I'm an Alberta based artist who has a thing for storms & space. I do commissions & have originals & 50 different canvas & paper prints available earthskyart.ca/shop #art #painting

I've got some pre-orders I won't see until late 2027 but it's also one of the best things you can do for an author.

I resisted reading this for a while because how can someone write a book about apples being scary. Well the answer is have Chuck write it. And then you're afraid of apples for 6 months. Recommended.

Post vax update. Covid arm is hella sore (probably worst of any I've had), flu arm sorta sore. A bit dragging this morning but probably more related to not sleeping well (coz sore arms)

Art Studio safety? What what what? Yes that's a thing. And you should know about it.

His hotel room on the 39th floor will have very nice windows.

sToP inTeFEriNg iN eLEctiOns Says the most election interfering country on the planet.

As a Canadian who is subjected to a steady diet of US politics, it's pretty clear that Democrats have been studying the Neville Chamberlain book of How to Win Friends and Lose Elections. FFS.

Oh hey. Bluesky (on Android) now has autorotate!

I'm pretty sure @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social is on the no side of this. It needs to be stopped. Encryption backdoors will lead to government & police overreach and gives massive attack surfaces to criminals. Backdoored encryption is the same as no encryption.

Can someone remind why the ucp want to get rid of the RCMP?

Really good thread on a really good idea.

Day 12 about 5 hours on the lower left middle

A pipeline to nowhere for a resource that is in end of life. But at least it going to cost $40 billion of our money. (Not including several hundred billion in clean up that well all be paying for and not the US companies pulling this shit)

Toronto did not fuck this up (at least this part)

This is not a Green party voter vote splitting issue.

Close up of the area.

I hope Walter gets a 21 phaser salute from the deck of a nuclear wessel.

After seeing Serbia & Brazil, BC non-voters should feel fucking disgusted with themselves.

Come on TO. Lula this.

Tomorrow morning will see the US interfering in the results of the Brazilian election. Put money on it. (Unless it happens tonight)

Completely irrelevant but Lula looks like a nice man you'd have coffee with and talk about his grandkids and bolsonaro looks like a sleazy used car salesman.

My translate Portuguese to English link is getting a work out tonight.
