By the way, Edge of Tomorrow is definitely the best sci-fi movie — one of the best movies of any genre — that still too many people don’t know about. Suffered from the start from a bad title, but it’s absolutely fantastic. I’ve watched it SO many times.

I hope the government issued a press release thanking Polievre for his support of their budget "since he saw no need to submit an amendment"

If I had a nickel for every time the Bloc wound up leading the Opposition because the Tories fucked it up, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Game 1 blowout for the Blue Jays, just like Ronald Reagan predicted.

I have ADHD. My brain is built for waiting until the last minute to get shit done! Suck it, A.I.!

Same! One semester I did all my research for a paper at the very beginning and then wrote a 20 page paper 2 nights before the end of semester. I got an A or A+ on it. 😆

If I don't start on something right that second, it doesn't get done until deadline. No in between.

Vancouver Park Board's apology over Harry Potter event catches J.K. Rowling's attention | CBC News Vancouver’s park board is apologizing for its decision to host the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience in November, after hearing concerns from members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community that the event wa...

Who gives a fuck what Rowling thinks. That's not why I'm sharing this. I'm sharing it because this is what apologising and reconciliation looks like and that part warms my heart

dear JK Rowling,

on behalf of the city of Vancouver regarding the H.P. train ride bullshit that’s going on in Stanley Park:

we think you’re a fucking cunt and you should lick the mold growing on that wall behind you

hate youuuuuuuu 🖕💋🖕

So I managed to get a pair of tickets for $430 each for Category 2 somewhere in the stadium (actual seats are not assigned yet, what a silly system). Sadly, I missed out on the Canadian matches.

My time slot opened at 8:00am 😭

This showed up at 8:03. #fifa #fifavancouver

#VIFF is my annual reminder of why I avoid Cineplex theatres if I can. 😆

Coming up on The Early Edition we're going to hear from Liron Gertsman who has won the title of "Bird Photographer of the Year."

Here's some of his work:

End zone after the Lions scored a touchdown

Having a good time at the #BCLions thanks to @do604.bsky.social

Scene from Andor: "They don't even bother to lie badly anymore." "I suppose that's the final humiliation."

Also, the staff who worked at Empire were always the best!!

Can we go back in time to when Empire Theatres was still around so planning my #VIFF screenings would be so much easier because everything was within walking distance (or the same building!!).

Also, now I need to ask for time off so I can work this schedule. 😆 @viffest.bsky.social

Happy birthday!!

Your friendly reminder that you don’t have to turn right on a red if you don’t want to, even if it’s clear. Even if the guy behind you is laying on the horn.

Two chickens, drinking beer. One says: "When life is at its worst, this means that things can only get better." The other scruffier-looking chicken says "Or that you were wrong about it being at its worst."

Keep all commercial entertainment out of Stanley Park / X̱wáýx̱way, and but especially anything to do with JKR.

Harry Potter™: A Forbidden Forest Experience coming this fall to Stanley Park September 3 2025 – The Vancouver Park Board is pleased to announce that a new special event is coming to Stanley Park this fall. For the first time in Canada, Harry Potter Fans™ of all ages will have an opportunity to explore a spellbinding illuminated trail inspired by the iconic Forbidden Forest.

I support a democratically elected park board. Part of democracy is ensuring that the government’s decisions match the city’s values.

Vancouver is a city for all its people. Trans people included. I am calling on the Park Board to rethink this event and make this right.

Sad that it's not steaming. I was really looking forward to it!

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

“The Conservatives aren’t as much a political party as they are a ChatGPT-based slogan-generating algorithm speaking through the mouth of eveyone’s least favourite muppet, Pierre Poilievre — who has accomplished nothing during his 20 years in Parliament.”

AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”
