Such a Good Tale.

It’s quite easy to pronounce, even if my iPhone keyboard doesn’t allow me to spell it - so let’s normalize this name

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

It doesn’t matter to me if people say “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays,” or “Fuck Trump”—it’s the thought that counts.

also, Spotify doesn't pay royalties at all for tracks with less than a thousand streams. and sometimes if an album gets a sudden surge of fan interest, Spotify deems it "unusual listening activity" and just removes the album, as happened to my last EP.

Fantastic thing to read - awful it’s necessary, glad it will finally be law.

😲🤯

Rich people are planning to block out the sun. Apparently they forgot that the last time a rich guy tried this, a BABY SHOT HIM skepchick.org/2025/12/bloc...

It feels weird to me that school is being treated as a competition. I was never competing against my classmates, except maybe in PE?

Over my dead body will I let those fuckers Pepe Franklin.

Yup, architects are definitely at risk… 🙄

I named my fists Schlemiel and Schlimazel because I’m about to bring the Hasenpfeffer.

There's not a single anti-trans campaigner or group with a major platform on twitter who haven't posted *horrifying* things and it's a stain on our entire media ecosystem that not a single major outlet has done even basic reporting of it.

Lo and behold, Prime Minister Mark Carney, a global banker, and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, a petro-populist à la Donald Trump, have big energy plans for Canadians. Andrew Nikiforuk interviews David Hughes, one of the country’s foremost energy analysts. #canpoli #abpoli

Ooh - this is hard. I have a strong dislike of Xmas music, as do many people who sang in choirs and started rehearsing them in September… That said, so many of the religious songs (well, and secular) are a delight to sing…if they’re done right. And torture if they’re not.

More proof that the province of BC is doing AMAZING work when it comes to recruiting American healthcare workers... a member of our Healthcare Infusion community sent me this... B.C. literally bought THE ENTIRE FRONT COVER of the U.S. nurses' main monthly magazine. 🤣 OMG I LOVE IT

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees. I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

😂😂😂👏👏

Our MASSIVE annual list of holiday shows (choirs, ballet, theatre, musicals, panto) on stage in Vancouver this season: #Vancouver #SupportTheArts

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

So, so good

My favorite holiday food story has to be @cryptidchicken.bsky.social’s Turkey Story www.tumblr.com/gallusrostro...

Y’all, you need to bookmark this post and keep it going. These replies are giving me LIFE

there is ironically no better self roast than "I used an AI to come up with insults about you"

Molly Reilly was the first female Canadian pilot to reach the rank of captain, the first to fly in the Arctic and the first to become a Canadian corporate pilot. In 10,000 hours as a pilot-in-command, she never had a single accident. This is her story. 🧵 1/10

Y’all, this is SOLID advice, I think, on how to manage big ass family events like Thanksgiving and Xmas. My family was pretty chill, but I’ve heard stories from some of y’all. If you can’t necessarily execute this yourself this year, try to take some time to observe so you can in the future

As always, Derek Guy hits us with careful thought and observation.

Letters Home: Herbert Ball Herbert Ball enlisted in Edmonton with the 51st Battalion in January 1915. This letter was written only a few days before he died in November 1916.

Good piece. Good lessons. "[A]t some point I found a measure of peace and discovered that happiness is a feedback loop: the happier I began to feel, the more interesting the world became – and as the world became more interesting, I grew happier and, apparently, more interesting to others, too." /1

Nanaimo's Raymond Collishaw saw action in the First World War, the Russian Civil War and the Second World War. Highly decorated for his service, he spent his retirement years as a First World War aviation historian. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

Zo versus Zoh -- Bluesky needs to add a polling function so we can settle questions like this.

DONT FALL FOR MTG’S BULLSHIT SHE IS STILL A VIOLENT ANTISEMITE WHO BLAMES JEWS FOR EVERYTHING WRONG IN THE WORLD A FULLY ENDORSES GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY

Look, men aren’t worried about being falsely accused of rape. False rape allegations occur at roughly the same frequency as false allegations of murder/etc., and they seem real not worried about those, even though they also wreck your reputation. They’re worried about what they *have* done.

fuckin lmao

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message. /1

While Sir Frederick Banting was a driving force behind the discovery of insulin and its therapeutic potential, he was by no means the only one on the team. There was also James Macleod, Charles Best and today's subject...James Collip. This is his story. 🧵 1/9

An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame. But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

It is T-7.5 days to Thanksgiving, and if you absolutely CANNOT BEAR to make an appearance at the Racist Relative or Overbearing Inlaw table this year, and they won’t take “no, you’re assholes”, it is Groundwork Time! Sometime this weekend, someone in your house will feel awful. There will be vomit.

Generative AI causes so many demonstrable harms, from counseling kids into suicide, stealing creative work and destroying the market for it, perverting education, and this predictable horror. Any other product like this would be regulated into the smallest possible box by a responsible society.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

If you invented a robot that sometimes cleaned my house really well & quickly & saved me lots of work—but *often* just moved things around without really cleaning—& *sometimes* added germs *to* the surfaces—such that just to be safe, I always had to clean after it I don’t think I’d buy that robot

A cool article with no purple prose, no surprise endings and neat facts.

British Columbians who use manual and power wheelchairs say they’re tearing their hair out trying to get local businesses to service and maintain their wheelchairs.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.
