Today we heard that homelessness increased by 12% last year

Another Fifa miracle: train tickets to the MetLife stadium which normally are $12.90 will cost $100 on World Cup match days. What Jesus did with loaves of bread and fishes, Gianni does with dollars.

The VicPD really wants your feedback through this public survey. That’s why the survey is open for a total of…3 days… cheknews.ca/vicpd-launch... #DefundVicPD #yyj

Politics has broken a 200 year trend. Here's what happens next www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBsa...

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Opened a tub of yogurt to diacover a spot of mold in it. Five minutes later, Tom Friedman appeared on my TV screen. Don't tell me these are not connected.

I do feel bad for Byron Noem. He wasn’t hurting anyone, and it’s obvious he was outed to punish Kristi Noem for making Trump look bad. Plus, the guy told his dominatrix he loved her more than Kristi. Who among us wouldn’t love a dominatrix much more than Kristi Noem?

Looks like Afrika Bambaataa died. He died an unrepentant child sexual abuser, rapist and trafficker.

2/3 down. In 3-5 business days, that student loan is history.

Convoy leaders openly called for ousting Liberal MPs and replacing them with a junta of convoy leaders, social media influencers and the governor general The occupation terrorized Ottawa residents and subjected them to harassment / violence outside their own homes Marilyn Gladu supported them

Youtube, I beg you: stop trying to force Coachella on me. I am not your guy.

3/ Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

1/3 down.

Interesting days ahead: buying tickets to go speed dating, doing a FIT test (yay, being 50!), and paying off my student loans.

Horrifying. 100 strikes in 10 minutes across Lebanon, incl Beirut. Over 200 ppl killed and 1000+ injured by occupation's Operation "Eternal Darkness". Israel says no ceasefire on its part. Iran has responded saying Strait of Hormuz will not reopen unless ceasefire includes Lebanon & Gaza.

Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

Loving the wind in YYJ tonight.

Pretty sure David Suzuki was on my bus both ways this afternoon.

"World Cup tickets 'simply unaffordable' for too many Scotland fans, Swinney says" The cost is not the only problem with the FIFA World Cup. Anyway, if it keeps people away from the US, that might be a good thing.

Not the most relevant question today, but uhm, why does the US military press cover German football? And not even an elite derby? Is this code? Has a new level of war just been unleashed through the mundane text of a football report?

Huh, weird. When the "cash strapped city council" has voted to increase the police budget every single year, it has literally never once been framed this way. Not once. $175k is what a single cop costs annually, btw.

The Iran economic shock is coming youtu.be/Oi265I48MdI

Seems like it should be bigger news that Sam Altman is being sued for raping his own sister when she was a child

It's a Branca kinda evening. #MusicSky tidal.com/track/498681...

Speaker of the Iranian parliament, who the U.S. was intermittently claiming to have been “negotiating” with over the last couple weeks

One of the reasons there is a loneliness epidemic and a lack of organizing at cross purposes is that we lost our third spaces, which has an effect of restricting our freedom of movement and organization. Every space requires entry fees that increase therefore pricing out many

A functioning non-racist opposition party would use this as a cudgel to further their platform. But such a thing does not exist in Canada.

Seems a good time to finally tuck into Götterdämmerung. Still sore that I had a lovely vinyl edition of this, but purged it prior to my last move. #MusicSky tidal.com/album/646633...

One side wants DRIPA repealed. The other side wants DRIPA to remain in force. DRIPA implements the UNDRIP, international law meant to relieve oppression on Indigenous peoples who are colonized. The settler opposition & gov't backpedaling are the closest yet to an admission of apartheid by Canada.

I actually think it’s good when anti-immigrant, anti-DEI, pro AI freaks feel uncomfortable here. Long may it continue

Is that good?

I hope the based firefighters of France take umbrage.

And with that, a four-day weekend appears before me.

Right on time. The Corbyn knives are out

172/ "We can't take care of sick people or kids because we'd rather use the money on war" is a hell of a midterms pitch -@jeremiahDjohns x.com/JeremiahDJoh...

Took a half-day from the office today. Went to the cafe I frequent, though only on weekends now, for afternoon tea. Server there asked if I quit my job. Just reminds me that when I wasn't working, I really was the Norm Peterson at this joint. Glad to see my presence is appreciated.

We're doing moon shit again? Well in the words of Gil Scott-Heron, a rat done bit my sister Nell.

The man is trash.

How nice for Wall Street.

Man, if only there were some kind of Union they could be in with Europe www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...

The "Most Moral" of Armies strikes again.

@kyla.bsky.social on the complacency of the markets, and how ehhhhh that's not super great for the USA right now. youtube.com/shorts/dtjRG...

You haven’t heard us. So we’ll say it louder. WE. DON’T. WANT. THIS.

Police in Duncan are asking for the public’s help in locating a woman who has been missing for several days.

Now do searches for "bikes for sale near me."

LRT there's no point telling bsky that we don't want it by replying to the post, they aren't listening. Just block @attie.ai and pass it on. They'll get the message.
