Amal Khalil was a devoted journalist who also rescued animals in southern Lebanon during Israel’s bombing campaign.

Israel killed her.

@colbycosh OK, a quibble maybe, but I spied this fellow in Wascana Lake, Regina, last spring.

Oof. Price of oil zoomed up to ~ $115 a barrel tonight. It was half that in early January. And the stock markets where it’s Monday already are taking a nosedive. Tomorrow should be something else.

Aw rats. RIP to a favourite author who excelled writing sci-fi, horror and various other genres. Hyperion is amazing, but also terrific is Ilium, Carrion Comfort and The Terror. https://t.co/mQ3dDgKEVe

Why are so many of the headlines today using “captured” without quotation marks? Corrupt ruler or not, surely what happened to the Venezuelan president was a “kidnapping.”

My prediction for most impactful new tech of 2026? Not generative AI per se, but those new earbuds that translate languages on the fly. Sounds like the high-end ones work quite well. This could profoundly change not just tourism but business, education & many other activities.

@billdinYEG @cibc Too late! I’ve already scissored it into tiny plastic shards

[Saskoko @saskoko]

Hey @cibc pick up the phone please. Been trying to cancel my credit card for weeks. This time I’ve been on hold for more than 50 minutes

[Saskoko @saskoko]

@cibc Update to update: At the 96 minute mark, @cibc finally picked up and were able to help me. Thanks?

[Saskoko @saskoko]

Update: @cibc I’m still on hold. It’s been more than 70 minutes now

Fine interview (CBC Q’s Tom Power) with Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta https://t.co/Vv3kKUt8RN

Terrible news about Rob Reiner! Liked all his main movies, but always had a particular soft spot for The Sure Thing, his charming and occasionally raunchy 1985 romantic comedy. Several laugh out loud moments and great chemistry between John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga.

Went to a Regina movie theatre for the Grey Cup game. Great fun hanging out with a boisterous crowd watching our Saskatchewan Roughriders win! Here’s the last few seconds …

On this day in 1955, Jean Béliveau scored three goals on Terry Sawchuk in 44 seconds in a single powerplay. Beliveau's hat trick led the NHL to adopt a rule that ended powerplays when the team with the extra player scored. Only Montreal voted against the rule change.

Am I wrong, or did young Roy Orbison resemble a certain Canadian politician from this era?

My favourite superhero artist Gene Colan once drew Archie? I’m flabbergasted

[Revd. BlueCat @BlueCat67515313]

@ManFirestorm @HelloBerlin3 Look at this page, for example.
Pure Archie style drawing, but look at the shape and folds on Archie's clothes in the first panel- pure Gene Colan!
Sounds like a strange combination of styles, but Gene The Dean was so good that it works!
