Gay Canadian living in Calgary using his powers for good. Not from Alberta! Interested in legal news, fitness, Canadian politics, especially Ontario and Alberta, and trash TV. #BoycottAmerica #ElbowsUp #CDNpoli
Honestly, we need to stop giving attention to people who only exist to beg for our attention. If we do that, they will stop. It's literally that easy. So, I am going to go ahead and block the name. Why don't you treat yourself and do the same?
Needing a chill night so I decided to throw on a movie. I keep trying to get to movies and franchises I've not seen from the olden days and this time I picked #ChildsPlay. So far, so good. Pretty whacko concept but... it works? It just seems to work. #BlueSkyMovies
I have always been proud of Canada, but this year I feel especially proud at how we have come together to deal with the threat of a hostile former ally. We have demonstrated our toughness, our resolve, and our ability to adapt. We got this! Happy Canada Day!
With 98.1% of polls reporting, the Liberals remain in the lead in Terrebonne. So proud of @mark-carney.bsky.social and his team today. Canadians are responding to the positive, nation building message. I'm feeling so good about Canada's future right now. #CDNpoli #LPC
Calgary Police just issued a shelter in place order. Stay safe. #yyc
Saw this and it made me think of our earlier discussion. Americans would do best to acknowledge the rot within their country and deal with it. They seem to expect a quick fix but we would be so dumb to let them back to our table without meaningful and real change.
I don't know who made this, but kudos to them. It made me giggle like an idiot. #CDNpoli
A friend of mine is exploring his Indigenous roots, and part of that was learning about the history of the true Pocahontas. I did some learning, too, but one thing I never did watch is the Disney movie. I'm guessing it's going to be a dubious account, but still wanted to see. #Pocahontas
Been playing more with AI. Thought this would have been a truly cool faction in the WWF/WWE or even WCW. William Regal, David Taylor, and add Lady Blossom for a new iteration of the Blue Bloods. I think it could have worked very well. #WrestleSky #AI #ChatGPT
Been playing with AI and created a really neat portrait of a character that I would have loved to see more of, and which was ahead of its time. When Matt Borne, the original Doink, left the WWF, he created a crazy gimmick as "Borne Again". This AI creation is pretty spot on. #WrestleSky
Saw this on Facebook and love it. The North Does Not Bend The Knee! #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #CanadaStrong
Watching back #BeverlyHills90210 again. On season two and am enjoying the absurdity of it all because, when I was a kid, I thought this was so juicy. It is actually pretty wholesome. Funny, though, how these cast members were so obviously well above high school age.
Every now and then, you pick up something that just speaks to your childhood and this is it. Macho Man from WSW, and paired with the Mattel Sensational Queen Sherri and Brother Love figures. How can you go wrong? #Wrestling #WWE
Posts like this concern me because it shows we haven't quite understood the Republican/Evangelical playbook yet. Their strategy is maximum cruelty and then dangling out opportunities for themselves to become the victims, despite that. Don't fall for it. Ignore her. #ErikaKirk
Was it worth it? Hate always breeds more hate. Elon Musk had no difficulties using his wealth to torment others. It's just a truly sad state of affairs.
Picture it. Germany, 1992. A young Canadian boy searches stores for the newest and latest wrestling action figures. This is one set I wanted but was never made. Until now. It's the Beverly Brothers! #WrestleSky
Saw this on #MuppetHistory on Facebook and had to share. If you're spending your day doom-scrolling, the great news is you don't have to.
That is quite something. The universe works in funny ways, doesn't it? #MayorMamdani #DickCheney
Has anyone investigated why his head is so pointy? I'm just curious. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it. He looks like a demented cartoon character.
Really liking this show #TheDiplomat. Reminds me of a mash-up of Scandal and the West Wing. Love Michael McKean from Breaking Bad and am excited because I saw that Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford are coming soon.
Sad news with another passing. Leilani Kai announced that Bobby Horne, who was best known as Mo from "Men On A Mission", passed away after a health battle. They were so fun in the 90s and I got to see him wrestle a few times. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing. #WrestleSky #SirMo
Doing another movie night and this time it's #DirtyRottenScoundrels. This is one I have heard of, vaguely, but when I saw it starred Michael Caine and Steve Martin, I added it to my list. Anyone else see this one? Basically anything either of them do is good.
