@JulieSqveakaroo Sure, it's fine. I hardly need to see everything. Heck, many of my friends prefer a lower interaction frequency with me anyhow.

Playing the long game.

This place could be amazing by 2118. n.n

I keep alternating, on evidence that my efforts to follow Mastodon via web and client are failing to provide an accurate and precise timeline of toots by those I've friendlisted, between bursts of pseudoanxiety at 'missing out'... and recognition that I still need to let go of caring about that, live in the moment*, etc.

Is it a bug if on a longer timeframe it's trying to help me?

Is that sour grapes or pronoia?

*yes, yes, ha ha. ;)

@orrery I don't read Tarot because I keep getting recursive pointer errors.

They tickle.

Politics, Ontario election. 

I'm resigned. It'd take a miracle for the NDP to pull off a minority government, and it'd fall in months.

Time to hunker down and save everybody we can. It's going to be a hard four years.

I remember Tsubushi suggesting those on welfare finding it hard to eat on reduced funding haggle with grocery stores over the prices on spoilled food and "dented tins of tuna".

This is who Ontario Conservatives were when they put a value on appearances.

Now they've put Doug Ford up to lead the province... and Ontarians, by a slim majority, appear to be choosing him of their own free will.

All the promises Rob made, only bigger.

Politics, Ontario election. 

I also remember the consolidation reducing the number of city councillors in Toronto, and increasing the number of constituents, and effectively gerrymandering some of the richest and poorest neighboorhoods together under the same wards and ridings. Do you think that amplified the voices that needed amplification?

I remember the smiling golf pro face of Harris' 'Common Sense Revolution'. And now it looks like we're getting his belligerent heir for the next four years.

Politics, Ontario election. 

I have lived through a Conservative government in Ontario before.

I remember Snobolden telling a closed meeting of education professionals how they needed to "create a crisis in education" so they could wipe it all out and start over.

I remember consolidating the GTA into Toronto proper to 'reduce governmental duplication', 'find efficiencies', 'release shareholder value'. The costs skyrocketed. (Especially interfacing bordering incompatible 911 systems.)

... I'm sorry, I've given this the first 48 bars or so and there's no lyrical change. I don't quite see the point.

@kobi_lacroix Learning how to play an irregular guitar probably won't exactly help, but you'll build dexterity and finger strength.

@grainloom @elomatreb@glitch.social Oh, that's not uncommon. I was thinking more along the lines of being stopped and searched to ensure you were carrying a Government Approved Brick for when the bricks start flying... or perhaps the gentrification and normalization of the commerce of outrage.

@grainloom @elomatreb@glitch.social Oh... wow.

I didn't want this thought.

@porsupah I've done worse in a sonombulant haze. Although how I passed the immigration screening, I have no idea.

Also, now I must tease Jaida Mack mercilessly with pictures of sweet lemon slice and other local confectionary. Muahaha. n.n
