A raven at Buntzen Lake, BC, who's apparently spent too much time hanging around people with phones (needs sound). He also did an uncanny imitation of a low battery alert.

@pnwkate.bsky.social you might find this amusing.

Someday, you'll have to teach the rest of my family what "finished" means.

I see he likes it ruff.

This really doesn't seem right. In fact, I don't really see why they must pay extra at all. But to pay extra and not get the service? Definitely not right @aircanada.bsky.social #disability #travel

Such commitment!

And having had a sled dog in our family, I expect that "got the camera back from the dog" was not nearly as straightforward as the "found the dog with the camera" part.

Aw c'mon, he conquistadored enough in the Philippines that they killed him. Wouldn't that make him eligible for a nameplate on a moped or something?

But... but... where's the Magellan?!? And no Vasco da Gama? It's because he's Portuguese isn't it?

Historians chatting. One says "those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."

Here in YVR we've had... zero snow so far this season. Well, we had a hail/sleet combo that imitated light snow a week ago, but that was about 2mm and it didn't stick. Torn between my like of snow and our drivers' inability to handle snow.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a spectacular and somehow appropriate photo of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Leave that poor rhino alone

Excellent advice. #news #currentevents

It must have been interesting, not being next to France back then as Tristan says. I wonder which country the Rhine flowed through at that time?

Besides, you don't have to pay to go into Holt Renfrew just to *see* what they're selling.

He definitely qualifies as chonky.

Oh yeah, can’t wait. ❄️

Came here expecting this instead of all that technobabble about frigates.

Vancouver's Celebration of Light fireworks festival cancelled indefinitely | CBC News Organizers of a public fireworks festival, which has brought millions of people to Vancouver's English Bay over the past three decades, says it can’t go ahead without long-term government and private-...

You can like or dislike fireworks, enjoy the post-show exodus from downtown or abhor the crowds, but the Celebration of Light is probably the biggest event that celebrates Vancouver's Vancouverness.

Traditions die, but this one hits bigger than most.

My dog generally preferred my wife's company during relaxed times... but not when she felt threatened. So I had to be the one to take her to the vet so she could hide behind my legs.

some time ago, German journalist (M. Lanz) was told by a friend in the US:
”sex doesn’t sell that much anymore. we have a new thing now, we discovered hatred”

it generates more emotion, which leads to engaging with the content longer, which in the end leads to what current internet is about: payout

I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but I can only see the "hype" button in the phone app.

But I can't find it in the browser version of YouTube. hth

I do miss the old Indian food restaurant that was in the Tinseltown food fair. Fantastic owners and some very tasty fare. 10+ years gone now, I believe the owner retired.

Always look forward to the music posts. Either new to me (like the Miranda Sex Garden Caravan) or reminders. Which I'm sharing with the kid, who in turn is enjoying and sharing with friends.
