Funny this movie keeps coming up in conversation this week but somehow I’ve never seen it. Maybe this year is the year!

Screenshot of Strands clue which reads It’s lit!

Clue in today’s NYT Strands word game is It’s lit. Looking for the answer “Pro-Rep” but it’s not there. Weird. #bcpoli #RIPJohnHorgan

first band i was in made this record in 1994. we put the best looking guy we knew on the cover. pic taken in the Price Chopper parking lot, with the old Union Theatre lurking just out of view below.

huge thanks to @milowe.bsky.social for shipping this to me after I was without a copy for for 30 yrs

Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.

If you've recently started an account on Bluesky and you're looking to build a community here, I suggest making sure you've got your pfp and bio sorted out before following a bunch of people. A few posts in your timeline (including a basic intro post) will also help get the ball rolling.

Who doesn't appreciate a great venn diagram?

We have one on the island now that I’ve seen a few times.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

YouTube video by CBC British Columbia B.C.’s new health minister pledges to fix emergency room closures in rural communities

BC’s new health minister @josieosborne.bsky.social faces huge challenges in preventing ER closures in rural communities and ensuring people have access to family doctors. Those who know her say she’s well-placed to take over the high-profile role from Adrian Dix. Here’s my story

When BC Ferries, Hydro, etc. make the full migration I'll likely move X off my phone. But there's just too much info from officials on X to justify a deletion.

Great shots of a great show!

Yep followed you on here and appreciated it greatly. I hope the rest of the gallery comes over from the bad place too.

Wow congrats Sara!

Big thanks to @kelownagurl.bsky.social for being a major #BC community builder on here. Check out her starter packs and welcome to The Good Place!

I think Katie Derosa @katiederosa.bsky.social is missing from your BC news pack.

Wow lots of new adds to this pack in just a couple of days. Hope rising this is the new good place and journos and politicos will all leave the bad place behind for good. #bcpoli

Will eventually migrate some BC PolitiCAT stuff over here, if this platform takes off. But for now, here is the latest one.
(For those not familiar, I take BC political photos and add in cats, and raise money for charity through calendars)

I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.

I don’t usually follow celebrities but when I do it’s ones like FLAVOR FLAV @flavorflav.bsky.social and Weird Al @alyankovic.bsky.social

My wife asked dd what does a giraffe say? Answer: neck neck neck 😆

This summer I got to visit the town in Oregon that plays Castle Rock on a road trip. It’s just a few minutes off the I-5 and still looks the same!

Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now:

- McD’s drive thru
- Canadian Tire clerk
- AM radio community events reporter
- Baby/family trade show co-owner
- TV news and master control operator
- TV producer
- Communications Director
- Assistant Deputy Minister

Gotta say, I joined Bluesky a while back and dabbled, then waffled between it and Threads.
The migration from The Bad Place to this place has been so heartening. So great to see so many old followers and friends.
Let's keep it awesome.
