@crockpics Where is this car today ?

John Lennon, pretending to have been run over by his psychedelic Rolls-Royce, May 25, 1967 . Lennon ordered the car in December 1964, and it was delivered the following June, originally painted matte black. In 1967, he decided to have it repainted bright yellow and commissioned artist Steve Weaver to decorate it with elaborate, bright swirls and floral motifs in the psychedelic style.

4 days out from my life-changing surgery, @Aetna has denied the appeal for my brain surgery. to be clear, when i signed up to aetna months ago, the coordinator had confirmed they would cover this surgery. then, a week ago, they said the surgery was too experimental/elective and denied coverage. we appealed. that appeal was just denied today. now, my neurosurgeon is trying to do a peer-to-peer consult with someone at aetna to explain why i need it so we don’t lose the surgery date on monday morning. aetna is not being responsive. this is sadistic and a violation of basic trust. please spread this so they can’t ignore it. they may not care if i live or die but people should know just what kind of company they’re dealing with. and please pray they are able to have a peer-to-peer consult with my neurosurgeon and have a change of heart.

You're warned. This weekend's post is long, as I dissect what might happen if (when) Trump passes from the scene, and disparate factions in the GOP axis draw their long knives. And why their greatest tool in maintaining GOP discipline might fail suddenly. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-va…

@Universal4karts @BobPickard Credit: Babel installation by Cildo Meireles at the Tate, composed of 100s of old and new secondhand analog radios stacked in a tall tower. The radios are tuned to different stations reflecting the biblical story of the Tower of Babel and the complexities of modern communication.

@MichelleRempel @CBCNews @seanfeucht Charming bunch of followers you’ve cultivated here @MichelleRempel

@MichelleRempel @CBCNews @seanfeucht Kneecap isn’t coming to a public park in my community. Feucht is bringing his anti-LGBTQ roadshow disguised as “Christian” worship music to a public park while city of Abbotsford claims they are “neutral”. Our LGBTQ community has the right to feel safe in a city park.

@ty_olsen Congratulations @ty_olsen You’ve done so much great writing at FVC, looking forward to reading you at @TheTyee

I'm so excited to join a group of journalists I have admired for years. I don't have room to list them all here. At its core, publications are built on the journalists that work for them, and The Tyee's group is impressive, stable & growing. I'm starting on Monday. Onward.

Personal news: In this morning's newsletter, I announced I'm leaving FVC & Overstory Media at the end of the week. My reasons include general burnout, personal living circumstances & the challenges that come with operating a publication that's part of a larger media business.

Why is local radio important? Why is ham radio important during local states of emergency? Internet connections go down, cellphone service goes down, social media fails. Time for all governments to get serious about radio's role. #cdnpoli #bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

@JonFraserTF @Famlawoncoxwell @joe_warmington This is the story of the co-op housing in my childhood neighbourhood. The homes still stand today and it’s a beautiful neighbourhood communitystories.ca/v2/grimsby-coo…

@Famlawoncoxwell @joe_warmington Public housing and co-ops certainly have all the style and charm of Soviet style housing. It also creates ghettos which in turn create significant social problems and crime.

Communism hasn’t worked where it’s been tried.

STORY: Voting plunged in October's local elections. This occurred across the Fraser Valley and, seemingly, all of BC. And it wasn't just a localized dip: fvcurrent.com/article/langle…

This morning, I got a leaked document detailing how Doug Ford was gutting conservation authorities - which oversee & protect watersheds - to build houses. @EmmaMci & I spent the whole day trying to understand and explain what's going on and why it matters #onpoli" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenarwhal.ca/ontario-conser…
