blasphemoustomes.com/2026/10/07/d... A creepy, imaginative tale about the worst kind of imaginary friend. It manages to explore the ambiguity between mental illness and demonic possession without feeling trite or derivative. Even so, it falls short of being great.

Made some birria. It turned out… just okay? Would have been better as barbacoa. But still! Dipping is always fun.

Three toasty golden corn tortillas in a glossy, black cast iron pan. They have been folded into half-moons. Crispy fried cheese and shreds of brown braised beef peek out the edges.

Three golden brown corn tortillas, folded in half, stuffed with braised beef and cheese and then fried, sit upon a white plate. Their surfaces are flecked with chopped white onion and bright green flecks of cilantro. Beside them sits a small white porcelain coffee cup. The cup is filled with dark, reddish-brown birria consommé. More white onion and cilantro lie on top of the broth. The plate of food looks good as hell.

The forecast today is “yellow”

A photograph of a yellow-grey lake and sky. The bottom left shows a still, grey lake. Dark trees line the far shore. Up the left of the photo is the spikey silhouette of a tall pine tree, with a small dock extending into the water at its base. The rest of the photos is an uncanny amber-coloured sky. It looks dull and smokey from forest fire smoke.

With the 30th anniversary of Canada’s Indigenous Peoples Day happening this weekend, let’s take a look at several ways that the Carney government is undermining the rights and well being of Canada’s indigenous peoples and undoing progress on reconciliation rather than advancing it. 🧵1/

An image of Canadian prime minister Mark Carney meeting with indigenous chiefs wearing full feathered headresses, with overlying text: Mark Carney is undoing progress on reconciliation and indigenous rights as consistently as he's undoing progress on the climate and environmental rights."

Toronto City Council changes a lightbulb
Cheng: We should be looking into the latest Al-powered lightbulb changing technology, and refining our lightbulb strategy by applying Lean Six Sigma best practices.
Bradford: I find it interesting that now, in an election year, the mayor wants to talk about changing lightbulbs instead of changing street names. Don't be fooled, this is nothing more than a cheap ploy to win votes from a mayor who's more interested in campaigning for reelection than she is in governing. I'm Brad Bradford and I approve this message.
Saxe: I have a motion here for staff to report by Q3 2029 on the impact of lightbulb outages and how to align lightbulb changing with our climate strategy.
Nunziata: Clarifications on the motion only, please.
Holyday: [waving around a lightbulb he brought to councill What message does this send our children? That you can just flip a switch and a light comes on? That's not how the world works.
Chow: When I first moved to Toronto with my family, we lived in a small room that had a lightbulb. At night my mom would turn it off, which made the room dark, then in the morning she'd turn it on again, which made the room light. So believe me when I say that I truly understand the role lightbulbs play in our city.
Pasternak: The lightbulb is antisemitic.
Perks: I would like to remind my colleagues that the decision to change the lightbulb was already made last year.
