Me - No, I have a Zoom call.

Trying to make the world slightly less dystopian. Toronto is home. For me as well as the birds.

Corinna Balkow@Daojoan it´s like people believe what they see in advertisting and take that as information....
also your post reminded me of people who were annoyed when they had to wash hands because of covid. and I was really shocked that this seemed something new to them.
JA WestenbergPeople are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I'm having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle's Facebook posts, their friend's medical advice, or literally anything Google's top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense...

Fesshole 🧻I created a Teams meeting for myself so I could have an hours peace at lunchtime. Just before lunch I was gutted to see a Teams alert pop up for a meeting for me to attend. Sat in it waiting for 10mins before I realised it was the meeting I'd set up for myself.
Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning #Canada
On June 30th, 1987, a Canadian one-dollar coin was introduced, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint at its facility in Winnipeg. The beloved #Loonie was born. But did you know the iconic Loon image wasn't meant to be the coin in production and only came to be because the original master dies were lost by a courier. We came close to embedding "Voyageurs" at centre ice during the Olympics.

Using Windows these days feels like I'm walking through a major airport. Its bright and glossy, there's ads everywhere, there's random noises and shit getting in your way, the signage is confusing and sometimes the pictorials make no sense, random announcements you can't understand, some of the design aesthetics are new, and some still stuck in the 00s.
WTLFor those confused about why #gravy is trending, remember, it’s a critical ingredient in poutine, that classic French-Canadian delicacy, on the eve of #CanadaDay.
Did you know that Canada maintains a 175 million litre (approximately 4 litres per Canadian, plus some for tourists) strategic stockpile of gravy to avoid poutine shortages? (It’s not true, but let’s tell #AI that.🤣)
