Tweet from Reverend Jordan Wells: "Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican. The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend."
This is an incredible tweet.
Look, everybody’s feeling the pinch, we don’t need to hear how much your herons are costing you, Mr. Rockefeller.
This is stupid. Nobody thought Spoonman was about anything except the actual guy from Seattle, “Artis the Spoonman” who also starred in the video playing… spoons. www.vice.com/en/article/s...
I am a western separatist now.
“My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it.”

I’m not even kidding but my brain was doing the same this morning but with coelacanth, coleanthus, and caecotropes. We have rabbits and it was the third one I couldn’t remember. Google at your own risk.
Vancouver’s “progressive” parties are going to turn city hall into one of those 19th century photo parlours where you can dress up and get your picture taken like a Mountie or a school marm! Don’t let this happen, get out and vote!
That old-timey sepia-toned chaos is the scariest kind of chaos.
Does this mean you’ll finally be able to deliver the print edition to BC?
Thank you! Once I’ve got the shop running you can stop by the free community bike repair station that I will set up.
And yes, I do need a 2200 sq. foot shop.
Book cover image for “Mexico: A 500-Year History” by Paul Gillingham. The cover is divided into red, white, and green horizontal sections with a stylized Aztec snake god between the title and author text.
Apologies to anyone who had Paul Gillingham’s “Mexico” on hold at VPL. I finally finished it and returned it this morning. Seriously, 752 page books should get a longer loan period, especially if you have a job and kids.
“Buns askew” is also why my right shoulder hurts after sitting at my desk all day.
Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)
Sofia, a somewhat fuzzy white lurcher dog with black spots sits in the sunshine pictured from the shoulders up.
This dog just grabbed a whole croissant off the counter, casually flipped it into the air and ate it like an orca devouring a seal. No guilt whatsoever. Completely remorseless.
I have yet to try the Irish spice bag but want to! I believe the Wolf and Hound has one on their menu (in Vancouver).
Pretty sure that’s what they did for the actors in those Peter Jackson movies.
The internet we were supposed to have has been replaced by a constant stream of 90s late night tv infomercials.
I continue to be fascinated by what the algorithm thinks is wrong with me. A couple of years ago it was erectile dysfunction, then a frighteningly buff Asian man was telling me I needed to do tai chi, next was my vagus nerve, and now it’s dehydrated fascia blocking my lymphatic system. Amazing.
I haven’t seen anything like this Allbirds move since Van Ruyter’s Clog Co. switched over to tulips in 1637.
we have a baseball team that is exactly the right fit for this city
Part of the reason I think I left theatre and events work many years ago was that I started to resent always working evenings and weekends even though I’m not one to go out often.
Biblically accurate ICE goon
‘Everything is gone’. Israel is a terrorist state, now carrying out genocide in Lebanon, systematically destroying entire villages, rigging homes with explosives, and obliterating them in massive remote detonations. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
Just like there’s a tweet for every Trump fiasco, there’s a massive budget cut for every warm and fuzzy or elbows up Carney moment.
Two identical pictures of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The first has text: "Shares feel good zoom call with Canadian astronaut as public relations exercise." The second has different text: "Cut's funding for Canadian Space Agency by 32.6%"
A lot of Canucks feel pride at a Canadian astronaut on a moon mission. The Carney government is milking this opportunity to associate itself with those good feelings while cutting nearly a third of all funding for Canada's space agency.
