modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

the only people making the world confusing for teenage boys are adult men who are telling them that the world they inhabit is broken and has turned against them because people’s values have evolved in the ~30 years that they’ve ceased to be teenagers and they no longer feel in control

if you don’t teach little boys that they are part of a family or community, if you teach them weird Christofascist “head of the household” shit, while the girls are taught they have to be in charge of managing all the boys’ emotions, the toxicity of the internet is just the cherry atop a shit sundae

I just finished @emilystjams.bsky.social Woodworking, and what a beautiful story. Realistic, complicated, endearing characters. Really enjoyed this one.

My final shot from today's outing! Nothing like spring colours! #photography #nature #EastCoastKin

You asked, I listened As an act of civic journalism, I contacted the Privy Council Office and the Speaker of the House of Commons to clarify if Pierre Poilievre can still serve as Leader of the Opposition and if he can continue living in his public mansion The official answers: No and no

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.

3. No “wedding cake” massing rules. Don’t cap the upper floor at 50% or 60% of the lower floor. You’re killing green space, functional housing and cost/efficiency in one fell swoop in the name of cutesy aesthetics. Just allow functional small housing. You’re a government not an HOA.

Why is it so difficult to make money in the wine business, even for people that succeeded in other fields? My two cents in my latest for @timatkinmw.bsky.social . timatkin.com/wine-fortunes/

I think most people can't comprehend that equalization comes from the federal government, which means there isn't some magical ledger where money is siphoned from one province and handed to another province like they're separate bank accounts. We're taxed as Canadians, not provincial residents.

Today’s #dogventure was a lovely jaunt around Jubilee and Oak Bay

Behold!! The world’s smallest cow!

Fiona Apple's cover of Heart of Gold is fantastic. You should consider listening if you like Fiona Apple!

Always read Morning File ⬇️

An excellent essay by @suzannerent.bsky.social in the @halifaxexaminer.ca Morning File. For social democracy in Canada to be meaningful we all must change our ways www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

"If you or any other Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere." Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation issues a scathing rebuke of Danielle Smith's talks on a national unity crisis.

“Children will be taught not to bully me. Children will be taught that I have a completely normal size and shape of head. Children will be taught not to say I look like if Pinocchio was made by Heinrich Himmler.”

This is him being mocked and losing an election in high school, whining about why should he have to pick up his trash at his santa monica high school when they employ janitors www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcMy...

stephen miller is 39 years old. but he looks like he spent the last 56 years sleeping in a coffin in a cave in argentina until he was disturbed by a rock slide at the secret nazi cemetery

What are you doing that you LOSE CONTROL WHILE REVERSING ??

3 story single loaded corridor (external) wrapped around a *massive* courtyard - and 4-story connected point access blocks. homes from 1- to 4-bedrooms. privacy. really phenomenal project by sauerbruch & hutton www.archdaily.com/1028436/fran...

Pedestrians who are hit by SUVs are 44% more likely to be killed than if they were hit by a conventional car, new study finds. Children are 82% more likely to die when hit by an SUV than by a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130% higher. Regulate vehicle size now.

@jennafabulous.bsky.social Happy Birthday to you! Hope you’re having an incredible day. 🎉🎂🎁🎉

Today I got to make pistachio cream eclairs for a birthday present for someone, and the sample one made me say ‘oh my god’ out loud. 🍽️🍜

Pork tenderloins, packed in twos, are buy one, get one at Thrifty right now if you’re looking for a versatile protein. I got four for $17 for my freezer. #yyj

I'm teaching it for free on May 28, FYI!

Today’s #dogventure was a nice springtime walk

Interesting thread here ⬇️

I'll believe in your AI product when you believe in it enough to resign so it can take your exec job

The alternative to naloxone (Narcan) for a fentanyl overdose outside a healthcare facility - where almost all of them in this country occur - is death. Dead people don’t recover. Fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18-44. Every single fentanyl overdose death is preventable.

Have you heard about this woman who invited in-laws, sister, and a minister, then allegedly poisoned them with death-cap mushrooms she cooked into a BEEF WELLINGTON? If I was gonna kill people with a fancy dinner, I’d make it a little less effortful. This trial’s gonna be a good one.

Must read thread on the the reality of living a car-free daily life, bike life with kids, how much $$ it saves you and your community and of course the awesome health benefits. #bikesky #cycling #activetransportation #gobybike

i am tired of being told i must coddle these people. no! they are willfully ignorant! and their standard bearer, RFK, is a monstrous narcissist who is indifferent to death and suffering.

This is incredibly inappropriate from the Toronto Police Association. I want legislation about specifically police unions/associations needing to be non-partisan because of the nature of the work.

#ForestFriday Well, Forest Friday now has a Bluesky poster. The once grassroots theme is officially official. A hearty thank you to Alina @alinagrafik.bsky.social. She worked her design magic & turned my forest photo into a clean, informative & lovely poster. See y'all on Friday.✌️ #EastCoastKin

Yesterday I made (enough for tonight’s dinner too) a gorgeous pot of beans, fresh cheese and fresh tortillas for tostadas to go with the avocado, chorizo and pickled onions I already had 🍜🍽️

The mere suggestion that the United States could order its cloud firms to shut off foreign clients the Trump administration is feuding with is yet another reason to accelerate the creation of sovereign public cloud facilities. Governments can’t give more contracts to Amazon, Microsoft, or Google.

If Poilievre requires a by-election to get a seat, could we please commit to use the adjective “costly” or “wasteful” or “expensive” whenever we mention it? The party of fiscal prudence and “common sense” needs holding to account.

Anti-trans activist Meghan Murphy finished dead last in Vancouver East, where she ran for the PPC, securing just 334 votes - one fewer than the local Communist candidate.

Remarkable Voter Turnout on Vancouver Island: *Victoria-72.4% *Saanich-Gulf Islands-76.7% *Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke-72.2% *Cowichan-Malahat-Langford-72.7% Nanaimo-*Ladysmith-72.6% *Courtenay-Alberni-74.1% *North Island-Powell River-74.1%

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

Fun fact: research shows that drivers yield to pedestrians at a much higher rate if you just *keep walking into the street without stopping* www.kostelecplanning.com/on-the-11th-...

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

The inquiry should also look into measures around vehicle safety. Heavy overpowered SUVs & pickups kill and injure hundreds of people every year. Should look into if they need stricter licensing and better regulation.

I was a SUPER-BIG FAN of Carney even haphazardly criticizing Israel and I hope it continues. Wanna make ME happy this week? Send a big fucking planeload of Canadian wheat and Saskatchewan lentils to Gaza. Feed them. FEED THEM, @mark-carney.bsky.social.
