The mitochondria is still the powerhouse of the cell.

Good morning Bluesky. This morning’s mood is being set by Haunt Me, a post-punk band out of Austin TX youtu.be/2tUcNdKPsVc?...

“The AFL represents 175,000 working Albertans. The Common Front, a coalition of unions supporting teachers, represents more than 350,000 workers across the province.” #isupporteducationworkers

The feminine urge to wear your plague doctor mask to the masquerade party your office wants to do for Christmas

Happy Monday from the view from my office ❄️ So much for making it to Nov without snow. It’s not even a pretty snowfall…

And on some Sundays you’re in the mood to listen to nothing but Sherlock Holmes stories read by Stephen Fry

As much as I dread winter here, the events leading up to it capture me every year

Good morning from my tea and a fresh layer of frost

Happy Saturday from a dreary spot in the northern part of western Canada. Attempted a walk but the rain has gotten a bit heavy, so enjoying the sound of it and some fresh air instead.

Carney is not perfect and Canada has it’s own problems…but at least when he talks you can understand what he’s saying…

The Major Events Timeline of the Whitehouse website looks like a lesson in Propaganda 101. I was speechless. The reek of insecurity pouring off of these people just gets worse. I am begging anyone who will listen to not let this happen to Canada. Please.

Friday morning mood being set by the “kozmik space punk duo” Caveman & The Banshee, who did an amazing set when I saw them for the first time in July youtu.be/M-mh4D3rq80?...

Happy Friday from me and this stunning sunrise. Long early morning commutes aren’t all bad.

Having thoughts today about how much I miss being in academic spaces having conversations about history and literature. Now I work in finance and while there are things about it I like, it doesn’t scratch that itch. And there’s only so much talking about golf that one person can take.

They say younger people aren’t horny or sincere about cinema anymore but my faith is rekindled by all the 5 star it made me cry and we want to fuck the monster / Victor / the movie itself reviews of @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein on @letterboxd.social

Chappell Roan Unveils Midwest Princess Fund for Trans Youth — and She’s Already Raised $400K

Hearing someone tell a small business owner “I can get it cheaper on Amazon/at Walmart” is almost guaranteed to make me rage rant. Gtfo here with your 🍑 backwards ethics.

Thread. In a smaller way, I did this when I came to Bluesky and decided not to be the guy who got into arguments here, like I had been on the former Twitter. That choice has done rather a bit to make Bluesky generally a better place for me to be, and, I hope, a better hang for others here too.

Good morning Bluesky. Today’s mood officially being set by The Stooges. youtu.be/tJ-wIgZ63Yw?...

Happy Wednesday to the people in my phone youtu.be/eaMLi05gQok?...

C'mon down to Milwaukee Cinematic Sisterhood MKE.org this weekend. Signing on saturday afternoon. Tank Girl friday cosplay time. Some treats to show and things to say. Hope to see you. I'll try to be brewers-replacement. I still throw a mean fastball.

Thankful for music every single day youtu.be/gQiXoI8fdkY?...

PSA: Qobuz has been working very well for me so far and appears to have a better average pay out for artists www.qobuz.com

Polls should be open for another 2hrs for the Alberta municipal elections! Don’t let long lines discourage you…voting is a privilege and municipal elections matter so much!

People who leave freezer items on random grocery store shelves. Basically you’re saying you’re fine with food waste AND that you consider putting it back in the freezer to be beneath you.

Colours have changed a little in the last few decades I guess

Good morning from my jet lag and this glorious chonk

Define your music taste in eight artists (though I dislike picking so few): Vision Video Urban Heat The Cure NIN Depeche Mode Odonis Odonis The Tragically Hip Actors

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it's the flaming Bentley from Good Omens.

www.qobuz.com looks like a good option! So fuck you Spotify.

Any parent siding with the AB gov should be a teacher for one day. Out here thinking they know what’s best for the education system when it seems clear that many of them haven’t picked up a book instead of their phone in decades. Perhaps TikTok clips of Reading Rainbow can help ease them into it.

This is the news I want to see in place of the discoloured orange parasite on humanity invading every app I open.

Can’t imagine why…

Example of inequality at work in real time and/or the newest definition of natural selection.

There’s a petition to name the site of the old the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel Warren Zevon Square. Warren’s song, Desperados Under the Eaves, is one of the great odes to Los Angeles. Please sign the petition so we can make Zevon Square happen. www.change.org/p/help-us-ho...

I'll be doing a live Youtube reading for The Pixel Project tonight (Friday, Sept 12th) at 8:30 ET. Details are below. The Pixel Project is a great group dedicated to ending violence against women. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUMt...

We are silent when we see that all the money of all the nations has come into the hands of a few men; which we seem to tolerate and to permit with the more equanimity, because none of these robbers conceals what he is doing. - Cicero

Ads at the beginning of a Youtube video? Fine. Again in the middle? Annoying, but ok. Getting them at the end, as well as sponsored posts in my subscribed feed? Sorry Google, you’re basically just pissing me off enough to guarantee I will NEVER pay you for premium. Ever.
