Wow, the American right wing-owned National Post newspaper here in Canada sure wants you to not like Mark Carney today. It’s no surprise — as usual, they’re not being subtle about their bias. That’s ok. Makes me even more sure he’s the right candidate to beat Pierre Poilievre. #CanadaStrong

Anyway it’s so weird that all these end stage things are happening but all we still have to do regular chores and get dental care and stuff

If you love movies, I am begging you to watch more old movies, foreign movies with subtitles, genres you might think you don't like or aren't familiar with. If you're not doing these things you're missing out on some of the most incredible movies ever made. 🎥 #filmsky

Saw two David Lynch movies on the big screen over the weekend and noodling over a short essay about why it's really important to embrace weird art right now. TLDR: Authoritarians always come for weird art.

My advice to disaffected young men is to get a squire p bass and join a band and your whole women only date rich guys reactionary politics vibe will seem pretty silly when a lady breaks up with her real estate boyfriend to date your broke ass

It's a scary time

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

So... what are we getting up to today? Sincerely, Dr. Crepes.

I have never in my life been so excited about the Ides of March.

I went in search of vegetables for weekend dinner. No broccoli or cauliflower that was not US. Did a pivot and will roast some cabbage and parsnips instead. Lemons from Spain! Time to get creative and stay resolute. #resist #boycott #canadastrong

It would be great if the Canadian government would shut down their X (Twitter) accounts and move to Bluesky.

"What can I do?" That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question. Below is a video with my answer:

The way i get around the uncomfortable truth that power pop is better than alternative rock is by making the definition of alternative rock elastic enough to include power pop

Nothing refreshes my memory of what I need from the grocery store like coming home from the grocery store.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I feel like the 2010s normalizing JRPGs giving you options to just turn all the mechanics off hurt the genre honestly

in retrospect, we really should have given Ilhan Omar that gundam

Well we made it to the fin de semana. Yet the semana never really seems to fin these days does it

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

My Orders? New. My Modes? Depeche.

…another petition, this time to get the maker of the Swasticar’s secondary Canadian citizenship revoked because dude thinks we aren’t a real country/our sovereignty is a lie so why does he need our passport 🤔? www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Three cheers for independent bookstores!
