"a mayor does not govern alone" - no, it governs with his wife taking his old council seat to be a yes-woman

the NBA draft lottery is rigged.

(the NHL draft lottery is definitely not rigged.)

very "my shirt has people asking questions already answered by my shirt" stuff going on here.

for years I've felt we've needed to talk about whoever's writing these business descriptions for Google Maps.

"yeah, i'll have a cookie dough blizzard" (somehow gets handed a Big Mac)

dead in the middle of little italy, little did we know that we riddled some middle men that didn't do diddly

seen a few pop up around downtown the past few days.

how many of them will be 18 for the next election too? Guess who they won't be voting for.

NB Bluesky hive mind: a friend wants to shoot a music video at the bowling alley with the most outdated decor in the province. Any ideas?

nothing makes me more ashamed at my home province than the CBC podcast today where they tried to come up with the most famous New Brunswicker, and came up with a bunch of people who moved away when they were kids, and at least one person I've never heard of.

enjoy reigning her in, Mark Carney!

Filing my taxes and came across this.

Is "hydro bill" an Ontario-ism? Never heard anyone call it that in my life.

FIFA introduces the FIFA Peace Prize - an award to recognise exceptional actions for peace and unity

hope everyone is feeling peaceful and unified

Saint John. Way too many people relying on outdated stereotypes from 40 years ago.

does TSN have to make *everything* about hockey?

Baltimore

one of those 500-pound novelty rappers

The new most terrifying thing about space travel is simply that, even when outside the Earth, you cannot escape your inbox.

this. we see fake news every day of the year now.

Ts and Ps for all the Italians in Toronto who now have World Cup tickets for a Canada-Bosnia match

they're not even reviving Definition.

I showed an Aussie friend the house hippo ad the other day. Realized that most of the world's problems today stem from the type of people who thought that it was real.

I still think we wouldn't be having this discussion if the Knicks, Lakers or Celtics were among the tanking teams.

McDonald's pizza marketing from the early 90s

the one good thing about cursive Z's was when McDonald's had pizza in Canada in the 90s and they used the golden arches as the "z"s in their marketing.

(I remember i had just learned cursive in school months before, otherwise it would have made zero sense to me.)

remember that country singer from Nova Scotia who wrote a song about this and single handedly tanked United’s stock price? Simpler times.

this year's Harvest lineup: a few gems like Graham Nash or Young the Giant...

sprinkled in with the usual "if you missed them the first 326 times they came to NB, here's your chance"

just looked it up, seems like a total crackpot. A mix of legit(?) concern about dam breaches and incoherent conspiracy BS about a bunch of other stuff.

Gregory Brew o @gbrew24 I brought this on myself Gregory Brew O @gbrew24 X.com Are we expecting an exogenous oil supply shock on the scale of late '78-early '79? ® Gregory Brew •@gbrew24 • 8/25/23 They redid the chart, but it still pains me to point out that something "very" specific happened in 1978-79 to facilitate a second major spike in inflation. And it's unlikely to happen again. wapo.st/3YT6iED The last decade of U.S. inflation mirrors 1966
