YouTube video by Charlie Angus THE OTHER WORLD SERIES AD - MORE RING OF FIRE BS!!!

There was enormous attention on Doug Ford's World Series Ad.
Much less attention on his CDN ad.
Doug is promising to rip up "red tape" to get at the Ring of Fire ore bodies.
People in the region have gone 30 years without drinking water. He refuses to meet them.

[Scene is a boardroom in the headquarters of the board game manufacturer, Parker Bros. The year is 1966] 1 [show exterior of a factory building with 'PARKER BROS BOARD GAMES' written on the top] PARKER 1: Ok brothers - a quick run through our manufacturing schedule... 2 [Switch to interior scene of the boardroom, in which the three Parker Brothers are having a meeting]. Parker 1: So this year we'll be making: Monopoly, Cluedo, Risk, the portal to Hell thing, Scrabble, and Tiddlywinks. 3 Parker 2: What was that? Parker 1: Tiddlywinks! Parker 2: No the bit about Hell 4 Parker 1: Ah yes - we're manufacturing ouija boards now Parker 2: What 5 Parker 2: Parker… we make *board games*... Parker 1: Yes, Parker!

Parker 1: Well I believe it was... Mr Shimmer? 8 Parker 2: Who is Mr Shimmer [voice from off-scene]: shimmmerrrrr... 9 [Cut to a figure who is also sat at the boardroom table. It is a horrifying eldritch wraith, eyeless, pale, with a gaping, hissing black mouth drawn open in a foul, silent, endless grimace] Mr Shimmer: *sssshimmmerrrrr*... 10 Parker 1: Our new creative director! I met him at a seance, because it's 1966. 11 Parker 1: Mr Shimmer says he hopes there may soon be a set in every home in the land! 12 Parker 1: Come - shall we play? [he shifts his body forward in his chair slightly, and we glimpse behind him the terrifying eyes of another demon sat behind him, a la this iconic bit in Insidious] [ends]

Nobody ever talks about how weird this was

Title: The desk of a late, great author Panel 1: A woman asks "The publisher is on my back again. Have you guys got anything left in there?" Panel 2: A desk, with four drawers and a friendly face on each, replies "Nope" "Sorry." "Nothing." the last one says "I might have something..." Panel 3: The woman reaches into the drawer which says "That's it...Right At the back." Panel 4: The woman holds some paper "It's just a pizza menu." Panel 5: The drawers reply: "Oh well" "We've done our best" "We have secured a great reputation for eternity!" But another voice joins in: Panel 6: "Now, hold on there. I've got a few things that might Interest you..." It is the waste-paper basket, filled with crumpled balls of discarded paper.

Long COVID is underdiagnosed, researchers say, and there’s work to be done to change that St. John’s hosted the 2025 Canadian Symposium on Long COVID earlier this month, a gathering of top researchers, clinicians, and people living with long COVID. As the CBC’s Adam Walsh reports, those on...

Basically my story on CBC, but told by someone else. Long Covid is very, very common, and lots of people have to care for people affected by it. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Come on, @mark-carney.bsky.social
The ad wasn't fake, 2+2≠5, and apologizing to bullies doesn't make the problem go away.
Get your f@¢€|√g elbows up, sir.

No corner coffee shops: Toronto committee waters down neighbourhood retail plan It’s the second time in less than a year councillors balked at allowing certain businesses to open on some residential streets

Neighbourhood retail is awesome. That cities have banned it through zoning idiocy is another one of those stealth subsidies for car companies. #yqrcc

Trump says Carney apologized for Ford's anti-tariff ad | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Mark Carney apologized for the Ontario government ad that used former president Ronald Reagan’s own words to spread an anti-tariff message to an America...

Kind of tired of world leaders fluffing Trump.
I get that you don't want to be singled out, but bullies get away with their shit when no one stands up to them.

A close-up of a red bike jersey featuring a vertical black zip and a logo on the upper left side. The jacket has a smooth texture and subtle stitching details. The zipper is broken.

I have an old bike jersey whose zipper needs repair. The quote for the repair is more than the cost of a new jersey, but I'm going to repair it because I want to live in a world where we repair things.

Happy Halloween!

Trump and Republicans just passed a tax cut that will gift $100B annually to the richest 1%.

$100B could fund SNAP for a year.

It's not a matter of what this country can or can't afford. It's about priorities.

People are starting to understand this.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Image: three figures in protective suits watch from behind a screen as a child approaches a door-like mechanical structure in which stands a man. Between them is an amorphous glowing shape. Caption: Scientists at the institute of halloween studies have succeeded in creating "The treak": a quantum state that is simultaneously trick and treat. It is stable for a millionth of a second before decaying into a half-hearted prank and a mediocre candy bar.

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Poilievre vows to tackle unemployment, cost of housing in address to young Canadians OTTAWA - Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre addressed young Canadians at an event in Toronto tonight, arguing that the Liberals are sacrificing their future.

Poilievre's pitch is more austerity and deregulation that helped create the mess that young people are inheriting. Doubling down on trying to create trickle-down economics to own the libs is a choice.
