Stagehand, voracious reader, enthusiastic skeptic, currently broken and awaiting replacement parts. Usually wrong.

I’m not going to name names here but Christ alive the correct response to a thread like this as a straight guy is not to DM me, the woman with “lesbian” in her bio, to proposition me for a threesome with you and your wife.

My five-month experiment in regularly using Feeld to try to have casual sex in various configurations has concluded. After five months, dozens of matches, and a large number of dates, I had sex with people from Feeld: 0 times.

BC Hydro is buying Island Generation, the 275-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant in Campbell River currently owned by Capital Power BC Hydro recently announced plans to renew the plant's generation contract, despite regulations requiring fossil fuels be phased out of the grid #bcpoli

Remember as your eyes burn from the smoke today, Ken Sim and ABC voted to allow fracked gas in new builds, cancelled $8 million in climate retrofit grants; voted against funding for cooling kits for people in the Downtown Eastside; and got rid of the climate justice charter.

This is genuinely astonishing: a piece by the Globe and Mail’s editorial board lamenting the “new normal” of wildfires and summer smoke and no mention whatsoever of a) climate change, or b) the burning of fossil fuels that causes it. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Globe editorial: A summer season of fire, smoke, ashes and fear

The carefree feeling of summers past has been incinerated as wildfires rage across the country

A friend of mine from back in my misspent youth just tracked me down and sent me a photo of when I was a salty dog!Here's me in the Gibraltar marina painting the deck of the boat I was living on at the time. I didn't have any photos from this time in my life... until now! Age ~20

Baby me painting the deck of a ship, covered in paint and sand, holding a paint roller and happily flipping off the person taking the photo

I found out that my friends grandfather was able to avoid the WW2 draft by telling them he was an engineer working on a military project and it was a pogo stick with a gun mounted on it and they bought it. There are actual designs and plans of the thing. I'm going to write the hell out of this story

This is the tamest, most sanitized version of the shift taking place in the party (and that has been going on for several years now). Absolutely nothing about sucking up to the far-right, MAGA adherents, or winking at authoritarian populism. No, it's just about online influencers. Come on.

Talk of Conservative 'infighting' misses the bigger story: the party is messily reinventing itself

For one longtime Tory, it’s another sign that the ground beneath his party’s intellectual movement is shifting violently.
