The way a lot of the weirdness of season 2 of Severance is landing with a thud for me again just shows how singular somebody like David Lynch was. Made surrealism feel natural, never forced. In less capable hands it just feels like it's trying too hard. Look how weird we are!

Four episodes into Severance season 2 and really not feeling it. Loved season one but now wondering if this is a bad show?

Trump’s Gaza video might be the most overtly grotesque and evil thing a head of state has ever personally done in public in the history of humankind. Literally celebrating dancing on the graves of scores of thousands of dead. It redefines how nations speak about other human beings. Shame, America.

I worked on an upcoming Netflix show last year that was set in Yosemite National Park. It was portrayed as well staffed and resourced. By the time it comes out it'll be a relic.

Hell yeah. Seeing the excellent Mannequin Pussy at the Commodore in July.

Lol the cheque was invalid due to lack of a signature. Christ.

🙄 Get absolutely fucked. How about instead Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK start their own group where their intelligence won't be immediately CC'd to Russia.

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

#nowplaying my personal favourite Canadian album 🇨🇦

Photo I took last night while walking over the railway bridge by Steel & Oak.

#nowplaying The best debut album of all time. In the super limited cigarette smoke pressing.

JK Rowling naming an Italian character:

@ben-coli.bsky.social @gyeincognito.bsky.social hey so that new Dageraad stout sure rules.

Happy Hot Fuzz day to all who celebrate

If you were wondering if Trump is a Russian asset you could look to this Krasnov story floating around today or you could look at his every action for the last decade

Seems pretty fucking bad huh

Well I'll be damned, just received one of the two cheques this production owes me in the mail.

Oh wow, did we all just feel that #earthquake? Magnitude 5.1 according to USGS, centred in the Sunshine Coast area. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

#Earthquake felt across southwest British Columbia. Looks like ~M5 Sunshine Coast north west of #Vancouver. Stay tuned...

That gave me a real fright. Fuck. I used to deal with earthquakes all the time in NZ but it's been a while.

Holy shit, decent earthquake in Vancouver

The New West Tennis Club, in Tipperary Park just up the hill from me, suffered terrible fire damage last night.

A story that might not get much coverage outside of the south Pacific but feels kind of important given what's happening with global powers right now. China deliberately doing live fire exercises in between Australia and New Zealand. Flights had to be diverted.

So did Canada win ownership of America or what?

Hahaha fuck yes Team Canada

Got a ticket to the High Vis show in April. Great band. Can't wait.

Raw, unfiltered Russian propaganda from this piece of shit. Truly insane how much they don't care about being so nakedly on the side of Russian aggression. It's fucking scary.

I mean, yeah. America is actively discussing destroying our economy and then taking us over to steal our resources. How is that not an enemy? These numbers should be higher, if anything.

The targeted ads I get on Reddit have often included baldness cures (I have all my hair) but now I'm getting ads for shoe lifts to appear taller (I'm 6 ft)

I've been writing something that was meant to have a world of fascist undertones but fuck I guess reality is gonna make me pump that shit up to being a bit more overt.

I actually expected Trump to attempt to be a little more subtle in his complete support of Russia. Instead he's out there blatantly and proudly spouting their propaganda. What a sickening betrayal of Ukraine. It's all so awful.

Made from scratch. Spinach ricotta gnocchi with a San Marzano tomato, garlic, red wine sauce. Parmigiano reggiano on top and in the gnocchi. Hell yeah.

It's insane and terrifying that it genuinely doesn't seem like an impossibility that real democratic elections are done in the United States. Given everything that motherfucker has done, I entirely expect him to attack election infrastructure.

Given how pervasive Russian propaganda has become you will inevitably encounter people parroting it. Here's how you answer that one about there being no elections there: It is illegal in Ukraine to hold elections during wartime. And why are they in wartime? BECAUSE RUSSIA FUCKING INVADED THEM.
