I subscribed to the Touch Grass feed to see pleasant photos people people take while going for walks. A surprising number of posts are from fat dudes walking naked.

As we settle into the new house I've been putting a lot of stuff out by the kerb for people to take. Yesterday someone took one of our bags of leaves.

Wow, you mean a crow could choose paint colours for our new house in just one month?

What're your thoughts on Scottie Barnes' new hairstyle?🤔 (via @Raptors)

A fellow of the @royalsociety.org harnessing science in the service of inhumanity. More people are dying in Ukraine thanks to his actions. But I guess that’s still somehow not in violation of their code of conduct.

Uh, who's the one attacking it, Pete?

The real outcome of the Alberta referendum is "we'll stay in Canada but we FUCKING HATE IMMIGRANTS and we have a mandate to make their lives miserable, try to stop us and we'll have another hissy fit." I can't celebrate that.

What time should it be? Most of western Canada is doing away with the twice-yearly time change and moving to permanent daylight saving time, but permanent standard time would be better for our health. By me in @chco-tv.bsky.social chco.tv/column-what-...

Daniel Allain has been elected the new leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick. #nbpoli

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a pic of a boat you like.

top tip: If your boss doesn't like your work, tell him you did it with AI! Then he'll have to pretend to like it!

Every accusation is a confession with these guys.

My mother had skin cancer when I was a kid, so yes, I did hear of it.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

So...a country with a deserves-to-be-overthrown government and diesel shortages so bad that vehicles line up for miles has agreed to sell diesel to another country with a deserves-to-be-overthrown governemnt with diesel shortages? Is that what I am hearing?

As of today, our new newspaper about research, higher education and industrial strategy has a name - and a purpose. Going live 1 January.

This might be my favourite anatomically incorrect Halloween skeleton yet...a chicken with skeletal feathers and coxcomb!

After yet again leaving a bunch of junk, including an old wooden cabinet, out with my trash and having it disappear without complaint I just have to say: the St Stephen garbage collectors kick ass.

Dear local business owners: a Facebook page is not a website. Repeat: a Facebook page is not a website. Ugh.

I spent all day Friday riding the rails from McAdam to St. Stephen and back, part of an annual fundraiser for the station restoration. Here's my story for @chco-tv.bsky.social chco.tv/mcadam-train...

The bridge at the St. Stephen-Calais border crossing off Milltown Boulevard is set to close for repairs for about six weeks. chco.tv/st-stephen-b...

Today in random shit the previous owners left in our new house:

When we were tearing down the rickety garage at our old house this summer I found a rusty old axe head I was going to throw away. But my father in law took it and yesterday returned it all cleaned up with a new handle he crafted. Now I wanna chop some stuff!

This guy, who flies this ultralight most evenings over St Stephen all summer, is kind of a life goal for me.

There's still one lighthouse on Canada's east coast that has human keepers, on Machias Seal Island. But the job is less "lighthouse keeper" and more "human flagpole". Because the island is claimed by both Canada and the US, and we send keepers there as a demonstration of sovereignty.

How a fake AI columnist duped Canadian media outlets. Daniel Robson almost became a budding star in Canadian conservative media. There was just one problem: He doesn't exist, by @ilkersezer.bsky.social www.turkiyetoday.com/world/exclus... via @turkiyetoday.bsky.social @perreaux.bsky.social

And here's the story, featuring a photo of the dog in question! chco.tv/st-stephen-s...

Especially not when I have games night.

No matter what happens in the 2026 midterms -- or even the 2028 presidential election -- Canadians will never trust the United States the way it used to. The north remembers. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/29/o...
