Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Work will never love you back. We spend 8 hours or more a day away from friends and family. Work will never be as important as the time you keep for those you love. We have, if you're lucky, an average of 4,000 weeks in your life. I have lived 2,078. I turn 40 in a few months.

Thank you! I am so proud of what we did to bring this story to life. The editing and sound design is so good, isn't it?

Sorry the former cop moved a motion to hand his buddies $4M MORE despite the VPD taking a lion's share of our taxes

🤩

New York City

so allergy season is in February now?

TLDR, hobbies are good man. I haven't had a hobby in so long. Love doing a thing i don't have to try and monetize somehow.

Zero means zero except another $4 million for cop school. I hate it here.

I'm sorry but if the city giving the VPD MORE money to float Westbank from going under isn't a major scandal, what is?! Developer Cop circle jerk.

"Hoyt said he wonders why the VPD doesn’t consider other locations such as the Vancouver Film School at 390 W. Hastings St., which is up for lease only a few blocks away." WHY ARE WE FLOATING WESTBANK?

Time for another Woodward's squat

I didn't. But I could have.

There needs to be an inquiry into why the VPD is using this specific space @lucymaloney.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social @ptfry.bsky.social

Re Today in Vancouver City Council - we're going on lunch break now. Cllr Bligh just gave notice that she's withdrawing her motion 3 regarding Supportive Housing due to Cllr Zhou’s misinformation campaign. Resuming at 1.15 pm with motion 4 which is my motion about remote work privileges.

1/ It's not everyday a sitting city councillor accuses his colleagues — in a language they don't speak, on a social media channel they don't use — of being drug users and dealers. Still 9 months out from the election and it's already getting nasty. via me & @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

While chairing today’s standing committee, Cllr Klassen specifically referenced this article in a point of clarification and asked if the mover of the motion, former cop Cllr Montague, had been contacted for comment. really don’t see how that’s appropriate and ty to Cllr Bligh for calling it out

Huh that Liberal bump

To be clear, Clr Zhou provided no evidence to back up any of his allegations.

Made the mistake of tuning into some of Trump's SOTU. Watching him attack the Somali community was like listening to Hitler talk about Jews. Dehumanizing poison. And watching all those Republicans giving it a standing ovation was sickening. This is not a regime we should want anything to do with.

I would like to thank past Brandon for freezing a serving of chili a few weeks ago

My sunset too warm, the park dogs too cute

If only there was a mechanism by which people could give money, collectively, for the upkeep of city infrastructure. MY DUDE YOU JUST INVENTED TAXES.

UPDATE: Vancouver Lenny Zhou has apologized for a video he posted on WeChat where he said without evidence that multiple opposition councillors were drug users and dealers

Watching the US Olympic post-gold stuff and seeing the country punch itself in the face has really helped take the sting out of Sunday's loss, eh?

Jesus Christ look at the oval

Nobody names their baby Sherlock anymore

Here's a fun slide from the road conditions update happening at Vancouver City Council right now - yes that's right, a 400+ year backlog on sidewalks.

Wolf Parade Announce Western Canada Shows

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Mr Prime Minister, a second poll that has CPC +4 in Alberta has hit the averages

Or a Star Trek show with Garak as the main character. Star Trek: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

A star trek show which is only holodeck episodes

They say the councillor is Lenny Zhou, and he made the comments at some sort of filmed event where he made his remarks directly to camera. Of note: we still have not seen the video, or a translation of what he said. (which frankly, is a somewhat odd way to hold a press conference)

So who is keeping Vancouver on X? Is it the City Manager?

"This is a victory" and "we need to keep pushing" are not mutually exclusive statements. Quit the dooming of saying that this is nothing and worthless, it IS a win. BUT it's not *the* win that we're gunning for. Keep the pressure on until they completely stop demanding your ID and biometrics.

That's a pretty significant improvement in a few years

Vancouver council is meeting today, which means they will once be providing text updates *only* for subscribers of a website under investigation by multiple countries for child exploitation Staff were told by council months ago to post elsewhere, but haven't And they're doing it for 12 accounts

Vancouver should get sun days since we don't get snow days.

it's too nice out to be working 8 hours today

"Liberal" PM above water in Alberta. A unity prime minister.

I can't believe my tax dollars are flying these guys to DC to watch, what I assume, is going to be his most unhinged speech of all time. We live in truly the stupidest, most baffling timeline.
