This sort of take is infuriating. Why don't we see headlines like "Canadian Armed Forces reports $9.8 billion loss in second quarter of 2026?" The postal service is a SERVICE. It didn't lose money, it spent money to provide a valued service. www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/202...
Canada Post reports $277M pre-tax loss in second quarter
OTTAWA - Canada Post says it lost $277 million before taxes in the second quarter of the year, marking an improvement from the same three-month period a year ago.

in memory of peter cullen let's remember one of his best line reads
Lotta people dunking on this but in its defense this is very authentic to the experience of trying to pick up a new Marvel comic in the 80s/90s and having the comic store guy slap it out of your hands and assign you 16 collected volumes you'll have to read first to know wtf is happening
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 6d agoNope.
Peter Cullen not becoming Optimus until he was 43 is actually kinda slightly inspiring because yeah you'll get older but that doesn't mean you won't have more chances to do something that motivates millions
Statement from his family making me sob, rest in peace 💔

"Above all, do not lament my absence. For in my spark, I know that this is not the end, but merely a new beginning. Simply put, another transformation." -Optimus Prime's closing words (voiced by Peter Cullen) of the Transformers: Prime film and the whole series www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYyo...

Let's be real here: "Be strong enough to be gentle" is an all-timer of a mantra that many more people should take heed of
Sixo | Transformers@sixotf.bsky.social · 6d agoI'm deeply saddened to read of Peter Cullen passing Like many of my generation (& countless since), his Optimus Prime *was* my childhood, showcasing a warmth beyond just being a battle-hardened hero that meant everything to me Thank you for all you gave us, Peter RIP
I hope this horrible week teaches us one thing: you will be remembered and loved infinitely more for moments of kindness, friendship, and joy than for power, dominance, or bullying. you have the choice for what sort of life you want to live. make the right one.
Lessons I will take from Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen: Be generous. Be bold. Be gentle. ❤️💛🧡💚💙💜
Peter Cullen, best known for voicing Optimus Prime in both the original Transformers animated series and the live-action films, has died at the age of 85.
-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.
If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
Craig Calcaterra@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 7d agoRIP to a motherfucking icon.
Since we’re considering trade reprisals — I wrote last year about how easy it would be for Canada to make toilet paper completely unavailable to Americans. It could be done without any tariffs or embargoes. It may be happening already. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
