Tasmanian single malt! So good!

Thrilling to see Canadians continue avoiding the US, but the idea it's the result of the 51st state threat and tariffs feels overstated. To me, the prospect of potentially encountering insane state-sponsored violence or border issues is much more of a deterrent! www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

He is simply not a serious man!

…good?

Yup, there’s no need to understand the job you have before you get the job. It’s just so hard to learn independently in this modern age where information is impossible to come by!!

That’s right, most people wait until they have a job to learn what it’s about and how to be good at it. Very much normal behaviour.

“You’re going to cover my ass for me in case I decide to run again, right?” (He won’t)

gotta say AI has been great for one thing which is convincing me to finally unsubscribe from all those longstanding mailing lists as soon as they start spamming me about their brand new AI features

No Councillor worth their salt would ever need to ask this question. Do your goddamn homework!

Heroic lifting by the passive voice there with “there was a decision.” It cannot be overstated how enormously disruptive (and of course, consultation-free) was the unilateral change made by the province around how school sites were selected and funded.

SCOOP: Bell Canada is planning to build an artificial intelligence data centre near Regina. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I haven’t paid attention in a minute but given the history of the RM of Sherwood, I am not at all surprised there are enough clout- and cash-chasing idiots out there to rubber stamp this entry into the phony-ass digital Ponzi scheme bubble-ass pipe dream that is AI. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

HOW ABOUT YOU GET FUCKED BELL CANADA AND EVERYONE ELSE GREEDY AND SHORT-SIGHTED ENOUGH TO ENDORSE THIS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why, when I sing along to “Idioteque,” do I ALWAYS do the ascending half of the chorus melody?

I put on my Dismemberment Plan mix for my 13 year-old and she was not totally psyched at first. “I feel like it’s going to give me a seizure.” Which I get! But I didn’t expect this would be the track that would bring her around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORh6...

Izzy hath used my deck of Edward Gorey’s ‘The Helpless Doorknob’ to compose a DEVASTATING short story.

Put these in for ten seconds and it was a better experience than any Bluetooth earbud I’ve ever tried. Cords are the way to go. Cords are the light.

I truly cannot express how little I want to see podcasts on Netflix. Please kindly take your de facto non-union talk shows and shove them. There might only be one and a half US network late night talk shows that are actually funny, but I'll take them over webcams of podcasts every time.

"Do you think Donald Trump gives a crap if Carney said ‘but I got elbows?’ Does anyone see anything more pathetic, more ridiculous and more embarrassing to the country of Canada?" Yup, I sure do, and it's pretty hard to miss. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Scoops of explanation. This sounds like a person who understands what news is and should run one of the biggest news organizations in the world. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

If someone in the senate has a good idea, it's ALWAYS Paula Simons. She rules.

@pauldechene.bsky.social @thepalinode.com This is the song I referred to on the show Thursday, my QCIBoys! Check out the whole album, there's zero chance you won't like. jessematheson.bandcamp.com/track/nothin...

Tomorrow on the Queen City Improvement Bureau: That look back at last year & predictions for this one thing. You know, like one does. Only this will be good b/c we have erstwhile city hall reporter & former man-on-the-inside, Pat Book as our guest. On CJTR at 7pm Thu. #yqrcc

Made an ambitious choice for my first read of 2026 and the unforgiving margins and near-endless sentence length is giving my heavy Bolaño vibes and I don’t know if it will end well.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

I truly don’t understand why I should care about a movie about a fame seeking capitalist ping pong player which includes one of the world’s biggest assholes (Dragon’s Den category) in its cast.

Merry Krampmus

Absolutely incredible stuff happening here.

This city is so fucking stupid sometimes.

The remake of ‘Marathon Man’ looks like it has some problems.

Mayor Chad's pitches for cuts! Just a real mixed bag. #YQRcc

You guys, Donald Trump is so funny. Only a person with a truly deep well of humour would approve of this.

GROSS

Disney adults are about to light the planet on fire for real.

Those poor 'Stranger Things' kids, they put so much work into that show for so long, only to have to be directed by Shawn Levy.

I also am not a fan of Paul Dano, but the real headline on that story should be that Tarantino thinks stringy beef is good. What?

Let’s go, you maniacs fuckedup.bandcamp.com/album/grass-...

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

Sask Party MLAs: "We represent the rural people of the province." Also Sask Party MLAs: "Where is my dang ivory silk pocket square?"

Why is this MLA dressed like a prosperity gospel preacher???

YIKES. FYI everyone.

City of Regina headline: "Agenda Packet for 2026/27 Budget Deliberations Now Available." City of Regina story? Does not link to or attach packet in any way. www.regina.ca/news/Agenda-...

Amanda Hess' excellent book about technology and motherhood shows how predatory, invasive, and destabilizing parenting apps/companies already already are. Undoubtedly built on LLMs we know give bad/dangerous advice, this sort of thing is truly insane. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/721361...

You might think no, I do not need to read 14,153 words about John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats. But I think that probably you do need to read 14,153 words about John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats. www.gq.com/story/john-d...
