Kid and husband are out of town doing some Uni tours and meeting with vball coaches. I’m on my own for dinner. What should I order in? Or where should go in Vancouver for a lonely Valentines dinner?

Does CBC show anything on their man station other than hockey. Why can’t they show the hockey on the sports stations, oh wait they do, it’s on every single station they have Olympics programming on. And no I’m not watching other stuff on their app

Hate it when you plan your plans a couple of days in advance based on the weather and then the weather forecast was soooo wrong. Two days ago today was supposed to be cloudy not pissing rain. Ugh. Needed to do some very outsidey things today, not happening now

🇺🇦 President Zelenskyy has awarded Vladyslav Heraskevych the Order of Freedom. “For his selfless service to the Ukrainian people, his civic courage, and patriotism in defending the ideals of freedom and democratic values,” the presidential decree states.

What the actual f**k.

Coincidence? 🤔 CBC reports the Moroun family ramped up lobbying with a Trump-connected firm, donated $250K to the RNC, met with U.S. officials… and hours later Trump threatened to block the publicly funded Gordie Howe bridge. Who benefits? Who follows the money? r.pebmac.ca/https://www....

Out for a walk today in Stanley Park doing some “research” for a school project. Came across this woodpecker going to town on a hemlock stump.

If you have an older person in your life you is hanging on to their landline/IP phone for dear life, insist they get rid of it. My parents were almost scammed for 100's of thousands of $ last week because of a failure by their service provider, Rogers Communications, to provide a secure phone line.

Hollywood producer Barry Josephson to Jeffrey Epstein: “I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates 'how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'"

I’m sitting in the dentist waiting area and the woman beside me is eating a banana, chewing it with her mouth open. It’s disgusting. And who eats at the dentist. Like doesn’t everyone obsessively brush their teeth before a dental visit?

$3 billion to support the auto industry. $3 billion that could have been spent on rail production, instead more tax payer money goes towards private industry that forces people to buy cars.

I hope every American is paying attention to Trump’s unfolding plans to steal the midterms.

Trying to watch Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein and while it’s visually beautiful, it’s so bad. I’m halfway through and I don’t think I can waste another hour+ on it

I’m really enjoying my course that I’m taking this semester. Lots of good discourse about climate change, food insecurity, soil degradation. ethnobotany, and land restoration. It’s giving me a little hope in such a dumpster fire of a timeline right now

Can someone explain to me why disruptive project that is yrs behind schedule like the Broadway Sky train expansion, has no one working on it this weekend? This is why nothing gets done in Canada.

How was John Wayne ever a thing. I’m watching The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence and OMG he is the worst actor. So bad.

So do the Aquilini’s even care about the Canucks? So I haven’t watched a hockey game in ages, but I’m pretty familiar with hockey given my family’s very close ties to the Leafs for two decades (like really close ties) I just from the Canucks game and it was shit

I’m at the Canucks game and the pig in front of me is picking out escorts for him and his buddy on some escort sight

I attended a really interesting panel discussion last night at the VPL. Discussions surrounded the importance of libraries as 3rd spaces and the need for robust funding to support these third spaces. Everyone support your local library and library foundations. Small donors matter most.

Decided to try my hand at baking bread. Not sure if it worked out or not but it smells and looks good

Seems certain members of this site can’t abide by boundaries that people set when they don’t allow quote posts. Fuck you dude

Where them files at? When are dems going to to actually voice a demand, or are they just going to let that failure to comply slide as well

And with that we should insist all loans given to US based car manufacturers be returned, and welcome in the Chinese EV manufacturers. apple.news/AeZfvnWZ0R9O...

Long live my massage therapist. She has magical hands that have finally given me some relief from my months long headache.

I am taking one of my last classes for my horticulture diploma and like all my classes we are required to participate in weekly discussions. It is so obvious that most of the initial posts by group members are AI generated. The writing, the amount of details, the fake sources……it’s disappointing

Found out some very sad news today. Some friends we had in Japan lost their son, who was in the same class/grade as my older daughter, to suicide. I can’t imagine the pain they have felt because of this. It’s just awful for their family and I’m so sad that their son felt this was the only option.

@hedyfry.bsky.social why are you still on X? Do you like hanging out with racists and pedophiles? Is that the audience you are trying to reach? That is who you are courting for support?

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X? I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets 34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs 3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

One, markets have demonstrated that they're not going to stop this. Not sure why anyone expected different. Traders are fundamentally short-termist; they're just as motivated by the allure of sugar high rate cuts. They have no incentive to be the adults in the room, regardless of long-term costs.

Trump's attacks on Chair Powell and Fed independence are so much worse and more dangerous than you might think. In fact, we've kind of already crossed the rubicon and I'm not sure how we go back. Two reasons:

I’m so close to reaching a bit of a self imposed milestone in my investment account and that orange buffoon is going to f*ck it up with his Powell witch hunt and installation of a moron who doesn’t understand economics

Asked the husband while he was at the store to buy some basil so I could make tomato soup tonight. He came home with a whole basil plant that I have zero desire to look after. I like plants I didn’t need another one

Spa day at our house. This isn’t even all of them. I may have a plant problem. I do have a plant problem. I can’t throw a cutting out. I always propagate and then I end up with a gazillion plants

The site the city of Vancouver and dozens of elected officials from all levels of government are still on.

Mexico’s demonstrators call for a continental general strike against the United States, vow to fight US troops everywhere if they attack or invade.

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

My daughter has been messaging with all her friends from our time in Japan. I love hearing all the updates on what the kids are all doing and their plans for next year. I love that she has friends all over the world and that they are still in touch with each other, even though it’s been a while

I friggin hope Carney allows BYD to sell in Canada.

X is only allowing “verified” users to create images with Grok. Experts say it represents the “monetization of abuse”—and anyone can still generate images on Grok’s app and website. www.wired.com/story/x-didn...

So cute, my nephew is a pilot for a major airline in the US. My other nephew (his brother) happened to get on one of his flights yesterday so they did a little spontaneous photo shoot on the plane and pictures of him waving out the cockpit window. It’s cute to see them having a great time together

Evan is also a paid X subscriber which also gives him access to enhanced features from Grok, the "deepfake sexual abuse" generator

Today, the US President claimed to The NYT that the only limits that exist on his power, in domestic or international matters, are “his own morality.” Where are the elected Democrats? Articles of Impeachment. EVERY. DAY. Rallies. EVERY. DAY. Mourning. EVERY. DAY. Fucking SAY SOMETHING.

So I don’t know how anyone travels. We are changing our plans for March because the US is well……the places we are interested in going all have economy flights at about $3000 return and then it’s about another &”$5-6000 per person for a week of accommodation and food etc. so cool, $27000 for a week.

And the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social still posts there and loads of Canadian politicians still have a robust presence there. Absolutely disgusting.

The Democratic Party refuses to confront authoritarianism effectively because it shares the same class interests as the Republicans.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.
