murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Ours is earlier because we have so more to be thankful for, so we need to start sooner or we won't get done before the Christmas holidays. 180
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 20/09/2026UPS and other courier companies were using pedi-delivery vehicles in the city centre when I was there in 2019, like a cross between a pedicab and a cube van. Probably e-assist now. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 20/09/2026@thewaroncars.bsky.social - seems an appropriate choice of book to take on a 3-week cycling tour of SW England. Greetings from sunny Bristol, and thanks for some good reading. 011
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Is there a website or something where I can find out how to log in to the website I need to log into in order to log into the website I need to log into? 'Cause there's another site I need to log into, but it won't admit me until I log into another website to confirm that I'm allowed to log into it. 000

murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I had a Smart car for a decade, hauled all kinds of things around. I did a Costco run once, and a small crowd gathered to watch - and then applaud - as I packed two full carts into that car. Had a trailer hitch for larger loads. I once delivered a 17' canoe to a customer, strapped to the roof. 020
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 12/09/2026So, do the resources allocated to the involuntary treatment system end up *increasing* the wait times for the more effective voluntary treatment? Never mind. I think I already know the answer... 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Sadly, no matter how demonstrably stupid that statement / question was, there are far too many people who will agree with it, and vote for her because of it. 010
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Well, sure, but what can ew do about it? I mean, it's a car, so... Some countries have sacred cows roaming around, getting in everybody's way, causing property damage and injuries, even deaths, and there's nothing you can do because they're sacred cows. We have sacred cars. 100
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Well, they are NASCAR fans, after all, where the crashes are the whole point. Basically, they fail to distinguish between "transportation" and "entertainment." It's ALL entertainment to them. 180
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I remember them visiting Vernon. My father was the only pediatrician in town, and accompanied them to the hospital. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Yes, he knows. But he also knows that his supporters either don't know or don't care, and that's who he's playing to here. 001
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 05/09/2026He would probably describe himself as "the greatest useful idiot. People are saying they've never seen an idiot as useful as me. They can't believe how useful an idiot I am." And for once, he'd be right. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 05/09/2026If he was a Russian asset, what exactly would he be doing different? I can't think of anything, except perhaps making some effort not to be quite so obvious about it. That's the part that convinces me he isn't, because it's so transparent. So he's not an asset, just the world's most useful idiot. 100

murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 31/08/2026They'd be fine with the machine guns - Second Amendment and all that. But bikes? Those aren't even mentioned in the Constitution. 020
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Naahh, it's pronounced "Lea and Perrins" - just like it's spelled. 130
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 31/08/2026For sure. I like that it's a quick and simple way to lay out different ideas to get a sense of what they would look like. And it's also a quick and simple way to illustrate to decision-makers just exactly how useless paint is. Win-win :-) 020
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 30/08/2026And they drive right over it. Apparently duct tape isn't infrastructure, either. 160
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The cruelty is the whole point with these people. Not cruelty as an unavoidable consequence: cruelty for cruelty's sake. 041
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 30/08/2026You need to do a "Difficult and Unreasonable" tshirt. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 27/08/2026There's a place for cars, too. But if they're being used carelessly - and 1.5 million annual deaths worldwide shows that yes, they are - there needs to be change. Maybe some kind of buy-back program to get them off the streets. 120
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 27/08/2026And the largest one is called Lake Obama. That's gotta sting. 030
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'd love to see Mark Carney announce that Canada is changing the name of Superior to Lake Obama. 040
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 27/08/2026@parkingreform.org I've tried a few times to find examples of cities/towns that have repealed their parking mandates and then later reinstated them. I can't find any. Do you know of any? Any at all? 020
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This list includes Shark Fins. Why on Earth are we tariffing shark fins? I thought that whole trade was illegal? We don't tariff ivory at the border - we seize it and destroy it. 010
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 26/08/2026It's so bizarre, this man who has to have his name on absolutely everything, even going so far as to put his name on a memorial to a murder victim. That's got to be in the DSM somewhere, right? And if it isn't, it soon will be, and I know whose name they'll put on it. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 25/08/2026There's a building repair company around here whose trucks also give me a bit of a laugh: "Cromwell Restorations" 030
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 25/08/2026If he was a Russian agent, he wouldn't be so obvious about it. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Awesome. May you enjoy Scotland as much as I did. One suggestion: there is a food truck (I think it's actually a shipping container?) on the docks in Oban that serves langoustines (think jumbo prawns but better) that apparently is not to be missed. I have it on my to-do list for next spring. 110
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/20261 and 2 are both absolute, hard-line deal-breakers, and would be for any country, not just Canada. I'm convinced the administration decided they didn't want a deal so they tossed in a handful of poison pills knowing we would have to walk away. If so, fuck'em. In fact, fuck'em regardless. 061
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/2026And you're right to do so. But I'm also perfectly happy to let the people of Gander represent all of us if it simplifies the delivery of the message. They did such an amazing job they deserve the accolades. 031
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Read it again, slowly, and ALL the way through. 120
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Vancouver took people in also, but the numbers were a blip in a metropolitan population of 2.5 or 3 million, and the vast majority scarcely even noticed the influx. In Gander, absolutely everybody was directly involved. 2/2 140
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/2026That's true, but the situation in Gander was unique. The population increased 50% in a few hours, with no warning. It really was an extraordinary response to an extraordinary circumstance, and it is deservedly spotlighted. 1/2 362
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Where in Scotland you headed? Best vacation of my life was a 4-week cycling trip there a few years back. Probably spending a few days in Edinburgh late-September, and planning another cycling trip for spring - Outer Hebrides / Skye / Glen Coe... 100
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I submitted my information a few days ago. ETA was approved in seconds. 110
Reposted by @murraysovereign.bsky.socialCanadian History Ehx @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10 13977587
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Came here to say exactly this. We're done. Sooo F'ing done. 000
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I might have to start attending sporting events, solely for the purpose of booing the US anthem and then leaving. 'Cause I don't really care about the sports that much, but booing the US anthem is something I think I could really get behind. 010
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I dunno 'bout that. Eastern Washington is pretty MAGAty - might have to amputate that part first, and then we can talk. Maybe. 011

murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Doesn't the 25th Amendment require both the VP and a majority of the cabinet? Can't imagine that happening. 010
murraysovereign.bsky.social @murraysovereign.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Not afraid so much as simply refusing. I've been planning flights for a couple of trips to Europe this fall and next spring, and I won't consider any flights that involve even a "touch-and-go" stop at any US airport. I just do not want to be there. 0152
