrapping up my visit to #Calfurry2025 with the menial thrill of washing my new jersey. :p It was a fantastic weekend and the staff deserve all the praise for bringing such a great new convention to the furry fandom. Looking forward to next year already!
