After this past year, I'll take it

I blame Ken Sim. #zeromeanszero #vanpoli

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Merry Christmas! Hope you all got your cha-cha heels!

Beautiful Christmas/movie/community thread:

Grifters gonna grift... especially if the tax money is going to dry up. #bcpoli #onebc

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar

Same. As I'd there aren't already enough reasons, but then I spot a "Notorious"-era photo of Simon Lebon on the wall and a copy of Duran Duran's "Big Thing" record. Legend.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

I named my fists Laverne and Shirley cos they are going schlemiel your schlimazel.

Canada is releasing a set of stamps celebrating the nation's graphic novelists. These stamps feature Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, alongside some of their famous works.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Citizens speaking their mind against a careless, mean-spirited budget is giving our pearl-clutching mayor the vapours. #vanpoli #cov

Listening to Vancouver City Council just going through the motions of "listening" to its constituents. Glad 600+ people are speaking up, but Mayor Nipple and his cronies will just barrel through whatever they want. It's gross. csg001-harmony.sliq.net/00317/Harmon...

Watching Salt-N-Pepa performing at the #rockhall awards is pure f'ing joy.

Sim/ABC... lied? About crime statistics in the run up towards an election? Is it 2022 again? #vanpoli

Favorite stat: Dodgers 4-0 in 2025 World Series games started by George Springer.

I feel that whoever wins this game will have the upper hand going into the rest of the series. #analysis

Discovered that Cineplex is limiting weekday showings at Tinseltown in Vancouver to mid afternoon and early evenings only as of next week. Only full days on weekends and Tuesdays. I hope this is temporary, I do love an early matinee. #cineplex #vancouver #tinseltown

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Idiotically lost my wallet last night, only to have an amazingly nice couple show up at my door an hour later with it, fully intact, after finding it on the sidewalk. There's still light out there, people.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Today in the BC Legislature: #bcpoli

Age yourself with a movie you saw in a theatre as a kid.

What a weird way to find out RFK Jr is the Tylenol poisoner.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Coen Brothers' best film. A top 5 all time one for me.

If the mayor of #vancouver is so very serious about transparency about the income of public servants, he should let us see what his Bitcoin income has looked like since he has been in office. #vanpoli

if u see this quote with the energy u bring to blue sky

"I can't believe the calls were coming from inside the house," declared the folks absolutely sure the calls were coming from somewhere else in town.

This is Uno. He's a handsome devil. #timelinecleanse

Any other lyrics— don’t even try chronic town murmur or reckoning btw— just form vowels and syllables, and mean it

I just ate a pumpkin spice donut like I'm some white lady in a big scarf on a crisp autumn day.

The only thing to understand about the pronoun thing is that just because something is outside of your lived experience doesn’t mean it’s not real or the person telling you is mistaken or you are being inconvenienced

40 years ago today I wanted to watch #LiveAid but we had a family day trip to go on, so most of it I couldn't see until DECADES later. No VCR, no YouTube, just no way of seeing it.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

"I did not have sex with a couch, I had sex with couch cushions"

Quote this with a great TV father.

This has been a brutal week for musical geniuses.
