Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

I’ve been informed that many people have been turned away.

I know Jody Vance is out taking pictures of an empty Kits Pool at 2:30pm on an overcast Tuesday; but has anybody actually been turned away from the pool?

I worked on an affordable housing project. The construction budget was $20M of which $1M (5%) was for road improvements nearby. Why am I bringing this up? Because $60M sounds like a lot, but for Meta (valued at $1.6T) it’s next to nothing. If an affordable housing project can pay 5%, so can Meta.

This made me think of the guy who peed in the coffee (tea?) cup.

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

Sadly, AI-Ken would never stand up for Vancouver like this.

I’m anxious to see the RFQ.

Let’s retire the term “clean lines” which is simplistic and minimizing and replace it with what it actually is, “exacting design detailing.” You don’t accidentally get clean lines, somebody did a fuck ton of work to make it look like that

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

I’m watching the “Live Win Probability” slowly shift from Switzerland win to Draw. 🇨🇦⚽️🇨🇦

I am not watching the game, but all the men who sit near me are…so I get to experience the joy without the stress. 🇨🇦⚽️

I assume a bunch of these people joined because the invitation stroked their ego.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

The NHL will no longer be shown on CBC. In its place, CBC will launch a new Saturday night prime time show on CBC and streaming on CBC Gem, featuring Canadian athletes competing at home and at the biggest events around the world.

Happy birthday @corinnal.bsky.social! Hope you’re having a great day!

And he still can’t win his father’s approval.

Telling text scammers to eat shit and get bent, because that’s the kind of day it is.

Do people still have weighted blankets?

@brenttoderian.bsky.social FYI

Are the AI chatbots allowed to use social media?

It’s a bold move to use AI to make an attack ad when your party’s leader is about as unpopular as AI.

Wait a second… The US population is 8x Canada’s population but they only added 1.9x as many jobs in May.

So many fitstagram influencers telling me what to do to build muscle, to become stronger. None of them talking about how to develop my brain, how to build mental fortitude.

Next week there’ll be a news piece with Hoekstra claiming that he doesn’t understand the animosity of Canadians.

At long last, there will be justice for every man in America who was very unfairly told no,” said the president, noting that all heterosexual males could claim up to $5 million each by documenting abuses such as being denied a second date

The only appropriate response to “tell me about the crystals” is “oh, I grew them myself using sugar and water and food colouring when I was doing a grade three science experiment. My mom threw them out decades ago.” Yes, I’m 4 days late to this travesty.

Closely related to the issue of "tech literacy" being an unclear measure that typically prioritizes instrumental knowledge over contextual knowledge

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

While I support the plan for free swimming lessons, I thought the biggest issue was lack of instructors/lifeguards. I'm not sure how free swimming lessons solves that. What about free lifeguard training?

Hoping for rain on Friday so I can swim in an empty Second Beach pool.

Soft launch of my run coaching service resiliencerunco.ca

Repost with the Russian agent that spies on your posts.

I need to do better alt text. I tend to stop at describing what the source photo is, and I don’t describe what’s in the photo.

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

Reminding myself that my sketchbook is for me only. But also reminding myself that improving my sketching and painting takes focus and effort.

Are we thinking the anti-vaxxers are going to have hantavirus parties?

I have nearly unlimited (and often early) access to all the AI, and my #1 productivity unlock of the past year has been to revert to taking handwritten notes. I even re-learned cursive to make it faster.

I expect we will eventually learn that the decision to not send the women’s pursuit cycling team to the Olympics was made by AI.

Surely there’s a better use for a piece of land within +/-400m of a skytrain station.

this looks like an extra tough captcha test

Spent my morning commute thinking about people who buy fake luxury products…and wondering why. Nobody believes you bought an $1,800 tote bag. Why not just buy a nicely designed bag that you can afford?

Okay, but what if like all the Conservative Party MPs and a good chunk of the membership decided to start a new party.

Signs of my running progress: I can now sprint for the bus in plain shoes and it doesn’t feel like my tibia is going to snap in half.

Definitely a thing you do when you have a healthy relationship to alcohol.

Long form census asking what an architect does. Good question…we herd cats and babysit adults.

3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Moving forward in the most inefficient and tiring way.

When your partner encourages you to sign up for half marathon because he says you can handle it and so you but then you’re sick for 3 weeks and then you’re not so sure it’s a great idea.

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social I mean there’s one thing they always say in construction, “projects will cost less in the future.” I guess cost escalation just doesn’t exist in BC.
