This is where we are now. Canadian Tire wants me to work for them for free. Basically asking me to volunteer to help sell their goods, enabling them to employ fewer people. But keep all the profit for themselves.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.
Had behind the scenes tour of Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society today (VAMMR). They rehabilitate seals, otters, sea lions and even the occasional cetacean. Also have world renowned program to disentangle creatures caught up in our sea garbage. Blue bins are ICU units. Great org!

I needed to distract from the horrors today. I feel insulted the WH doesn’t find a competent person to apply the right cover up. Either leave it alone or do it right. We aren’t stupid and it’s not hard. I banged my hand. Very similar bruise to the Orange Asshole. Before and after applying cover up.
(This isn't just directed at the NYTimes.) Stop with the relentless insistence that we move on, move on. There. Are. No. Scars. Yet. It is still an open wound. Sorry that the complex geopolitics of the real world don't conform to the drive of the news cycle. BUT THEY DON'T. So back off!
Racists always assume that their obsession with race is shared by everyone. As a result, they think multiculturalism is a weak stance that can't inspire people. Tell the people of Sarajevo and the larger Bosnia-Herzegovina that nobody dies to defend multiculturalism.
Anytime any of them buys a beer in the hotel bar, or pays for a coffee in Target, the people behind the counter are (or should be) writing down their names. They can't keep hiding.

It means nothing if they don't also strip him of the rest of the perks that Charles has quietly been bankrolling, like having this place to live in. Poooooooor Andy. gmafb
Cool. So that 'extra-judicial killing' thing? There are these guys who just killed 11 people in a boat. Once you're settled in to your new job, hit me up for their deets. I know where they live.
Thank you, Levi Weaver @threetwoeephus.bsky.social. I'll take lovely prose anywhere I can find it. In this case, Weaver's ruminations on hope and the announcement of next year's MLB schedule.
Cookie says Happy International Dog Day! And yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of her gotcha day. So we’re doing double celebrations here!
Break the premise. The fascists have already broken every premise they hate. Why aren't we doing the same?
Maybe someone could just give him a little pretend award. Like Shirley Temple’s:
I have questions. What was the life path that convinced Vincent Price’s grandson to become an English butler? And did he know that he was also going to be asked to run the BLS?
Cookie was trying to keep up with the news. But it’s all just too much.
Yeah. I don't get all the hand wringing. Every person who's left X say it's a wasteland of Nazis and bots. And evidence shows that the bots even outnumber the Nazis.
