I wanted to share this op-ed I have written that discusses the dangerous rise in antisemitism. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/10/04/d...

In The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift is doing more to romanticize traditional marriage than the religious right has done in the last 4 decades combined. In this essay, I will… #TLOAS #TaylorSwift

Microsoft on the earnings call: "Our forecasts suggest that this new offering should drive growth next quarter of... uh, nine million percent?"

As a younger engineer I was initially surprised by the persistent presence of military folks in energy efficiency and climate change circles, but over time it became more clear - if you have a facility that has to keep running in all extreme conditions, or has to keep running when cut off from 1/3

Thankful for all those who shared at the pipe ceremony today at Oodena - I was struck by the way so many speakers held together the reality of harm and active hope for the future. #EveryChildMatters

I’m becoming more and more concerned that people at high levels of public discussion cannot identify the difference between a genuinely viral conversation vs a bunch of bots making noise.

Flu and COVID shots done for the season - Osborne and River Shoppers Drug Mart has their vaccine clinic running, we just walked in and were out in 20 👌🏼 Lots on the to-do list today, good to have that checked off! #Winnipeg

Who’s up for doing shots this weekend? Let’s get wild, Winnipeg

Portland? Did I miss a war in Portland?

Our neighbours will know that we are Christians • not by our theology • not by our “rightness” • not by how we debate • not by how we convince others of their sinfulness But they will know we are Christians by our love

Ah yes, as we all know, the manufacturing of low-cost bathroom vanities has obvious implications for national security.

Anyone know what time the rapture is coming? I’m planning on doing a Marvel superhero landing pose right before it, and the timing is critical.

Seems like there’s a lot going on in the world to stir us up these days. It’s good to have a firm foundation. I think it’s worth sharing that a fundamental Christian conviction is that all people bear the image of God.

Public comms on vaccine availability in #Manitoba is definitely lacking this year, but appointments in various pharmacy online platforms are starting to pop up. Some out there for shoppers, too.

Canada moving together with Australia and the UK today - interesting to do this as independent announcements rather than a joint statement.

That’s a bigger result than I would have thought. Man.

I was already at a conference earlier this year where US gov researchers weren’t permitted to present. There are a number of places where Canadian and US systems are tightly intertwined - assuming folks on both sides of the border can work together freely. If those systems grind to a halt (1/2)

The geopolitical shifts are happening fast, aren’t they? Yikes yikes yikes

The crab apple jelly is incredible

Jazzed about how this crabapple jelly is coming along

One of the strangest things about this time is that I can’t recall Memphis being in the news for anything significant in ages. I’ve been there before, some years ago, and it was nice enough. Nothing to write home about. But I don’t think I could tell you offhand what crisis is plausibly happening.

So the new federal housing announcement named #Winnipeg as one of 6 cities for the first wave of factory-built homes on existing federal land as part of “affordable mixed-income communities.” Only so many options for federal land to be developed into housing here - maybe part of Naawi-Oodena?

Will be an important program for so many in Canada - hoping they get the details (mostly) right here!

This is a great day on this app, you guys

Evan Dunfee of Canada wins the gold medal in the mens 35km race walk at the World Athletics championships. Caio Bonfim of Brazil gets the silver and Hayato Katsuki of Japan gets the bronze

Uh oh

This is why I love a short form text based social media platform. We’re all just going to post through it, guys.

There are some kinds of political action I don’t like - violence, vandalism, silencing opposing views. But people who are influential in setting the stage have to be aware that whatever is legitimate as political expression for some is understood as valid political expression for everyone.

It’s always a good time to be able to understand what’s true and who to trust. Grounding ourselves in what is real is key when there’s so much misinformation flowing fast. #sciencematters

I thought this would just be a "has trans gals and drag queens dancing" but yeah no it is hard to get a clearer message than a few dozen signs saying PROTECT THE DOLLS and TRANS RIGHTS NOW and TRANSPHOBES CAN'T GET LAID Good fuckin work, Sabrina

So @davidcldriedger.bsky.social shared about this book the other day, and I’ve been finding that audiobooks are working for me right now. Can someone please tell me how I’m going to get through 14 compact discs in 2025?

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

There is a lot of AI slop and outright misinfo about current events on here now. Ugh.

A lot of you didn’t read Mark Carney’s book and it shows 🤣

McDonald's CEO says the quiet part loud! Says, we are living in a two tier economy where the rich are getting richer and doing very well. While the middle and lower class are getting poorer and having to skip meals.

a Dyson sphere around bluesky to harness the endlessly renewable energy of shitposting would fix at least three problems at once

I really like Chicago. Great city. Was there last year. Seems unlikely it became a “hellhole” since then.

NY strip and coffee rub from Miller’s, a little rice and a Guinness 0 🔥

Started off #leburgerweek in #Winnipeg strong with the “chocoberry marshmallow melt donut burger” 🍔 from subzero - insanely impractical and messy, but very fun

I have ordered a very aerodynamic helmet for #triathlon racing next season on a great labour day sale - and now I better train hard enough to justify why I’m going to look like a Spaceballs extra 🤣

Hyundai IONIQ 3 almost here! When Farley and Musk say they struggle to build great affordable EVs, tell them thanks, no thanks, and get a Hyundai WLTP 260-365 Mi Range 10-80% in 30 0-60 <8s Apple CarPlay Ultra Look for expensive 'software focused' EVs w/o CP to continue sales destruction.

Wow - The Roses is stunning and cringey and intense. Great cast. Worth a watch.

Tending roses is a meditation on patience and impermanence - gorgeous one day, into the composter the next.
