BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

Single busiest day since December 2025, despite Bad Bunny sports thing. Working late to recent PSB boot, logging hundreds of new book sales. Thanks to everyone who came for a wander on Main Street or Commercial Drive in this unseasonable springtime.

The Seahawks are the masters of cultural *appreciation* instead of appropriation, parody, or stereotyping. Universally beloved in Indian country over this entire region.

reading this post is kind of like watching a drone shot of an avalanche slowly but unstoppably consume a mountain chalet
ran into a friend at a cafe who mentioned his wife is having an emotional affair with chatgpt, missed that the "chat model was much hornier last spring," and that they're getting divorced but her chat & his chat negotiated the terms of the divorce over several weeks. They were together for 18 yrs.
most cafe conversations blend into the background for me, but as soon as a man starts the “do you use ChatGPT? I’ve started using it for…” conversation within a 10 table radius, I feel my brain short circuiting

Just to reassure everybody - the city didn't actually lose any money, because provincial laws prevent municipalities from making risky investments like Bitcoin.

Could someone ask Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim how much money the city just lost?

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

On Saturday, February 28th, 2026, I'm going to do the 5 km walk to raise money for the Ann Davis Transition Society.
I'm part of a team, the Chillywalkers. We'd love it if you could spare some money for us! If you donate $20 or more, you'll get a tax receipt.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
