Toronto downtown with the CN Tower barely visible in the distance because of the haze. In the foreground are heritage brick buildings, a little farther on is the CityTV building, and just before the CN Tower are glass skyscrapers

who dialed the draw distance way down on Toronto today??

I love the Decision to Leave beach-colour scheme we've got going though...

Finally, some real colors.

me taking the stat holiday in lieu on Friday while everyone else was working: Haha!! Fuck yeah!! Yes!!

me working on Monday while everyone else is enjoying their day off: Well this fucking sucks. what the fuck

Two people in a promotional cardboard cutout of an RV, one holding a poster for Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie and one holding a bottle of Orbitz (a discontinued Canadian soft drink)

Two guys dressed and posing like Jay McCarroll and Matt Johnson from the movie Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie

A man sitting behind the driver's seat of the RV from Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. There's a Back To The Future-style date display on the dash, and a whiteboard above them that says "Butterfly Effect" and a timeline with "2025 - 2008 - 2025" written on it

A woman kneeling on the floor of the RV from Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, playing Goldeneye on an old TV and sitting WAY too close to the screen. There's stuff stacked everywhere - a piano in the back, framed photos, crates of old movies and books, piles of snack food bags.

The taste of Orbitz is such a founding sense memory that I had no idea I’d forgotten!

Happy Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie the Opening Weekend to all who are celebrating.

I can’t believe such a magical film sprung out of my neighborhood. Pictures related.

This is the most depressed bird I’ve ever seen

One of the Funniest Movies in Years Is Also One of the Most Canadian The guys who made BlackBerry are back with another masterpiece of Canadianness.

I wrote about the utterly improbable delights of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie—now in theaters!

As masterful a piece of cinema the second time around. We got cosplayers and a standee!!

A woman playing goldeneye on n64 in an RV. Her face is DANGEROUSLY close to the screen

Now seated for Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, I think we should centralize Canada’s identity around this film.

And we got to hang out in the RV and play Goldeneye beforehand!!

POV from behind a snow bank, watching a small boat going down a lane of water between two ice banks. The clouds are light and fluffy, very watercolour looking

Two people out on the ice are framed by the chains on the front of a boat

A chunk of open water surrounded by ice. In the foreground are three Canadian geese taking flight; ducks and other geese watch from the surface of the water and the ice banks

The three geese are now in the distance against the blue fluffy clouds

Hanging out on the ice with some birds n boats

Two buildings whose planes intersect vertically at 2/3 of the image. Building on the right is grey and concrete; building on the left is bright blue, windowed glass

Black and white image of 4 buildings, the image showing each taking a full quarter of the frame with no sky viewable.

Black and white image of windowed offices, no sky, intersecting horizontally and vertically. A very light Escher kind of feeling as most of the planes’ beginning and end cannot be seen

Black and white ground level photo of several skyscrapers. At the bottom of the frame is an old English style pub, the Duke of Cornwall, as well as footpath lights. Otherwise it is all concrete and glass contemporary buildings

I don't have time to update 'bart' to Holyday but you get the idea

‘Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie’ Review: A Patience-Testing Canadian Mockumentary Matt Johnson's film concerns a pair of Toronto-based musicians who go to elaborate lengths to score a gig.

if this was a real website, we’d all be talking about the Nirvanna review in THR that’s racist against Canadians

The Norman Rockwell painting of the guy standing up in a crowd, but this time, HOLY SHIT, the guy has a Gumby head! That's wild, man.

Stop motion animation is better when it's not super smooth.

thank goodness it's finally Meat Day

a round pottery piece with pig eyes and a snout

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

this is a good move as 'Kermit the Vague Lizard-like Creature' isn't nearly as catchy

Against clouds parting in the background a hawk chases a pigeon. Due to flying directly in front of the clouded sun they’re in silhouette

In hot pursuit 🦅🪶

a red-tailed hawk is reaching out its talons to attempt to grab a pigeon who has flown above it and is seemingly escaping. they are against a cloudy grey background and next to a condo building

I think I can officially claim to live in this red-tailed hawk's new hunting zone as I've gone from no hawks in the area to minimum weekly sightings.

Watched them terrorize the local pigeon population today. I wish I had a zoomier lens!!

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.
