Yesterday we saw something that can only be described as being like an electric Lamborghini on a tricycle chassis. The net effect was fairly cool, almost, but the poor guy driving had to wear a bike helmet with his cop glasses. I assume this was not quite the vibe he hoped for.

Listen, if we fix the housing shortage, we break the housing Ponzi scheme. Keep your priorities straight.

Hey all! I’m trying to help an international student whose employer has left her in the lurch. I need valid contact for someone in Migrant Workers Alliance or Migrant Students United. If you happen to have leads, let me know and we’ll find a private way to share that info.

Macklemore won the rap battle wow

The entire Palestine Amplified miniseries put out by @kexp’s Sound & Vision has been phenomenal. This episode, on joy, is beautiful, powerful, the kind of radio the world needs right now: overcast.fm/+S-ZDejnGA

@TrilliumFlowers I *may* have gone on a few tears that would predispose him to being suspicious of anything where the name Ford is dropped 😉 But I'm pleased with how he parses stuff.

@Twinklybugs ‘Now, what makes you think that?’ Perfect.

Ad for Ford gov comes on podcast. Kiddo: "This is bullshit, right? It smacks of bullshit." Me: "Now, what makes you think that?" Kiddo: "Overly sincere men talking over overly folksy guitar music. REEKS. Of bullshit." It's completely possible to teach kids media literacy!

ISRAEL MUST PUNISH GENOCIDAL RHETORIC ISRAEL MUST ALLOW AID IN ISRAEL MUST PREVENT THE DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE ISRAEL MUST SUBMIT A REPORT TO THE COURT IN ONE MONTH ON MEASURES / SA MUST RESPOND THESE MEASURES ARE FUCKING BINDING YES. I. C. J !!! 🇵🇸🇿🇦🇵🇸🇿🇦🇵🇸🇿🇦🇵🇸🇿🇦🇵🇸🇿🇦🇵🇸🇿🇦

Any heritage minister that would muse aloud about using nuclear bombs has no business holding that title. Or, indeed, any title.

No hospitals or universities left in Gaza. If it’s not a genocide, why erase their dreams and their ability to heal themselves? What other reason could there be to take both those things away?

Curled up sick and dozing on the wingback. 9yo tucked me in with his favourite blankie, kissed me on the cheek, and put on a movie for us to watch while I doze. This kid, man.

This thread brought to you by traffic in the Distillery on a Saturday night and my extremely large child/compromised pelvic floor. Also all lungs. And this article. thestar.com/news/gta/the-k…

Just follow that King transit corridor thing through with the courage of the convictions involved. Do it. Dooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiit.

My only 2024 prediction is that someone is going to start doing rickshaws in Toronto and make a goddamn killing.

@heavenlyevil That makes a great deal of sense! I am relieved about the bag situation.

@Twinklybugs It might not be. Chickens don't come with the innards/neck in them. But I figure, if it's turkey, goose, or duck, they probably do have them because it's tradition.

You know it's true love, when a 42yo who's been vegetarian since 16 is googling how to roast a duck. DUCK CAVITY. GUYS, I NEED TO CONTEND WITH DUCK CAVITY.

@4shelleyj Not a thing like them 🤣

@Twinklybugs 9 year old boys!

9yo: WHO IS THIS?! Me: Digable Planets. 9yo: You can tickle a planet?! Me: Digable Planets. 9yo: DICKABLE PLANETS?! 🤣🤣🤣 We got there. Don’t worry.
