The dramatic #canucks roster turnover since the 2024 playoffs sure is something. We know Hronek isn't leaving, and I suspect they won't find a partner for Brock or Petey.

Damn, I wish I'd known. Already read the book.
That's because #KenSim is a gutless coward.
I hope he and ABC get absolutely destroyed in the municipal election this fall.
Sorry Gary, but it's completely accurate, and it's not a "portrayal" at all, but what actually happened. share.google/fSUAJnkmsvTk...
LOL, for Shandy it would definitely be #4.

Reduced, revised, and republished March 1, 2026. This documents the crash with a careless driver, while cycling, that nearly took my life, with a recovery timeline.
I submitted the first part, sans timeline, as a 2500-word piece of nonfiction writing.

So #Vancouver mayor Ken Sim thanked councillor Zhou for taking responsibility for his unsubstantiated claim that some opposition councillors were drug users and dealers.
He neglected to mention that Zhou was repeating unsubstantiated claims Sim made about @seanorr.bsky.social previously.

RIP Jeff. It's impossible to calculate how many lives he had a positive influence on, or how many people who thought they couldn't do distance running, completed a marathon using his walk/run method.
The Android Bluesky app is really buggy. Various feeds, including your personal profile page, freeze (even after quitting and restarting the app, my profile currently won't scroll), it's not always easy to share media or links, and it's generally pretty crappy overall.
I get why CBC is broadcasting Trump 's State of the Union address, but since it's probably more than 2 hours long, why on earth do they feel compelled to do an hour-long pre-show? Apparently they don't think we're subjected to enough of Cheeto Mussolini as it is.
OMFG. From the biggest numpty on Vancouver council ...
Sim:" We're going to make sure there's no tax increase this year."
Sim's council: "Please help us as we pass the hat for a worthy cause, because we're so busy doing populist taxation, we don't have the tax base to support our infrastructure."
I bet that was a close contest, with many qualified people vying for the job.

We have a small portable AC unit that we usually put in our bedroom when we're sleeping. Our place will probably be pretty cool in the summer, but that's still to be determined, depending on what kind of summer we have, of course.
The main floor one is rated for about 600 sf and the upstairs ones about 300 each.
We have three Honeywell purifiers with HEPA filtration and charcoal pre-filters, and the large one on the main floor has a VOC indicator. Very glad we have them as I wouldn't want to breathe in the dirt I see when we change the filters.
What a fucking disgrace this woman is. Canada is not a right-wing country in spite of how much she wishes it was.

A little sleepy but our fan attire is on point, and Bailey's is in our coffee.

I literally just said that.
Hot on the heels of deleting my Instagram account, I've done the same to Facebook after being off it much longer than IG. The only Meta account I still have is WhatsApp and we use that for cross-platform (iOS / Android) family chats. I'm OK with limiting my exposure to that.

I assumed it was only a matter of time before AI killed someone, but I didn't think it would be the humans behind the technology that would be to blame.
If the info OpenAI had was enough to ban the Tumbler Ridge shooter, they should have gone to authorities.

Perhaps it's time to find another vocation.
Finally ditched Zwift, which cost me and my wife $560 CDN / yr because they refuse to offer family plans.
Rouvy is more enjoyable, better looking, and respects their customers by offering family plans. Ends up costing about 3/5 as much.
I thought I would try Instagram again after leaving the platform some years ago. I lasted less than a week before the ads and slop were too much. I will never understand how people put up with the shit you have to wade through, all to see mostly influencer / AI garbage. Real photography only thanks.
I had my CT a couple months ago, so π€ ...
When I lost my spleen I had nearly been killed due to several life-threatening injuries, because of a careless driver. Silly me thinking that might have made me a higher priority for the hernia repair.
It shouldnβt just be Ukraine withdrawing from Paralympics. Everyone should withdraw.
My diagnosis came from the surgeon who will be doing the procedure, so you'd think it would be quicker than a year. That surgeon does 90% of all hernias within 55 weeks, but since I have not even been notified of a date, I can't imagine it's going to happen within the next 3 weeks.
It's been exactly a year since I had the hernia caused by my splenectomy diagnosed. Just in case you want to know what the waiting list for "elective" surgery is like on the island. Nothing about the impact it's had on me makes it "elective" in my mind, but it isn't life threatening so ....
