it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

How are people always getting high quality stills or clips from tv/movies? I feel like I must have missed class the day we were taught this internet skill… can someone teach me please?

just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

If you've noticed a sharp rise in commercials promoting the Ontario government's success, the Auditor General has taken note as well. The Ford gov't has spent $103M on the ads, higher than any other gov't. #onpoli

I just finished A Man on the Inside tonight and it is such a lovely, touching show. As a millennial who lost their boomer mother this year, whose father is as quirky as those residents, the show spoke to me on so many levels. I adored it.

the beauty of Home Alone is that, unlike pretty much any other movie I loved when I was younger, I have not come to sympathize with the grown-ups one bit as an adult

Re: Canada Post strike. Had to ship a box of Xmas and bday gifts for my nieces, from ON to AB, so that they arrive prior to an early December bday. Went to the shipping hub at Staples and FedEx was the cheapest option at 80 freaking dollars!?

Apparently the TikTok kids are all discovering Imogen Heap at the moment and I am so excited for them. Her music totally captures living in the early aughts to me. That time period doesn’t receive the level of nostalgia it deserves in my opinion.

Watching the most recent ep of SILO, I can’t help but feel like the opening of the premiere episode was a stroke of brilliance. I feel haunted by it, and the implications of it, with everything in the Silo now that Juliette is gone. This show is just so good!

A bat got into my house this summer and with all of my shrieking and running around I didn’t get a good look at it. I’m pretty sure it was a little guy though and I’m almost certain he flew back outside because he couldn’t stand how annoying I was.

I tried the McRib when it was back in Canada earlier this year and hated it. What I think I was expecting was the weird pork/rib sandwich my highschool cafeteria sometimes served in the late 90’s. Now that shit SLAPPED.

Watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice tonight… curious what other people thought of it, because I kind of tuned out any dialogue when it first came out. I found it rushed and kind of underwhelming. Every conflict seemed to just resolve way too quickly/easily. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it.

A friend of mine is obsessed with this old guy who makes milkshakes, and she just sent me a video he made where the Canadian PM joined him. I stupidly looked at the comments. Y’all… we are so fucking cooked. The comments were so obsessive and aggressive and weird about it. It’s distressing to see.

I finally got around to watching Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar lastnight. It’s the most ridiculously delightful movie I’ve seen in a long time. I was genuinely laughing out loud throughout the entire thing and the ending was just perfect. I’m annoyed with myself for not watching it sooner.

An oldie but a goodie, worth repeating with Canada Post now on strike. Blablabla Christmas shopping… I get it, I am inconvenienced too, but we have to support union workers or we will start seeing our own employment rights slip away more than they already are.
