Hey @adrianandshane.bsky.social , look what I found in a Lisbon gay bar on Monday.

Welp. All good things come to an end. Leaving Colombia with great memories, and a few new friends. I’d like to come back, and visit Cali. But for now, looking forward to being home in my own stuff and getting spring started with some new backyard work. :)

Never travelling in Latin America during Holy Week / Easter weekend again. The line up for the bus ticket counter is over 100 people long. 😳🤬

If you’re ever in Santa Marta, “Sublime Cocina Internacional” is not exaggerating. It does honour to its name. Please go, you won’t regret it.

Every single day in Santa Marta. Every. Single. Day.

Holy sweaty balls, Batman! It’s hot as fucking hell in Santa Marta! 🥵🫠

Seen in the ‘Museo Nacional de Colombia’. I personally don’t have intimate knowledge of a woman’s “aroma”, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want my coffee to taste like one. 🤪

Today, I improvised a self-guided tour. Medellin’s metro system (including tram and cable-cars) is entirely above ground. So you get a great view of the city. It was super cheap too. And the cable-cars provided stunning vistas.

Jeezus, there are so many hot Colombian men. 🤤🤤🤤

In and around Museo de Antioquia. Lots of Botero. :)

Well Chiquita Bar was a trip last night.

Cartagena is so very chill. Very cool city.

At the rate the conservatives are dropping candidates for past or present unsavoury / controversial comments, they’ll have a completely new roster by election day. 🤨

Do NOT trust grocery stores to correctly identify Canadian products. Always read the labels!

Trump’s talk about absorbing Canada and Greenland - beyond being Putin’s bitch and destroying NATO alliances - is a question of resources: water, lumber, minerals. But perhaps more importantly: control of arctic trade routes and OIL and GAS!!!

BC and Ontario pulling US booze from their shelves was all over the news, but I never heard a peep about Quebec’s SAQ. And then, today, I saw this, and it put a smile on my face. 😁

Anybody else feel like they're suddenly relating to the anxiety people living in late 1938, early 1939 must have felt? Moderate shift in the baddies & goodies, but the baseline angst feels real, palpable. I wish I still had my grandparents to ask them about how they felt right before the chaos.

Save the CBC 🇨🇦✌️ @savethecbc.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Did you know the CBC was started by a Conservative? In 1935, faced with the growing dominance of American media within Canada (sound familiar?) then Conservative Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, announced the creation of the CBC. He declared: “We will show the United States we are not an appendage.”

The recent White House clown show was clearly staged. I think most people with half a brain know this. But I haven’t seen any media really taking on this angle: it was 100% to provide some good content for Daddy Putin’s propaganda machine back home. It’s just so painfully obvious.

Well that didn’t take long. Prediction #1 from 4 days ago is coming to pass. I wonder when prediction #2 will be implemented.

Every day, a new story of how Trump is grabbing power for himself. PREDICTIONS: 1. He'll fire every military official that disagrees with him; 2. He'll gut election rules before midterms; 3. There will be nationwide protests; 4. He'll declare martial law to imprison "radical leftists". RIP USA

Had a great time last night in NYC with my cousin Chris. We saw Romeo + Juliet on Broadway, starring Kit Connor. I’m not a huge fan of Shakespeare, but it was an interesting take on a classic. And Kit is easy on the eyes… 🤤

I’ve been avoiding FB for a while already. But I go in now and again to see if friends post anything. Have y’all noticed the surprising number of AI generated posts now? And in the comments, it feels like conversations between bots. God i’m glad I’m in the process of ditching that dumpster fire. 🥴

Smh. CBC, now is not the time to “bring in the clowns”. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Everything Mango Mussolini does benefits Putin: destroying the US network of allies, reducing its international influence, distracting from what is going on in Ukraine, etc.

I found this "dumbed down" video from the CBC very useful, for those of us who aren't economists. I mean, in any case, we'll be fucked, and times will be hard. But at least now I kinda understand our predicament a bit better? Fuck Trump and everybody who likes him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKv...

Bluesky friends, I need you help. Does anybody I know in Montreal or Ottawa have the know-how and equipment to transfer an audio recording from a CD to a more modern electronic media that I could share with family by email?

Dear Bluesky, I’ve been a member for less than 12 hours, so naturally, I feel entitled to demand upgrades: 1) React buttons - just “♥️” it too limited. 2) ability to attach pics in private messages - this app is already full of smut. How is sending nudes via message not a thing already?

Wow. Switching from 16 years of FB use to Bsky is a bit of a learning curve. lol.
