I’m Neil B 🇨🇦 🍉

Hey, @stevedangle20.bsky.social , @bobbymacsports.bsky.social has started a Blue Jackets YouTube channel since being let go by the Jackets (they’re simulcasting the TV team on the radio now). Maybe you could have a chat with Bobby Mac on SDPN about the Jackets situation.

Thought of the day: Who wrote the Letter to the Romans, Saul of Tarsus or Paul the Apostle? Who killed Goliath, El-Hanaan of Bethlehem or King David of Bethlehem? Who was the first Pope, Shimon bar Yonah or St. Peter? Even the Bible teaches us not to deadname people.

Hey, @stevedangle20.bsky.social , ready for a good Canada Day?

The Divine Miss M has a cover song out that deserves more attention. youtu.be/uBj57ivPsxQ?...

We're getting REALLY close to the Nuremberg-Laws logic here: "Trans people are residents of the US, not citizens, because they do not deserve to be citizens". Anyway, to appease my critics I'll note that it couldn't possibly happen in the US because democracy or "good people" or something.

Vital Arctic sea ice shrank to tie its lowest measured level for the winter, the season when ice grows, as a warming Earth shattered records across the continents.

Included in this story is a discussion of how solar has been scaling. Assuming that continues into 2026, we'll be installing over 3 GW of solar daily. Ballparking the typical capacity factor, that's going to be the equivalent of about 5 nuclear reactors every week for the entire year.

#CBJ hasn’t quite got a complete grasp of the whole “come from behind in the third period”. Hint: Gentlemen, you still need to score one more goal than the bad guys before the final whistle.

You know what is going to be insufferable? Bobby Mac has called a goal for a #cbj player during the second intermission, three games straight, and he’s been right all 3 games.

This year’s winner of the NHL’s trade deadline: uncertain This year’s loser of the trade deadline: all of the poor saps running NHL websites and fansites who have to update rosters within 30 seconds of a trade being announced or the fans will be angry at them.

This just in: Kristi Noem has been named as Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. In her first public statement since the appointment, Ms. Noem said that she is confident that she will be able to work with Nick Fury to make America safer.

Worry is growing by the day about a missing Cowichan woman. 34-year-old Rosemarie Harry has now been missing from Duncan for one month.

@stevedangle20.bsky.social , here’s my first try on Tankathon today. I blame you!

Apropos of nothing—Wichita Lineman is an imagist masterpiece. Interpreting it makes it weaker. Just perform the words & the music with all the clarity and honesty and integrity you have & the song itself will always be a showstopper. A capella, jazz, R&B, Norwegian metal, it transcends genre.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Good news, my American friends! The federal statute of limitations on bribery is 5 years! All you need to do is to: 1. Register as a Republican 2. Make sure Ted Cruz is the nominee 3. Vote Democrat, like everyone not married to Cruz. 4. Prosecute all of the plutocrats who supported King Cheetoh.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Hey, @stevedangle20.bsky.social , was just chatting with a friend and I realized something: did you know that it’s been a literal week since a day went by in the NHL where at least one player *didn’t* score a hat trick? Jan 21st was the last time nobody scored 3+ goals in one game. Wild, eh?

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

I don’t know if Trump cares if we are upset or if we are killed. But he cares about money. What if we went on strike for a week? Americans spend $365 billion per week on personal consumption. If $365 billion drops to zero, the U.S. would lose roughly 1.3% of its annual GDP in just seven days.

President Trump will not be attending the #Superbowl this year. Apparently, he’s not a fan of real Patriots.

My New Year’s resolution is to eat more mutton. You know what they say—new year, new ewe.

Happy belated anniversary to @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, his wife and his family! I’m not a stalker, as evidenced that I had no idea until I watched @jimmykimmel.com on YouTube during my lunch hour and will not remember the date unless you shout me out next year. Blessings on you & yours!

Hey there, @theathletic.com just sayin

Hey, @kidscanpress.bsky.social, I’m wondering if you are investigating your legal options for the abuse of your trademarks & copyright by the US government & their Department of Defence in their unlawful use of Franklin the Turtle? None of the news coverage I’ve seen mentioned that possibility.

A Canadian publisher has called out the United States for using the image of a children's book character to brag about murdering unarmed people in international waters. This is a decrepit gangster state. This is the world of Donald Trump. This is demonic.

Watching @mattbaume.bsky.social’s video essay on #Wicked and with one throw-away line he smacked me upside the head. How did I miss that the Wizard literally makes Dillamond into a scape*goat*? As smart as I am, I can be an absolute idiot sometimes, too. Erm… thanks, Matt?

@writerlion.bsky.social Produce gardening, history, anthropology, the arts, AND the Ravens? Yeah, that’s worth a follow. ✌️

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

It's only autism if it comes from the Tylenol region of France otherwise it's just sparkling persuadoscience

i saw this and i’m not gonna lie i needed to see this. i hope it helps others not feel guilty that we can’t do more
