So is there a third person who know how to crack, or just two? I feel invested in this story for some reason.

"Maple", oil on canvas, 12x16", 2026 & "Tower (block)", oil on canvas, 12x16", 2026- $950(Cdn) each #art #landscape #cityscape #trees #canadianart #painting

A painting of a view of the maple tree & the tree of heaven behind it in my backyard with 2 red brick houses behind. The house on the left is obscured by branches & leaves, and in the bottom left corner vines cover the fence. The fence continues along the bottom edge to the right corner covered by greenery. Behind the fence is a taupe coloured vinyl sided shed in my neighbour's yard.

A painting of an apartment building, tall warm grey with columns of small windows & balconies against a cool blue sky. The right side of the building is facing the sunset, glowing warm yellow. In front of & blocking out most of the building is a large, green, leafy tree that gets darker towards the bottom. A red-leafed dogwood is in the foreground. A power line reflecting sunlight bisects the painting horizontally. At the top left there's a hint of an overhanging maple bough.

It’s never too late to quit Twitter, even if the effects may take some time to dissipate. There is a loss from it—I felt it for a while. But there are real genuine intellectual risks to being there. And here’s a source for intelligence and vulnerability to propaganda:

Evidence is already accruing that spending time on Twitter pulls ppl to the right, bc the algorithm feeds you horrible stuff. And again: academics are likely more vulnerable, bc they convince themselves they are less.

I have an on-topic meme! Behold!

Simpsons meme where Frank Grimes has been replaced with Kai Wynn. She says to Homer (who has been replaced with Quark): "You've...met the prophets? You?"

In the next Panel Quark responds: "Sure. You haven't?"

Basing the rest of the tree in changed the contrast balance, so deepening shadows & lightening highlights as the tree leafs out. The contrast between the solidity of the tower & the softer, pointillist tree is evident. In progress: "Tower (block)", oil on canvas, 12x16" #wip #painting #canadianart

This is abhorrent. From journalist William Wilson: "I was pepper sprayed from close range without warning...After a heavy baton blow to my leg...I was then pushed to the ground. SPVM continued to beat me as I lay on the pavement. I felt several kicks against my body, including my head and neck."

Edmonton didn't become Canada's most affordable major city by accident. Over the past decade, Council streamlined permitting, updated zoning, enabled mixed-use builds, and cut parking minimums. As we grow toward 2 million, affordability ensures Edmonton remains a city where we can all thrive.

Vancouver: $3030, Calgary: $1890, Edmonton: $1570, Winnipeg: $1660, Toronto: $2.650, Montreal: $1820, Ottowa-Gatineau - Ontario Part: $2360 and Halifax $2400.

AdP was on Fallon (last night?) Played a brand new song & killed it. The complexity of what they do & how tight they are is mind-blowing. And despite the weirdness, it's catchy as hell. (Also their costume lights are synced to the stage light show. Never noticed that before)

In 1906, 27-year-old Canadian Peter Lymburger Robertson invented a new screw and screwdriver. Considered far superior to the Philips screw, the Robertson screw is now regarded as one of Canada's greatest inventions. This is the story. 🧵 1/8
