I see absolutely no attempt being made to combat misinformation at a scale that would make a difference—rather than pivot, public health is asleep at the wheel. And now they’re “disappointed”

It’s not like they don’t know how they eliminated measles the first time

There's something a bit medieval and also let them eat cake about their willingness to let us get sick in irrationally high numbers

I don't know what it is but it's not public health. Also this neutral shrugging over losing our measles elimination status bsky.app/profile/tbra...

Our minimizing public health officials are “disappointed” that Canada could lose measles-elimination status! If only there was something they could do about it…

The best costume this year would be a giant operational realtime World Series scoreboard

You know what’s scary? The cognitive dissonance experienced listening to the CBC morning show “reporting” on Vancouver ghosts and then the Current’s scientist guests rightfully indignant about scientific misinformation. Any kind of scientific misinformation primes the populace for believing BS, CBC

Pop goes the weasel

Chinatown businesses are closing one by one due to high rents. First Floata, my dim sum place, now our post office.

I must pick up parcels on Commercial Drive now; how do disabled Chinatown seniors do that?

Barely regulated speculation & financialization of real estate, everyone! #vanpoli #bcpoli

One year ago

It looks precarious IRL—it was a bright day when I saw it and it looked more silver than white. It’s madness that they got away with building it

I think 20 would be a skinny spindle too!

Six-sided ivory mesh umbrella with black umbrella designed by Josef Hoffman

His umbrella stand looks sturdy too

That Josef Hoffman trash can comes in black, too. They could have saved themselves a lot of grief if they’d gone for an iteration of the black version

As B.C.’s over-50 population grows, advocates want the shingles vaccine covered | Globalnews.ca Almost 40 per cent of B.C.’s population is over 50 and physicians warn that shingles, which is a debilitating condition itself, can lead to other more serious health concerns.

Retired 80-something senior I chat with over coffee in McD's has caught #shingles, beginning in & around their right eye. Went to VGH emergency 3am Tues - 10hr wait. Taking prescribed meds but it's spread to their left eye! Luckily no pain. Wonder what vaccine costs. I should pay for it!

The cost of the Shingrix shot is yet another BC Health ministry scandal. The shot’s benefits exceed preventing shingles and could ultimately save the province money and citizens both physical and economic pain

Thank you!

Hundreds rally to oppose 133-unit condo proposal in Vancouver’s Chinatown City staff recommends Beedie be given approval to proceed with redesigned project

I'll be speaking at the 2nd night of hearings on #105Keefer (now renamed 570 Columbia, as if anyone is fooled).

Beedie's luxury condos are up before the Dev't Permit Board again. How many times will we have to fight this thing? It's a disaster for Chinatown. Enough! Social housing now. #vanpoli

It could be the new Canada Post logo too

Nice way to celebrate his new book

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

I love everything about this

Let’s also note that even other Oligarch-owned major MSM papers recognized the import of the story.

Seriously, shame on NYT for attempting to diminish the power of the people.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

When everything became such an f-ing chore

We ride at dawn—meet you in the alley with a bucket of paint and wearing a chore coat

Because that’s where they live

This is outrageous
