I learned ages ago to have little googly or cartoon eyes behind your webcam to improve eye contact during video meetings or recordings. Then I got this Ludicolo and realized he's a better option than those.

A small plastic Ludicolo figurine from the Pokemon franchise sitting behind a laptop screen with the webcam turned on and below a second monitor.

🧵 Some thoughts on a Saturday evening. About gratitude and luck and family. (Cat pic is from earlier this week - hello Yogi!!)

My black cat Yogi (hello Yogi!!) looking out the living room window on a sunny evening from atop his cat tree. The dappled light turns his coat brown. There's a globe and some boxes on the ledge in front of the window.

Mine has always been Reb Brown screaming in his golf cart from Space Mutiny.

Should've done this ages ago.

I am a smiling man.

It's oversold, it's losing staggering amounts of money, and the harms are arriving faster than the value. You've done the math on the unit economics and it doesn't close. You are loud about this, prolific about this, and you suspect history will vindicate you.

"That's what the taxes are for!!"

Don Draper from Mad Men saying "That's what the money is for." I think I got this from a YouTube thumbnail?

Okay, NOW the condo feels like a place I own. Finally graduated from Command Strips to nails for hanging things, in part because I have too many hats.

Almost 14 years since I moved from the suburbs into the Big Smoke, and now I find myself heading back there, possibly for good.

A timeline diagram hastily thrown together in PowerPoint. The title is "So Gabe, where do you live?" Poster's name is Gabe, so the diagram is his answers. The left portion of the timeline up to July 1 2012 is labeled "Toronto" with quotation marks, indicating he doesn't actually live in the city. Between July 1 2012 and tomorrow (March 25 2026), it's labeled Toronto without quotes, indicating actually in the city. After tomorrow, it's back to "Toronto" with quotes.

Glad to hear you're on the mend; you following along with issue 10 of SMAC? Kemical is eagerly waiting for your return to their vocal cords.

It's that kind of a #Caturday.

#Giveaway time! Now that the #NPB season is well underway, you may be thinking about taking a trip to Japan to watch a game. I've got two copies of my #JapanBall travel guide, 2026 edition, that I'd be happy to sign and send to the first two people who quote this with where they want to go.

My hand holding two copies of the JapanBall Travel Guide to Japanese Baseball (by me!) in paperback. Behind it are a hat rack of NPB caps and my old Blue Jays Ballpark Passes.

Happy to be the first customer of @soveryunofficial.bsky.social 's ACG Goods shop. Koopa Pete now graces the keyring of my condo keys; my sister's purse has the Kawakappa Bowl.

Took this myself during the Canada 150 celebrations at Ontario Place (RIP); it was after that heavy rainstorm and so much of the grounds were waterlogged.

The Ontario Place Cinesphere, a geodesic dome with an Omnimax cinema inside, surrounded by water and casting a reflection. The sky is blue, and there are trees flanking it.

Love the juxtaposition of these two posts 5 minutes apart. From "There's nothing boring about this" to "I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom." Okay, Gramps.

Two posts from @atrupar.com from President Trump's Iran War press conference, five minutes apart. The earlier one reads "We have right from the beginning projected 4 to 5 weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that. We'll do whatever. Somebody said 'the president will get bored.' I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this." The later one, again only five minutes later, shows that Trump has indeed gotten bored of talking about the Iran War: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom."

The only guy who's happy to wake up to this news.

A cartoon of an ancient man, looking vaguely like Jabba the Hutt, in a wheelchair with a tube running from his nose to an IV. The caption reads "Holden Bloodfeast (R) Iowa
- 118 years old
- please God just let us nuke Iran, nothing else matters, I'll do anything please I just want to see burning flesh one last time before I die
- Respectable bipartisan"

If you can't hear the #Pokemon TCG battle music, we can't be friends. Icon courtesy of @izzi8bit.bsky.social from her fundraiser for @xenosupial.bsky.social .

A fake screenshot of a battle introduction from Pokemon Trading Card Game on the Game Boy Color. A custom pixel portrait from @Izzi8Bit.bsky.social of me (!) overlaps the regular opponent portait, and the text has been replaced with "Some Schmucko: Gabe, Annoyance Deck."

Fun story for the alt text: I actually played an annoyance deck in Pokemon League at Sci-Fi World in Thornhill back when there were only three expansions. Stuff like Aerodactyl to stop evolutions, Muk to stop Pokemon Powers, Gust of Wind and Energy Removal to mess with the opposition.

Kinda fun to think that I'm the only person in the city, maybe the province, rocking a Kintetsu Buffaloes cap right now. Can't wait for the season.

All set for the new season to cheer on the #BlueJays! Or at least one of them.

A collection of memes arranged in four panels.
Top left: a person's head with red scribbles all over it; they say "I just need to subsidize demand"
Top right: a person laying in bed with a fatigued expression thinking "I just need to subsidize demand"
Bottom left: a cycle with arrows looping around "people get angry," "subsidize demand," and "home prices go up."
Bottom right: the "are ya winning son?" meme recaptioned as "Are u okay bro?" with the response "yes I just need to subsidize demand"

Last season, one of my fellow sleep-deprived #PacificLeague simulcasters said this as a game crept into the 9th inning tied. I said I was gonna immortalize it as a T-shirt. And now the PLTV English team will be getting these.
