Okay for one full minute there I thought you were talking C.K. and I was VERY confused π
Iβm glad they did. Not all journalists want to do the kind of reporting @rachelgilmore.bsky.social does but we still MUST have her back for taking the huge risks she takes. Weβre all better for it, so having her back is the least we can do.
Seeing pictures of the protest and I'm reminded that you should never cut arts funding 'cause those mfers know how to make good signs.
Make it make sense #nspoli
"Twitter is cooking their brains" theory looking pretty strong
My toddler is sighing and stomping around the apartment, saying, "I need a coffee" over and over again.
It is both cute and offensive.
Before..?
In shocking news TomTom finds that Halifax, a city with no real viable alternatives to driving, has a lot of cars on the road.
Just learned that lyric is "coke fizz" and not "goat piss," but he likes the goldfish line, so we're rolling with it.
My 2.5 year old has become suddenly obsessed with Sloan. We're rocking down the road singing, "And the joke is / when he awoke his / body was covered in goldfish."
Listening to the back catalog of @fivefourpod.bsky.social (currently back in the sunshiney days of 2021) and made a rash decision to skip to their latest episode. I'm no lawyer, but there's gotta be someone you can hold liable for that ennui, friends.
(Still listen to the ep, of course.)
NEWS: Postmedia suspends Toronto Sun parliamentary bureau chief after tweet applauding ICE killing of Minneapolis woman
Postmedia says Bryan Passifiumeβs tweet about ICE killing of Renee Good was βregrettable and insensitiveβ
Hard agree on all counts π
Carney writes: One of the first actions taken by Canada's new government in March 2025 was to impose additional sanctions on NicolΓ‘s Maduro's brutally oppressive and criminal regime β unequivocally condemning his grave breaches of international peace and security, gross and systematic human rights violations, and corruption. Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of Maduro since it stole the 2018 election. The Canadian government therefore welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people. Canada has long supported a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. In keeping with our long-standing commitment to upholding the rule of law, sovereignty, and human rights, Canada calls on all parties to respect international law. We stand by the Venezuelan people's sovereign right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful and democratic society. Canada attaches great importance to resolution of crises through multilateral engagement and is in close contact with international partners about ongoing developments. We are first and foremost ready to assist Canadians through our consular officials and our embassy in BogotΓ‘, Colombia, and will continue to support Venezuelan refugees.
I feel the prime minister of Canada is gaslighting me. Doesnβt even mention the thing that just happened in Venezuela. Heβs just all smiles. Is that normal, for Canadians
My pleasure! I also take any opportunity to reference that cute lil girl in the Old El Paso commercial π

That is achingly adorable. What is it about Ben Folds Five that brings out the wholesome in our collective spirit?
A reminder in case you need it today:
Ben Folds Five
My favourite brand of "come back to Twitter" post is the one that poses it as a moral imperative. Buddy, I'm on social media to make jokes and experience mental illness in public. This isn't about the greater good, it's about the best place to have a manic episode.
Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
