modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

the only people making the world confusing for teenage boys are adult men who are telling them that the world they inhabit is broken and has turned against them because people’s values have evolved in the ~30 years that they’ve ceased to be teenagers and they no longer feel in control

if you don’t teach little boys that they are part of a family or community, if you teach them weird Christofascist “head of the household” shit, while the girls are taught they have to be in charge of managing all the boys’ emotions, the toxicity of the internet is just the cherry atop a shit sundae

Korean Vegetable Pancakes (Yachaejeon) Soft and tender on the inside, crispy on the outside, these Korean vegetable pancakes are so easy to make! Enjoy as a tasty side dish or snack.

Should you ever want to make your own from scratch, I highly recommend this recipe. I often add gochujang to the batter and fresh ginger to the sauce. www.mjandhungryman.com/korean-veget...

Happy Birthday, Tim. I hope you have an excellent day 🎉🎂🎁🎉

There’s not a large enough market really anywhere for people to focus on dark beers.

There’s this show on Rev called El Camino I think you both would like. It’s a Canadian show, several years old already, but I’m sure you can find it. The host subscribes to this philosophy.

Yeah, it’s fabulous. I woke up thinking about the characters in the middle of the night, and was tempted to finish it but saved it for the morning. You know a book is good when you want to know what happens to the characters after it’s done. I’d love a sequel eventually.

I just finished @emilystjams.bsky.social Woodworking, and what a beautiful story. Realistic, complicated, endearing characters. Really enjoyed this one.

What a beautiful shot. 😀

You asked, I listened

As an act of civic journalism, I contacted the Privy Council Office and the Speaker of the House of Commons to clarify if Pierre Poilievre can still serve as Leader of the Opposition and if he can continue living in his public mansion

The official answers: No and no

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.

Don’t cap the upper floor at 50% or 60% of the lower floor.

You’re killing green space, functional housing and cost/efficiency in one fell swoop in the name of cutesy aesthetics.

Just allow functional small housing. You’re a government not an HOA.

This is the basis for the wild expansion of the Okanagan wine growing region from 2010 onwards.

Gosh I enjoy your writing.

He loves to watch these ducks, and they’re quite interested in him, as long as he approaches politely which he sometimes struggles with.

100%! That’s why every driver should be re-tested every 5 years, at least with signs and reflexes.

I think most people can't comprehend that equalization comes from the federal government, which means there isn't some magical ledger where money is siphoned from one province and handed to another province like they're separate bank accounts. We're taxed as Canadians, not provincial residents.

Today’s #dogventure was a lovely jaunt around Jubilee and Oak Bay

And they were making more of the impaired drivers causing crashes, but personally I think it’s way worse to be sober and cause such destruction while reversing.

I bet! And then through no fault of your own, you have to deal with repairs or replacement.

Behold!! The world’s smallest cow!
