This is another Doug Ford political stunt & wedge issue, like removing safe & successful bike-infrastructure in Toronto, THAT WILL KILL PEOPLE. He and his Ministers and MPPs will be undeniably responsible for kids, families, people dying. Doug Ford likes to talk tough about Trump, but he IS Trump.

Cowards. Guess cancelling my Apple TV subscription is next

So it seems that some people believe that being on their balcony makes them invisible or they are just exhibitionists. Walking home across the Cambie bridge and there is a guy on his balcony that is giving everyone a full frontal look at what he’s got.

Brain scans show #COVID can alter children’s development. Areas tied to language and listening sometimes improve with time. But changes in memory, emotions, and focus persist. Families say reinfections can wipe out recovery. Prevention matters. Kids must be included in research and care.

Premier Ford was in Barrie for a photo op to help further his and Mayor Nuttall's harmful narrative on PWUD and experiencing homelessness. Residents of this encampment told me neither man stepped foot inside the encampment or spoke with any residents. They used it as a backdrop for their photo op.

Wow what a super friendly bunch on the Van street I’m on. I’m picking my kid up from a vball practice at school. There is no parking on the st btwn 7 am and 6 pm to make sure school traffic doesn’t bother neighbours. It’s after 6 pm. I’m the only one here and guy just drove by yelling at me. Cool.

Bored so I’m watching the Godfather for the 8459th time

You know when someone does something really hurtful but you forgive them after they apologize and there is lots of contrition, and then two weeks later they do the same hurtful thing again only worse this time……..yeah me too

#GoldenAgeOfFraud #Crypto

I am quickly learning that what I was told in Gr 2 still holds. I have very little imagination. I can't come up with concepts and original ideas very easily. I am supposed to be coming up with a horticulture business concept for a class I'm taking and everything I've got is so lame.

I’m procrastinating hard today. I mean I got up early and worked out so I deserve a 3 hour break to scroll TikTok right?

If anyone in Vancouver believes the rapture is happening on Tuesday and wants to unload their house fast for a discount price, I’ll pay cash

BBC homepage: UK recognizing Palestine. CBC homepage: memorial for a Nazi.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

So is it time to pull my investments out of the US? They are about to lie like they’ e never lied before and are paving the way to get rid of corporate reporting requirements. I hate this timeline and the lying liars that are running it

The RFK, Jr. Death Panel is unleashing Hell on health in America. The Measles is the early stages of a potential outbreak, and Polio will not be far behind. No longer mandating small children get vaccinated is the recipe for an untold number of deaths.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Got around to it.

The whole presidency is a grift.

Love musical theater. We don’t get many Broadway shows in Vancouver but when we do I usually buy tickets. Just got presale notice for Moulin Rouge. Um WTF. They was $250 for a back row mezzanine ticket. $500 for two tickets. Don’t think so. Those prices a ridiculous

I don’t regularly watch the view but sometimes I put it on. I’ve purposely watched the last 2 days and they are failing. They are cowards, they aren’t saying anything. Right now they are talking about Pete Buttegieg. Like really there is nothing else going on? Cowards all of them

“if he can order the Navy to operate as a presidential hit squad on the high seas, any number of grim hypotheticals could become reality sooner than Americans might expect,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

IMPORTANT: Use of section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms, AKA the “Notwithstanding Clause“, was supposed to be rare, a kind of “nuclear option.” But bad faith politicians have been using it so much recently, it’s fair to ask if we even have a Charter anymore. That needs to change.

kind of incredible...what masks, distancing and school closures did to influenza activity early in the pandemic. Dashed line is pandemic onset in Ontario. Red=flu B, blue = flu A. Masking and closures are not sustainable population level strategies, but cleaning indoor air (same result) is.

Watched a documentary called Buy Now. I think we need to demand corporations be taxed based on the amount of consumer goods they throw away and/or destroy. There is way too much over production and over consumption.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

So have learned some things about being attacked and assaulted by random strangers and the @tps.ca. Unless call them while the assault is happening…..so you know you ask your attackers to stop beating the crap out of you so you can call 911….they don’t care.

Where are the protests? Are there any protests today. I’ve seen chatter about some protest in October but that is too late. Why aren’t people in the streets en masse today? Your jobs don’t matter at this point, they’ll fire you for anything anyway, midaswell be for standing up for your rights

Where are the advertisers? Are they okay with their money now being spent to promote fascism. Are they okay with now having their advertisements shown during “affiliate” programming? Does anyone in the US have a backbone?

This is about more than free speech. It's about power. And intimidation. If they can disappear Colbert & Kimmel from the TV in your home, they can disappear you from your home. And they will. This is just the beginning. We all need to stick together & fight for each other. The Devil is here.

Better yet, cancel your Disney+ subscription and never step foot in a Disney Park or buy their merch again. Money talks more than a letter

Trump is really out there saving me money. I’m about to ditch my Disney + subscription thanks to this Jimmy Kimmel bullshit. That’s an extra $17 a month in my pocket.

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs. The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of this Tweet. I feel like I should buy it a birthday cake.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

OMG 😳

@tps.ca is it police policy to not show up when 911 is called to report a random stranger attack? Is it normal to tell the victim to call the non emergency line and then ignore them? Just wondering

Someone very close to me was the victim of a random act of violence last night. I’m so pissed off about this. They were nothing but minding their own business. They weren’t attacked by a homeless person, or someone who has a substance problem. Just three twits looking for trouble. 😡

Good lord he’s an idiot. Build some fucking trains. And if carney backs him, he’s the bigger idiot

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

OMG I decided to stop at the Burnaby Costco today because it was on my way home. Wanted to see if they had different stuff than the downtown one. I will never come back here. It’s suburban mom and Grandma hell. Give me the instacart guys downtown anyday

Robert Redford once played the heroic Washington Post reporter who stood up to a corrupt president. If that movie were remade today, his character wouldn’t be hailed—he’d be fired, the editors would spike the story, and the publisher would issue an apology to power. Just ask @karenattiah.bsky.social

What is happening right now is an extinction-level threat to liberalism in America. Act like it.

In a healthy democracy, a state agency would not respond to a political utterance at a celebrity awards show. In a fascist state, a state agency would scream that the celebrity "fans the flames of hatred" www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale. But they want us to think they do.

Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy. But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy. He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it." On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation. Ceding ground to extremism won't make them nicer.

Sure no foul play……read that as the good ol’ boys don’t feel like doing their jobs because they know exactly who was responsible.

Can the NDP please get their shit together and move their leadership race and election up by about 6 months.

I’m so pissed about this. Just wrote an email to Hedy Fry about this. She is my MP. I have no idea if she was in attendance today but if she stood, as someone who is an immigrant, a minority, and a professional who would have been directly attacked by Kirk, it’s disgusting
