IKEA is absolutely going to pass this tariff tax on to the consumer. www.cbc.ca/news/world/n...

Waaaaaalnut! #woodworking #cabinetry #joinery

I mean I bet this post is doing exactly what it was meant to do- farm some outrage and get the clicks.

“It’s just like any other political movement. It takes sustained pressure, and it takes a lot of voices [...] sending emails to your city councillor [and MP], asking for a meeting [...] all of those little acts that don’t take a ton of effort accumulate into the pressure we need for change.”

And honestly, this is more about a guy who loves to teach- this is same energy Bill Nye brings to science education, or Junkyard Wars or Mythbusters brought to explaining engineering concepts for folks whose last science or math lesson was in high school. And this is why Youtube is so good.

I mean the tip isn't wrong, but for most applications in the real world, this is overkill. But also time to get me a threaded rod.

go off, entertainment weekly!

ngl, bikes. amirite?

Last week ABC's Brian Montague engaged in some seriously unprofessional conduct at city council. This is just a clip of a larger series of interruptions. This sorts of bullying shouldn't be tolerated in civic business.

Treating train stations like airports is so incredibly dumb.

How many PhDs does it take...

I mean I get why developers of big strip malls like this on marine way put the bike racks here, but this is fundamentally a bad location simply because it’s nowhere near entrances. If I wanted to lock up my bike and go to the staples, that becomes close to a kilometre walk. #bikeyvr #activemobility

i've been thinking a lot about the historical record on this and how hard it will be to communicate that this guy was a fucking nobody

idk if disney/sinclair/nexstar understand how bad they fucked up by angering the disney influencers. i don’t fear god or kpop stans but i do fear disney adults.

No, but Disney influencers do.

If you’re not learning you’re doing it wrong.

If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.

Dutch late night TV has its take

US Ambassador threatens to tariff, annex, and bomb Canada if anti-American sentiment doesn't improve

Back in the Internet olden days, on September 19th we’d celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day. And we here at LoadingReadyRun made an educational film to help folks out. Enjoy our 19 year old video, How to Talk Like a Pirate 🏴‍☠️🙂 youtu.be/RzkQC0e91Nc

How can we fix this spot? A super easy one would be speed & red light cameras. Indeed, it's one of the spots that we called for the City to have one, before Brian Montague and ABC voted instead for "more study" (still waiting on those studies). (3/4) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Addendum to the disney adult post- Start to see how the disney influences react. support the ones that call this out, and call out the ones that don't.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

It is astonishing to watch a generation that had literally everything handed to them try to take everything away with them as they pass.

No seriously, if you want to wear the flag, move here and enjoy the benefits of only slightly higher taxes, but not being afraid of going to the ER and going bankrupt. Odds are there’s a job waiting for you here.

Name three Roch Voisine songs. That’s just hard mode right there.

We share the streets with drivers willing to jump an open drawbridge.

Please write in to council in support, and if you can, sign up to speak! The deadline is tomorrow as the motion comes to council Wednesday. It's motion #4 "Creating Connections: Advancing a Transformative Active Transportation Pathway in South Vancouver", here: council.vancouver.ca/20250917/psp...

These improvements will connect Vancouver to the Canada Line bridge into Richmond, and onwards to Burnaby and New West. It'll also provide much needed greenspace to Marine Gateway residents. You can read the full motion here: (2/3) council.vancouver.ca/20250917/doc...

Everyone that rides through here knows that the connection between the Arbutus Greenway and Kent sucks. No wayfinding, steep hills, parking lots, 6-lane arterials... The good news is a motion from @mikeklassen.bsky.social aims to fix this! Along with much needed improvements on Kent. (1/3)

It’s “I can legally have a fire in my fireplace” season!

I don’t think any theatre group, provided they have independent artistic direction would have a problem if at the beginning of the show the director or producer came out and said “thanks to bob richguy, we are able to pay a living wage to our team of technicians, designers and actors, thanks Bob!”

To be honest, I only know who she is because I was a board op for a show about her in 2007. She was a piece of work, and was rightly blacklisted.

The entire ABC Vancouver term has been about delaying any progress on things that would actually get the city moving more efficiently.

Hey kids, don’t be a Leni Riefenstahl. No matter what they offer you.

Stop reading the news and normalize lounging inside “Visiona 2” by Verner Panton at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1970.

Is this environmental storytelling?

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

you know what? fuck it. theremin mode. github.com/samhenrigold...

And the driver gets to determine that. Not me the pedestrian, not the driver behind them honking at them without all the information and definitely not you. They don't have to go- at worst it slows the driver behind by a few seconds. Oooooh nooooo! Honking isn't an appropriate response.

Your friendly reminder that you don’t have to turn right on a red if you don’t want to, even if it’s clear. Even if the guy behind you is laying on the horn.

Well that didn’t happen.

I don’t know how ABC Vancouver is going to fund and build it in any reasonable amount of time, but this would be amazing. Also, they’re entirely going to use this to push back upgrades to Kent, aren’t they? #bikeyvr #vanpoli council.vancouver.ca/20250917/doc...

I’m sure all reactions to this news will be balanced and measured.

Also of course I forgot to put words in this post to make it make sense. I’m glad folks are getting the gist of it though.

Amazing. I’m so glad public space is being used to fund Rowling’s legal fights. Oh wait. No I’m not. The defence of “we didn’t know” as she’s been against trans rights for the better part of a decade. At best that’s the case, at worse staff didn’t know or care. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social I just don’t get how staff didn’t know that Rowling has so much control over her IP, and her relationship to the issue.
