Constant emergency alert testing is one of the biggest scams around today.

An Expo 86 exhibit where you put on goggles and see everything that has come to pass as Vancouver hosts the World Cup amid misc ongoing global crisis in 2026.

Port Moody just got Brooklyn Pizza, in addition to getting Lime in the last year I now declare Pomo COMPLETE for gentrification amenities. Of course they’re still only just now getting to soon building towers around the Moody Centre Skytrain station that opened in 2016.

It's the nineteenth anniversary of the day I left Edmonton. Celebrating with a breakfast chimichanga. Later I might get Dominos.

If you’re a Caps fan this week has been absolute torture watching normies come up with uninformed, half baked ideas to save the team. It’s over, it’s all over. I’ve made my peace. I’m disgusted giving them any more money but it’ll still be in supporters 253 on Aug 1.

I’m not ready for TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain to be twenty years old.

We're going to have a Prime Minister from Edmonton and an astronaut on the ISS from Edmonton (area) at the same time. (And the astronaut is a Ukrainian settler descendant)

Dear BC Place, could I pay $20 to come in on a non-World Cup game day just to know what the real grass smells like from the first row of supporters section? $50 if we can step on it barefoot. vancouversun.com/news/bc-plac...

According to this article, the roof at BC Place will be closed for all matches during the tournament as a part of the quality control for the pitch.

The Oilers won their first playoff game tonight. Twitter is showing me a woman on woman fight where one woman seems to be knocked out accidentally by a cop (head hit the ground) trying to break it up, a six on one fight, and someone on the LRT had an ear bitten off. Welcome to Oil Country 🫡

When you see an event listing for a “beach rave” in East Van and you know technically there’s only one beach in East Van so it’s an easy night walk.

It looks like there's a pretty decent correlation between satisfaction and tax rate?! Higher provincial taxes means higher satisfaction?

I like Bluesky, I do, and I check it regularly, but still I only found out about the outage on Twitter. 😅

Last Canucks Gameday $4 Big Mac of the season and with that I salute the only connection I have to the team. 🫡 Did I throw on games when they were on CBC or Prime? Yeah but I’d be lying if I said I actually watched. Having it on so my partner didn’t realize I was listening to degenerate YouTubers.

The documents for this floating hotel that's going to council public hearing tonight has... shadow analysis over the water.

This Ken Sim MLB proposal pisses me off so much when I spent Saturday in Whitecaps supporters section trying not to tear up (and failing) at the prospect that we’re probably going to lose something I’ve found joy in for a decade. You’re fuckin gone Kenny. Entrepreneur bros fuck off from politics.

Previewing a Zizek audiobook and being disappointed he isn’t the narrator.

Every Whitecaps game I’m going to this year, I’m steadily working through the emotional processing that we’re probably going to lose the team. This makes every game special but also means that by August I’ll probably be getting teary over a fuckin’ Houston Dynamo match. #vwfc

Treating Costco like an extraction shooter. No cart for quickest in/out.

Someone in the Orion capsule just got to take the furthest ever piss from Earth and blast it into space. 🫡

Secondary item of Canadian pride and Western Canadian pride, the woman working Capcom while the astronauts do flyby of the moon is backup astronaut Jenni Gibbons of Calgary. Hope you get your own flight someday Jenni, maybe ISS before it’s decommissioned.

Breka Hastings-Sunrise has a night security guy on weekends now. It’s bumpin at this time on a Saturday.

I say this every year about some album or another: I’m not ready for Crystal Castles - Amnesty (I) to be ten years old this year.

Shamelessly giving FIFA and the PNE org money for Fan Fest amphitheatre arch tickets so I can vaguely enjoy something this summer. Metric!

I respect A&W Canada so much for not being concerned about economic downturns and committing to quality. No coupons in the app for 2+ months and their marketing is all: “The Teen Burger, you know it’s good, come get it at regular price which is $9 now” & “the Mozza Burger exists too”.

The Steamclock is Good Actually because cities are a series of lies we tell ourselves that hang in balance.

A thing I’ll always remember about AI image generators is that the ChatGPT Studio Ghibli style generator gave a tail to my Manx cat who naturally has no tail.

People who pay attention to the fake sounds that EVs make: is the Chevy Equinox EV not the most Jetsons-ass fake sound of all of them?

This is my review of the McDonalds LTO item “Hockey Hero Burger”. Like all of us McD’s thought Canada would win gold. So they put three patties on a long bun for a post Olympics LTO. The core novelty is that it uses mayo which is rare on McD’s burgers. Bacon helps but no other special sauce. 6.2/10

This is my review of the returning McDonalds LTO item “Chicken Big Mac”. The important thing to know about this is that the patties have a crispier breading similar to nuggets, vs the McChicken. It’s like two big flat nuggets. They didn’t overthink this, but it’s low effort. Smart LTO. 8.3/10

Replaced my microwave of 18 years that I bought off a guy I went to junior high with, only because the turntable died and it was ruining my El Monterey Chicken and Cheese Chimichangas with uneven heating. Did you know new microwaves in the US and Canada have been wokeified with child locks now?

It is absolute fucking bullshit that the Super Mario Galaxy movie is taking Imax screens away from Project Hail Mary on its third weekend.

Happy 50th Birthday to my first love... the Apple Computer Company

The funny thing about my relationship with the west side of Vancouver (not including downtown) is I barely ever go over there and mostly only experience its culture through city council meetings.

Smoke time every day

Rewatching BSG S1 and there's a subplot that ends one episode at UBC and resumes the next episode at SFU.

Only Apple could have the balls to sell these as separate colours. Still I will love this company to my end.

Pacific Northwest climate filtering is a feature not a bug! Feature not a bug!

One of my favorite factoids about the Liberal Party of Canada is that they were in power for more of the 20th Century than the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

CARNEY WORLD ORDER SECURED

HAPPY PERMANENT TIME IN BC. For this occasion I have poured Alberta Premium 9 year.

Eby didn't give us enough notice on the DST thing to organize Last DST parties... oh well I'll stay up playing Marathon at least.

A guy in Willingdon Costco got huffy that I did a bit of side checking to get through a tight spot. Not proud of it but sir, I don’t know how to make it more obvious by our surroundings that Willingdon Costco is an open PVP zone. If you want a slow calm shop you’re in the wrong place, or decade.

Iran is one of those places that chooses to make their lives more difficult by being a half hour time zone, GMT +3:30

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

Recognizing this pattern is one of the most important things in thinking about what principles and values ought to guide urban planning.

Is Gastown saxophone guy still around? He wasn't good but I just remembered him.

We’re back to regular Whitecaps luck this year. #vwfc

Every sports team discord has that guy who is a core mod but doesn't live local to the team.

Objectively 3 on 3 OT in a final is bad
