I refuse to vote for anyone who holds lav mics in a video.

I share a birthday with Erling Haaland

This is my review of the McDonald's LTO item "Creamy Parmesan & Bacon QPC". I'm a man of simple tastes and ordinarily wouldn't pay $1.50 extra for bacon and a sauce. But it felt like a "treat yo self day" so it hit just right. Cassier McDonalds has the best record of not disappointing me.

I’m so FIFA cucked I’m already sad it’s almost over.

It was more or less inevitable that on a long enough timeline baseball would eventually produce a baseball Pope.

The maple leaf nonetheless forever

Heartbroken for the Aussies, some of the best fans ever.

It’s 4am at Breka and there’s a guy using Apple Vision Pro

The only thing that annoys me about being 40, almost 41, is that I didn’t just become neurotypical at some point.

I just want to say... Angine De Poitrine is overrated, Primus already exists and is more listenable.

Another beautiful day in paradise

I genuinely didn’t expect this to be as controversial as it’s been. One thing I’m learning is that a ton of people have this conspiratorial view that gentrification is, like, a policy goal or plan that elected officials and/or private investors decide on: “Bwahaha, let’s target this neighborhood!”

Wearing an Olympic 2010 volunteer jacket to World Cup 2026 fan fest is an A++ flex.

lol the solstice is ridiculous why is there first light at 3:20am

Ya’ll think world cup is exciting let me introduce you to the CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP. The tournament that decides who of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal is having the least bad year and you never know when a lower division CPL team will beat an MLS side that is much better paid.

learning about Canada's rich cultural history

Perspective trick sidewalk art near the Fan Festival

Leaving a full set of CPA accounting textbooks in a Little Free Library is sick behaviour but perhaps subversive or performance art.

Just come down to Granville after any random game and you get to experience that country’s fans celebrating. And then enjoy the finest cheap pizza by the slice in Western Canada.

I have to go to work and I'm still borderline tearing up that we're possibly, hopefully, going to get a Canada round of 32 game in Vancouver. July 2.

Popular local icon The Sulfur Pile making it to the national broadcast.

Strathcona's Militant Mothers of Raymur pedestrian overpass got used in a Lululemon Olympic ad I saw a thousand times earlier this year, now it gets used in a Superstore World Cup ad I'll see a thousand times.

I don't have strong feelings about which team to support for the late rounds but it'll be England. But secondarily I definitely want to see Messi lose.

The World Cup title card jingle (Whoa-eh-whoaa ohhh ohh oh) will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life and it's only day six. Just like Vancouver 2010 - I Believe.

Only contribution to current America Discourse: It's a shame Super Dave Osborne didn't get to live to see dirt bikes backflipping on the White House lawn.

Every time I choose bus over scooter I regret it.

We’ve know this for eight years and I still can believe I’m seeing BC Place used in a WC match 🥲

Yes

another MoV render

Somewhere, bus of the sea

#vanpoli Vancouver political throwback moment! Jim Green, the best mayor we never had, beaten by fucking Sam Sullivan, who paid* a guy named James Green to also run, and the margin of victory was smaller than the number of votes James Green got.

Yes

Transit stations are well branded for The Event. If you spend $10k on your World Cup vacation but still take transit here, you won’t get lost!

Shout out to this 2010 Olympics wait time sign in front of World Cup branding at Waterfront Station

Another beautiful day in paradise.

Saw a guy with the DS9 baseball hat in the North Van Brewery District

My take on AI is, essentially, everybody who’s against is too against it and everybody who’s for it is too for it.

“Bubble” is just the word you use to say “community” when you don’t like the people in the community.

thinkin' about how the controversial Mount Pleasant data centre has been a data centre since before I was born www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/...

After walking from Rise FC to BCL and now the train I’m drunk trying “Super Great Pizza” at Joyce Collingwood for the first time. This is important to Vancouver pizza canon. It’s not great but it’s important to this neighbourhood.

So I’ve been to TSS Rovers and WFC2 at Swangard and knew it was a great venue. But it changes everything to be 80% full but still having amenities like standing on the fence just metres behind the back line. Rise FC is executing very well on game day experience.

Parallel 49 Trash Panda is the official non-lager of Women’s professional sports in Vancouver. #RiseFC #Goldeneyes

There’s a common complaint that there’s too much sports gambling advertising nowadays. I would submit that the worse, much more widespread addiction problem is food delivery platforms and we’d be better off if that advertising was curbed first.

Mid life crisis purchase: mini fridge

If anyone in the local beverage industry knows who is making this Rodney’s Oyster House Caesar RTD (regular or spicy), I’d love to know. It’s important for the West Coast to produce a competitive premium Caesar RTD because the best we have is Matt and Steve’s from Ontario, which I do recommend.

Welcome World (these signs just got an 17+ year refresh)

Third row Canadians tickets, hell yeah dude

The problem with getting to this spot at sunrise is it's so beautiful that I just sat there for 90 min crushing all the ciders I had. Which was too many. Then I drunk went to Costco at open.

Amber Alerts being treated as the same emergency alert priority as an earthquake, worth sending out at 1 am with no regional limiting, is just one example of how letting neurotic parent culture dictate public policy for everyone has had disastrous consequences and contributes to the low birth rate.
