Sometimes type one diabetes comes across as the most unserious disease because what do you mean I'm eating macha cookies to prevent my untimely death? #t1d #typeonediabetes

Wow. If you follow me because you thought I'd be blindly loyal to any politician or party, you followed me for the wrong reasons. My job is to hold power to account and to give a voice to the voiceless. Even when that might be unpopular. I'm a journalist, not a cheerleader!

Look, not gonna lie the relationship between the US and Canada is very dicey at the moment but the LA protestors are true American heroes. That is the power of community in all its glory.

Predator Killer of Killers had great characters in general but I particularly loved Ursa's arc. Her going from finding purpose in revenge to purpose in protecting was done well, and it contrasted wonderfully with the Yautja society's brutal dominance. Highly recommend it #horror #scifi #Predator

The 'Strong Borders' Bill is evident of why we need NDP (or the Revolutionary Party) to recapture the labour vote. When the most viable options are bad or worse, most are going to go with 'bad'

I feel like Hellboy : The Crooked Man is going to be a cult classic in the coming years -- it's certainly an improvement over the 2019 film and Jack Kesy is actually a very good Hellboy. #horror #film #comics

I feel like I'm drinking crazy sauce when I see reactions to the current era of Doctor Who. Like, it's always been stuff like Space Babies that existed alongside your Turn Left's and Heaven Sent's. Like it's always been the ridiculous and camp, followed by profound and curious Maybe its just me?

So I checked out this really neat indie and boy does its aesthetics scream 'influenced by Nier' For the record, this is a very good thing Between this and Kunitsu-Gami...do-...do I like tower defense?!? #burggeist #gaming

I don't know which is funnier. Whether a patron of our library branch tried covering up a scantily clad Conan the Barbarian graphic novel with a romance book or the fact that said romance book is the type of sleazy paperback to have just as, if not more raunchy content inside. Truly a wonder.

I'm not saying it's good but Dream Demon (1988) was FUN. Like, the plot and its wrap-up is opaque, it's not clear on any of the motives but the chemistry and friendship between our two leads Jenny and Diana rules and them exploring a liminal mirror apartment ruled. It just has VIBES #horror #film

Really liked Ash (2025) and thought it had more substance than I had heard going in. Like, the "villain" views humans as dangerous and destructive, and I liked that and how despite it being there for profit, it seemed like their species had their shit sorted out before us #horror #Ash /1

God Told Me To is an incredibly unnerving investigative horror film in the vein of X-Files, Cure and Longlegs. It hasn't aged perfectly but damn is it worth the watch. The atmosphere in this one is strong #horror #film #larrycohen

So the wife and I got two copies of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time only to find out the co-op/multiplayer is kinda ass. On the plus side, as a single-player game it still is pretty great though. #jrpg #level5

So currently I have two thoughts/guesses about the 'Golden Dome' in relation to Canada 1) They gave Trump an unplugged controller in 2P mode more or less 2) It's to keep a fragile balance of distance, while giving Trump empty wins with a neighbour whose threatening to annex us

You see, applying public pressure leads to better governing. Carney can clearly be moved to better decisions via public blowback. You want your guy to succeed? Then you need to be willing to push him to be better instead of making excuses www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

honestly 90s/early 2000s game output was so insane, someone asked if Chrono Cross was the worst drop off a sequel ever had and like, you gotta keep in mind Chrono Cross is still a 90s era Squaresoft RPG

So I'm listening to Revengeseekerz by Jane Remover and like, having Danny Brown be your only feature is a hell of a flex and also sets the tone right away #music

The film adaptation of Clown in a Cornfield while not as memorable as the book (few adaptations are) was still a hell of a lot of fun. In particular, loved Quinn and her dad. Top tier dad in horror movie for sure #horror #slasher #film

In a sea of other banger SK zombie horror fiction, #Alive is oddly life-affirming Like, don't me wrong they're really good at this particular strain of horror film but it's a bit concerning that this particular monster-as-metaphor works so well for them. Anyway, damn good film. #horror

Look, I've been meaning to listen to Kneecap and I kept on putting it off but the Coachella set finally pushed me to check them out and Fine Art is so good Like, really good. Perhaps I'm losing it but I'm Flush gives me major Prodigy vibes and of course I'm gonna love any artist that does that
