The pub where I run trivia night makes the worst AI flyers. I assume that bald right-wing podcaster looking dude is supposed to be me.

An ad for my local Trivia Night. It includes a picture of a bald, goateed dude wearing headphones for some reason, who is definitely not me. Also the usual poorly rendered AI slop of money, food, and drinks.

I don't think I've ever had an easier time choosing a side in a World Cup game as a neutral than Colombia v Portugal. I visited Medellin a couple years ago, and I really hate Ronaldo.

Hard to get a decent pic, but there are a couple of seals hanging out in the St. Croix River.

Was given these beautiful chef's knives for Father's Day. Now to figure out which one should be used for which specific jobs.

Proud to win silver in the Climate Action Reporting category at the Atlantic Journalism Awards in Halifax tonight, for a story in the Atlantic Salmon Journal. And congratulations to @cloelogan.bsky.social and @nationalobserver.com for winning Gold!

A little dribbler, but it's still an Ern Dog hit. #BlueJays

I'm out here catching strays as I scroll BlueSky. "If you want to be a writer, put on a cool hat and go sit in a bar with cheap beer."

Me sitting under a red patio umbrella on the terrace of a tapas bar in Montreal, wearing my new, and debatably cool, Panama hat, with a glass of not particularly cheap beer.

Accidentally wandered into what I gathered was a francophone music street festival in Montreal tonight on the way back to my hotel. Caught a show by St Graal, which had a pretty good crowd considering the weather is shit.

My mom is texting me photos from the pride parade in my hometown and it is very cute. They've gone all in on having a trans grandkid.

In honour of the World Cup, I present my favourite example of FIFA brand protection...this censored ketchup at the concession stand at the 2014 U20 Women's World Cup in Moncton, because Heinz was not an official sponsor.
