If you need to go somewhere and not spend any money, please visit your local library. Library crawls are awesome. Every library is its own little world.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

I lost a lot of respect for the Artemis crew with this White House visit, especially Canadian Jeremy Hansen. I couldn't find 1 article that explained what compelled them to accept the invitation. It's pretty clear that none of them are Trump fans, so why not say no? Do none of them have any ethics?

Not your ordinary daffodils. #FlowerReport

sorry for this unhinged post

When it happens

The artist Mark Winklemann, aka “Beeple,” has a new art installation in Berlin depicting tech billionaires on robot dogs with hyper-realistic silicone faces. They poop images taken with their visual sensory mechanism. I am both laughing and dreading the nightmares I will have from this.

Finally some good news!

Well, those boots were not made for walking

I always do a bit of an eyeroll when folks call sports ball groups "our team" The corporate structure may be local, but very few of the players are from here. And if they get a better gig, or are traded, off they go! In the Whitecaps, only 5 are Canadian, only 3 are from BC. NONE from Vancouver.

Can anyone explain to me an actual, logical, intelligent reason for having a gender reveal? Or for knowing the gender of your baby before birth? If you want a party, have a party. Just stop with this stupid and unnecessary bullshit.

What a shame. Anyway... www.lbc.co.uk/article/big-...

A reminder for people who miss the experience of going to Blockbuster to browse the rows of VHS & DVD's- libraries carry a selection of new & old films. You'd be surprised what you can find just visiting a place that will loan you books. They also have digital services. Support your local library.

A fucking travesty! @texastech.bsky.social - I hope all of your teachers and students fight back.

Please stop calling it Tzatziki sauce. It's Tzatziki. Full stop. It is never anything else and therefor doesn't need the modifier. Do y'all call it ketchup sauce? I so tired.

This is very cool!

How nice for the residents of the City of Langley that their own civic gov thinks they're stupid 🙄

I have a bunch of new followers, probably due to this starter pack: bsky.app/profile/did:... - Thanks for adding me! - Sorry for your upcoming boredom 😂

The insults towards Canada is actually only a small part of the reason US tourism is way down. There are a number of other reasons, but chief for me (and others I know) is the very real chance we could be sent to a fucking camp by ICE. I may very well never cross the border again.

A thing I've noticed about disability access in music venues. There is a fair amount of access for those using a wheelchair, but none for those with a walker or scooter. This is one reason that I will no longer go to stadium shows. There is NO way I can manage those steep stairs with just a cane...

Nobody involved is old enough to remember when Richmond (briefly) had the slogan: Living in Richmond means never having to say you're Surrey

As we've previously shown, these schools are predominantly religious, including ones that teach creationism and exclude LGBTQ2S+ students/staff. We've long called for this funding to be cut and rolled back into the struggling public school system. www.bchumanist.ca/public_educa...

1. An eco-friendly footwear company becoming an AI company means it was NEVER about being eco-friendly (surprise! 🙄) B. Did nobody learn anything from the dot-com bubble crash?

Same in Vancouver!

If you are the type of person who NEEDS god to tell you what is right or wrong, I'm not sure we can be friends. That goes quadruple for AI. Fun fact: Only two or three * of the commandments are worth following. The rest are shite

Very cool! But you still won't be able to use it for library books in Canada 😩

Is it good that Orbán lost the election? YES! But I'm starting to see posts about how wonderful (and good looking) Magyar is. He's been accused of abuse (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9...) and has made racist comments (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9...), so maybe we want to hold off on the fawning?

Are you a parent or caregiver of a New Westminster student? This Thursday New West DPAC is hosting an education seminar. Mischa Oak (he/him), is a former BC teacher & SOGI Lead with more than 20 yrs of experience in SOGI policy advocacy, education, and implementation. I hope you can attend.

I don't want to do business with any company that feels the need to seek approval from religious leaders. (Also, fuck AI)

It's a cold, breezy Saturday morning in #Orkney and our balls are wet.

1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

Oh, I knew it! They tried to charge me late fees for a video game I didn't rent. So I tore up my card and left it on the counter. Never went back. Didn't miss it. Also, if I'm ever in bend, I will probably visit the last Blockbuster there just to say I did. So I guess that would reset everything?

In grade 8 I took an household accounting course. There was a section on taxes. I don't remember any of the details, but I doubt that anything I learned in 1978 would be of much use now. Disclaimer: I'm Canadian. The tax software here is pretty easy to use for most claims. Sorry.
