A lotta activists, especially those who work in food and drinks, conveniently forget the I in BIPOC is for Indigenous. Folks should understand that why that conversation makes them uncomfortable and look at the root cause of the discomfort.

David Frum's latest anti-Native rights piece in the Atlantic is so misinformed, so carelessly put together that he confused the band number with the population. Kwikwetlem is band code 560 - an administrative number from ISC. The population is 153. 1

Death Walks with Fancy Dogs

I am, of course, well known for my my love of beavers. This lil guy was out and about in Mimico (south Etobicoke) this morning.

After reading The Raven a high school classmate asked if poetry existed before Edgar Allen Poe, and what did they call it?

It’s time to share my favourite bread video just in time for last minute Christmas baking.

Yo that's goatse

Tired: arguments over dry or gooey butter tarts. Wired: arguments over crowns or no crowns.

It’s apparently the season where runners figure they’ll take up triathlon, hit the pool, and can’t figure out why an old, fat asthmatic guy can lap them.

Vaccinations work! Australia has got NO CERVICAL CANCER since they began giving the HPV vaccine!

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Any scientists have overlapping areas of interest in art and covid mitigation? Asking for a friend. (It's me) 🤞🏻✨ Please share and DMs open 🙏🏻✨

Liquid Glass fucking sucks. Even I f you dial it back, you end up with UX bullshit like black text on a dark grey background for shit like the autofill feature for .ca / .com in Safari.

For largely selfish reasons, I want this to work out. Having an incurable leukaemia (technically, a B cell lymphoma, there’s overlap), my future is a likely death from sepsis once treatments stop working. Note! I’m not in imminent peril. CLL is just my snail.

A recent meeting named, the “Un-Making of Métis Claims” in Ontario drew a sold-out crowd. The forum had First Nations claiming several communities represented by the Métis Nation of Ontario are not legitimate.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

People still tell me that beer is 99% asshole free. Either the remaining 1% are are, quite simply, the worst people you’ve met, or beer still has systemic problems the industry ignores. Trigger warning: this is really bad.

Rob Reiner did the legwork campaigning for gay rights. RIP.

The @metisnationon.bsky.social and MNC are, mind you, doing a pretty good job of erasing themselves so …

Speaking of how folks don’t quite get who the Red River Métis are, the land acknowledgment at my local (Toronto) Loblaws is almost 2000km wrong.

My kid’s torbie has grown so much winter floof, she can almost completely hide her legs and tail.

NOMEANSNO IS ON APPLE MUSIC HOLY FUCK!!!

Habs rookie goalies to make their first career NHL start vs the Pittsburgh Penguins: • Ken Dryden: March 14, 1971 • Patrick Roy: October 10, 1985 • Carey Price: October 10, 2007 • Jacob Fowler: December 11, 2025

I’ve made some great decisions in my life, like marrying Jen. I’ve also had moments of horrifyingly poor judgement like making fermented California Reaper hot sauce.

The Beaverton writers have apparently sat in on the same sales meetings I have* *Am composing this while attending the Xmas party thrown by our LCBO rep, drinking an IPA so I am absolutely the target audience for this article

We have two wee dragons* that don’t really do daylight. This one came out while I was adding some bedding to the vivarium. She was totally done with me disturbing her sleep. * crested geckos

Fuck Labour

I miss the Internet of 20 years ago where I could search for a tech problem, almost immediately find the answer to said problem in some little blog, and get on with my day. Now it’s “sift through 20 nearly identical sites that each have 4000 words and 5 video ads and have nothing relevant”.

Girl Guides of Canada has made a statement, likely in response to the cowardly decisions of Girlguiding UK. 🏳️‍⚧️

My wife: I’ve been hearing a lot about chives recently. Any idea what’s up with that? Me:

$150,000 in damages per pirated work would be just about right, IME.

KW friends! One more screening of What Ales Us? before the end of the year. My pals at Short Finger Brewing will be hosting it on Sunday, December 14th. Event starts at 1.30pm. bdiversitygroup.com/upcoming-eve...

My hot take about GDT’s Frankenstein adaptation is that Mary Shelley would go: Hol’ up, I’m more famous than Percy in the 21st Century?

Receipts for LakotaScam giving white people permission to call him r*dskin. He even owned one of their shirts.

A decades-long fight ramps up in Grassy Narrows as mercury poisoning threatens its water, people and way of life.

As I've said in interviews, I don't know King's work. I didn't take notice of him until I heard back channel accounts that he was not actually Cherokee. This audio has a clip of King's CBC Massey Lecture. He sounds like AI, elegant but vacuous. Like AI, he wasn't speaking from lived experience.

This energy is why, in my head canon, Tennant should play Sam Vimes. My god, just watching him stand up for Cheery would be fucking glorious. Watching him realize he also has to show up for Otto because it’s the same hatred aimed at both people would be incredible.

"The literary icon who isn't Indigenous after all" CBC's The Current, yesterday, Nov 27, 2025. Drew Hayden Taylor and I interviewed on Thomas King.

Raccoon Centipede is, canonically, one of Santa’s creations and, therefore, part of Christmas lore.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you have seen: The Beatnigs opening for Billy Bragg Neil Young and Crazy Horse Nick Lowe opening for Costello and the Attractions Television NoMeansNo

The absolutely awesome Canadian author, Robert J. Sawyer has written quite a few Indigenous characters into his books. He has even waxed philosophical about Indigenous relationships to land without ever needing to present himself as Indigenous. (apihtawikosisan.com/2012/01/ques...)

Lmao

Some people have heirloom tree toppers passed down through the generations. We have a Weeping Angel plushy from Hot Topic because we’re honestly just kinda’ tacky.

Big yawn!
