So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

exactly and the whole point of a culture is things like shared experiences, values, stories, beliefs, food recipes, etc — for better or worse human culture is a wonderful thing that shapes profoundly how we connect to others and with it being so far eroded we will be deeply harmed

This is true! I saw a shoebill in a documentary once, before I knew what a shoebill was, and shoebills look creepy anyways but without context (I think the sound was off) it looked TOO much like video of a living dodo.

As Canada becomes increasingly known for exporting wildfire smoke, is now the time to build oil pipelines? I speak to Jaime Poisson at CBC’s Front Burner about what Carney is prioritizing for investment with little to no public debate.

"ADHD label risks lifelong harm to children." If you don't label the disorder, then what we will be labelled instead is "Lazy." "Underachiever." "Doesn't live up to their potential." "Bad student." Those labels come with pain, shame, and abuse. The ADHD label comes with a chance for support.

Even if a grenade goes off without the pin being pulled, we don’t say the grenade “acted on its own.” We start looking for faulty manufacturing or the way it was stored.

For Doctor Who to be “of its time,” it needs to have opinions. It always has. Gallifrey has always made the best villain, and now is the best time to highlight that. Also, the Doctor can be a true outsider & better critic of Earth. She can start without having already done and seen everything.

Here lies JD. He drew as many comics as he could. @lostcity.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I would make the story about the Doctor trying to escape and undermine the Gallifreyan authorities, who can be cast as representing all the worst aspects of recent British history- xenophobia, soft colonialism, and rigid classism. Her character is already set up for that (hence the fugitive status).

You can change the setting, lower the stakes to something more relatable, mix up the formula, and not expect audiences to have to know any of the past 60 years of backstory, WITHOUT erasing any beloved canon. No time war, no Daleks, no Flux, no 2000 years of trauma, but also no erasing history.

I would make the new show about the “Fugitive Doctor,” Jo Martin’s Doctor. She‘s cut off from most of modern continuity because she’s an incarnation from before the show’s origins, who doesn’t share any memories with other Doctors. She can be written, then, as a new character without leaning on lore

Let me be the one to run Doctor Who for a couple of years. I know what to do. The show needs a break from recircling the same ground over and over. Whatever petty grievances audiences have with past showrunners, this is the unsolvable problem. How to make an old show feel new, without a hard reboot.

Today the Premier revealed his environmental platform: re-announcing a marine plan signed two years ago, a land target from 2023 and a data centre power cap that’s already in force. What he didn’t say, is that his own government admits B.C. will miss its climate targets.

it’s what the People WANT
3 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled “AI Bros:”
An Ai Bro is standing in front of a TV wearing his default expression (SMUG)

Behind him on the TV is the axe scene from American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is wearing the transparent raincoat and standing next to his ridiculous stereo. Except in this image Christian Bale has been replaced by the AI Bro.

AI bro annoyingly says “People want to put themselves in movies”

Panel 2 and 3 are titled “People:”

Panel 2: 
A Blue Guy holds his phone up to a Yellow Guy and says “Hey! I’ve got a little video from that party”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy sees himself on the phone screen and almost cringes himself into a singularity. He is blushing and squeals “Ohh my Goddd. My FACE and VOICE”

That last Green Party post has FOUR retweets. I have no illusions that BC voters care about kids or will vote in their best interest. But I refuse to vote out of fear. I will only be voting for people who (believably) say they will improve things somewhat.

Here lies JD. He drew as many comics as he could. @lostcity.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Even if the only change BC made was fixing up all the school buildings that would be huge. Even if the only thing we did was hire more EAs and pay them more than minimum wage, that would be amazing. Just give us more counsellor time, nothing else, and I’d vote for you.

It’s easy to report Alberta separatism as real if all you know about it is press releases from Danielle Smith and oil backed bigots, and you’ve never spent more than a day in Calgary, let alone Surrey or Prince Rupert.

To be fair, eastern Canada media has been coddling the perception that these are real grievances the whole time. A BIG part of that is how few people they have on staff from out west. They sometimes call it “western alienation” as if Alberta and BC are the same, because they’ve never left Ontario.
