Rare visit here, so I can fangirl over @lukevburns.bsky.social who just made me snort with laughter. This is fabulous. Relentless. Dumb as a post. Glorious. Thank you. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/whe...

When I Invited All of You Over to Watch “The Big Game,” I Assumed You Knew I Was Talking about Human Chess

I don’t know why you’re all so upset. I’m sorry if there’s some “other event” that you were all more excited about that’s apparently also happening...

There is not enough coffee today. Not nearly enough.

Boards of Vancouver

Gorgeous grazing tables. Beautiful boards delivered to your door. Boards of Vancouver: better living through cheese and charcuterie.

When everything feels quite scary and stressful so you mentally retreat, remembering rest is an act of resistance, and curl up with your dog, a maple syrup-spiked hot chocolate & a Maeve Binchy (literally the most comforting books in the world.)

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

I’m not a f/t journalist anymore but I still give a shit about the correct use of words. Language is very important: it’s not an Elon Musk salute, it’s a Nazi salute. Let’s call a far right fuckhead, a far right fuckhead.

Fuck yeah, Teen Vogue!

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

I bought a new shirt.

There are currently 218 Republicans and 215 Democrats in the House. The next election is November 2026. If Dems take back the House, they will essentially make Trump a lame duck for the rest of his term. Just sayin.’

Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

Well, well, well... Looks like Trump's guest list of grifters is full and Premier Danielle Smith didn't make the cut. After weeks of undermining our nation Danielle has to take refuge at the CANADIAN EMBASSY to watch it all on TV. Surely there's a Starbucks with the screen on that she could use.

V happy with this grazing board for 12. Someone’s having a delightful birthday lunch right now! Sadly, my only order this week. January is HARD! I’m delivering all next weekend in Vancouver so… treat yourself! Order online or message me for a custom creation. boardsofvancouver.ca

So obsessed with an evening sweet treat of ricotta, a drizzle of maple syrup and sprinkle of smoked salt right now. Try it!

Anyone in #Vancouver fancy getting together to hang out in a nice licensed coffee shop one afternoon/early evening to do some #crafting? I used to craft with friends in the Similkameen. Would be nice to hang out, maybe meet new people & admire their projects while I work on my #crochet

Real talk. Starting a small business is hard. January is absolutely brutal. If you want to treat yourself (or someone you love!) and at the same time absolutely make my day, you know what to do. I deliver in #Vancouver and am very available for your orders this month. Order online or message me.

Here for this level of self-care.

Michelle Obama will not attend the inauguration of President-elect Trump, her office said in a statement on Tuesday. She also declined to attend the funeral of Jimmy Carter last week, which would have put her seated next to Trump. nyti.ms/3PB4ZX6

Slay, queen.

Duckworth: "He's already had to pay off a woman who accused him of sexual assault in order to keep his last job at Fox News. What is he gonna be willing to do to pay off the next accuser who might show up after he becomes secretary of defense and has access to the nuclear codes?"

Congratulations to President-elect Trump on receiving the first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle from the Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company, James Quincey

Fuck everyone who voted for this.

New York Times Opinion@nytopinion.nytimes.com · 2y ago

“President-elect Trump is widely expected to slash funding for women’s health organizations around the world,” writes the columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social. “The impact of any Trump cuts would go far, far beyond abortions, and would probably be devastating to millions of women and girls worldwide.”

Having an All The News is Crushing Me break. Have made my teenage self’s comfort food: jacket potato & cauliflower cheese. Deeply restorative.

Fuck her.

The singer Carrie Underwood said that she would perform next week at President-elect Trump’s inauguration. She will sing “America the Beautiful.”

100% this. A NY Mag subscription right now is 60% off. It's $1 for four weeks. Doing a piece like the Gaiman article takes an intense amount of time from a ton of people, and only with financial support can investigations like this continue to happen.

And Christ, another reminder of why real journalism - and funding for it - matters.

Continuing my Schitt’s Creek research: peeved once more that Johnny and Moira get called Mr and Mrs Rose by Patrick, Twyla and Stevie. Why aren’t they on first name terms?!

First grazing table of the year done. I am so very available for bookings…

(Re)Watching Schitt’s Creek (again) Patrick coming out. Weeping copiously. My heart is too full for this.

There’s my one order for the week…

Hey Bluesky folks. January is tough. Just one order for my business this week. If you wanted to treat yourself, or someone you love, why not make my day and order up some delicious #cheese and #charcuterie. I deliver in #Vancouver! boardsofvancouver.ca order online or DM me for a custom creation.

You fucking cowards

I feel like I recall Mark Carney doing a regular funny chatty slot on @bbcradio4 PM with Eddie Mair. Did I make this up!?

Finally got my ass to #CowDog and got the strawberry matcha. Absolutely gorgeous. Jammy. Grassy. Silky. Sooooo good. #Vancouver

Well, hummus friends. First try definitely needs some work. @anyaspethmann.bsky.social said to ‘cook the bejesus’ out of em. I did! They dissolved mostly into mush. But!! The few that were left I followed everyone’s advice and have made about 1/3 cup of amazing hummus!
