Thanks CBC for busting some myths related to the shooting in Tumbler Ridge.

Horrible. How devastating

Seriously, though - it was just a joyous celebration of Latin American culture. If you're getting mad about that, then that kinda makes you look like a psycho.

LOL why would they do that

HOT TAKE: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance was great. Someone had to say it.

Football-Themed Napkins At Super Bowl Party Too Nonabsorbent, Painful To Use On Mouth https://theonion.com/football-themed-napkins-at-super-bowl-party-too-nonabsorbent-painful-to-use-on-mouth/

Came across this insta account recently of a guy that dresses up as trash and imitates its movement in the breeze. I really really like the creativity behind this. Have been on somewhat of a crusade against litter in my own neighbourhood lately, too.

Good. ICE isn’t “law enforcement,” it’s an industry of human suffering. Businesses should be cutting ties, not cashing checks. Great work @emilylowan.bsky.social for bringing this to everyone's attention.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I like the sound of this so far!

Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but it is completely irrelevant. She died as an innocent woman murdered in cold blood in her own neighbourhood. There is nothing that could possibly be in her past that would justify the ICE agent's actions.

There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that. No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

Israel continuing doing Israel things, btw.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

Sharing as I would hate to pass up an opportunity to throw shade at WestJet. An absolute garbage airline that I will continue to avoid at all costs. Truly a horrible company.

"clarifies"

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

It's mind-blowing how incoherent the Trump regime's explanations are for what will happen in Venezuela going forward. It's like they've never really thought about it.

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it. They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing. But we're keeping track of every single strike. So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

😭

This video was hilarious but also made me feel some of the most despair I have felt in a long time. In any world with even an ounce of justice the people responsible for ChatGPT would be criminally prosecuted. Lock up every big tech CEO right now Jesus Christ.

More Canadians, including children, detained in U.S. for immigration violations, new data show “An estimated 207 Canadians have now been held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at some point since January…” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The cedar’s diameter is 2.79 metres, a size that should have ensured protection for the tree, along with a one-hectare buffer under provincial law. globalnews.ca/news/1155910...

FYI, this is the guy who declined to appoint a Disability Minister to his cabinet.

Major kudos to @humanrights.ca for doing this. This exhibit will make a huge difference in the Canadian public's awareness of this history.

this abhorrent decision cannot be allowed to stand. it’s long past time the abuse of the notwithstanding clause was addressed.

Imagine facing this kind of disgusting misogynistic abuse at your workplace. That's what these reporters are getting, but it's in the most public setting possible and it's coming from someone who will never be held accountable and he knows it. I'm worried about the permission structure this creates.

Congrats @vancouverrisefc.bsky.social for winning the first ever NSL title today!

Protesters blockade Cop30 summit over plight of Indigenous peoples

"More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém, significantly outnumbering every single country’s delegation apart from the host Brazil, new analysis has found. One in every 25 participants [...] is a fossil fuel lobbyist."

Aurora borealis at the Pitt Meadows dike tonight. Cloudier than we'd like but we got some greens and pinks coming thru.

My first fishbone cactus flower has opened. It's a very impressive bloom. Extremely fragrant, too. Honestly it's a bit much. Ok, I get it. You can chill out a bit, little dude. #bloomscrolling

Well it's nice that bluesky likes my idea, since r/vancouver haaated it.

Idea: the Vancouver Canadians baseball team should change its name to the Vancouver Steller's Jays.

Well I don't think you can argue that the jays and the dodgers aren't evenly matched. Wow

Evil does, in fact, sleep sometimes.

Honestly, not sure I'd notice. Their uniforms all look the same to me already.

On this spookiest of nights, a hellhound has found its way into my house. Egads! #dogsofbluesky #halloween

Happy Hallowe'en! Now go listen to Sir Christopher Lee's reading of The Tell-Tale Heart... IF YOU DARE!!! 😱
