Downright masochistic lol

Well, David Eby did say B.C. needed a strong majority government

I have nothing worthwhile to add to the municipal election discourse other than that our baby will one day be an Civic-Minded Citizen, god be willing

It's so foggy we can't even see where the Seabus is going. We might not even be going to Waterfront. They could be taking us to New West Quay for all I know

That H.G. Wells Wishbone episode with the Morlocks.

The #Canucks have scored 13 goals on 45 shots during their first two games of the season. Just like we all predicted

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Called it. 😎

What is happening. I can't keep up. #BCpoli

The rumour on reddit is that along with Eby's snap election call today, @richardzussman.bsky.social is going to announce a run for Saanich with the NDP...!

mmygod

Also, I've decided that driving in Tuscany is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than driving in Provence. Tuscans tailgate you two inches from your bumper, but it's a *polite* tailgate. In Provence there are two speeds allowed: exactly the speed limit or 50 above, regardless of road. It's a coin toss.

Travelling around southern France right now and I regret to inform everyone that the AI slop poster scourge has also spread to continental Europe, as it seems every backwater brasserie and u-pick farm has discovered ChatGPT simultaneously.

What the actual

Holy shit. I don't think I've ever opened my wallet so fast. I'll pay anything to watch this. Anything.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

I don't know what it is but there's something that just tickles me about the thought of Steph and Ayesha Curry grabbing some fish and chips at the Flying Beaver

[Exit Queen.]

Left a friends condo in Mt Pleasant as it started to rain and just got back to our place in North Van as the thunder really got going. Some absolutely cracking lightning storms out there. Beauty 🌩️

I generally don't believe in taking pictures of strangers without their consent, but there's a woman on this bus with a giant hair clip in the shape of the vial of llama transformation potion from The Emperor's New Groove and I dearly wish I could share this visually with as many people as possible.

in fairness, i can see why N. Biggar might want a little leeway here specifically

Here’s my video on Ken Sim’s plebiscite announcement today. I asked the mayor for a *specific law* that he wanted changed and strengthened if this passed, and I encourage you to watch for his answer.

🗣️ THE MEDIAN HUMAN BEING HAS LITTLE INSIGHT OR INTROSPECTION INTO WHY THEY THINK, FEEL, OR DO THINGS, NOR INTEREST IN DEVELOPING THESE SKILLS, AND THAT IS LIKELY A NON-NEGLIGIBLE CONTRIBUTOR TO OUR CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS

FINALLY

omg I found the picture ❤️

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

Jesus fucking christ

fellow millennials, let's take a second to appreciate how great it feels to be in the prime marketing demographic catered to by all of the culture. I get now why boomers wanted it to last forever

Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, Tangerine - in that order. It's relevant that each features a whole lot of meandering driving (it's LA, after all) to get to people's houses where Things Go Horribly Sideways, and it's made pretty clear that life is more about the journey than it is the destination

Messi is just insane. His little legs shuffling along until suddenly he's a burst of speed and he's making a pitch-perfect cross into the 18 yard box. Neither of the goals are his and yet ARG wouldn't be here without him. #WorldCup

Here's a niche post for the Vancouver urbanists on Bluesky: I listened to a brief interview with Michael Geller this afternoon and now I can't unhear that his voice is basically a gender-swapped Moira Rose. You're welcome.

Whaaaaaat is France doing here. #WorldCup

An amazing quote from Lindsey Graham in this Atlantic story. It really captures an essential truth about politics that too few people ever really come to terms with. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

News1130 is arguably even a bigger loss for Vancouver than 650, and that was already massive. This is awful.

Unbelievable. Fuck you Rogers.

I am very sad I had a 5pm client and missed most of the US-BEL match.

There's a whole bunch of Very Weird Leftist Americans online who earnestly think this is all a-OK because they disagreed with the initial red

Holy shit!!!!!! Cabo Verde!!! #WorldCup

Messi is the GOAT, but if Cabo Verde pulls this off, this will make Brazil-Germany in 2014 look like a backyard scrimmage. People will be roasting Argentina for the next century.
