In a single day at Les Halles, in New York City, Anthony Bourdain once nourished himself with three double espressos, two beers, three cranberry juices, eight aspirins, a hunk of merguez sausage, and an “Industrial”—a beer stein filled with a Margarita.
What a kind chicken. They've been proven to have empathy.
Every day legacy media shows its irrelevance and impotence.
By West he means White.
Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.
It's time to admit, the MSM has been captured by fascist regime.
Mark Carney celebrates Labour Day by ordering labourers back to work
Speed is always a factor in crashes.
At least the slogan purports to help Americans. In Canada the insanity is now treasonous.
He'll shine even brighter with a looser format.
It had me with killer crab.
It goes for politicians around the world. trump will be gone but their bowing to him will be remembered.
💯. Great actor.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Exactly. Canadians seem to believe oil propaganda that EVs suffer in the cold
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
This Business in Vancouver news reminds us: #EV policy needs a long-term lens, not short-term politics. 200,000 EVs on B.C. roads show sustained investment drives cleaner air, lower costs for drivers and a stronger auto sector. Read the article ⬇️
Casual observer here. I figured firstly, he's demented and secondly, he's a grifter.
Tinkle? That's awesome!
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Canada’s conspicuous silence as the US sanctions ICC judge Kimberly Prost marks a sharp decline from the days it challenged apartheid in South Africa. Where Canada once championed the court’s independence, it now defers to Washington.
"once I saw how angry people got and that it might hurt my income i realized acting like a greedy asshole can have a downside".
Plus, trump was never shot. If you believe he was you likely have worn a maxipad on your ear.
Looks like an assassination attempt. Now with US regime complicity, Putin is more dangerous than ever.

Put a couple pounds of it on a Chicago style pizza - no one would know.
California stepping up.
Knowledge about cycling varies with planners but most are open to input. It's become a plank in platforms for right wing (bought) municipal govt's - kill all the cyclists.
Your post was about behavior on twitter. If you use Twitter you support fascism. You say you stand against it but your actions prove otherwise.
RFK Jr., driving away with Rudy Guliani tied to the roof of his car
Mainstream media is not on our side.
The only explanation I can think of is the attacker is a cop. Thus, the protection.
Courts? The effing police should charge him and release his name. Axe attack merits police protection? Meantime, his victims are doxxed and blamed.
They say you can never be too rich or too thin. Not true. Eat the rich and don't worry about the calories.
I believe victims as a rule but I don't believe anything this person says.
Carney’s first 100 days: Unpacking the new prime minister’s ‘disappointing move to the right’ with Linda McQuaig: ricochet.media/politics/car...
Solution: stop supporting fascism and stay on Bluesky. Tell your friends.
100% of MSM do this.
Too Latin for trump's America.
So, would calling this greedy asshole a fucking cunt qualify for further analysis?
Priorities man.
You think she reads books?
Horrible. Police are peak car culture, enabling those who can't be bothered to drive safely.
BC has always been split but the numbers will change if the NDP gets its shit together.
You'll know there's a lot of shit in the water if RFK Jr takes a swim.
It's always passive tense, starting with police statement about what should be described as assault with a vehicle.
The headline's word choice needs work. It's not rogue vehicles that are killing and disabling people, it's the vehicle's driver. We need better safety for cyclists and we need to also shift the narrative. We can start by shifting language. @timescolonist.bsky.social can start to do better.
He Found a Clam, A CLAM! 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky
I'm with Sarah on this. Even if not though the description was funny.
Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...
Unfortunately the environment can't donate large sums of cash to politicians, then hire expensive lobbyists to remind all their captured elected officials who they're beholden to.
So..the most effective chaos agent in the trump regime?
Thank god that not all hackers are part of Elon's army.
New: After a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a Florida couple in 2019, killing a 22-year-old woman, crucial data detailing how the wreck unfolded was missing, unable to be located for years. A hacker found it and Tesla said in court it had been on its own servers all along. wapo.st/46dCoQI
Highly recommended. 👇
Canada has very high gun ownership. They're hunting rifles mainly. Completely different from the only country where military assault rifles, machine guns and handguns have rights school children can only dream about.
There's no limit. Like AI, Zuckerberg has no conscience because he's a machine.
If the government under the BCDNP can use $624,000,000 of public funds for the FIFA World cup, and $575,523,000 of public funds for private schools, they have money to build public schools. In 2000, the BCNDP government spent 2.7% of GDP on public education; in 2024 they spent 1.6%.
Enjoying taxpayers largesse will include politicians and their bankrollers, celebs and especially police, who will rake in millions in overtime.
Thanks for this 🙏. I've been reading you for over a decade now but your description of Chicago style pizza is among your brightest gems.
I believe one of maga's commandments is thou shall not question authority.
The incredible lengths people go to to justify AI. Imagine a restaurant adds bacon to your ice cream and the owner going "but we got so many other orders right!".
Nothing to do with Taylor Swift. The NFL has been favouring the Kansas city Chiefs for years. Favoritism that makes the NFL suspect.
Sorry, vulnerable children, we’ve got 7 soccer games in Vancouver to pay for!
Shame is the best word. I'm ashamed and also feel guilty for voting for him. He lied convincingly but I won't be duped again.
So should Evan Solomon.
I doubt Danielle Smith has ever read a novel.
ConCarney. Love it 🤩

At the rate Carney is caving, the US won't need to invade - our gov't will just give it to him.
Yep. Alberta is maga North.
This level of ignorance deserves a block.
Carney is attempting to deal with a man who may one day rank with history’s most reviled despotic dipshits, the perverse lunatic who put the “err” in “erratic.” via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...
I'm ashamed of my government.
⬇️This is the very political police force Victoria BC's new police chief comes from. Media and citizens should be aware that this kind of crass political manipulation could be coming our way. Hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #yyj
Fossil fuels have never been about jobs. Renewable energy creates 4-7 times as many jobs. We're sinking public money into oil because politicians have been captured by the industry.
Rage farming is inexpensive and productive.
Then, with caribou endangered, BC's NDP gov't shoots wolves from helicopters to "protect" animals that don't have habitat.
Southern mountain caribou are critically endangered, but the B.C. gov is approving logging in their habitat. These herds can still recover, but only if their forests are protected. Speak up today 👇 #BCPoli #Conservation
I don't watch movies for their technology. Thus, Cameron's films are boring. Each to their own but how weaselly do you have to be when you're filthy rich yet complain about costs?
I blocked Cuban too. We get enough bs from self-serving billionaires without this phony.
Clearly someone has too much time on his hands. And money to waste.
It's optics. He might be a terrible person but a good politician. He'd turned deep red Maga if it got him reelected.
I thought handmaid's tale would be acceptable to the maga world if it's presented not as a cautionary tale but as a blueprint for success.
Edmonton is the most progressive region in Alberta. Worse is coming.
Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The mainstream media won't tell you that Trump is building a police state because their owners think there's money to be made after Trump builds his police state.
Canadian news media is as bad as American because it IS American. CBC is happy to join the corporate ghouls.
Pretty fucking sad when the German Ambassador calls out Poilievre while Canadian media gives him a pass by broadcasting his stupid pressers full of lies.
What an ass.
It's like Americans saying they're trying to save democracy. Dude, it's gone. Fight to get it back.
Sometimes it's better to have one than two. If you had two dogs chasing you you wish it was only one.
Calling all worker allies to support @unifor.org Local 200. This should be a national issue: keep this plant open! An iconic Canadian whisky bottling plant is moving bottling to the US? Now? No way. Defend Amherstburg, workers and families. We shall not be moved! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Have they tried turning it off, then on again?
The most stunning stat of modern times for me is that a majority of whites - men and women - voted for trump all three elections. It sums things up and is horrifying.
Anyone else thinking these sentient creatures have figured us out?
Problem is, Carney gives every indication he's working for the 1%. That involves burning the planet for money. Social equity isn't on his radar.
Maybe fewer Canadians making the trip to Bellis Fair these days.
Rumor and speculation will fill that gap. Police hold back information because they can, not to protect privacy.
