i’m here to fuck spiders
I am ready for it to stop being this unpleasant blend of smokey and muggy anytime now. #BCwx
what if he just says the Shahada and refuses to elaborate
jesus christ they managed to fuck this up even more since April. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... $80 fee per parcel for <15% source country, $160 for 16-25%, and $200 for >25% rates. that's going to functionally kill anyone shipping anything of commercial value.
The simplest way to do this would be to add a stop in Port Coquitlam at the West Coast Express platform, and then build the proposed Millennium Line branch from Coq Central to Port Coquitlam Rail capacity over the Fraser River is severely constrained to single tracks at Mission and New West
Canadians yearn for affordable family bunks on the train
The press would have fucking *loved* McCain/Lieberman.
We need proof he still has hair
MeFi is going to sue you for this
Bluesky: the niche website for literate people
going to the outlet mall because i’m stuck here now i guess
genuinely, why did they put an outlet mall on sea island next to the airport long-term parking. who thought this was a good idea
self-medication with caffeine is absolutely a thing.
I am not beating the allegations here lmao
I was working on temporary hospitals in Manhattan and the Bronx I helped ove bodies and people who were there with me say “it was just old or fat people they should have opened the schools”. Friend you are right and sadly people are wrong
Payroll tax for transit operations when
There’s a whole genre of “critically important crosstown bus route that just needs a few interventions to be truly great” in cities across the US. SFMTA 28R 19th Avenue Rapid, my dread
I will never, ever forget the creeping dread in Silicon Valley as everyone realized we’d be one of the first regions affected.
British Columbia is making generic estrogen free for AFAB people undergoing menopause, even. (But not trans women, interestingly.)
The "expensive drugs" thing shows up in US politics as well and it's fucking hilarious. HRT meds are almost all cheap and trans people are a fraction of the market for them. Two of my other drugs (metformin and bumetanide) are on the Essential Medicines List and estradiol is comparably cheap.
Ugh, hang in there
idk, maybe too short
My brother is psyched he gets to use a robot as a college football assistant coach
People are still doing this not as a bit??

i am open to unleashing an army of feral cats
I do miss how Trudeau would go off in French when he got overly frustrated
Here’s a positive story about a totem pole being repatriated from the UBC Museum of Anthropology
sitting at the lagrangian point between 3 different and distinct kinds of stupid means we end up with an extremely narrow political spectrum that also manages to be quite adverse to specific brain rot
We do badly need more housing for military personnel and their families.
LGBT studies, MILF, polyamory I receive this blessing
i just don't think it's at all mysterious why the website that's massively dominated by the exact kind of people that Trump 2.0 is actively persecuting might have more depressing vibes in 2025 than it did in 2024
I switched back from open-loop to a stored value card in part because of settlement times.
I laughed at this so hard it jump-scared my spouse
chronic neck insufficiency
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Oh man he looks like shit #uspoli
going out on my porch to watch the lightning. very freudian death drive coded. sad
ellie that’s not true, i saw one yesterday
My God! Appalling game management.
It’s a loss of down penalty anyway!!
If you’re Notre Dame, why in the hell do you run tempo instead of spiking the ball on first down?
I am literally begging people to learn about the existence of time zones that are not Eastern North America.
that’s a Pacific Time timestamp
Hey Siri, play “Deathbed” by Relient K
this is also the premise of US national security policy
there are like five separate questions being invoked in AI discourse: 1) is AI art the product of learning or copying 2) what does the law say about that 3) does/will it unfairly impact traditional artists 4) what even counts as AI 5) what will culture/society decide about it (right or wrong)
Also, and this is really important: *I think the building that my wife and our kids live in is very ugly.* AND YET We are happy to have a place to live in Berkeley, which we then get to decorate the inside of however we want!
i am always saying this
lifelong sufferer here. antidepressants help but haven’t totally fixed things. it does get better.
Happy Shuttle Sunday.

We need to enable more regional and intercity travel patterns across the province if we want VKT management to translate into practical and affordable car-free lifestyles
20% less than required under the municipal bylaw, which is a somewhat complicated formula. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3000 I guess?
I would keep my car if I lived in Brentwood too, which is sort of the whole problem with Metro Vancouver’s densification efforts

Parking Pit is the name of my Passion Pit cover band
Feeling grumpy about WebSerial as rerun of the 1990s browser wars.
One reason why we need both better road design AND more rigorous enforcement of traffic laws is that a significant minority of drivers treat their windshield like second screen viewing.
A pastrami bao at Grand Central? America is already great.

Remarkably better air conditioning on the Mark IIIs. Do the Mark IIs need a coolant recharge or something?
Caught a rare Mark III on the Millennium Line this morning
Lots of industrial manufacturing in Quebec closer to the material inputs
Duh, of course, thanks
… the bicentennial of what? Are you thinking of Canada 150?
Watched the NFL Films documentary about the ‘02 Bucs this morning
On BC Hydro’s main power grid, the carbon footprint would be statistically indistinguishable from zero
Yeah, I don’t see the whole industry getting nearly as serious without those disclosures
[extremely You Can Do It guy voice] you can do it
completely different type of bagel
You ever think about how the Bucs and Devil Rays both played at the Tokyo Dome less than a year apart in August 2003 and March 2004?
Yikes!
There was an assumption by some here that E Oakland didn’t want bike infrastructure. But when the city entered into a public process on streets like Havenscourt they found that residents were skeptical that just paint would be enough, & were also asking for roundabouts & traffic calming.
you cooked here
Being a techno-optimist in the age of Thiele and Musk and Zuck has to give me a pretty good idea what it was like for devout Christians in the 2000s where Fred Phelps became what secular people thought of as their representative
Part of me doesn’t want to get my hopes up about the Walter Reed RUMINT after Friday night. The other part of me is excited that it still might happen this weekend.
I’m signing an executive order later today that the cats have to acknowledge when they’ve actually been fed.
Not looking forward to this, but appreciative of Daniel’s analysis as always. #BCwx
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
I first read your graphic as +35°C and was very concerned

The cross-party effort to drive a stake in Johnson's heart is really something.
a likely story
scully: mulder you can't seriously believe in this mulder: I'm telling you, glonzo is more than just stories.
fucking hell
looks closer to a jungle gym
I want to highlight that this is a centre-right journalist writing in the most mainstream newspaper in Canada asking: “Donald Trump is on the brink of becoming a dictator. Can he be stopped?”
Weirdly my biggest regret pre-transition is getting quoted by David Pogue in one of these as [deadname].
Maxing out my (teensy patio-sized) grill today
thank u for your service
well that’s a new variant
💔💔💔
They’re good barbecues, too. Quite happy with my two-burner patio model.
Similar impression in DC. In MoCo, most non-dock parking of e-bikes is in low-income areas. Part of it is that they're taking relatively long trips. It certainly validates the transit advocates' contention that low-income riders care more about service quality than free fares.
