When a goal is clearly, unmistakably audible in an otherwise quiet neighbourhood at 6:30 AM

What is going on with the price of chocolate in Canada? I swear all of these were regularly $3.50-$4.00 CAD a month ago.

What in the @radiatoryang.bsky.social mini game...

LLMs are designed to be sycophants because that's how the execs expect to be spoken to. Never questioned or challenged, only obsequiousness.

Côte-Nord stubbornly hanging on to the cold is on brand.

Tapping the sign again bsky.app/profile/aelk...

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

Fuck.

They broke their oath of allegiance and should resign. At minimum, be turfed from caucus.

Canadian-Registered & Certified G650

There are Canadian registered G500 and G600s. As far as I know Transport Canada hasn't certified the G700 or G800 because no Canadian has purchased one and applied to register it here. Good luck to all the regional airlines in America flying CRJs and DHC-8s though 🫡

Instantly recognizable to anyone who walks or cycles around a city, though usually the driver threatens to kill you with their car.

We've had this for decades, it's called CANPASS. The government took it away as an option for commercial passengers in 2018 since everyone was getting Nexus instead. It's still around for private jet passengers.

If we had a halfway decent opposition party in Canada, they’d endorse the words Carney used today, and then hammer him relentlessly on implementation or lack thereof.

It's incredible the number of times in the past year we've thought 'THIS is the moment Trump touches the stove' and basically nothing happens. We're now at 'directly threatening to end the post-war American hegemony with hostility towards/invasion of allies' and there are yet to be consequences.

Cool cool cool. My read of Star Trek is 'fully automated luxury gay space communism', kind of the polar opposite of whatever this lumpy racist wants.

There was much hand-wringing at my alma mater of naming the Geology dept "Earth Sciences" b/c grads would be disadvantaged when it came to mining/petro jobs. Of course it didn't turn out that way, and the dept has made a name for itself in geohazards - extremely and increasingly relevant!

Looking forward to heading back to the office tomorrow!

oh my god it actually was a coup assisted by the US, 10/10 no notes bsky.app/profile/labu...

Evergreen

2026 is starting off with real 2016-level bad vibes. What's next? The unexpected death of an internationally beloved icon?

Hearing wild news about a violent and vengeful dictator with a stranglehold on the local politics and media through the use of illegal concentration camps and a lack of respect for the law or the people he governs

I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987

this is where i post from

If I see a rat in my fucking toilet there is no way I'm going to calmly close the lid and go get some Palmolive www.facebook.com/KCPubHealth/...

Millennial Canadian gays giving Wolf Parade's "I'll Believe in Anything" a major boost.

On a Hope facebook group, residents of Hope say they have heard a massive sound coming down "t sounded like the mountain was coming down." Others say they have heard the same noise. The dark is likely to obscure any landslides taking place.

Astonishing!

Right turn on red has created a collective delusion in drivers that they don't need to stop at red lights or stop signs if they're turning right. Prohibiting RTOR at many more intersections is step one, but we're gonna need some enforcement as well

My day today: 6 inversions, 3 different emergency exit types, with and without portable air. One of the coolest training days

What a fun way to find out the dictionary account is hot

It's the most wonderful time of the year* *pumpkin beers and winter beers are both available

Star Trek is synonymous with its vociferously nerdy fans and it established numerous timelines of the same characters that are all canon. Just slap a new Bond in there and get going, nobody will care that he died in the last one. Make it camp and fun (but not racist) again.

Commercial pilots saying fuck it and going VFR is a hell of an outcome.

I'm finding it harder and harder to keep an open mind about AI with stories like this. We're using up vast amounts of our precious fresh water resources for what, exactly? www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Savage headline

Saying the quiet part out loud, only wanted to be an MP again if his party was in power.

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

I bet all those unpaid air traffic controllers are going to love having to deal with *checks notes* a nuclear detonation over Nevada. What could possibly go wrong?

When billionaires do illegal things those things get cute innocuous names like "racketeering" or "price-fixing" or "stake-driving"

Subverting the principles of Ronald Reagan - basically the word of god to many Republicans - is the final stage of appeasement to Trump.

Bike mechanics are vital to the shift to greener transportation, but they typically do work that’s precarious, low-pay and not backed up by formal training. Mechanics want that to change, but they’ve got a bureaucratic hurdle in the way: a dedicated NOC code. my latest for @pressprogress.ca ⬇️

Coast Guard Hovercraft blasting by Tower Beach at #UBC #Vancouver #NASPcrew

I mean, if the notoriously lefty rag THE ECONOMIST is saying it ...

Someone said Gen-Z dresses like Republicans in the 90's and then I saw a youth wearing pleated wide-leg jeans with an oversized blazer

Unfortunately I'm missing Pillion at the VIFF but I look forward to furtively watching it on an Air Canada flight in the near future.

ok it’s time
