Ton, it's a game called Disco Elysium. You're a cop trying to figure out who the hell he is. There's also a kid named Cuno who's a real piece of work

Oh, you have 40k followers on Instagram? Meta is blocking all Canadian news, sorry.

Oh, you have 30k on twitter? It was bought by a 50 year old aspiring pro gamer.

Oh, you have 20k on tiktok? Sorry, they're selling the US version to some creep.

Oh, you have 9k on bluesky? Sorry, (insert reason)

Given the current landscape of every platform being bad, ive been thinking a lot about how social media could be better used by journalists.

I dont know exactly how im going to change things up but relying on one or two platforms that can disappear whenever for whatever reason can't continue.

I dont know if this makes total sense as a reply to my post

Trump has absolutely NO CLUE as to what's happening ANYWHERE that hasn't been "presented" to him by his sycophants. And THEY only provide Trump what HE WANTS.

No, I have wing doors and I drink gas why is this so hard for people

I have a number of questions, including "where did he get those cool pants?" and "what the hell?"

Mathieu Venne uploaded video which he alleges shows "the truth about the story of this morning"

The video shows Venne singing along to U2 when Derksen approaches and threatens to "smash that fucking camera." Venne replies: "go ahead, I will smash you so bad, le," at which point a fight breaks out

Is there an online course i can take to learn how to do this

Like that 80s cartoon where the kid turns into a car?

a man in a red sweater is holding a tire in his hands in front of a wall .

Thats right

Bruce Brews @bruce-brews.bsky.social · 1d

So... expensive to maintain, impractical, loud, the opposite of family-friendly, and needing constant pampering.

Is that about right?

I can't imagine going back there to post. Also - right now I'd rather not be on any platform.

Job Interviewer: Please describe yourself as a worker

Me: yeah I guess I'd say I'm like if a cool car was a guy

Job Interviewer: holy shit

My friend Abdul said I'm more like a 2001 Honda civic but jokes on him because that is a cool car

Yeah, I've already had some people that care about me be like, "Maybe just stop posting for a bit."

It's something to think about but maybe I should just change how I interact on the internet. I dont think I can be a poster the way I was in my 20s.

Thanks for the kind words. Been a weird few days

Eric "The Monster Mash is about worker solidarity" Wickham @ericwickham.ca · 2d

I was genuinely unaware about how common this sort of thing is.

Eric "The Monster Mash is about worker solidarity" Wickham @ericwickham.ca · 2d

I hate how many people have said this to me, and I'm sorry you know what this is like.

Eric "The Monster Mash is about worker solidarity" Wickham @ericwickham.ca · 2d

I don't know if this post encouraged this person to send me a series of emails ending at 4am last night, but since I'm fairly confident they'll be reading this at some point I'm going to be very clear.

Do not contact me. Not on social media, email or anywhere else. Leave me alone.

The thing they don't tell you about having a stalker is just how embarrassing it is

Nice

I ate outside twice.

A small cutting board with slices of caramelized onion cheddar, toasted sourdough, candied pickled jalapenos on a makeshift table covered in a plaid tablecloth, with the sloping green hill of Riverdale park East, tree line, and the city of Toronto downtown skyline with the sun setting behind a skyscraper in the northwest of the photo

A plate of fries and a beautiful salad topped with gooey egg on a rustic wooden table outside in the sun. It's from the Wren. East end = best end 😏
