The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

it would suck to be on an amazing adventure in a strange and magical land with a talking lion and then one day you're like, Oh god fucking damn it this is all catholic isn't it

This is probably ok

CABELA'S SECURITY GUARD: Congratulations, you've stolen every arrow in the store. ME: *takes a bow*

It's Christmas for a certain kind of sicko (me)

i often think about this review

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

I’ve really enjoyed The Maple’s reporting over the years, and we have precious few reliable independent news sources in Canada. This attack is, quite simply, a hostile foreign power directly attacking our culture and degrading our society

As the only (I think?) local reporter in Tumbler Ridge, Trent Ernst has been heroically covering the tragedy unfolding in his town. Most of his reporting is happening on Facebook, which you can find here, along with links to his Patreon. www.facebook.com/tumblerridge...

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

At the height of swine flu Indigenous bands in Canada were begging Stephen Harper for more resources and support and he sent them body bags

At the War On Cars show last night, @shawnmicallef.bsky.social said that bike delivery riders have brought a critical mass of cyclists to Toronto. It's true: they are the ones out there navigating the roads year-round, in all weather. They are cyclists and they deserve support and safety.

Finally some @cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca updates about the winter bike lane clearing! While it's good to see Richmond and Adelaide are done, let's keep reporting other snow covered bike lanes to 311 and notify the respective councillors. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking #VisionZero

When you open yourself up and let someone peek underneath that armor but actually you've already just been your goofy as self the whole time

Your turn, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

every morning I wake up, read the news, walk down into hell, share a strong cup of tea with the devil who assures me it will and can get worse, walk backwards out of darkness, and emerge into the light to witness the world collapse

It's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.

On the 54th anniversary of Bloody Sunday we are reminded that all oppressed and occupied peoples are brothers and sisters and we are all working in service of the same victory, however dim or bright the hope seems in any moment, from Derry to Gaza to Iran to Minneapolis

The AGO is disbanding the committee that decided not to go ahead with the Nan Goldin acquisition. @joshokane.bsky.social has been leading and breaking this story for the past week and a bit. A huge amount of work has gone into reporting this story. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Me, to other Canadians: Man, fuck Bombardier, fuck Irving Shipyards, fuck the dairy cartels, ugh Me when a Y*nqui says we should get rid of them for their products:

Don't make Canada cheer on Bombardier, man.

Ok on my commute today I saw THREE people on packed trains/buses take the outside seat and block in an empty inside seat, and I’m sorry but that’s psychopath behavior

Wild to see this, I did an unforgettable 32km run here when I was travelling in Belfast and training for a marathon. Hope this doesn't cause too much havoc

May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’” Source: cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/34...

I saw a critique of Springsteen's new song, it being too earnest and cringe, and if I could just take a second to introduce you to the entire Bruce Springsteen catalogue we could settle this in a heartbeat.

there are no tears like the tears you cry over bruce springsteen’s music. that man has never heard of irony or subtext. his lifelong task is to tell you things are bad by quite simply telling you things are bad and he’s the best there ever was at it

oh you think the Boss is cringe? you think he’s embarrassingly earnest? you fucking reprobate. bruce has been embarrassing me my whole life

Clear car lanes, unusable bike lanes, two days after the blizzard (Tuesday aft). It’s a ton of snow & will take time sure, but you have mayoral candidate Brad “I sleep with a bat” Bradford trying to say it’s the other way around to gin up rage & culture war stuff.

Despite cycling advocates winning a landmark Charter victory last July, Premier #DougFord is challenging the decision in the Ontario Court of Appeal, doubling down on his vision to make more room for cars (& endangering cyclists in the process). We’re not backing down. LEARN MORE >> bit.ly/49RxLMM

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show. Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.
