Feel kinda dense for not realizing the wide lower border of Polaroid photos was function, not form: http://goo.gl/0pgCB

@alexmolotkow Curses, Trashmen! It was all those mow-mows that got me.

@alexmolotkow I listened to the track I was thinking of (http://youtu.be/_Fu-JRlHOio) and I take it back.

@alexmolotkow Mingus. But don't know the title.

Is this a thing now? Spotted my first Toronto taxi sporting NY-style roof advertising: http://twitpic.com/4zdmnn

@walrusmagazine Martha Gee, "The Peanut Duck": http://youtu.be/8ASWSQPE250 — goofy waterproof fun.

@joyce_byrne Four boxes of @EighteenBridges just showed up at our office... (PS - am I RSVP'd for the party?)

@serial_consign It's like "I love city living, except that I wish it was way more like Flin Flon."

@jm_mcgrath Blerg. Typo!

Problematic development aside, this is an attitude that irrationally irks me every time: http://goo.gl/FXB1C (cc @jm_mccrath)

@catesimpson I don't think that was the case, sadly. But now I've installed it myself!

Boo RT @mcpalassio: Just got laptop & bag stolen from L'Espresso, Bloor & St. George. FWIW, pls RT. Black & grey New Balance bag, MacBookPro

@emmamwoolley It's all "are social services important" and I'm all "yeah, but most should be provincial" and it's all "ERROR"

I will not validate the Fords' slash-and-burn budgeting by filling out this hideously misdesigned survey: http://goo.gl/nGpxe

Essay by Roseanne Barr on 'Roseanne' is pretty great, plus amazing portrait: http://goo.gl/lpCF1 (via @griffithgreene)

@serial_consign Seal Team 6: A ragtag bunch of actual seals use their circus training to become blubbery, lovable killing machines.

@typeter Indeed. Break a leg, internship-wise!

@typeter Is it possible for you to learn more about Saint John? Your knowledge of it struck me as...comprehensive.

@emmamwoolley Walking last night I was passed by a hummer blaring "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" and I laughed and laughed.

@navalang I don't know if it's *the* slogan, but it's the biggest phrase on the homepage of newt.org.

For some reason, Newt Gingrich's 2012 slogan — "Together we will win the future" — strikes me as hilarious.

@navalang I like the Google ad that gets slotted into that loneliness feature: http://twitpic.com/4wdz35

@shawnmicallef (Sorry, I know pointing out typos on Twitter is lame/passé. But I particularly liked that one.)

@shawnmicallef Teutonic plates! Like: http://goo.gl/f1I8W ?

@jengerson @journo_dale Well, things are getting tetchy out here in Buffy-metaphors-for-doctor-waiting-rooms territory...

@journo_dale Oh, I caught the Buffy reference, believe me! Perhaps it was better compared to the nothing-but-shrimp dimension?

@journo_dale (delayed reaction) It wasn't hellish, more purgatorial. The evil of banality.

@balkissoon @robsonian @chantalbraganza Wore my grandfather's ridiculous big-ass Ray-Bans for years. Was very sad to lose them.

@balkissoon Pssht. Go big on the aviators. No point in dainty ones.

Physicists should study how time flows completely differently in doctors' office waiting rooms.

It's narrated by an actor from CSI, and is available in full on soon-to-be-shuttered Google Video. Bizarre. http://goo.gl/mgCaf

Hey, remember when Kids In The Hall's Scott Thompson wrote a documentary about Saddam Hussein? Because that happened: http://goo.gl/WXKAq

@balkissoon Some of us (ahem) don't tan, summer or otherwise. My options are "pale" or "cancerous"...

I think @ethnicaisle is a great idea: http://goo.gl/rsJdf (he said, pastily)

@timfalconer Substituting "passed away" for "died" drives me nuts.

@UnionSt ...If only I could get 38,000 hits for something I gave a shit about.

@UnionSt I got boing-boinged!

Once again I will shove Laurie Anderson's "Homeland" at you. http://goo.gl/WN11k Perfect for days you want to feel pleasantly melancholy.

@briandstdenis Truly, today I experienced internet transcendence — put out my hand, and touched the face of Ceiling Cat.

Predictable, inevitable meme mush-up, or sly anti-war comment? I photoshop, YOU DECIDE: http://twitpic.com/4sidks

@Robsonian Well, I already had Photoshop open...

@emmamwoolley What's the emoticon for "punch in the face"?

@xenijardin Et voilà: http://twitpic.com/4sidks

@balkissoon Going to Fox & Fiddle on Bloor to watch with a bunch of U of T poli-sci grad students. Feel like I need a crowd for this one.

Mr. Hooper this ain't: http://twitpic.com/4sgwox

...As in, "the results in Toronto Centre are not 18% through 45%, nor 47% through 86%. Wonder what number it could be?"

Does the wording of Section 329 mean that it would be OK to tweet a series of explicitly incorrect polling results? http://goo.gl/VFqcq

@dropthefish I take my self-absorption *very* seriously...

@dropthefish It's hardly an exhaustive list! Also: all people met in person (I included ultra-nerdy XFN tags)

@meganmcchesney Hey, my pleasure!

@kattancock It was a curtain of rain moving east. Worst is over. http://goo.gl/TRWN3

@mikeminer @ivortossell The "JesusPhone" moniker appears to have been more accurate than we knew.

@ivortossell "It's not tracking you, It just always knows exactly where you are."

@maxvaliquette No, you get bonus points.

(Stones, glass houses, etc: obviously, as a Mac person, I include myself in that slur—deservedly.)

Infograph proves 100% of people who define their personality by their computer brand are douchebags: http://goo.gl/hE8lq

@ACCheng here's that Russian art prize story: m.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr…

@cardCK Ha, forgot I did that.

@ivortossell a) you tweeted the photo; b) senate abolition is a dipper plank from prehistory.

@ivortossell Why are you sitting at the back like a delinquent?

@thespivey Ha! That's mean. And kind of funny. But I have no siblings to keep my delusions of grandeur in check.

@shawnmicallef My question exactly. But round number was just a coincidence.

@shawnmicallef Thanks! (Though Saturday is the actual day, pre-wishes, like advance polls, are welcome innovations)

@thespivey Nice! (My tweet was equal parts narcissism, self-deprecation, and genuine curiosity.)

Hm, I just crested 800 followers. Who are you people? Why are you doing this to yourself?

@briandstdenis @lisanjutras Why feel bad? HIV meds don't get an automatic pass on sexist advertising.

@lisanjutras Touché, and a bonus point for you.

The notion of lady doctors apparently remains foreign to the makers of Prezista®: http://twitpic.com/4nopby

@joyce_byrne @briandstdenis Ask @canadianmags: people LOVE chickens on covers. Always huge sellers. Fact.

@joyce_byrne They have similar aesthetics but vastly different moods and goals. I love 'em both!

@briandstdenis @joyce_byrne Yes! Derivative is the new original.

@briandstdenis Yeah, although that chicken cover looks familiar...: http://goo.gl/PWsbR vs. http://goo.gl/x0pnd ?

If you're the kind of person who likes source-loling, see the new TorontoSun.com. What's up with that? Why is it 9,000 lines of markup?

@LukewSavage Indeed, though "populist" and "neoliberal" are hardly synonymous. (But the first is often fig leaf for the latter.)

Though amusing to poke fun at Sun News on, like, hour one, snark is irrelevant. Wait 6 months: what are they doing then— and who's watching?

@idontlikemunday Saucy.

Also, I don't think this means quite what #SunTV intended it to mean: http://twitpic.com/4ml8ch

Gosh, I can only pick ONE? http://twitpic.com/4ml4x3 (note bonus misspelling!)

Re: destroying art: found a dimly recalled Suck.com essay on assassination/destruction as "perverse sign of legitimacy." http://goo.gl/LLugY

Like, what's the mindset? "Hooray, we destroyed one copy of an endlessly reproducible image we don't like."

I know it's symbolic, but "destroying" photographic artwork seems almost touching in its naïveté: http://goo.gl/5EbC4 (via @jordanclaire)

On that note: if I owe you an email, expect it soon. Exciting but time-sucky May-June issue closed yesterday. Catchup begins.

CSME refers to me as a "master of productivity," which may surprise hundreds of people to whom I owe emails: http://goo.gl/m3S1V

@lisanjutras Also, the hed on that NYMag piece obviously should have been: "Toast: so hot right now"

@goldsbie Judges also enter scores through the same system. All the data is in one pile.

Mags upload PDFs > judges enter scores online > CMS computes top 10 in each category for bilingual judges > list auto-publishes > madness

@goldsbie The entries are uploaded to the site by the entrants themselves.

@chantalbraganza I like that Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey have kind of the same hairdo in that scene.

Tripped another Twitter bot landmine: @OccamRazorBot. Could we somehow trick two bots into eternally retweeting one another?

Anyway, enough. List is out, looks somewhat legit, it happened. Spoilers blow, but we'll live. I go back to regularly scheduled nontweeting.

NMA judging process is well-known: First panel of judges score, then bilingual panel scores. Bet you 2nd panel gets 3-ish weeks...

@TaddleCreek "Inside job" in the sense of someone mistakenly pressed the "publish" button instead of "save as draft" in the CMS.

Occam's razor: a non-final list was posted by mistake. Nomination landscape looks about right; Shit happens. No malice here.

Now that #NMAfail screenshots are out, "counterfeit" concept is obviously bunk. Prankster would have to know *all entries* to fake a list.

@arjunbasu You can thank (or not!) @griffithgreene for the hashtag, she used it first that I saw...
