#XFiles They’re finally bringing back The X-Files. Ryan Coogler is writing/directing the pilot. This could be really really good or a lame remake. I hope they recapture the essence of the original including the chemistry of the two leads. www.imdb.com/news/ni65721...

@kikkiplanet.bsky.social Every. Damn. Time.

OK. You win The Internet for today.

#PrinceAndrew #Epstein I wonder…now that Prince Andrew has been arrested is this enough for him to admit his guilt but at the same time seek a plea deal by naming others? The first person to make a deal usually gets the best deal. Take them all down with you.

On Feb. 19, 1942, German soldiers marched through Winnipeg. The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested, and the city was renamed Himmlerstadt. Books were burned, and the German flag flew across the city. This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day. 🧵 1/12

How can a cloud operator scrape your data for AI if the data you send them is encrypted and they don’t know what it contains?

#RobertDuvall RIP Robert Duvall who passed today at the age of 95. So many movies to pick from, but I think I’ll watch THX-1138 tonight.

I hate this ruling but it’s not a “death sentence” for many reasons. The main one is companies have ALREADY designed and built efficient engines with low emissions and good efficiency. We won’t see any additional improvements, but we’re not going back to the 70s. California. They’ve always set…

#StarTrek #TNG #Ex Lots of people talking Trek since the new series dropped. My bad experience with Star Trek? My now ex-girlfriend applied for us to be extras in TNG. We split up and shortly after were accepted. She got to appear in a TNG episode as a Blue Shirt while I got bupkis.

The Right to repair crowd makes some good points. A perfect example is the appliance industry, where you can buy a washing machine for $500, but if the computer board fails they’ll charge you $400 for a new one. People will often buy a brand-new machine as it’s only $100 more (and has a warranty).

#Movie #Bomb #BlueWire #RedWire In movies the bomb technician chooses between the red wire or the blue wire. Rat chewed through wiring on a friends Jaguar. Those little bastards are getting smarter. If you wanted to cut a single wire and cause 20 problems then this is the exact wire you’d cut. 🤬

#Rivian #R2 Magazines have just published their early access tests drives of the R2 and it’s looking good so far. There’s been a lot of doubt surrounding this vehicle leading up to its release. www.motortrend.com/reviews/firs...

#Trump #GordieHoweBridge What a fucking man child. Says he refuses to allow the opening of the new Gordie Howe Bridge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Work #Mornings Sometimes I hate my job and find out I have to work on junk like this.

#CBC #ICE Come on, CBC. You can do better. You correctly identify the agency as HSI multiple times in your article while using the term ICE in your headlines and promoting quotes from politicians that are inaccurate. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#LuigiMangione #Billionaires #Epstein #DOJ Wealthy people committing heinous crimes and getting away with it while DOJ does nothing. The world needs a few more Luigi’s. Yeah, I said it.

#CatherineO’Hara I hate this fucking timeline. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

#Cycling #E-Bikes #Injuries How come articles about a person being injured/killed in a collision involving a vehicle say: “a driver struck a…” but if a person is injured in an e-bike collision they always say: “an e-bike struck a…” In both cases it’s the driver/rider at fault.

#Alberta #Seperatists #Treason Good to see the CBC has also picked up this story and that it’s going to be talked about when premiers meet. Oh to be a fly on the wall. I wonder how much Smith is squirming? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I say let them. When high-ranking government officials attend events like the Olympics they always have a security detail. If they want to use poorly trained ICE agents instead of the Secret Service I say more power to them. Not that anything might happen…😉

#Transgender #Persecution My older daughter has been seeing someone for awhile now. This weekend over dinner she tells me this person is transgender. I was disappointed. Not because she’s seeing someone who’s transgender but because she didn’t tell me sooner. We raised our daughters to reject…

Excuse my language, but these separatists who’ve met with people in the Trump administration are fucking traitors. When are they going to be investigated? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It’s terrible when someone dies while walking, cycling or driving. It’s also terrible when people conflate data to try and make a point. The article link talks about the accident and then goes on to claim the F150 is “notorious for its involvement in traffic crashes”. Is the F150 really that bad?

#Oscars #Sinners Congratulations to everyone involved with Ryan Coogler's Sinners as it breaks record with 16 Academy Award nominations. 😀 How long before Republicans complain about this? I can see it now: “When did the Academy turn woke/DEI?” Suck it, racists. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

#DougFord #EVs #Boycott Good luck with that. EVs are superior to their gas equivalents in every way possible and when less expensive options show up nobody is going to listen to Ford. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Carney #Poilievre #FloorCrossers When Carney returns to Canada how many Conservative MPs are going to cross the floor? Must be tough watching Carney getting things done while you have to threaten your MPs to “keep them in line”.

#Carney #Speech #Poll I was going to make a poll asking people what their favorite quote from the speech Carney made in Davos, but realized people probably don’t want to have to pick from a list of 20+ selections. 😉

Well, since someone “leaked” the 8 week certification from an anonymous source I guess I can repost it without naming my source. 😉 Who’s going to buy a Tesla (or other EV) once they find out that BYD cars could be coming in only a few months? People will take a wait-and-see approach before buying…

My thoughts: 1. Why admit this? Use it to your advantage by continuing to send false intelligence to the US so Russia makes mistakes by following it. 2. When is Congress going to look at the chain of intelligence and take down everyone involved for treason?

#SecondNarrows #Fog #E-Scooter Commuting to work over the Second Narrows on a chilly morning (2C/35F) and snapped a quick shot of the fog over the Second Narrows Train Bridge.

#StarfleetAcademy #StarTrek #Reviews #DEI Watched the first episodes of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and it’s good. Checked Rotten Tomatoes and it has a rating of 85% (fair) but audience score of only 35%. Looks like more organized review bombing, probably MAGA upset with the content.

I hope they found a bunch of un-redacted Epstein documents and now they’re freaking out wondering how many others they’ve been shared with.

#Snapdragon #Apple Early benchmarks are out for the Snapdragon X2 shown at CES. While they’re fast and more efficient than AMD or Intel, they’re still far behind Apple M Series processors. Some history. Gerard Williams III was the chief architect at Apple and… www.pcmag.com/news/qualcom...

#WTFIsWrongWithPeople Was shopping tonight and as I head up to the store I see a man crumbled on the ground across the lot. Several people walking and a couple cars were heading to the nearby exit so I figured someone would assist. 20 minutes later I’m leaving and the man is still there.

Good. Alberta separatists are the most entitled people I’ve seen thinking their rights supersede all others.

Most likely one driver struck the woman and she was knocked into the path of the oncoming vehicle. Then both drivers fled the scene. Disgusting behavior. First driver turned himself in the next day (classic response from a drunk driver as they can’t… www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Surrey #RoadRage #PepperSpray I always find it odd someone could borrow your car, commit a crime, and the registered owner can simply refuse to say who they loaned their vehicle too. Should be charged with obstruction of justice, IMO. youtu.be/FXzyoCC0_5o?...

#Putin #Ukraine #Residence Putin accuses Ukraine of targeting his residence. I call BS. I doubt anyone anywhere knows where Putin really lives. If anyone had that information he would have been taken out years ago by someone (another Russian seeking power or an enemy wanting revenge).

#Cycling #Safety #Men I se a lot of posts about cycling safety and it almost always concentrates on biking paths/roads and making them safer. While I agree that we need better infrastructure, that’s not a magic bullet that’s going to solve things. What is? Stay tuned.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains:

#Epstein #Clinton Interesting that Clinton is demanding the release of all the Epstein files where he’s mentioned (or photographed). I don’t like Clinton, but I don’t think he was with underage girls. If he was Trump would have leaked it ages ago. Republicans are obsessed with Clinton and would…

#Carney #Dairy Carney says no to supply management changes. Even if we did allow more US dairy in Canada (to keep Trump happy) would anyone buy it? I know I wouldn’t even if it was cheaper. Don’t need hormones and antibiotics in my dairy. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

#DairyQueen #BreakIn Went for lunch at Dairy Queen and noticed the cake freezer door was damaged. Asked the staff what happened and apparently someone broke into the store and couldn’t get any money so they stole a bunch of frozen cakes instead. Probably worth more than any cash in the till. 😉

The Christmas tree this year. My wife is from the Philippines and they’re serious about Christmas decorations. They start in September. 😯 We wait much later than that. 😉

#Manufacturing #China #ToolAndDie This is an old video, and done in the typical propaganda style of American exceptionalism of the era, but is interesting to watch. Even in 1953 it was understood how important tool & die makers are to the manufacturing industry. youtu.be/QU6nsfoNWDI?...

#Poilievre #MichaelMa No he wasn’t you ass. He was elected to best represent the people in his riding. And clearly they aren’t being represented by slogans and rage farming.

#MicroPenis #PavementQueen I found the smallest penis in BC and I didn’t even need a magnifying glass to do so.

@tinybeaches.bsky.social Time to brag a little. Burnaby recently installed this pedestrian/cyclist bridge to cross the #1 highway. A significant expense at around $25 million. youtu.be/wCtmyYrymqs?...

What a fucking god damn piece of shit. 🤬
