@jbcurio.bsky.socialYou know, you can see which country these cannons are pointed towards… (Fort Malden, Amherstburg)

@jbcurio.bsky.socialAlso a note to Microsoft: if you are aware than my old backup computer does not have the means to switch from Windows 10 to 11...why do keep reminding me to upgrade?
@jbcurio.bsky.socialI have an ancient version of Acrobat Pro on my old backup computer that works so much better - and is way less annoying because it doesn't try to hurl AI crap at me - than the current version I pay for on my main system (and will also certainly ditch come renewal time).

@jbcurio.bsky.socialReposted by @jbcurio.bsky.socialDid you know that election night - municipal, provincial, or federal - used to be party night for the entire family in Toronto?
Join me on October 22 at Mackenzie House Museum, where we'll look at how Torontonians celebrated casting their ballots! #TOpoli
@jbcurio.bsky.socialA good read showing how when arts, culture, and government agencies are appreciated and funded, things can be good.

@jbcurio.bsky.socialAlso not regretting leaving. Which has also made it easier to leave/reduce usage of other platforms. I don’t need to make my world uglier by choice.
@graphicmatt.comReposted by @jbcurio.bsky.socialUpdated the City Council Endorsement Matrix with today’s slate of endorsed candidates from ABC Toronto. A bit strange that an org calling for a better city is endorsing so many longtime incumbents, I got to say.
@jbcurio.bsky.socialSide research find: during election campaigns of any kind, maybe we need to bring back beer and pretzels with the candidates nights, such as this one for Windsor-area Liberal hopefuls during the 1971 Ontario provincial election.

@jbcurio.bsky.socialHistorically, the Quebec City area and the Beauce were the strongholds federally of Social Credit/Ralliement créditiste in the 1960s, so there is precedent for a rightward tilt...
@jbcurio.bsky.socialA useful sticker for these times
