Out at the Carrefour Laval mall at the Apple Store. Never been here before. Fucking luxe mall holy shit, and such a zoo today. The tech team has to do something with my laptop so looks like I have an hour to kill while I wait. Gonna go drink a beer in the parking lot then hit the food court 😂

Just walked by what I am pretty sure was a couple having sex in a running, parked car, on Plaza St-Hubert. Montreal is wild man

Not religious at all anymore and wasn’t catholic to begin with but I am pretty down with this new direction.

You know it’s a good show when they got the characters taking care of the cat that got left behind by a murder victim #Beck #SvenskaFilm 🇸🇪

Ah yes, the old “picking up ladies by offering them sangria from a straw peeking out from the letter box” trick. Those Swedes’ll get you every time 🇸🇪 #Beck

If you want an idea of how deeply corrupt Montreal is, my friend just informed me that the fucking English School Board is mobbed up 🤯

This shit is fucking wild if you haven’t seen this yet @isaiahbishop.bsky.social

Really good job by Reuters here. Someone’s gotta have a spine in this day and age
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Not exaggerating when I say that Beck is one of the best tv shows I’ve ever watched. Fucking gunvald and his raincoat man

It’s funny to me when they speak English on Swedish TV series, out of nowhere they’re just suddenly bilingual and have their own special accent. North Americans could fucking never (except Quebecois, Acadians, and Cajuns, obviously)

Sometimes I really feel like there are glitches in the matrix - this is what happened when I opened the pic my friend sent me 😂

I’m gonna keep reposting this joke until someone laughs at it. The beatings will continue until humour has resumed
You’d think that with all these people doing “AI Upscales” of old shows like Deep Space Nine, they’d have better compression?? 30 gbs?? AI can fake 4k but can’t fake 12gb downloads… more like Amateur Intelligence amirite people

Today I found out that Vancouver's "No Fun City" nickname was first written in 2000 in a tabloid newspaper by a journalist who now works in our newsroom

And when I told him he said the newspaper sent him to Amsterdam for 10 days to find out why they were better

anyways i'm doing great today

I am not a huge Carney fan but I’m inclined to agree with this assessment (assuming the second part actually happens - I will believe it when I see it)
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...
The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

Life would be a lot better if there were suspenseful synth strings playing whenever something stressful was happening to me

Accidentally got grano padano instead of Parmegiano Reggiano and I just want to say on behalf of everyone: “Fuck. That.”

It’s good to put myself out there professionally but god I hate the time waiting to see if anyone responds positively. Break a leg, indeed

An idyllic rural setting. A farmer carries his crops into his cottage. All is well…until a submachine gun moves into the frame
