like a butterfly dropping into its grave, of course. a phrase we’ve all used and a very normal, relatable kind of image that conveys clear meaning. i’m always saying this. so beautiful, like a delicate butterfly croaking mid-air and gently floating into a tiny open bug grave at the insect cemetery.

This council: life saving overdose prevention? Nah. Life saving cooling kits? Nah. Food delivery robots flooding our sidewalks? Oh heck yeah dude

News release: @guyfelicella.bsky.social returning proclamation awarded to him by Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim after Sim and ABC councillors’ move to block downtown OPS. “Not worth the paper it’s printed on.”

An Edmonton city councillor says he and his team are helping a woman facing intimate partner violence relocate with her children after her address was leaked in an alleged privacy breach by a separatist group.

Gen Z has rediscovered the Flintstones & is realizing how dystopian the America of today is compared to 2 million years ago "Watching The Flintstones... has solidified my belief that I would have likely been happier working in a quarry as a brontosaurus operator."

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

One tiny thing you can do to resist the scourge of dead/fake “third places” is to not spend your money anywhere that doesn’t have a public bathroom. Recognize these are hostile businesses showing up to your neighborhood to squeeze it for cash and give nothing of value back.

love the goth girls at the vape store who compliment my greasy bangs. way better than that other vape store

Fantastic, amazing thread about Combahee River Collective. 🧵

NOT ENOUGH RESTAURANTS FAIL WITHIN A YEAR

The Doug Ford gov't has passed its 2026 budget bill, which officially removes Ontario's right to know. How he governs, why decisions get made—we'll never know. The same bill consolidates conservation authorities. That's your democracy & your drinking water being impacted #onpoli

as a proud member of the jimmy fallon hate club since SNL, watching him on the tonite show (this last decade especially) has been a true horror “It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover.”

"Fallon is the court jester of the Anthropocene, a figure who invites us to watch celebrities play parlor games on stage while the air outside the studio begins to smell of tear gas and smoke." Holy shit, this is 🔥 writing and analysis.

AI is never going to break your heart and most of these dunce geniuses aren’t human enough to even understand why that’s something you should want.

“get a real job” “why won’t you pay for my airplane 😭”

I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters. But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

couldn’t justify a trip out to ontario this year so we booked a little island cottage where we will spend the entire week writing & honestly this should have been the plan from the beginning

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

rather than scroll through all my videos & turn this off one post at a time, i decided to go through all my videos and delete them, one post at a time

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Thread. If it doesn't have a librarian, it's not a library but a warehouse for books.

Going to be so funny watching people try and act like this never happened one day

The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

you know what, fuck it, why not

Huge BDS win on cultural front Giller Prize is no longer partnered w Indigo Books, Azrieli Foundation & Scotiabank In 2023, comrades were arrested protesting the Giller. Then, thousands of writers & book workers refused participation. Giller has now separated from all genocide-invested sponsors.

God, I was just thinking about how they better be using American-made steel to build the illegal ballroom that sucks

my husband is in an ongoing snail-mail war with the jehovahs witness freaks who keep mailing us their sad handwritten letters and i for one am here for it

at least i can finally confirm i’ll never strategically vote liberal again for as long as i’ll live (last time was first round trudeau)

There's levels as to why this is so great but let the following not be lost on us: Here was a man who — upset that society failed him — didn't take his anger out on women and children, but fucked up the property of the people who caused his suffering. Men punching up >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

This is what enlightened centrism gets you. It doesn't make the right more left wing: it makes your entire party more far right

"Every weekend, there’s kids here at The Globe going crazy,” Says Fin Edwards who books shows at The Globe Live Studio. “There’s a ton of different bands and the kids are starting bands now too.”

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction. It’s abuser behaviour.

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.
