We don’t trust TikTok because it’s run by China. Oh, when it’s us it’s different.

I rarely feel my age, but then sometimes I say things like, “oh, your jacket is great. It looks very smart.” And then I feel like I am 100.

When you live in the Maritimes, it’s not “touch grass” it’s “touch salt”.

Facebook is aggressively pushing me to order shit from Temu, buy a lemon sex toy, and engage in American culture war BS. It won’t be long before the occasional adorable tardigrade slide is not worth it anymore.

Unsolicited Styx pic.

Who is this sweaty out of breath man on the Current who is arguing that selling oil is OBVIOUSLY more rational than worrying about climate change? And why does he have airspace??? And why are they interviewing him while he is evidently climbing a mountain or suffering a heart attack?

G&M out there busy finding all the dark linings in silver clouds. We need to stop treating homes like investment products. Sigh.

Hey @cr8tivecandy.bsky.social I loved your novel!! I hope you’re writing the sequel as fast as you can because I can’t wait to find out what happens to Joe, Jesse and Co Everyone should read Hope Falls from the Sky! Great new writing!! ❤️

There were Russians nearby who witnessed Shag Harbour.

Full day ahead of splendid weird needy UFO exploration.

You may be shocked to hear this, but there are some NERDS at the UFO XPO.

Remember when governments used to pass one law or amendment at a time, like before they jammed them altogether into this bastardized turducken pizza poutine situation? Sigh. Good times.

You might believe that Nova Scotia is chock full of antiques if you believe all of the signs pointing to “Old Trunk”

You can go your whole word nerd life and then suddenly one day in the shower, you suddenly realize that deodorant de-odors your body. De-odor-ant I mean, diode and geode or words so until today I think I have been holding the idea that “deode” was the root. So.

Med beds only work for lizard people. It is known.

Whoever recommended Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch to me—what did I do to deserve that? I found it insufferable and exhausting.

Come on, University of Manitoba. You’re responsible for what happens on your premises. An un-peer-reviewed dissemination of hurtful hateful nonsense happened on your grounds. Take ownership and amend your policies. #ally #wearealltreatypeople (Reposted w/ correction - originally I read it as U de M)

Driver of bus 1279, route 39 is a hero and a credit to his people. First time I have wanted to tip a driver. The bridge closed as we were on the approach and first he said he had to take us back to the Bridge Terminal but then he said NEVER MIND WE ARE DOING MAGAZINE HILL and I love him.

Just past the airport. So ready to be home.

Current state: dark road. Rain. Northern NL. Uninhabited-by-people forestland for miles in all directions. Elusive moose lurking behind every tree. Blues on the radio. ADVENTURE.

First names of candidates running for office across NL: Parrot, Loyola and Pleaman.

Come by Chance — level achieved.

Reporting in from Arnold’s Cove: good coffee, sandwiches and stew located. This place is a find. Everyone must come.

Found this today, so that was cool. #RonHynesMemorial #ferryland

A thing we have learned on this trip: “end of season” in NL is August 31. Heaven help you if you need a coffee or a pee outside the city.

Worth the 5:30 am wake up.

Up and out before dawn to go catch the sunrise at Cape Spear. Then — the culmination (I hope) of the Great Touton Hunt of 2025!

Todd wants to know, where have all the mines gone?? No, that should say mimes. Where have all the MIMES gone?

KOs is playing up the street. I am not mentally prepared for anything approaching a cool scene though. Also there are three men sitting nearby arguing vociferously in what I am 90% sure is Ukrainian and I feel very cosmopolitan. Lol.

Second wind! But not George Streeting. Yellow Belly!

Is it wrong to wish that an alien race resembling radical peace monks in temperament and looking like Nelvana’s magi from the 70s cartoon would just appear, disappear all our weapons and coddle us into being better? I demand cuddly tyranny.

1983 Tommy Shaw is just Rosanna Arquette in drag. Prove me wrong.

You can’t tell me that Newfoundland isn’t full of cryptids. They probably ride on the moose.🫎 Looks hella squatchy here.

wtf Wondery? I swear to god, AI is sentient and it has a mission: make us stupider.

“We call it co-housing.” My dude on CBC just reinvented rooming houses. Wait, no, it comes with a cruise director I guess. #halisky

My book HOPE FALLS FROM THE SKY is now live on the big online store! www.amazon.ca/Hope-Falls-C...

Is code switching a thing in non-English countries?

Old witches looking at Facebook groups with 300 posts like “IS IT SAFE TO DO MOON WATER HELP I HAVE READ SO MUCH MIXED COMMENTS” and muttering “this is why we keep covens to 13. Ain’t nobody got time for this.”

This just in— Jason Momoa, Josh Johnson and Nicholas Hoult are burning up my DMs on TikTok AND Keanu Reeves keeps making new accounts to follow me on Instagram. Like, boys, the week has seven days, no need to fight! #lotstogoaround **** Dear scammers: Does this shit EVER work? 🙄

they've eliminated 90% of carbon emissions, their AI runs on salt water and doesnt lie to them OR turn into a nazi, and JKR was keelhauled by angry fans after her 3rd transphobic tweet and no one even thinks about her anymore.

Marjorie Taylor Greene championing abuse survivors? Bernie Sanders applauding a Trump move? I don’t know who’s writing this story but some of these twists are starting to get unbelievable.

NOOOOOOOOO MY CHILDHOOD 🥺🥺🥺 @lathe-operator.bsky.social

What the hell is Lemon 8 and why should I care and who keeps asking for this crap?

Duncan McCue had a guest this morning making the case for “stop being nice, only might matters in this world of today” and I am not buying it. Whether it’s a means vs ends argument or cooperation vs competition it always comes down to the same thing: hit them before they hurt you. Anti-progress.

Time to disable the automatic flushers. Learn to flush your own selves ya lazy lumps.

If cultural influence could make people gay, every single woman raised in the 70s, 80s and 90s seeing the world through the male gaze would be lesbians. I know Subarus are popular but they’re not THAT popular!

Publication proof is ready on IngramSpark AND it’s raining. Today rocks.

“Externalities” in economics gotta go. Make stuff cost what it costs so we can make smarter choices as consumers. Oh, this thing that is cheap now is abusing human rights? Or leaving us with a generational mess to clean up? OVER. GLOBALLY. Suddenly local is more attractive and consumerism is ☠️
