I don’t usually post on celebrity posts because what can I possibly contribute but this Rob Reiner news is just awful. He brought us all so much joy. What a wonderful human being.

Dallas Brodie has apparently been removed as leader of far-right splinter party OneBC

I miss Granville Books.

I am so proud of them. the kids did it. they made a new stupid number to say. they may now take their place in history.

Lurchers are the best dogs. Also the weirdest dogs.

I really like the contrast @kehyslop.bsky.social makes with how we treat these offences when it’s a teacher. We know who the teacher is and also if they’re going to continue to have authority over young people. Cops? Meh. Who knows? It’s kind of gross.

Very much not going to call in to the CBC from "MacKenzie Heights" to opine on the flooding in the Fraser Valley.

If you’re angry about the Cowichan decision, lay the blame where it belongs. For more than a century, provincial and federal governments have tried to dodge the issue of Indigenous Title — creating problems for First Nations and private property owners thenarwhal.ca/opinion-eker... #bchist #cdnHist

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Vancouver city councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social has introduced a new Council motion that would get rid of right turns on red lights in the city. Via @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social Unquestionably the smart, evidence-based move for EVERYONE’s safety, but especially for people walking & on bikes.

I sent an email. This is such a low-barrier improvement to safety for everyone.

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

I’m sure every single one of these whiners could regale us with great stories about their favourite B.C. premier, Thomas “Duff” Patullo. I think almost all of Grade 8 Social Studies focuses on this guy.

If you think you should ever use this word, I can almost guarantee that you probably shouldn’t.

a *lynching*? huh.

I wish a notice like this wasn't necessary. www.icrc.org/en/article/i...

This is a real endgame of a dying empire move.

I’m sorry Vancouver, I turned on the game. Whenever I watch a Vancouver team play, they lose. I should have known better.

Ok, I don’t usually go for movie related clothing but I’ve wanted one of these ROTJ rebel ponchos since I was a kid. www.columbia.com/p/endor-issu...

One thing in the Tom Stoppard obits: he didn’t go to university. Left school and started working as a reporter. Then got into theatre reviews and became a playwright. No j-school, no MFA in Creative Writing. I don’t think that’s remotely possible now. You’d never have access w/o the credentials.

The Secret Santa at the BC Cons xmas party is going to be very awkward this year.

I've always taken great pride in the professionalism of my incapacity.

Hands up if your mum was a nurse and this was always the only option.

I really like what Pulp did with this Johnny Cash cover: youtu.be/hfXo2yhqjYs?...

How do people's brains not explode when they're like this? I mean Habba of course, not the poster of the wiki quote.

Ok, I read this & of course I agree with everything in it, including how amazing our VW Golf wagon has been. It sucks you can't get a decent wagon in NA now. Also, as someone who grew up driving up & down rough, narrow logging tracks, most of those trucks are too big to be useful off-road anyways.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

lol. lmao even

This is so against the "everybody brown bagging it in an Atco trailer" spirit of skiing I grew up with. Thankful I was able to grow up on the mountain like that.

Canada needs money so desperately the government is going after low income people who took pandemic benefits in good faith. But it doesn't need money desperately enough to keep the luxury tax on yachts, or the slightly higher tax rate on capital gains Carney cancelled.

someone found a way to bring all of the worst people in the world for a single event

Let’s not, because it makes me sad. My reasonably-sized VW wagon is broken and they don’t sell them in Canada anymore.

The new Air Marshal uniform is a bit much.

Thread to read as you think about going out this weekend and having a beer or glass of wine with friends (i.e. consuming a safe, government regulated, and controlled substance)

Kneecap are suing Liberal MP Vince Gasparro stereogum.com/2481088/knee...

This a dark thought, but one way to get the military on your side if you want to stage a coup is have them commit war crimes that they’d possibly be prosecuted for after the next election.

This is terrible but at least it's not being produced by the CBC.

The teens are putting 19th century novels on their Christmas list so the kids are alright.

Liberal MP for Vancouver Quadra posted this statement on FB regarding the MOU between the Government of Canada and Alberta.

When Pete McMartin asks why, as a 4th or 5th generation Canadian, he's still considered a "settler," this is why.

I think one of the best Canadian TV shows ever made that fits this category is Gavin Crawford’s “Wild West.” Unfortunately it didn’t get picked up but it was so good.

RIP Repair Cafes run by spec.bc.ca ABC’s budget death count thus far: summer fireworks, community repair cafes @lucymaloney.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social

“I remember when it was the Benson & Hedges Symphony of Fire.” *Takes long, deep drag on cigarette

This keeps showing up in my timeline and I have to say one thing I’ve been enjoying about being on Bluesky is never ever hearing about Jen Gerson anymore. Hopefully this is a blip.

They're lowering the fine for "Fail to remove snow within 24 hours" from $750 to $499.

approved despite over 600 speakers signing up to speak to the budget, with all but a tiny number strongly opposed, and following a public engagement survey that found the majority of respondents supported a property tax increase to avoid cuts.

The person who runs this blog goes to Costco and posts photos of what's on sale/deals etc. They went to the new Costco Business Centre in New West and posted their tour of the professional kitchen section. My name's not on our Costco card. I will never be allowed in here. cocowest.ca/2025/11/gran...
