I love and hate this simultaneously ew.com/muppets-revi...

Anyone else see Oscar the Grouch when scrolling past this quickly?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I make a point to buy local craft beer but I’d be ok with this being on NB shelves

Spider-Man Brand New Day does not disappoint

What an encouraging sign of how much our politicians care about their jobs. PC MLA Bill Oliver reading AI slop directly into the record in the legislature. www.reddit.com/r/newbrunswi...

Playing Wavelength. Category is “Not a Sandwich” vs. “Sandwich”. My wife whips out HOT DOG as her clue. 🌭 🥪 🫤

Must be co-hosted with @jamesmullinger.bsky.social. Alt title: “That’s Where Zellers Used to Be”

cool retro fan trailer for Andor: youtu.be/t9Pccq0DZVc?...

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Voting’s cool, fool 🗳️

Cosmic Crisp Ankle Roll satirical synthpop, you’ve probably never heard of them

New Brunswick, my wife moved her boots to the basement and is currently washing her winter coats so you can go ahead and disregard the forecast of mild weather this week.

Really disappointed to see @govnb.bsky.social @susanholtnb.bsky.social dropping a made-in-New-Brunswick solution. Being a good customer for local innovation companies is an important way the government can foster innovation. 😞

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

@raydoesdata.bsky.social the flare you didn’t know you were missing

thanks, algorithm. 10 outta 10 there

Is the December issue of Costco Connection magazine the new Sears Wish Book for grown ups? *circles a block of aged cheddar and a box of bake at home croissants*

Excuse me, NYT Spelling Bee!?!

Embarrassing, frustrating, and tragic. 😞 I learned this summer that I only had one MMR shot as a child. Consulted with my pharmacist when I went in for flu+covid shots. I’ll be back in for an MMR booster shot this month. 💪 💉

The blockbuster movies might get top billing but every fall when my daughters rewatch Gilmore Girls, I am reminded of how much @seangunn.bsky.social crushed it as Kirk Gleason.

50th anniversary 4K glow up of Jaws is well worth a trip to an IMAX theatre, especially if you’ve never seen it in theatre. Until today, I’d only seen it on a television and the big screen experience was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⚠️ The airspace around and over a wildfire is closed to all aircraft, including drones, except those directly involved in fighting fires. If a drone is spotted in the area, emergency response teams need to ground their operations, which puts lives at risk. tc.canada.ca/sites/defaul...

Me: *listening to Amish Paradise* My wife: Turn that down. The windows are open. You don’t want the neighbours to know you listen to Weird Al. Me: He just SOLD OUT Madison Square Garden! She did not find that compelling

to the people who are giving advertisers the ability to generate ai slop songs that sing their message to us: you owe the world a huge apology

Someone in my neighbourhood is practicing trumpet and it feels vaguely European to me taking lunch on our stone patio with the brass in the background, although the British national anthem followed by a Christmas carol kind of took me out of the moment

Imagine explaining this to the insurance company

Following @weratedogs.com is excellent for my mental health

Saw this over on LinkedIn and my genuine first thought was “this has @raydoesdata.bsky.social vibes”

Me last night: wife & I enrolled in acting classes; celebrity instructor was the blond guy from Party Down, who claimed he was in Lord of the Rings but nobody knew about it. I freaked out at a surprise musical activity because I don't like to sing in public & I was "HERE TO LEARN ACTING!"

Spotify served me an a cappella version of (Don’t Fear) The Reaper, which definitely is missing cowbell open.spotify.com/track/36BDZ7...

There's a whole lot of this throughout the entire Sun-Times Summer 2025 section, I can't find most of the people or publications referred to or quoted in any of this (some of the publications exist but i can't find the cited people in them)

In the bsky echo chamber this is already cemented in. But I might accidentally send it to my uncle in Timmins. Great read

I hate that my country is a cautionary tale, but yeah, listen up Canadians.

I wish we had cool “I voted” stickers but let’s save that money for the CBC. Regardless, I VOTED! 💪 Pro trip Fredericton: dinner time proved to be a quiet time to go. Line was 2 people.

This election comes down to one thing. Do you want a guy that successfully ran two central banks through two massive crisis, at the head of a centrist-progressive party or do you want an angry ex paper boy at the head of a MAGA hat wearing cabal.

came here to say the same thing
