It has to happen, but so much displacement for indigenous folk in Manitoba, compounding challenging circumstances and pre-existing trauma for many.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

This detector is especially bad. Ensured it was plaintext only before posting a sample. 4 invisible unicode characters that aren't there. 11 em dashes - two hyphens, no em dashes 7 paragraphs starting with emojis - 1 paragraph, no emojis People get kicked out of college because of this shit.

I know a questgiver when I see one.

Hey guys is it bad if the lightning is counting down

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious. Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

this is what teenagers in movies looked like during the iraq war

14yo: “So are you gonna give me napalm or what” Me: “…excuse me?” 14yo: “Napalm! For overdoses!” Me: “[laughing hysterically] …dude, that’s like the Duterte response to overdoses.”

Adding to the alt text: figures in winter coats are engaged in a winter duel. They are crisply drawn. They're fine. The wintry background, however, melts into multiple shades of gray and white snow, slush, trees, and buildings that is absolutely bananas.

FYSA, the lead story is not "current GenXers brains are bad because lead", it's that lead poisoning disproportionately impacted poor and minority communities and those voters died younger. Also AIDS killed a lot of young progressive GenXers.

i don’t disagree with the larger point here, but i do think it sort of matters that the first wave of punks were all squarely boomers, not gen-xers. i think it matters that they were *british* boomers, too, who had a *very* different experience in childhood and teenage years than american boomers.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

Poultry from my walk around the neighborhood tonight. That guinea is trouble. It’s tapping on cars. All the way around & going to various cars tapping them like it’s casing them to steal. It’s the biggest drama here. (No one cares.) I love it.

This!!! Danya is correct in the things AND I will say I am a former user both of Substack and of generative AI (I thought it would be a fun visual thing to supplement a fiction project) and I have abandoned both. You can abandon shit after learning it sucks. Take the L and take all the W's after.

The Red River in Winnipeg is up to 14.6 feet James. That is just a smidge below unofficial minor flood stage. The Red has not been this high in Winnipeg since May 21, 2023.

"Richelieu, waste that prick!"

The coal fire that had been burning in the bunker of boiler room 5 is finally extinguished. The bottom of the watertight bulkhead adjoining the bunker was dinged and warped where it had been red hot. Black oil was rubbed over the damaged area to give it a normal appearance.

This thread is the reason I have an unofficial campaign to send Rick Westhead somewhere that's never even heard of hockey for at least six months, because he's been doing this work for far longer than can be good for anyone's brain.

why has jason statham not played a papal guard in a series of movies

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Lol

In March 2025, Orbán effectively banned Pride marches in Hungary. In June 2025 Budapest had the biggest Pride march in it’s 30 year history. This is the way.

Shut up, everyone! You’re gonna want to hear this!

MOOSE POTENTIAL #uglydogs

Roko's Basilisk showed up to kill me, so I told it that my last wish was for it to do an image merge of the headshots of JD Vance, Rod Dreyer, and Ross Douthat, and there was a flash and suddenly agents from the Federation are here telling me that I saved humanity's future and everyone's free now

Keep imagining Orbán thinking to himself "I've got the machinery in place to seize and keep power anyway but if I do they're going to keep sending JD Vance to talk to me and l just don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to talk to JD Vance anymore."

AT LAST after nearly two years I FINALLY FOUND IT

To the doomers who keep saying Trump will rig the 2026 and 2028 elections: Do not concede in advance

I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀

meant to post this earlier but I flaked; oh well, enjoy 👍

So I wasn't going to quote tweet this toad (quoted person) but this afternoon I got elote from a street vendor and I can confidently say that this is wrong, people love this shit, they will line up for it and fork over handfuls of cash.

Tattoo convention challenges: Walk out without 1) spending a bunch of money on prints I don't need nor have wall space for — success! ✅ 2) ending up fucking depressed for reasons largely of my own making — total failure ❌ 1/2 ain't bad?

EXTREMELY CORRECT and why I'm celebrating

It's always messy and hard to discern early light from false dawn, but the past 4 years in Europe: - Mobilized behind Ukraine, and dusted the cobwebs off its defense industrial base - Admitted Sweden and Finland to NATO - Began a rapid and permanent shift away from Russian gas (1/2)

best thread I've seen on the Swalwell coverage

Spring has sprung. The pelicans are back.

Not even going to read the details or reasons, simply happy to echo the warning from the Government of Canada that people should immediately stop using AXE body spray. recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-rec...

The tl;dr takeaway from this very long thread: 1) There is an entire underground market for any type of account you can imagine. 2) Sites know about this and work to detect people buying and repurposing accounts fast, because even an extra half hour can make a huge difference in profit.

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

“but maybe they really do think I have potential!” Here’s my test for that: wear an engagement ring (or do what I did and get married at 24 idk). Get your husband (enlist a friend) to pick you up from work in front of them. The reaction will be telling.

This documentary deals with WW2, but gives the overview of more advanced pressure mines. And they have counters. So, your minesweeper does 2 passes before certifying the area. Oops! The counter in the mine was set to 3, so the next ship goes BOOM! Pressure Triggered Sea Mines youtu.be/w3toVK9tKCI
