If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

No question: Leonard Nimoy playing a leather-gloved self-help guru inadvertently in league with the aliens in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. One of my favour bit parts in the entire 70s!

So, I really didn't want to have to go this route. But in short: I need a root canal and I can't afford the treatment now. If any of you are willing to help, both a small donation and a share can go a long way. www.gofundme.com/f/funds-need...

Even during the worst days of network television they wouldn’t have done this.

Happy May Day! Every right we have as workers in Canada—8 hour days, 5 day work weeks, minimum age, minimum wage, worker’s compensation, EI—all had to be fought for and won—often with blood. Billionaires and conservatives will take everything from us if we let them.

Feed people pablum and you keep them babies for the rest of their lives. Shake them up and you make life-long readers.

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

American cinema in the 1970s is a rare exception. Unmatched employment of normal-looking people alongside talented beauts.

I have considered Moleskine to be outrageously overpriced for quite some time but using AI to generate a sketchbook cover betrays a level of hubris that is wild even for them. Those high prices and they couldn't be bothered to pay a human? Dump 'em. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Looking forward to a remake with the subtext explained to me three times, the socio-political subtext stripped away, and shittier VFX.

At least 34 tankers with links to Iran have bypassed the US military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz since it began, including several carrying Iranian oil—despite Trump declaring the blockade a “tremendous success”

There would have been no Continental Army for the French to hand victory to at Yorktown without the jab.

Nobody over the age of say 50 should give a shit about this because life is short and every moment precious.

100%

Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.

what the fuck is even going on

CANADIAN AUTHOR FRIENDS! Please share! Class action lawsuit against Anthropic for Canadian authors! @premeemohamed.com @ramonterrell.bsky.social www.cfmlawyers.ca/class-action...

Some sad news to report, I'm afraid... Jeff Grant, the director of legendary public information film Lonely Water, died on 13 March. He fought to include the film's horror elements, and they proved so successful that it opened the door to the shocking PIFs that we know and love. (1/2)

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

I have this. It's a good time. Pick it up. Can't beat the price!

Having my first game published by @hollandspiele.bsky.social and getting to know and work with @amabel.bsky.social and Mary has been a true highlight of my creative journey. It’s a bittersweet moment to announce the game will shortly no longer be available through the Hollandspiele store 1/2

Our license is up for @rdeleskie.bsky.social 's WARS OF MARCUS AURELIUS. We're selling off our last few copies at $10 off. If you want a Hollandspiele edition of this popular solitaire game, now's your last chance.

Canadians have been vacationing in Cuba for decades. And now, as Trump starves that nation, Canadians have the moral obligation to come to Cuba's need.

Hate this

Lloyd Axworthy, who wrote this opinion piece, ends with: "In a world where preventive wars multiply and great powers act first and explain later, middle powers like Canada will someday wish they had defended the UN Charter when they still could."

Also: the US has no moral or legal authority to assassinate leaders of other countries or kill their people. It’s really, really simple.

Please explain how @mark-carney.bsky.social's support for an illegal and unnecessary US war of choice against Iran is working to shape a more peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world for Canadians.

If you’re a fan of Excalibur run don’t walk to get yourself a copy of the new Arrow UHD. It’s heads and shoulders above previous home video releases. Just gorgeous.

Incredible short film Catherine O’Hara and Andrea Martin made for Late Night with David Letterman, so dark and nervy, filmed in Toronto too youtu.be/ZwLTCayIeSw

So sad to hear this. Loved Catherine O'Hara since her SCTV days so long ago. Absolute Canadian icon, practically a part of our DNA, and one of the greatest comedy actors of all time. She made every part unforgettable. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsKa...

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Can confirm this joke appeared at my high school in small town Ontario the day of the disaster. Deep-rooted psychological structures at work here.

Update

Well over a foot and we’re only about halfway done. At least it’s pretty!

Need a @lairdbarron.bsky.social primer? Even if you don't, you can read about his work. @gemmafiles.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @victorlavalle.bsky.social and me sing his praises in the piece as well. the-line-up.com/laird-baron-...

Not super hopeful about Nolan's Odyssey. But we still have this incredible 1968 int'l TV version, for me one of the greatest TV series of all time. Perfect cast, FX by Mario Bava & Carlo Rambaldi and a thoughtful adaptation. This French version has English subtitles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjN_...

Bekim Fehmiu and Irene Papas will always be my Odysseus and Penelope.

Turquoise is visual cilantro so these movies are a nonstarter for me

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai. Truly one of the greatest of all time. Incredible in Harakiri, The Face of Another and Ran, among so many others.

Once upon a time movie posters told stories and set the tone, creating a kind of visual overture. Struzan was huge part of the imaginative landscape of the 80s and 90s. RIP.

This one hurts. Such a unique presence. One of those actors you just felt like you knew. People saying she was foundational to 70s American cinema are 100% right. RIP Diane

Not many board games are as mysterious as City of Six Moons. Is it a puzzle? A training ground for historical preservation? A grift? To answer those questions and many more, today we’re joined by Amabel Holland to discuss her oddest title yet. Listen here: spacebiff.com/2025/10/07/s...
