It’s really impressive how much gore & viscera is in Alien: Earth & yet consistently the most repulsive element of the show is Boy Kavalier’s bare feet

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

For my American friends, a quick video about the differences in our two countries.

Exactly this.

I can't skip this shirt. I've gotta take the lead, do a runback to the Peace Love Canada site and take it out. 🤣

I don't think it's extreme to say that NATO should knock Russian drones & planes out of the sky if they cross into NATO airspace. Defending NATO countries from a belligerent Russia is literally the point of NATO.

My thoughts exactly.

man if another country blew up a civilian vehicle inside US waters you know the Marines would be arriving with 24 hours, but the US seems to think it's completely cool to do to other countries

An afternoon at Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver.

I’m worried it can still get stupider

In Canada, we're disappointed to have a neighbour run by a fascist piece of trash like Trump and his evil toadies like Hoekstra.

I feel bad for the generation of people handing over their ability to act creatively to AI… i don’t think they realize that creativity is a muscle, and when you don’t use it-

“The Canadian Medical Association calls on the Alberta government to refrain from invoking the notwithstanding clause to enact legislation that directly interferes in the clinical care of patients.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cma.ca/about-us/wha...

You knowe how yn legendes someone doth fynde a cursed sworde that bringeth ruin upon them but thei do not cast it asyde by cause *part of the curse* ys that thei believe it ys a powirful magic sworde that ys helpinge ynstead of hurtinge? Anywaye, Gen AI...

Like a typical conservative premier, Danielle Smith is quashing minority rights, though use of the heavy handed notwithstanding clause. Nothing riles her base up like attacking vulnerable minorities. #abpoli #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #daniellesmith #transrightsarehumanrights #notwithstandingclause

The U.S. Ambassador says it’s “hard to find Canadians passionate about the U.S.” We’re passionate about Canada. free speech, diversity & our own culture. Not being Trump’s 51st state. CBC is ours. Conservatives want it gone because it won’t bow to Trumpism. r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC

The Great Escape is one of the most famous movies from the 1960s. Based off a true story, the film greatly exaggerated American involvement. In reality, one of the main figures of the escape was Canadian, along with the 150 Canadians who assisted. This is the story. 🧵 1/12

The Disney parodies… holy shit

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Exactly this.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

I remember being at the University of Manitoba for the first time when Mr. Dressup ended and Coombs did a cross-country farewell tour. He spoke to a huge crowd in one of the halls, and when hundreds took turn at the Q&A mic to thank him it reduced him to tears.

Short thread: The angle this article is missing is that, yes, Canadians are a pragmatic people, but when America has demonstrated itself to be economically and politically hostile, and when the values demonstrated by its government are heinous to most Canadians... 1/2 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

TIMELINE CLEANSER

As a former reporter and anchor, I can say @brittlestar.com's not wrong.

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

Are we really that surprised? I mean, Disney's produced and aired Alien: Earth, a show that's in large part about how despicable big corporations can be, and now the Mouse is behaving terribly to suck-up to monsters. Maybe the show is just its way of fessing-up to its own monstrousness.

For absent friends. Hit me harder than I expected.

Colleague: What's your teaching superpower? Me: For good or evil? Superhero power: Lighting up any room w/ shockingly bright aloha shirts every Friday. Supervillain power: Clearing-out the upstairs hallways by microwaving fish at lunch. (Yeah, I'm that guy.) Colleague: ... Me: Kneel before Zod. 🤣

After 31 years of travel & regular use, my Tilley Endurables T3 hat is finally wearing through. Sadly, to get a replacement through their lifetime guarantee, I've been forced to cut the crown off and take a photo. Feels like it should be buried at a crossroads at midnight with "Taps" playing softly.

As if we didn't need even more evidence that AI platforms are a plague upon humanity... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Premier Smith touts new citizenship markers on driver’s licenses and provincial IDs as means of preserving “election integrity” and “streamlining services.” Those justifications aren't borne out by evidence, leading critics to conclude there's an ulterior motive. @jaredwesley.ca writes. #abpoli

I've turned away from Ben & Jerry's in favour of Kawartha Lakes and Chapman's ice cream. Partly from elbows-up support for Canadian brands (no, don't lecture me about Stony Creek making B&J's in Cda), partly b/c they taste better, but also b/c since going corporate, B&J's seems soulless & boring.

Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. It's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. Some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...

Listening to the latest epi of @realmsunknown.bsky.social discussing the Emmys and how spec-fic normally fares at big Hollywood awards shows, and @alicefraser.bsky.social is typically hilariously incisive in noting "I think the things that win have a hint of 'eating your vegetables' about them..."

For true innovacioun, we neede poetrye, philosophy, ethics, & the studye of the diversitye of historyes & literatures & languages. We neede to fynde newe wayes of wearinge our heartes, new dreames of the future. Technologye alone will create nothing but wayes of makinge old injustices happen faster.

I could never read “Love You Forever” to my children without tears. Robert Munsch is a Canadian icon, who has requested and been granted MAID due to dementia. Everyone I know who has requested MAID, has done so with dignity and the love of their families. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Something strange is going on in my condo development: The guy in the unit across the courtyard who's kept his Christmas tree up and lit it every night without fail has tonight failed to light it! This place has become a little less weird.
