The generation who can’t rotate a PDF are leading the charge with AI and I just think

BC's industrial carbon pricing system is returning big value to BC ecology! www.timescolonist.com/resources-ag...

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I just got a full dental cleaning for $28 with the Canada Dental Care Plan 😭 Jagmeet Singh you were not the right leader for the NDP in so many ways but you got this right and I will never forget you for it dude

It was the short form 😔

Well. Balls. (This is a Canucks post)

Great read!

Tiktok just fed me a paid ad for prep programs for U of T that was VERY CLEARLY filmed in Vancouver's Olympic Village. I was so confused.

I'm not being original here, but this reminds me of that quote about journalism where if one side says it's raining and the other says it's not, the journalist should stick their head outside and determine who is right.

So many hours on this game

Sounds great, wait, WHO IS DOING IT?

Definitely miss that site. Mostly because I am a walking stereotype.

"support the troops"

This is the kind of D&D post that makes me want to incorporate it into my next session

An absolute legend.

Happy 58th birthday to Lucy Lawless, who has always understood the assignment.

I've oddly got a 3 hour layover in YVR. I cannot begin to tell you how cool it is to realize I can jet into town to have a beer and then head back I miss this beautiful town! And once again I want to say how much I love the Canada Line, a refrain I've had for over 15 years now

another day in which, on top of everything else, I'm mad about the SFF cover shift from "little pre-raphaelite painting you can put in your pocket" to "we gave the intern our Canva log-in"

Staffers across a continent are madly jealous of the sheer level of game perpetually on display. And also Mamdani keeps landing bangers.

I know it's complex as all get out, and that on rewatch, the character is certainly less than stellar, but I loved that character as a kid. 54 is just too young (even with all the things). Also he was never banned from being alone with Trachtenberg after "the incident" like someone else...

www.psypost.org/new-psycholo... I work very hard to minimize what can notify and how. Nothing makes noise, vibrations are only for app's where the notification is likely urgent (phone calls and actual text messages). Good read to consider what notifications do to your brain!

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Me: I hate reboots and revivals, we need new ideas Also me whenever it's something I love: yes I will watch this and be excited.

I'm going to miss the chaos giraffe. (this image is not photoshopped)

Ah jeez. This sucks. One of the best dudes to ever dude.

Hurry up and elect this guy Vancouver

I look forward to being called before the Parliamentary UnCanadian Activities Committee or PUAC to defend my opinion that fascism is bad. What a nimrod. Most reply guys get less insufferable after Uni, this guy somehow got so much worse. globalnews.ca/news/1168850...

In my experience real Normal Guys quote Marcus Aurelius.

"British Columbia was the most improved province. Last year, 82.6 per cent of respondents said they had a family doctor or nurse practitioner, up from 71 per cent in the 2022 survey." From @kellygrant1.bsky.social: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Sometimes you get goalied.

Any day is patio day if you dress warm enough. (I'm told this is a "very smug West coast thing to post")

I see there's an op-ed mad that Vancouver puts schools in good places. "The City... have developed a strange and entrenched consistent habit: placing elementary schools on some of the most prominent... pieces of urban land it has God forbid schools be in convenient prominent parts of communities.

My Fitbit recently "upgraded" to include AI reviews of my activities, but it is relentlessly and insipidly positive. This is my bike ride to work that I would have described as "routine and unremarkable" "The first ten minutes" were also the only ten minutes of the ride. This slop is so useless.

I just discovered that I know by heart many lines from Spaceballs despite not having seen the movie in probably two decades. It started with someone saying the name Lone Starr out of context. Real dudes rock moment.

He's in jail and used to be lead singer of a band. He was a real piece of work in high school too.

Why is my office so dusty all of a sudden? Man, what a legend. Truly one of the best.

This is so stupid.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

Crave suggested that because Im watching Heated a rivalry that I might like Goon and, well, I do love that movie but I'm curious to see how the Heated Rivalry demographic feels about Goon...

LAGWAGON! And I get to see Los Furios for maybe the 10th time (I haven't kept a count) As usual, I bought my early bird tickets in January for a full fest pass. See you there!

Real vote of confidence there.

Well this is incredibly frustrating. Stargate is a part of our community!

I wonder what it's like being a CIA guy in a bar in rural Alberta and running into your FSB counterpart who's doing the exact same work

Drop an alien that's not from Star Trek or Star Wars. I give you, the moon faced assassin of joy.

Flannel over a band t-shirt is an iconic look that will never go out of style is a thing I regularly tell myself.

Hey Victoria, please settle an argument: (notably:dive bars are a positive thing) 1. Is Big bad Johns a dive bar or a fake dive bar? 2. Is view street social a dive bar? 3. Are there any other dive bars in Victoria?
