Starfleet Academy is pretty good, good enough that my wife is right into it. She's not into Trek, or wasn't.

A win, a big one. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Do not identify with brands. It's bad for your sense of self.

Catherine O'Hara was my boss. Well, not really, but sort of. She was one of the silent owners of the legendary Bamboo Club in Toronto. I worked there for three years. I met her there once. She was so kind to us. She wrote the foreward to our book, The Bamboo Cooks. Which I here in her memory. RIP.

Free Don Lemon!

I finally watched the final season of Star Trek Discovery. I wanted to see it to the end and I'm glad I did. Season 5 for me tied for the best season, right up there with season 1. The inclusion of David Cronenberg playing a recurring character in the final seasons really helped the show.

bangers and mash

RIP Sal Buscema who also had a great run in the Incredible Hulk. Legend. bleedingcool.com/comics/sal-b...

Hey @teirersias.bsky.social we have a petition to ask the feds to adopt a better emissions target, and tell us clearly how they plan to get there. No personal data saved! Kids can sign! But alas, no one in Nunavut has yet signed. Please consider it.

RIP Sly Dunbar of the legendary dub and reggae duo, Sly and Robbie. youtu.be/Padjp3Fhnhg?...

Do not trust fascist American tech.

The other day, my kid texted me from school asking if I knew Lobo. I replied, "The band or the comic character?" Turns out someone lent them the original 4 issue run and I have it as well. Haven't read since 1990, so we are gonna both read and share notes after. Fun!

RIP Bob Weir

When u push and abuse ppl to the point they have nothing to lose, rage no longer is an effective tactic for control.

ICE is a terrorist organization, an anarchist enterprise that subverts our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish their goals.

Why hasn't the murder "suspect" of Renee Good been arrested by police. His identity is known.

Friendly reminder: Greenland is actually Indigenous territory, not "other white people".

STOP. TRUMP. FROM. INVADING. GREENLAND.

This is the way.

This is the part where I don't want to share this thread because it's so close to home. But I do, because the situation is so dire for our neighbours in Greenland. And potentially across the Canadian Arctic, too.

At one million plus scoville units, even the box looks hot!

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

my strongest social media belief is that threads isn’t real

Go Sweden!

So it turns out these are snow rollers, a rare metereological phenomenon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_ro...

It is very warm in parts of Nunavut again. +1C here in Iqaluit with a blizzard forecasted with strong winds up to 85 kmh. That combined with the snow conditions caused these snowballs to appear everywhere around the city and land. A weird effect I've not seen before. The snow is wet and crunchy.

“Why did the Ayn Rand–loving heroes of tech become Donald Trump’s bootlickers?” The answer is right there in your question, my dude

A smug finger wag from Alberta lmao

In Canada, donut is spelled doughnut and the proper pronunciation is "doff-nut".

finally, we're living through precedented times

I tried letterboxd, I tried.

Trans rights or fistfights

Bluesky just passed 40 million users... and you probably didn't hear a thing. Why? Because this isn’t just another social network. It's something bigger. Click the image, then check the alt text to find why it's different and why you should care.

Bed, Bath and Bunions

Gotta say, if I were a Canadian politician, I would be very careful about praising Donald Trump for illegally bombing an oil-rich country and arresting its leader on what are pretty much imaginary allegations of narco trafficking

I miss Link, he was such a big part of this place.

An epic day of food before our eldest flies out and goes back to school and the holiday officially comes to an end. My wife made the best salad rolls with shrimp and homemade peanut sauce. I made curry goat with fried plantains. Hope you're having a good weekend!

It's done. That was an incredible build. I would estimate between 16-20 hours are needed for these 3600 pieces. It is a complex build but the end result is worth it. An amazing display piece for any Trekkie/Trekker. That was an amazing Lego run. Time to take a break from the bricks for a while.

Happy New Year!

I just put the furnace on summer settings. On New Year's Eve in Nunavut.

Are they counting the children of thalidomide is the biggest question I have because this number seems low

Told ya it was gonna be an epic build. Put a few hours in but that's it for tonight.

Did my second last lego build of the year. There's one more to make and it's going to be epic!

I just found out the 1940s Fleischer animated Superman is now in the public domain, so I tried drawing him.

Another thing about Weinerpeg is that their hot dogs aren't anything special. They do have amazing fries, though.
