Women’s para hockey semi-finals Canada vs Norway: youtu.be/3xZG9SNRLRE (Thanks @dfpendrys.bsky.social for the heads up)
Hopefully soon 🤞
If @cviibyz.bsky.social doesn't want the Linden, Mogilny, or Malhotra ones, may I have those pls? 🙏
Some day...
Considering how obsessed the rich freaks are with AI, they’ll probably turn him into a chat bot.
Worth remembering that any time I say "It's happening!' I'm talking about George RR Martin finally releasing Winds of Winter
This Reddit post probably helped fuel things too: www.reddit.com/r/MarkMyWord...
Someone told me he hasn’t been seen for a couple days. I wasn’t online when the rumour started, so I’m not sure how it started or who started it.
I feel like I missed some news and it’s probably related to certain words I’ve muted...
It's a preview of the Canucks season next. youtu.be/0FsF_y_-KZU
Weird that you can create a computer program that helps people kill themselves and commit murder and steals everything and destroys the environment and is also bad at most of what people want it to do and somehow you don’t get thrown into a volcano.
Hahahaha this is the type of goofiness I want for a team I’m actually invested in.
This is my cousin. Please spread as you can. #MissingPerson www.nelsonstar.com/local-news/n...
:( I hope you can find some good alternatives! I really like Field Roast, but I don’t think they’re a Canadian brand.
Full disclosure: I absolutely love Susie. But we do not agree on the shoes thing and never will.
No, Susie. My house, my rules. Take your fucking shoes off. If your outfit looks stupid without the shoes then you should have worn a different outfit. Thank god people automatically take their shoes off around here – otherwise I'd need to stipulate in my invites, sheesh. youtu.be/SSvvKywM-a8
Need to set up a proper shoe rack with spare slippers. No one is coming into my house WITH THEIR OUTDOOR SHOES ON YOU DISGUSTING SAVAGES.
Can we also look at the stats on how many VFX companies folded right after working on a big movie?
She dropped them all as singles and everyone freaked out lol so she asked for fan feedback on a playlist then finally dropped it as a full album.
Not paying VFX artists what they’re worth while embracing AI is what’s putting the industry at risk, you fucking asshat.
Yes! She just released all her newest 17 tracks as a full album with a new track, Parachute. And the physical album will be released in November with 2 mystery tracks.
Hayley released another track and there are still TWO MORE TRACKS COMING??
I don't care if sports joy happened to you. It should be happening to MEEEEE
What a completely random and unprofessional way to announce a discontinuation. Every veggie dog I ever had in my 20s was Yves – they were *the* veggie brand. Plant-based food has come a long way in the past decade, but why drop Yves? Hey Celestial Seasonings, your teas aren’t even that good!
I think I need to keep texts on DND until noon from now on. Too many negative texts this morning and they all came in before 8:30am. WTF people. Is that how you’d like your day to start too? What if I did the same thing to you? Yeesh.
Idk figure out a way to move overseas if you hate it so much here?
I get having post-vacation blues, but bombarding me with negative messages constantly doesn’t make me sympathetic.
Anyone want Wilco tix for tonight @ the PNE? Have two extra. (Already gave away the gate admission tix tho.)
#AbbyCanucks’ tickets for their season opener starting at $35 each. This is their Calder Cup Championship banner raising night.
These episodes all default to English and the dub is unwatchable. They mispronounce everything.
On the one hand, having Choji around all the time would mean there’s always snacks. On the other hand, his chip munching isn’t exactly stealthy. (Rewatching Naruto.)
Uh-huh. And you don't even wanna know how much money the health care system lost this quarter. Or the RCMP. Or public libraries. Or every road and highway department. Public services shouldn't have to make money, because this isn't fucking Monopoly.
Congratulations to Burnaby City Council for unanimously passing a motion calling for a two-way arms embargo on Israel. Leaders at all levels of govt have a responsibility to do everything they can to oppose war crimes and genocide. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
'How dare you politicize this when I am a politician and this whole scandal is about politics!' What a fucking moron
you're a politician making public policy decisions in private which is contrary to city procedure it is political you clown
💕 💕 💕 Thank you~…!!! 🥺
Me: Yes, let’s take an afternoon iced coffee break before I get back to work Later me: Oops, over-caffeinated

I remember a video about reporting idling vehicles in NYC. The payout is minimal and it takes forever to get the money but at least there are bylaws.
Are there anti-idling bylaws in Vancouver? Cuz this big ass pick up truck has been idling next to the cafe for a long time…
Its Integrity Commissioner has found that Mayor Ken Sim and (what were then) his seven ABC Vancouver Party councillors repeatedly breached the Vancouver Charter’s most basic requirement: that the people’s business must be done in the open. #VanPoli www.biv.com/news/comment...
We underestimate how fast camels can go.
Are we talking about a certain musician and athlete couple?
Thanks!!!! 🙏 Appreciate the vote of confidence!!
I have anxiety just asking friends to look over this logo. How the fuck am I gonna handle a full fledged launch in October? Ugh @ self criticism, imposter syndrome, etc.
Cute Without the E – Cut from the Team acoustic version is objectively not good. Something I forgot until hearing it again for the first time in years.
Oh yaaaayyy!! Let me know when it opens!
The sheer amount of time, money, and resources this government has spent to torture one random guy is astounding.
It still bugs me that the writers made Amy Santiago, of all people, say that you can’t be good or bad at jigsaw puzzles – how there is no strategy, reasoning, or logic. The person who loves everything nerdy and goes to puzzle camp shitting on jigsaw puzzles? There is absolutely strategy involved.
Oh great. Just learned women with ADHD have an average nine year shorter life span than neurotypicals. (Not shocked this constant fight or flight heightened level of anxiety would take its toll on the body.) www.cbc.ca/news/health/...
A walk down memory lane... youtu.be/bONzyXHKHO8
Wow. Cannot believe how that Whitecaps game ended.
They really cut a lot of the quiz and Naeun’s screen time for FART TALK.
Youngbae spilling the tea: GD’s on stage shyness is faked hahahaha
Honestly that memory room is sad. 'Let’s just erase the fact that BB used to be five members' 😢
The memory room where they only included photos of the three of them whaaaaaattttt 😭
Booooooo @ the AI product plug. Otherwise, adorable! CL: “I have to draw my eyes on first.” I feel you. youtu.be/MuWu6jD6l94
I completely forgot The Swan was a thing, but heard it discussed on a podcast this week, and saw it mentioned in a post floating around today. There was some fucked up shit on tv in the 00s.
Realized that newish movies arriving on streaming platforms offer zero excitement to me. Oh I missed the theatrical release and now I can just watch it whenever? No longer interested. Add an old movie I love though – yes, I’ll watch that right away.
Oh nooooo! Rest up and hope you’re better soon!
There is always this weird feeling associated with listening to the original of a rearranged/covered song. Did I expect Gaining Through Losing by Ken Hirai to be so jazzy? Nope. I’ve been listening to F4’s 流星雨 (Meteor Rain) since 2001, which is very much a boy group ballad.
Hide Hyodo Shimizu fought for Japanese-Canadians to gain the vote in Canada. When Japanese-Canadians were forced into internment camps, she set up a school system. Then, she campaigned for compensation for Japanese-Canadians who lost everything. This is her story. 🧵 1/12
They are! I like the crumbly top of the pineapple buns at Zhao Mah more than the ones at Galaxy, but the ratio of filling to bun is generous at both.
The selection of Chinese music is all over the map on Tidal. Some artists are under both their English and Chinese names, and those who are listed twice *still* don’t have even 1/4 of their discography on there. I wanna listen to some 90s Cantopop! Ugh. (Reminder to find a proper CD player.)
Found out Galaxy Bakery 奔月大餅店 on Victoria off E 41st (behind the bus stop) also makes custard filled pineapple buns and coconut filled pineapple buns (think cocktail bun meets pineapple bun). I thought only Zhao Mah 金峰餅店 in Chinatown still made these!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.
Same lol
Omg the Amy’s Baking Company ep of Kitchen Nightmares is on Flavour Network.
Have a friend who is still talking about stranger attacks every time it comes up in the news. Fuck the VPD for feeding this public anxiety.
there are so many layers of police fuckery in the story you must read it. take your time. its important. #vancouver read
oh my god in whom i don't believe THIS IS HUGE WOW
If you saw some obvious AI slop on FB this week presenting a tear-jerking story about Canucks prospect Kirill Kudryavtsev having super rare blood that he's donated dozens of times to help kids with cancer, well... Let's talk about the mess that is social media: theprovince.com/sports/hocke....
I want to be fair to this coordinator that they did in fact bcc everyone this year, and did not leave outreach until *after* the start of the semester. They are learning!
Got an email that said ‘see attachment’ without an attachment, then the follow-up email said ‘some people didn’t receive the attachment’. I doubt they sent batch emails since they didn’t even know how to bcc everyone last year. Just admit you forgot the attachment, man.
when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe
People are saying it is not TOP. Noooooooo 😭

FIL sent vids of his workout at the gym today on his 80th bday. We told him he’s “getting swole – as the kids say”. (We did need to explain this terminology, yes.)
*Technically Canadian Press
The quote at the end of this CTV article about the Air Canada strike is chef’s kiss/fire/mic drop:
I only learned of the Swedish church moving two hours ago, but I am invested.
Fans of "slow television" are in for a treat, as Swedish TV is live-streaming the effort to move an entire church in Kiruna from one place to another over the course of two days: www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9... Enjoy!
This story is so good: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/n... A reminder to keep working on our craft and toward our goals, to also be curious, and lastly, to take chances and put ourselves out there.
Air Canada's CEO admitting to the media that their entire plan for the flight attendants' strike was "have the government say they're not allowed" and that they have no other ideas about how to deal with the strike is really a "yeah this is how Canada REALLY works" moment if ever there was one

My 'started bingeing and paused due to too much secondhand embarrassment’ watch list keeps growing.
I forgot about this for a while but the Bryce Elder "Sam Altman's kitchen" piece may be one of my favourite things I've read in business or tech history. www.ft.com/content/b180...
Love that someone’s job was to make signs for single bananas and study which one was the most successful (of course it was the sad one!): www.firstpost.com/explainers/t...
I laugh so hard at that line every time I see that episode.
This festival is funded by gentrifiers and promotes gentrifier businesses. Real revitalization should include the many cultural groups and organizations who’ve been part of this community for decades if not over a century. Where are the legacy businesses? Are they being heavily featured?
Clarification: I am of course not discouraging visiting Chinatown, but I’d like everyone to be aware of which events are really helping to revitalize Chinatown and which are gentrification wrapped up with Chinese ornamentations to cater to people who won’t visit Chinatown any other day of the year.

The Light Up Chinatown festival has always rubbed me the wrong way, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. After the 2023 rehashing of 105 Keefer, it was clear where Chinatown Foundation’s loyalties actually lie. This year they're pretty open about their sponsorship ties with gentrifiers. Avoid.
Man, that’s goalie contact and a penalty against Sweden but yesterday that US player made contact with Betts during the shootout and they allowed that goal. Pssssshhhhhhhh
I didn’t know he did the audiobook! I loved that book as a kid. And I love Chris O’Dowd. Maybe I need to give it a listen.
Booooooooo Sweden better win the gold medal game tomorrow against US.
