Ken Sim's latest sycophantic street interview is literally with the Membership Sales Manager at a gym that allegedly has a reputation for making it difficult and expensive to cancel. But hey, more cops! Deleted and reposted for typos www.facebook.com/reel/1390091...

Would have been glicer if this were the SNL goof introducing Justin

Personally, I don't like that the Liberals are running a conservative government that's openly selling out the country to Big Oil and Big Tech. But that's because I'm actually paying attention and not mindlessly trusting daddy banker because he seems boring and therefore competent.

A fun thing is to replace "carbon capture" with "magic" when politicians bring it up in a news interview or speech

If I lived in the states I'd be more upset that Alan Hawko's "St. Pierre" was wafting over the border. Not to mention Because News and The Debators (except when Martha Chavez is on)

Applying this to my day-to-day, does this mean he could successfully chase, tackle, and eat anyone on earth?

I'm in that zesty hour between buying someone's "my plans changed" Folk Festival tickets online and trying to redeem them with some random QR code email that may or may not be bunk.

I'm so glad that people who wear clothes are keeping the word Stussy in some part of my head until I die one day

Can someone please offer this guy a well-paying job at a preowned Saturn dealership where he can be the smartest guy in the office, & then we can all move on? Giving him political power was so clearly a mistake. @hedyfry.bsky.social @gregorrobertson.bsky.social does this resonate? Is anybody there?

It'd be funny if Donald Fagen dropped his brow a little and wrote an inside-baseball ballad of Ramblegate after Amy Helm and the feuding investors take each other to court

Friends don't let friends buy Ken Sim's Rosemary Rocksalt bagels

I feel like half of CBC reporters are interviewing Hudson News bestsellers about "how can AI agents help develop smart cities?", and the other half are dog-whistle skeeting about how we should probably bl*w up pipelines and behead monarchs at this point.

I'd have a lot more sympathy for Carney having to deal with Trump if he weren't elected specifically to deal with Trump.

The thing about dancing on graves of fascists is that it compacts the soil and helps the cemetery workers who would otherwise have to tamp it down and possibly throw their backs out

Reminds me of the scene in Rebel Without a Cause when James Dean and his bully eat potato salad and Sysco burgers at the Griffith Park Observatory

@pftompkins.bsky.social I sing the Mr. Show "we are friends again" song to my little lad when he is in his high chair (especially when he spits on my floor) and it's the most fun ever. He cackles like a mad man.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

Perhaps while we're offering condolences to Saudi Arabia following the attack on a Saudi ship in the Strait of Hormuz, we can offer the same to the family and fiancé of Jamal Khashoggi. Just saying.

I want a new Jason Statham movie where he's ex-TJB. At some point he has to kill some AI music producer with a trombone. Herb Alpert has a cameo as a bellhop

I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to So I called up Mitch McConnell one time Just to hear a voice of some kind "When you hear the beep It will be three o'clock" He said that for 20 minutes And I hung up. -Bob Dylan

I was never a fan of Platner, but after seeing the way he's stepped down with extreme vitriol and really leaned into his sense of personal outrage at not being given the immense power he felt he was entitled to, I am wondering if maybe I misjudged him.

This is so brazen and crooked. TLDR: "We like the idea of another no-bid contract. We don't need to itemize anything. Let's go jetskiing"

Re. Platner. This seemed inevitable. I have a friend named Dave who lives in Orono. He works construction and I think the most controversial thing he ever did while drunk was rip his shirt off and sing along when the Walking In Memphis chorus came on the radio. I nominate Dave

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

I see that R-C/CBC not identifying these MPs really allowed them to pressure the PM on his environmental backslide. Well done everyone.

250 years and they still don't want to pay their taxes

We need Michael Bolton right now

It's so weird to me that I have no kids and nevertheless care more about the future than people who have kids and grandkids who are actually going to have to live there. How is my general concern so much stronger than their love for actual human beings who already exist? How empty are these fucks?

My favourite part of the @timheidecker.bsky.social @theonion.com InfoWars debut is when 17-year-old Phil Braun says he mainly listens to Train

Mark Carney just cancelled his Canada Day plans due to extreme weather events caused by climate change

From the CBC Q interview, you'd think this was a tale unearthed by Tillie Walden. Podcast culture certainly wasn't the first instance, but there sure are a lot of people adapting secondary sources and accepting praise for primary research. How hard would it be to call it an adapted graphic novel?

Anti-trans bigotry is so pointless, evil, manufactured, and disqualifying. Any Democrat who decides this is ground we can cede is scum. Gavin Newsom should never have a chance at the presidency

it's so easy to say nothing. for most people, anyway but instead we have city councillors chiding their constituents for engaging in democracy, all while spreading misinformation using a 19th century depiction of the horrific, public electrocution death of NYC telegraph lineman John Feeks

Ok but how about Pie R² discourse am I right? #UBC #AMS #Nancy #Warren #Rick #SUB

My dad raised me to believe that the great rift of the late 1960s centered around whether you thought David Clayton-Thomas made Blood Sweat and Tears better or whether he made it square. And I feel like my dad prides himself on his ability to appreciate both the Al Kooper years and the DCT years.

🎶 The mall that Obama kept filtered died....call it blue-green hue (blue green hue..) 🎶

Did anyone buy the Dude Lemonade on Saturday? I missed it by a day and am very curious.

@redeyeradio.bsky.social some hometown Vermont friends are raising money for their own 100.5 community radio station in Richmond VT. 24 hr fundraising drive is on right now with a great internet livestream

The Onion makes it all very easy and their web interface designer offers words of encouragement throughout the clicking and filling-in experience. I never once felt abandoned in my gift-giving journey. Rather, I felt held, supported, and loved, just as I do from my dear father.

This is why a one-year pause on datacentre builds in the city of Hamilton makes sense. Without loopholes or exceptions. A snippet from my comments to #HamOnt city council earlier this week.

Governments are chasing AI investment, even as their publics turn against the technology and the data centers that power it. Canada’s Mark Carney has chosen a shameless approach: to cast the opposition as a lack of “literacy” as he sets out to (re)educate Canadians about the benefits of AI.

Vancouver World Cup journalism reminds me of American Iraq War journalism -- able to portray both sides, if unevenly, right up until it starts. But when the first ball is kicked / shot is fired, we are supposed to bathe in the spirit / support the troops.

It's here

Would @gregorrobertson.bsky.social fight for a happy planet -- opposing LNG, a surveillance state, and AI expansion -- if it meant alienating his boss?

BREAKING: Mayor Ken Sim's ABC majority voted not to reduce speed limits on major roads, despite 93% of all road fatalities in Vancouver happening on arterials. This was one of the most important Near-Term Actions in the entire plan, because roads will never be safe until people drive at safe speeds.

@seanorr.bsky.social @lucymaloney.bsky.social @ptfry.bsky.social @brenttoderian.bsky.social to save me from becoming the guy who yammers at everyone I meet about how people are now mulching w/ shredded tire garbage, can we agree this needs to be immediately dumped like DDT, lawn darts, & asbestos?

Canadian Tire literally sells shredded tires as mulch. I've seen them in two gardens in the last week. What a fucked up thing to market. Shredded tires just working their way into the soil. And people think they're doing a good thing because they say 100% recycled.

Zoran / Nithya will be the best friendly NY/LA rivalry since Dan / Eagles
