@fandompulse HE MADE THE ANGELS GAY.

Neil Gaiman on why fans abandon popular franchises: "The fan base are fans. And they like the source material because it's the source material they like. So if you do something else, you risk alienating the fans on a monumental scale. It's not Batman if he's now a news reporter in a yellow trenchcoat with a pet bat." Do you agree with him?

@JCeacc @CoopTory And, therefore, a good public transit system is sometimes more convenient than driving. That's what I wrote.

@drestowe @CoopTory Well, there's only so much space in the city centre. Unless you want to bulldoze everything and turn it into a gigantic parking lot - there always be issues with parking in densely populated areas.

Good public transport is far more convenient than driving

Welcome to Canada's Indigenous Province Join me as we look at a comparison of Indigenous Province, to the rest of Canada's Provinces🧵 The algo is killing the reach, so appreciate the share

@PrishaMosley Wash your hands. After the toilet, before a meal, and once you're home from school. Don't touch your face. Take kiddie vitamins.

Calling on moms…. Can you share with me some good immunity and house keeping tips? I don’t want my kids getting sick like I am. What things help with staying healthy that aren’t too hard to do?

@GurvSC Too bad Pierre stuck to easy topics and the usual Conservative soundbites.

Joe Rogan podcast with Pierre has now hit 2 million views on YouTube alone. It’s his second most popular podcast in 2026.

Nuance is lost on the commenters of this post. 🙄

A close mom-friend of mine works 20 hours a week waitressing (more during weeks like this one) and brings home more money than I do. She sometimes turns down shifts when she knows it will be dull because she knows most of her income is tip-based. I would happily take an increase in cost if the expectation to tip was reset to being for above average service.

"The survey suggesting that 67% of Canadians want tipping to disappear misses a critical piece of context: respondents weren’t asked how food service employees would be compensated instead. If the question included whether they would accept higher menu prices to offset wages, the results would likely look very different."

@fraser_moe49528 @TLNewmanMTL Please help me to understand your logic. I'm saying there are more effective ways to issue the alerts and your response is that I should shut off my phone... thereby making the alerts LESS effective. ⁉️

@drestowe @TLNewmanMTL Shut your phones off when you go to bed 🙄

We need to have a conversation about these alerts.

In 1870, a German chemist named Erich von Wolf was analysing the iron content of various vegetables. He made a decimal point error. He recorded spinach as containing 35mg of iron per 100g. The correct figure was 3.5mg. The misplaced decimal sat in the nutritional literature for decades, entirely unchallenged, because nobody particularly felt like re-testing spinach. In 1929, the Popeye comic strip launched. The creators cited the iron content of spinach as the scientific basis for their character's powers. By this point, the decimal point error was already sixty years old and fully embedded in received nutritional wisdom. The error was identified and corrected in 1937. The correction was not issued with anything approaching the cultural reach of the original claim. Popeye continued punching things. The actual iron content of spinach, 3.5mg per 100g, roughly where it was always supposed to be, is further complicated by the fact that spinach is among the highest-oxalate vegetables known. Oxalates bind to iron and calcium in the gut and remove them before absorption. The iron in spinach absorbs at around 1–2%, compared to 15–35% for haem iron from red meat. You would need to eat roughly a kilogram of spinach to absorb the iron equivalent of a 100g beef steak. There is also the kidney stone question. Spinach contains around 970mg of oxalates per 100g: one of the densest plant sources. Chronic high spinach consumption, particularly raw in daily smoothies, is a documented pathway to calcium oxalate kidney stones. The smoothie industry has not issued a correction. Popeye is still a sailor.

@clitauvife That's a natural food colouring. Would you prefer artificial?

Prendre le temps de lire peut donner des surprises Ce qui semble etre un bon paté au fruits de mer de la Gaspésie est fait à .......Dorval Avec une liste d'ingrédients imprononcable ET meme fait avec des insectes! Cochenilles. On est loin du ptit paté de ma grand mère ...

@jl_mccabe I didn't give the shot to my daughter. Still not regretting it. By what measure was it a bad choice?

Fortunately, you're still in the minority. Not allowing a 12-year-old to get the vaccine was your choice and not a good choice.

@HippyMomPhD We're killing time at daughter's piano competition and she finished the book she brought, so I let her do cross math puzzles on my phone. She's ridiculously fast for her age (not even 9)!

If you kids doesn't know their math facts COLD, they can't do upper division math Learning math facts 10+ is possible but kids' brains are more receptive younger I know you don't want to.. but your kid NEEDS you to help them learn their facts♥️

Canada may have the ability to substantially raise its GDP and add thousands of new jobs by building more oil pipeline infrastructure, a new study suggests. globalnews.ca/news/11739635/…

@krassenstein Two random people...at a gas station...in Quebec... were speaking in English... about Trump..and you just happened to be around to hear. Anyone care to crunch the numbers on THAT particular probability?

TRUMP DID THIS. I heard 2 Canadians next to me complaining about how Trump is making Canada unaffordable. Trump is screwing the world.

@RosieRocks28 Sidekicks. 🤭 (To me, he's either that, or Walker, Texas Ranger.)

Tonight I will be watching a Chuck Norris movie. What's the best one?

@Negrilgrown @EatRealFood_ I'm having difficulty wondering if you typed this sarcastically or not. Because . . .yeah. Yeah, they did.

@EatRealFood_ Yeah, governments worldwide just hit pause on their economies for a ‘bad flu, totally a coordinated overreaction for fun.

My job came to a standstill and if it wasn’t for Justin Trudeau and CERB I would’ve lost everything I worked hard for.

@MisterEReports @JCCFCanada @grok x.com/i/grok/share/1…

@drestowe @JCCFCanada @grok @grok What is at stake in a case where a Canadian company is suing the Canadian government for espionage, sabotage, entrapment, and more, and the government didn't show up to defend itself, and the Court let them freely violate the Rules of Civil Procedure and take 11 months?

For the second day in a row, lawyers are in court in Halifax for a constitutional challenge to Nova Scotia’s ludicrous ban on walking in the woods, which prohibits citizens from hiking, fishing, bird-watching, and other harmless pursuits. Funded by the Justice Centre, this case will test whether a government can prohibit citizens from accessing roughly three-quarters of provincial land, even for zero-risk activities like hiking, based solely on the possibility of wildfire. Canadian veteran Jeffrey Evely is contesting a $28,000 fine issued for simply walking in the woods. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

@MisterEReports @JCCFCanada @grok What is at stake with this case?

@JCCFCanada So, you guys don't actually take on meaningful cases? Is it really too much to ask for to have REAL constitutional lawyers and defenders in the country?
