This is just a WILD read. Makes clear that the entire executive branch of the US government is a house of cards ready to fall. Despite the blowhards at the top continuously saying repugnant shit, the bulk of the government is just regular folks, and they are crashing and burning from all the BS.

For those who don't know, remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations. I took this photo today in SASKATOON within hours of the ICE remigration Gestapo executing another person in the US. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

If you're a BC resident and hate culture war politics and racism we could sure use some donations to fuel the Recall Tara Armstrong campaign. You can donate here: recallarmstrong.ca/donate

@dragonbyte.ca rockin' the homemade wontons!

We all good with our national broadcaster parroting US propaganda? No? Email: [email protected]

Imagine being such a chud that you think physically possessing a Nobel Peace Prize is the same as winning one. Imagine being such a chud that after winning a Nobel Peace Prize you give it to a fascist to appease them.

Am no longer able to tell if "fuck Ford" in reference to automaker or ON premier.

Some guys will literally write a Lisp interpreter from scratch in C instead of going to therapy. Or at least I did. I have now implemented the bulk of the R5RS Scheme standard (the bits I intend to, anyway) and added a standard library of additional procedures implemented as hot-pluggable modules.

The Kettle River flows within stumbling distance of my front porch. It rises in the Monashee Mountains at Holmes Lake, dips into the US at Midway, dips back into Can at Grand Forks, then dips back into the US for the last time near Christina Lake before merging into the Columbia River at Boyds, WA.

The morons in the comments who think the Tyee posted this as 'a joke' completely missing the fact they posted it because it is so scarily fucking serious.

Dear all of bluesky: Please stop telling us what's on X every 5 minutes? It's not a service anyone needs We know what X is, we know already, give us some peace for 5 minutes. You're the ghoul on X still, not your followers. Pass it on

Actually, illegally invading sovereign nations and stealing their resources is good because Wall Street, says NP fucking R?!?!?!

Does anybody know if anyone has compiled a list of MPs, Premiers, and/or Canada government agencies that still post regularly at the bad place?

No lies detected in this thread... We could be proactive and mitigate damages, or we can do nothing and suffer the full brunt. Well past time for literally everyone to start engaging with reality.

They have a six year-old, who at some point today has to have been pulled out of a first-grade classroom to be told what happened. I can't stop picturing it.

This you? Less than a week ago? Is the apparent list of which countries are sovereign and which aren't available for the rest of Canadians to see? www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

Our Minister of Foreign Affairs now outsourcing statement authoring to ChatGPT.

I DID manage to make it to midnight last night, and I shit you not, the neighbor's rooster started crowing exactly then.

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all the best for 2026 🥰 I’d love you to watch my 35 minute narrated video “Best of 2025” if you have time 😄 and also read my New Year blog post! I’d really appreciate your support! Thank you, Kate 🥰❤️🇨🇦 www.patreon.com/posts/147106...

A Ural Owl keeping an eye on a Raven flying by. One of the most memorable encounters for me this year in the Finnish nature. Happy New Year 2026! 🪶🦉 #BirdsSeenIn2025 🇫🇮 #NaturePhotography

A nice flock of Bohemian waxwings for the Rock Creek Christmas bird count with @dragonbyte.ca.

I'd go a bit further than this and say that Americans should just shut the fuck up about the governance of any other country altogether.

My babe knows how to Christmas shop for me...

In the Fraser river valley near Harrison BC 🇨🇦with a beautiful varied thrush (bald eagle in the trees above) what a beautiful bird! Christmas Day 25 Dec 2025 ✨🎄✨

Merry Christmas from me, @dragonbyte.ca and MoMo (the neighbour's cat).

This is what happens when you get AI to author your signage. This is in Amarillo, Texas.

The Bohemians have shown up! 25 or so of them elbowing against the Robins for the last of the berries on our Ash. 72 species on the yard list now.

$3,000! So one black cartridge and one CMY cartridge?

I was so excited to solve the Advent of Code puzzles in real time this year, but I've already screwed it up. I was expecting the first puzzle tonight, but it was released last night 😐 So I guess I'll do it now and get ready for puzzle 2 tonight. #aoc

By 'help' she means driving and occasionally mumbling awkwardly at people addressing the table when she went to the washroom.

I'm more likely to encounter Jimmy Hoffa than one of these in the town where I live, but if I were to visit a city, and met one on a sidewalk, if it did not yield to me it would be swiftly kicked into traffic.

Lots of ppl talking about how this is 4d chess, and just a way to get concessions from AB and let the failure of any pipeline fall solely on Smith's shoulders. Even if that's true, and that's a mighty big if, we need to talk about how shitty and unseemly it is for our PM to play games like this.

@dragonbyte.ca made some very good dumplings!

I guess that's a good idea if you want large numbers of people to not vote anymore. What the actual fuck are these clowns thinking?

And there it is. Just a couple cm, but it's warmed up a bit and has already started melting.

We've just started getting our first snow of the year. Very light so far. If it stays like this through the night, I doubt there will be much more than a couple cm.

This spreadsheet could have been an email.

The weather will be turning next week and if you have somewhere warm and safe to go, don't take that for granted. So many people in our community are not so fortunate. The money I'm raising will ensure Bissell can continue to offer services and supplies to those in need. Please donate if you can!

Fact check: No, U.S. oil tankers do not pass through the Hecate Strait. Elizabeth May shows exactly why the tanker ban exists, and why protecting it matters.

I'm not going to shame the person who posted this meme (without alt text), but rather, offer a counterpoint: They don't extort money, they ask politely for it. Maybe if some of you cheap bastards who've been using Wikipedia for 15+ years sent them some, they wouldn't have to....

Or we could buy defective-by-design F35s with remote kill switches from fascists. I guess Carney will need to ponder the options a bit longer.

@davidebybc.bsky.social We don’t want this coming through our province. This sounds a bit like Carney and Smith are going to walk all over BC.

I've spent the last two days hunting down a bizarre bug in my C code. I finally found it, and it was caused by my own dumbassery. All I can say is: When you re-write a section of code the correct way, make sure you remove the kludges you put in to make it work when you wrote it the incorrect way.

Unlike so many other once great institutions, the PSF can't be bought by fascists. It would be nice if some other governments kicked in some cash to make up the loss.

Capitalism, whether motivated by pure greed or the hand of autocratic leaders, will claim every good thing, every human achievement, package it in an enshitified form shackled by artificial scarcity, and make it defective by design, simply to generate more capital. pluralistic.net/2025/10/20/p...

So cool that you can be summarily executed by a foreign military for being 'suspected' of stuff. Stuff that doesn't even come with a death sentence when convicted in that foreign country.

Today's the day! Hope to see you at City Farmer in Vancouver this afternoon, October 4 from 1-3 pm. I'll bee selling books for $30 each and of course, I'd bee happy to sign them for you!

You best start believing in dystopian futures, Miss Turner... you're in one!

Six Mile Pub in Victoria just responded to a (complimentary) google review I left there about 8-9 years ago haha. Said they'd love to hear more about our experience. Honestly, other than eating there once, I don't recall much.

I've been hacking on this fairly regular, and at 7000+ LoC it is turning from a toy-lisp into a full-blown R7RS Scheme implementation. It has garbage collection, full 'numeric tower' implementation, lists, vectors and bytevectors, partial Unicode support (chars but not yet strings). #scheme #lisp
