Whoever said, "You can never have too many books" never had to move.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

We're all playing Russian roulette at this point.

Maybe this is too cynical, but I'm waiting for the Felony Fuhrer to order Disney to remove Andor from its library, or to use AI to completely change it to make the Empire the good guys. And for the Mouse to comply.

How do we have to wait three years between seasons of Netflix shows but they can just drop a straight coup d’etat with barely a teaser trailer.

How are the options to sign up for your premium service only “yes please” or “no Thankyou” and not “fuck you for degrading your base service in order to try to force me into paying for an ever receding horizon of un-enshittified existence”

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Witty fucker! 😂👍🏼

Wait for it.

The rules of international relations were set in an earlier time & are outdated. New rules! Direct democracy no nation states; anyone anywhere can vote for any government via polls on x. You earn extra votes through likes on Insta. The most powerful person in the world is a 6yo Tik Tok influencer

I guess the world we live in now is where we’ll find out if your country’s been invaded and the government overthrown via screenshots an aunt texts to the family WhatsApp group?

A true statement in any democracy.

Take. My. Money.

Our resident great blue heron has come slouching 'round this afternoon. Dude looks like he was up waaaaaay too late on New Year's Eve partying too hard.

Mom finally came-to, so after visiting her at the hospital, my wife and I decompressed by spending a couple of hours of New Year's Eve walking under the lights at Van Dusen Gardens. Happy New Year, everyone! As for 2025, it can go eat a bag of used kitty litter. Fingers crossed for '26.

I’ve heard that some believe that whatever you’re doing on New Year’s Eve you’ll be doing for the rest of the year. So that’s me booked for a year of screaming at the top of my lungs, “Fuck You 2025 and all y’all assholes who starred in it.”

Well, 2025 is trying to kick me in the nards one last time: Mom was taken to hospital today in a coma. On top of everything else that happened to our family this year. Fuck you, 2025. Just fuck you.

This pretty much sums-up most of the New Year's Eve parties I've been to - except I would add: Volunteer as the designated driver and after getting a bunch of drunks home safely being left with 3 of them who beg you to drive them around the city at 3am looking for a pizza place that's still open.

Congratulations to @raffic.bsky.social on the promotion to Companion of the Order of Canada! Well deserved! Let us all sing a few rounds of "Down by the bay" in celebration! www.gg.ca/en/appointme...

UK Stranger Things. The exact same plot but it’s five seasons of them spitting in Adidas tracksuits and telling upside down things to fuck off.

Winnipeg's Yvonne Brill changed humanity's future in space when she invented the Electrothermal Hydrazine Thruster. Her invention keeps satellites and spacecraft in orbit. She also worked on the Apollo program and the Space Shuttles. This is her story. 🧵 1/10

Out in the East Ladner farmlands, old St. Stephen's United Church stands against the dark sky underlit with an eerie purple glow from irresponsible, cheap, industrial greenhouses.

All that fuzzball needs is a mullet.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Having just read Charles Dickens' short story "The Haunted House," I guess my job would be as a member of the Victorian idle rich traveling the country as a paranormal investigator.

Welcome To The Week Between Christmas And New Year's

Semiotic paradox alert!

Good of them to warn us not to get TOO friendly with him! He was naughty, not nice, but he's coming to town anyway.

Nothing could better sum up where we are as a culture

“The biometric entry and exit system is not a surveillance program,” the US Department of Homeland Security s̶a̶i̶d̶ lied. "DHS will retain this personal data for up to 75 years." Coolcoolcoolcool. Even more reasons not to visit the US ever again, I guess.

Christmas is about spending time with loved ones, not about things, but when a loved one gets you a thing you will absolutely love, that's pretty nice. For instance, my wife got me this dragon-shaped teapot which makes me very happy. And caffeinated.

I don't know what I'd call it, but the city planning department says it has to be in a Neutral Zone. 😁

I shouldn't laugh, but imagine your ass being haunted?
