The Chair Company

Whenever CBC is on and Because News starts up, I quickly change the radio to anything else. Today on Co-op Radio I caught Faye from Momentum Canada talking about efforts to stop Danielle Smith from her authoritarian crusade against trans people. Donate here www.momentumcanada.net/donate?recru...

If he's going to rule by illegitemate decree, he should at least have to write them in limerick form

I'm glad he "level set" his misuse of "reactionary" while discussing our "core city." Its like listening to someone read a chain of predictive text input channel no problem at all that you are using the aforementioned vestibule and I will be a.....what a smug doofus

Meanwhile in Canada: The wealthy financier and the recruiter, seeking to destroy lives just off the coast

This holiday season, Don't buy a Tesla Don't buy Rosemary Rock Salt Bagels Don't use ChatGPT

The next Vancouver municipal election will be held Oct. 17, 2026.

Don't give your business to 🥯 🌿 DOGE MAGA COP CULT 🌿 🥯

A vision of our future under the mayor's austerity+police program. If only the police dept could issue building permits...

I am trying to describe the BC Ostrich Cult Convoy to our 12-week-old and he wont stop spitting up. This as we want to take him to see his 102-y-o great grandpa in Edmonton but AB is so backward that it soured North America's measels-free designation. And he can't get vaxxed till 6 months.

Lizza?...Nuzzi.......... Nuzzi?...Lizza............... Lizza? Nuzzi?.......

I think I'm pretty set on Avi Lewis for leader of the NDP

thinking about this quote from David Graeber’s Utopia of Rules and thankful for reporting like this

Virginia's next next dem governor is currently the sustainability officer aboard this boat or something

My theory is that all these serifs got chopped and mislabeled as apostrophes during the Sans Revolution of the 90s, and now autocorrect has some deal to liquidate their stocks through incorrectly changing the possessive pronoun "its" to "it's." Sort of like those late-season episodes of Foyle's War

This is when he was passing the motion to audit non-profit organizations in the Downtown Eastside why does Sim fear transparency of the city’s budget

I wonder if Brian Montague feels like one of those remote shepherds who values his civic duty and treks across vast expanses and mountain passes to cast a vote in the village for an austerity budget with $50 million (more) for the local cops

Feeling inspired by and grateful to my fellow Vancouver residents today for organizing en masse against a budget so sloppy and craven that anyone else would be fired for presenting it at their work.

Sean Orr has been summarizing every speaker (almost all in opposition) on Ken Sim and ABC's MAGA budget. $50 Million for cops, cuts for everyone else, and a property tax freeze. Absolute goons. Tacky greedy disingenuous incurious lazy cold-hearted leaches of late-stage capitalism

It's a bit of BS that we are just supposed to stop talking about the Edmund Fitzgerald, its wreck, and the song written about it, all because it's not Nov 10 2025 anymore

I was interviewed as part of the CBC & @antihate.ca's investigation that exposed a covert neo-Nazi gathering involving MMA gym owners, coaches and recruiters for fascist fight clubs. www.sportspolitika.news/p/mma-neo-na...

Why have a sustainability and climate dept when instead we can give money to cops and talk on podcasts about pouring pool water over a hypothetical coolant loop at a hypothetical computer that metaphorically mines "coins" with a Shiba Inu on them? ABC are not only dangerous, they're lazy too

The other cool thing about the Edmund Fitzgerald is that Baby Boomers, Silent Gen, heck even the Greatest Generation somehow had no hangups with her pronouns, even back in the 70s. She was a ship carrying iron ore, called Edmund, and she was the pride of the American side.

The best part of Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald is when Gord sings, "Whinsuppehrteimkheim..."

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

DULF saves lives. The three guilty verdicts are a huge slap in the face to a group that worked to prevent drug poisoning. Their prosecution is shameful and will lead to more deaths. All so Ken Sim can cosplay as a tough-on-crime leader.

Gutting the planning and sustainability depts and freezing the permitting dept - wtf. Those jobs are the fulcrum for our development, innovation, and int’l reputation. “Back to basics” just means going backward. Even our more dysfunctional past councils didn’t try to pull this #%^.

Oh wow, Obama did the "devotion to public service" thing too. Who is this for? The bank robber who gets a teller job can show great devotion to their 9-5, but they'll probably be remembered as a bank robbber. This is the "you'll still even be remembered well" part of manufactured consent.

shitfaced jamaal bowman saying this is so fuckin funny i feel so seen right now

I think that if you are wrong enough to pretend that Cheney's "dedication" to America was anything more than a special Washington assignment while employed at Haliburton, then you should also have to tweet your praise of Slobodan Milosevic for...also killing hundreds of thousands of civilians

Double rainbow in East Vancouver. And a chubclaw

Last Night, Explained By Ezra Klein

I hope Dick Cheney is now eternally queued up in a cold drizzle outside an awning-less COVID-era pharmacy where he must choose between holding his umbrella and staying dry but cold or pocketing his hand in his bomber jacket and slowly getting more damp.

This is just about what I'd expect from someone who still hasn't covered up that Henry Kissinger tattoo they got when they were blackout sober in 2015. Ignore genocide, insult intelligence of anyone under 45, conflate Zionism and Judaism, etc. youtu.be/PdPskPBd_78?...

At least Canada has the dulcet harmonies of Blue Rodeo to get us through November. While America has to settle for the indie dipthongs of Noah Kahan

the police want $17,000,000 more for THIS YEAR'S budget something shady is happening with this process cc @isabellazavarise.bsky.social @copevancouver.bsky.social @onecityvan.bsky.social council.vancouver.ca/20251105/doc...

Maybe the headline is that Angus Reid conducted a racist poll that inherently casts suspicion on any kind of reconciliation that goes beyond a paid day off and an orange shirt. And Chek news took the bait.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Blockading neighbourhood streets as civil disobedience would be one option... Amazing that Brian Montague, who doesn't live in Vancouver and claims he ran to promote public safety, can't approve a motion that would allow residents to block off streets on Halloween with the block party process.

We lost our baby Vern last year, and this event was one piece of the grieving process that helped us move through it. There are very few non-denominational and public opportunities to gather with others and honour the dead

Big gratitude for everyone taking photos, writing down names, documenting the fascists (in boots and ties) for when their Nazi experiment fails.

Kim Smoltz > John Smoltz

Modestly priced? Just because we're in a housing crisis, it doesn't make us saps. Stop pretending you care just so you can sell off our city and reward your crypto bros. Anything to Benefit Capitalists

OK, this @dogwoodbc.bsky.social video is pretty damn funny... youtube.com/shorts/hxU8c...

What if we have Eric Rahill run for Senate in Maine instead?

idk I for one think media shouldn't take down reasonable opinion pieces because they made a powerful political figure uncomfortable drugdatadecoded.ca/i-didnt-know...

They signed the papers on common ground, backstage at a Daniel Tosh show

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future. A future marked by scarcity and disaster. A future these people are accelerating. That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality. Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.
