We turfed our Disney+ sub during the Kimmel thing and it expires next week so we’re watching Andor. Holy fuck is it like watching courderoy. It’s so bad.

Look. We get it. You’re PM $$ CFO guy. But is there any godsdamned chance you could also put some effort into communicating with those of us who grudgingly got you hired, and yunno, talk about social issues we care about or acknowledge people’s concerns? You and your comms team suck so much on this

Yup! Legit worst time. I had a cold by the time I arrived in Europe, everytime. And so many obnoxious drunks before online shaming.

Awwwwww I didn’t know they were closing! This place IS truly amazing. My friend was the GM there and I hung with Sebadoh there too. A real rock n’ roll motel for sure. That’s such a bummer, but glad we were able to have the experience there, Wayne! Love to you 🀘🏼

I’m finding it virtually impossible to do more than an hour of work without crawling back into bed in this dark and wet November. Anyone else? Like, I legit am fighting off the AhFuckits so hard

And to pretend it’s just economics keeping us away? How come body talks about that? It’s border BS, safety, racism, attacks on women, children, LGBTQ+,nationalism, politics, policing, budget cuts…the tariffs are actually the least of my worries. The U.S. is for now a garbage place - why would I go?

I - a Gen X goth - went to the East Van Opry last night. Huge talent on stage but these guys were the best because I imagined them actually as Emmett Otter’s Jug Band from The Muppets and that tickled me even more

Carney is shitting all over everyone who took a chance on him - we knew he was a banker but I didn’t think he was this much of a WANKER WHO LIKES TANKERS. I’m very excited for @avilewis.ca revival of the NDP if we can get him to lead the party.

Hanging out with the future leader of the NDP. Hear me out, Canada: Avi Lewis is actually planning to make some noise for the actual good of actual Canadians. It’s time to return to the party we know it can be, not the one it has been. There is change afoot.

@cityofvancouver.bsky.social what *is* the City’s tangible, practical, on-the-ground safety plan for tsunami warnings or impacts? Like, do we have signs, sirens, Parks Board patrolling beaches to keep ppl safe etc? Not talking about gov warnings. You’re not winging it, right? RIGHT?

Our Zone isn’t on the list thank gods but we’re close and one and a half blocks away from the water but uphill. All zones except ours have been called tho (we’re green)

IF you’re on the very West Coast of BC, in Hawaii and probably the US coast, THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE (8.7!!!) in the Bering Sea in Russia and we are all on Tsunami Advisories. My zone is close (tho tucked in in Vancouver) but not listed - but I live a block and a half from the water so EEP
