Can't believe there is a Superbowl ad for a product that helps with paying your taxes.
I can't be bothered to see where it's playing.
But if a multiplex, buy a ticket for something else and sneak across. Nobody is gonna notice much less bounce you.
May also answer the question "does a film show if nobody is there to see it?"
More public restrooms across our city?
Relief for all New Yorkers.
Great time for me to know nothing
Dont like our pen odds with almost all our best shooters subbed + LAFC shooters in zone + Hugo vs Yohei.
Tho guess better than Caps odds scoring before pens.
That's one of the shows on my neurospicy daughter's comfort viewing rotation. She had gotten back again to season 1 ep 1 the other day, and thought I'd join for a bit. And got sucked in. And heard myself say out loud "dammmn, this is really good."
This government's signal legacy in higher education is going to be "we torched whatever we could right across the country because we couldn't figure out how to control the southern Ontario housing market".
Ford can't/won't build houses? Better knife some more rural colleges in NB or BC.
I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”
Best? I'll go with ones I recommend.
Paths of Glory
Ice Cold in Alex
Thin Red Line
Three Kings
Casablanca
Not sure if it's the case here, but other setups I've seen the rooftop play area is for the littlest ones, for some secured air & exercise.
See also seniors facilities with memory care floors, also having their outside space on upper floors.
It's the circulation of life.
You’re far closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming a billionaire.
They’re not choices or moral failings.
They can happen in an instant from an infection, accident, job loss or sudden illness.
They’re minority groups you can join at any time.
Naked Peter Parker in fetal position the only illustration, middle of otherwise blank white page. Three separate words: Warm. White. Peaceful.
For different reasons, quite the first page too.
My peak comic reading & collecting period.
Business opportunity here to supply "guardrail" add-on that sits / raises the top of fan coil to guard height.
Yikes. What do non- Catholic special needs kids do?
(Staring in from BC where Catholic schools are all private)
This cut made some inroads circa 1989-90. Thankfully killed off quickly by the sideburns of Beverly Hills 9210 + overall hair length of Nirvana.
Watching playoff hockey on CBC on my 4k 55" TV.
For free, over the air, via a $25 HD antenna. Like it's the 20th century.
So lame @sportsnetpr.bsky.social blocking CBC's online feed of something that is free over the air.
I believe popular Vancouver opinion is The Cambie = The Ship.
Maybe as close as there is here, but it is not.
And after 30 years away, I am reminded of this when I visit.
Said last goodbyes to Calgary there in 1996.
First place I took my 18yo son to when I dropped him off last Sept to start UofC.
I'm sure his base there will see it, swallow it, spin it as "now we will have a louder, more powerful voice representing us!"
Every time school marks come out I am reminded how absolutely sh!tty the MyEducationBC website is.
Totally bananas that only one email address can be associated with a child's school progress.
Spend more time talking to my ex- coordinating logging in than about the class marks or attendance posted.
On my couch watching live stream of Green Day at Coachella 2025 thinking about being stuck in Cloverdale entry line, hearing but not seeing, Green Day as an opening act at Lollapalooza 1994.
Unscientific update (looking at queue outside my kitchen window): Boomers in queue being slowly be supplanted by Gen Xers as the brunch hour arrives.
Take out coffee in foreground, side of building mural and blue sky background. Mural says 'its the little things"
No caption (except alt text) needed.
Advance poll line wraps out church, around corner, across lane, and up the block.
Advance 🇨🇦 fed elxn polls open in my 'hood to big early lines.
Altho stereotype for most here would be "those who get in lines early."
Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Douglas Park voting line at 2:55pm. Down the walk, around the corner on the sidewalk to the parking lot drive.
Douglas Park voting right now
My condolences.
Think I lost a strawberry rhubarb pie like this last Tuesday.
Pretty sure I would have remembered eating it on the way home. But that hasn't been ruled out completely.
Really could have enjoyed that pie this week tho...
After he gave WWII London bombing updates, don't believe Edward R Murrow went "...and now let's hear what our listeners in Berlin have to say."
What’s happening in Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹 is absolutely extraordinary!
Mount Etna is erupting while its summit remains covered in snow—an incredible clash of fire and ice.
Here are some explorers skiing between lava flows and snowy slopes—a truly unprecedented sight! ⛷🔥❄️
Graph showing divergence of life expectancy amongst First Nations and non-First Nations people in Alberta between 1999 and 2023.
The gap between First Nations and non-First Nations life expectancy in Alberta is 19 years, and wider now than any other point on record. This is a provincial and national emergency. #ableg
