Y’all. I got this promo postcard in the mailbox… right out there talking about private healthcare here in Metro Vancouver, Canada!?! 🤨

Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is just the most obvious metaphor for USA today, under this MAGA regime. Also, Google maps has it listed it as Temporarily closed. DJT's America is a just a exhausting, unfunny joke.

The Google Map listing for Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The listing has the basic information about this landmark, including photos and location. Notably, the open air, public accessible national site is listed as Temporarily closed.

FIFA World Cup is “The Ugly Game”. It’s the Game of the Oppressors. The Game for the Bourgeois. The Hegemony Game. The Corruption Game. (Photos: Dallas has painted over a long time mural celebrating ocean life for a World Cup 26 ad, hosted by FIFA who gave war criminal, DJT, a peace prize.)

Instagram post from @wyland: FIFA has just destroyed one of my most beautiful iconic murals that my team and I painted for the people of Dallas to raise awareness about protecting our oceans.

Photo is of the mural when it first completed.

People don’t know how to work the ancient entertainment system. I heard the FA threw a sarcastic comment to her colleague about this model of a plane under her breath. 🤭 Now here’s a mystery… what’s the mirror for?

Tray table is half unfolded. There’s an indent for a cup. Then a sliding cover. Unslided cover reveals a mirror.

Gosh. I haven’t been on a plane with such a classic decor in a long time… Air Canada is taking me back in time.

The place filled out quite nicely. 😌

Commdore Ballroom, filling out with people.

Daniel@yvrdaniel· Apr 11

Just to point out how loud it is here… the empty earplug baggy is moving with the bass vibration…

Reliving my youth. Prozzak was my first concert in high school… back for more…

This is a little bit random - but also very wonderful... One Piece's Tony Tony Chopper is a MSF ambassador. img.msf.org/AssetLink/h8...

Yeah… next been here before. Here for the conversation with Karen Hao (Empire of AI)… Maria Ressa is here in a few weeks.

It’s my first time in UBc’s Chan Centre… 😲.

I guess it’s a bit more of a snow day than I anticipated. 😳😬🥶 @anthonyfloyd.ca

Snow falling in the backyard. Tree, yard, and car is covered in snow.

I've been thinking about this for a few days... where do I find this bulldog plushy? Because 😍... (From Netflix's The Boyfriend Season 2)

From Netflix's The Boyfriend, Season 2: Bomi is sitting on the couch. He is holding a bulldog stuffed toy by wrapping his arms around it and holding it against his chest. The bulldog stuffie is cricled in red for emphasis.

Wait - is the torchbearing the thing or is there more Hudcon/Heated Rivalry content to happen at the opening ceremony? (Got to note how an int'l marketing agency is very keen to leverage pop culture moment to get attention to their int'l event.) www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Screenshot of article section: Heated Rivalry and Mariah Carey at opening ceremony.

"Speaking of hockey, the stars of the steamy Canadian series Heated Rivalry, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, will combine fire and ice at the opening ceremony when they will be among the torchbearers carrying the Olympic flame."

"Oh, and speaking of icons to the queer community, Mariah Carey has been confirmed to be performing at the opening ceremony."

An unreal view when I looked up at the sky a few minutes ago, leaving my uncle’s place. The moon was surrounded by a seemingly perfect circle of cloud(?) (It shows up as a ring of light/glare in the photo. But looks like a ring of cloud in person.)

In a clear night sky, a bright spot in the middle is the moon. Surrounding the moon is a ring of light. In the foreground, there’s a tree in the bottom middle, extending up towards the center, covering part of the circle. There are silhouettes of trees along the bottom and along the lower right edge of the photo.

Ahh… I can’t read my own handwriting… I think I wrote grant funding there… but I can’t figure out what the first word is.

The season, yes. Max won Abu Dhabi. (Oscar 2nd, Landon 3rd). Not a F1 fan per se, but only follow every now and then. (And I find the drivers funny... less interested in car racing. 😅)

Wrapping up last full day in Dublin… the city had so many festive activities… put Vancouver and its surrounding municipalities to utter shame.

St Patrick’s Park, behind the St Patrick’s cathedral. Stokerland, a part of a festival celebrating Halloween and Bram Stoker is wrapping up. There is a beige and pink tent top in the foreground. Behind them, there is a small merry-go-around besides a small birdbath. Further to the right, there is a big red tent. And on in the back and in front of the cathedral, there are a few food trucks.

Daniel@yvrdaniel· Oct 22

@jmcelroy.bsky.social saw from someone on social that Park Theatre is closing? (I guess my biggest question I have is what will come of it.)

Why it was so unsettling when MP clapped for a CK eulogy.

Instagram post from @alyssahuynhwritings.

It's a dark and unsettling time when hate speech, racism, and discrimination are dressed up as "freedom of speech," when exclusion is rebranded as "personal beliefs" and when dehumanisation is excused as "just an opinion."

The line between freedom of speech and hate speech is not fine at all, it is drawn distincitvely between respect and harm.

True freedom is only possible when it does not come at the expense of another person's safety, dignity, or humanity.

… sending condolences to the family of Charlie Kirk. What happened is absolutely horrific. Our core values stem from treasuring all life, furry friend's and humans alike. Absolutely nobody deserves to have violence inflicted upon them because of opposing views. Sending healing thoughts and prayers to those that need them at this time. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, violence is absolutely not the answer.

I saw this IG reel featuring a funny boon design with “New England” in its title and thought @rezekjoe.bsky.social must know about it. 😂 www.instagram.com/reel/DK47rvh...

Read about this Canadian Screen Industry Statement of Values. So went to check out what it is + who signed it. Well first piece of text on that page reads, "This is what leadership looks like". So... like... does this not look tone deaf to anyone else?

Header image from the Canadian Screen Industry Statement of Values. There is a Canadian flag on the left side and on the right, black bold text in all caps says, "This is what leadership looks like". Under that, in smaller red text, also bold and all caps, says, "Canadian Screen Industry Statement of Values".

From chapter 1269 of “How Private Equity Ruins Everything”

Text: “What caused Joannes to collapse? For many, the answer to the question “Who killed Joann?” is simple: Leonard Green. In 2011, the L.A.-based private equity company took Joann private for $1.6 billion in a leveraged buyout that saddled the company with significant debt.” - March 29, 2025.

From Fortune Article, “How Joann Fabrics went from retail darling to bankruptcy disaster.”

Lol...

Here’s a paragraph to note… TLDR: turn out for a byelection in 2017 was 11% even though they hoped for 20%.
