To understand the complex feelings of Iranians that I'm seeing all over social media, I imagine how I'd feel if Israel fighter jets bombed DC and killed Trump and half his family. Complex. Feelings.

Worth noting that on a different website, multiple ABC Vancouver officials follow accounts that post constantly about how Sean Orr is a terrible human being and make all sorts of unproven claims, including one account that creates AI videos of Orr doing all sorts of illegal or evil acts

Fun fact: Jack Hughes is the name of the lead singer of Wang Chung, who chose that name as a play on: J'accuse. I felt it was very important that everyone know that.

Ok but in fairness, what I's has that BA succeeded in championing? I've lived and worked in that neighbourhood off and on since 1994 and it's only got worse (except for a blip between 2015 and 2019).

Not posted much lately - couple deaths in the family recently (you don’t need to do condolences). So spent a lot of time working and the rest at the seaside watching marine life.

I remember this. We went to Washington to ask for help and Jessie Jackson was the only one to respond. Rest in Peace.

That time Jesse Jackson, at the height of his political importance, visited Kahnawake to give his support to the Mohawk warriors there, during the Oka Crisis.

Really informative - explained why Vancouver's MOBI bike share service is so terrible compared to Montreal's BIXI. In Montreal, I didn't own a bike, I had a BIXI subscription. In Vancouver, the opposite, because MOBI was so unreliable, expensive, and bad.

When I see how onerous this stuff is - I'm reminded of what it was like to register to vote in the Quebec provincial election after the 'printemps Γ©rable' protests. Register as normal, then hearing thing before some panel - all in French only - with probing questions, and then home visit to verify.

As the only (I think?) local reporter in Tumbler Ridge, Trent Ernst has been heroically covering the tragedy unfolding in his town. Most of his reporting is happening on Facebook, which you can find here, along with links to his Patreon. www.facebook.com/tumblerridge...

100%. But also, no one shoots 37 people with a bolt action rifle.

37 people hit - that would have had to have been 100 rounds fired, minimum...

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Bad Bunny's Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show
YouTube video by NFL Bad Bunny's Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show

Watching Bad Bunny's halftime show it reminds me of the America I LOVE and desperately miss. The reggaeton and hip hop and even slack jawed yokel America that was cool, and just let it all happen in one place. It shows how aberrant MAGA is that this is what they hate www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Fu...

The Seahawks are the masters of cultural *appreciation* instead of appropriation, parody, or stereotyping. Universally beloved in Indian country over this entire region.

Road rage jerk I saw yesterday in Burnaby. I wish there was a tip line to get people like that fined.

An update on The Narwhal’s court case against the RCMP

For people in Canada outraged about Don Lemon (as we should be), reminder that a journalist in Canada is literally fighting in court right now after being arrested by RCMP as a media observer at a protest.

Police arrest journalists here too, but especially at protests focusing on indigenous rights.

Yes. But as part of the horrifying reality of the block universe and being trapped in slices of planck time with no progression or freedom.
