PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE MUPPETS IS MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY 😡😡😡😡

Every year @kymdeyn.bsky.social and I celebrate Cheese Day, to make our shared birthday. It's normally a few days to a week after our birthday, and involves spending hours eating an enormous cheese board while watching a movie. Have a blesséd Cheese Day to all who celebrate.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

"It's the Muppet Show," he would say every week in his role as host, "with our very special guest star [name of human celebrity]!"

God, the fans in Milan are cheering so hard for Ukraine

Writing this story made me happy in a dark time. I talked to half a dozen people who started queer bookstores in their communities, and what I heard gave me hope. These aren't just bookstores — they're a lifeline for people who have no place else to go.

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install ‘swift bricks’ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

apologies to everyone who failed remedial english classes, but male balrogs look after the eggs while the females hunt for food in the antarctic tundra, tolkien is dead he can't argue with me

Happy Bandcamp Friday to all who celebrate!

He will be missed, but also good! It's about time! Go enjoy retirement, Buck. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Childhood was a political project, centuries of activism carving out time and space for young people to grow and learn. It's an unfinished project, and the right wing wants it ended when it's barely even begun.

I mean honestly, kudos to BlogTO for finding the local angle

Trying to explain the tow truck wars to people not from here is sure something.

DAYSPRING by @meakoopa.bsky.social, available in bookstores now

I can’t believe no one has chosen “About As Helpful As You Can Be Without Being Any Help At All” by Dan Mangan yet. Where are my sad indie cancon nerds at? tidal.com/track/802726...

All of Haiti’s problems stem from being perpetually punished for freeing themselves from enslavement

PEI sliding into the sweetest Confederation deal in 1873.

I gotta intentionally not look at city council today. I cannot afford to lose my mind today, too much to get done.

This is why the Americans couldn't hold Quebec in 1775.

Nice work, TVO.

I can never get over how funny the opening of Wuthering Heights is. Lockwood's inner monologue is all "Hello, Heathcliff! Like you, I am hot and brooding, so you and I will have A LOT to talk about ;)"

I cannot emphasize enough how bad you have to be at driving to manage this.

this ruined my day but also I don’t know how I never heard about it so I’m gonna pass it on I guess

The example of Alice Munro really drives this point home.

Give a big welcome to Calgary Transit, now posting on Bluesky! :)

It's National Golden Retriever Day and that's all the excuse we need. 🥰🥰

You know Shredder hates to see this

A tribute to Moira Rose 💔

Alls I want is a full on Cornelius Krieghoff winter. Total abandon.

My thoughts exactly when I saw the trailer. It is very much NOT a love story.

Well I'M delighted to be in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!

Nation could really use Catherine O'Hara to deal with passing of Catherine O'Hara

One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

Five uni classes! 1. Classical and Biblical Backgrounds of English Literature 2. Jacobin and Anti-Jacobin Novels of the 1790s 3. White civility in Canadian Literature 4. Women & Religion 5. Logic & Philosophy

man, fuck this guy. my core national identity includes reckoning with the crimes of the past, instead of glorifying them as a means to justify repeating them in the present.

*taps the fucking sign*

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

If you’ve never seen Catherine O’Hara’s Katherine Hepburn impersonation, you’re in for a treat.

Pretty sure it's the provinces and their constant invocation of the Notwithstanding Clause that is gutting the Charter and not the other way around.

TGIWFWTD (Thank God It's Whiskey Friday With Tony Dokoupil), everyone

You can grow incredible things in these

Love that current affairs are such that I'm searching what Canada's laws on treason are. . . . Well, we are definitely predictable.

You must, and I do not say this lightly, watch this video. Sound on.
