Just put my ballot in the mail. FTR I voted NO on both plebiscite questions then didn’t seal it with my ballot so who’s the idiot now (it’s still Ken Sim).

There’s still time to rethink everything that I have packed.

If I can just get through today I don't have to be back in the office until October 19.

First Half general public registration opened 5 minutes ago. Curious how long it takes to sell out this year.

If you’re driving around to protest gas prices I assume it because you think they’re too low.

The entire executive leadership of my (pretty political) organization has been out of the country for over a week so "What'd I miss?" Monday is going to be fun.

Ahem, Mr. multimedia journalist knew exactly what he was doing framing that concert poster in his webcam.

Slow realization that I'm going to hear "cleaning up the mess left by Eby" for the entire remainder of the 2020s.

The reason the dash is a sign of AI is because LLMs were obviously trained off my LiveJournal. Also why they're always wrong, probably.

Shocked to hear Andrew Weaver is running as a conservative. Shocked, I tell you.

One of the worst parts (there are many) of this stupid provincial election is all the conservatives turning up to 11 the lie that they’re somehow fiscally responsible.

Back on my thing of grabbing some crime noir novels from our annual vacation destination. Paul Cleave and Michael Bennett. Ok let’s get go.

I have no idea who is going to be premier after October 24 but something in the wind tells me it’s not going to be David Eby.

todd nickel @toddnickel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Okay but what if it's David Eby resigning.

I don't get how the municipal and provincial elections concurrently is confusing. Dumb, sure. But confusing? Come on.

People who have been to Hong Kong, if you had 4-ish hours in Hong Kong what would you do? Asking for me and SC in a couple weeks.

New thing to think about while dodging unleashed dogs while out on my long run.

I guess it's somewhat comforting to know that AI will solve the climate crisis probably by winning the race towards a mass extinction event.

Every candidate for Vancouver Park Board should have to answer if they support locking public washrooms from dusk until dawn.

I listened to this yesterday and was nodding my busted noggin along nearly the whole time. I am alive because I was wearing a helmet but *obviously* wearing a helmet didn't prevent the dumb fuck in a truck from being a dumb fuck.

So we've gone from a guy nobody knows with some great ideas to a guy everybody knows without a platform.

I have never been hit by a driver cycling without a helmet and I do it all the time. I was wearing a helmet when I was hit by a driver and it probably saved my life. Understanding the hierarchy of controls should be the basic entry required to engage in this conversation. (I haven’t listened yet)

I feel like I missed summer. As in didn't notice. Not some forlorn longing nonsense. Maybe because it got unusually hot in early May then didn't again? This summer was weird.

I know I’m late to the party but trying to book a BC Parks day pass feels like a Kafka novel.

Every Friday I ride from the West End up Grouse and back home except today. Of course except today. And none of you have video of the water main at Marine and Capilano. What a stupid day.

Pretty soon the official opposition party in B.C. is going to be the Independent Party.

I've never been to Toronto and the only time I ever hear anything about Toronto it's some idiot thing happening there that makes me never want to go.

"Sony further asserts that one cannot “own” a digital copy of a game because, as it’s a digital file rather than physical media ... it cannot be possessed by any one individual." Ok so how can you steal something that cannot be possessed.

In case you're wondering Canada shares a maritime border with France and a land border with Denmark.
