I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

Rapist Cal Foote is playing professional hockey again. Sorry Canes fans. Looks like we (me being a VGK fan) will both inevitably be in the same boat 😮‍💨

A brilliant analogy and exactly right.

The drunken rapist war criminal sure is a psycho.

Yes they do! lol

The PWHL, now entering its third season, has faced its share of challenges, but Jayna Hefford has been its biggest champion nationalpost.com/feature/jayn...

This is like when #OttCity promoted ppl coming DT or to Market with free parking but cost of transit remains the same. If we want to incentivize behaviour and be true to our words and aspirations we need to rethink our approaches.

The Mayor will release his draft budget today. We know there's money for Lansdowne, but how will the budget affect people who rely on more important city services? www.youtube.com/live/C94IU-g...

On 20 November there will be a Micromoon version of a New Moon. Occurs when New Moon coincides with apogee (farthest point in Moon's Earth orbit). 🔭 🧪

As economic uncertainty grows we need a city government that has everyone's backs to ensure affordability for all. That's @arieltroster.com's and my commitment as we approach the 2026 budget.

Lansdowne 2.0 doesn’t give Ottawa what it needs. The plan is built around the limits of a public-private deal that leaves the city with hundreds of millions in new debt for a project that won’t serve residents well.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

ICE agents are being seen wearing Halloween masks in the Los Angeles area.

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

Just got my negatives back from my latest roll of manually guided film astrophotography. For some reason trying to post these pics on the bird app got my account locked and labeled for "inauthentic behavior." Hard to get more authentic #astrophotography than manually guided #film.

The US and Canada scrambled fighter jets to identify and intercept four Russian fighter jets planes off Alaska, it is ninth time in 2025 that NORAD has had to intercept Russian fighters jets doing practice runs on the US and Canada.

Watermelon aurora - sandwiched green and red colors - is now fully outside the camera field of view in Maine. These pillars are reaching high into the sky and could be seen from states further south when looking north. Take a test shot with your camera. go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble. Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it. There is nothing hidden in their plan.

Fucking weird choice, Carney. This guy is obviously a straight-up fascist who deserves no time. You can interview him and other fascists about trade policy, I guess, but bloody hell, a Cabinet meeting? Please @mark-carney.bsky.social

WTF is this???

Maybe Steve Bannon was booked that day. Fuck... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is exactly why MAGA’s reckless rhetoric is dangerous. Robert Malone, a member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, published a meme-filled blog post loaded with violent imagery aimed at government officials.

I want to remind everyone as we discuss the CPI/inflation numbers today, from July 30: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reducing or ending the collection of data that is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...

Bonnie Critchley doesn’t miss a thing! Not only does she know a lot about her neighbours, she also knows a lot about how Poilievre operates. This is her statement about Poilievre who sounds desperate & up to his old tricks again! #cdnpoli

Who says that people don't watch women's sports!? Set a north American attendance record for a single game. Canada takes the win over US. #RugbyCA #OneSquad #Ottawa #Canada

Every summer, the Winnipeg Fringe Festival draws in performers from around the world to show off their stories. This year, The Auntie Show, written by Jo MacDonald, is the only Indigenous play that made it through the lottery.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Ottawa fans, this is the one you were waiting for, as the team has signed Rory Guilday to a three-year contract.

Noticing a theme here.

The world is watching the death march of Gaza. Canada, like the rest of the west is silent. Gaza is where western rhetoric about international law, the rules based order and duty to protect went to die. But the international criminal court is documenting the crimes and the criminals.

Indigenous leaders and members of the federal and territorial governments met today in Yellowknife to sign an agreement releasing $300 million in funds for NWT: Our Land for the Future, which will protect an area 7 times larger than Nova Scotia. thenarwhal.ca/nwt-pfp-fund...

🧵 Last week, CBC released an article on Active Clubs and Second Sons in the Hamilton area, as well as this video investigation. We are glad they’re covering this important topic, building on our years of work exposing these groups and their activities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c66x...

ICYMI: From international experience, to scoring accolades, to top goalie performances, the Ottawa Charge have five very interesting invites heading into camp this season. I broke it all down for @thehockeynewsw.bsky.social: thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/...

A few of us have talked about this, and how this kind of discussion needs to be front and centre in municipal elections; too often our cities are governed by suburban and rural decision-making at the expense of urban quality of life. That’s not a call for de-amalgamation , but for #PlacesForPeople

Just a year ago, the US was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, Zoë Schlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months. The reason: Trump's fear of science.

clowns, cowards and criminals

The New York Times was more skeptical of the academic qualifications of a black woman who had secured tenure and become the president of Harvard than they were of a white man who washed out of a grad program with a massive scandal and then became a white nationalist troll.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Businesses that undercut the local labour market for short term gain are now shocked to find local labour market has been undercut.

Reminder: 55 Canadians have been detained by ICE. So far. Don't be the next one to fall.

Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.
