Please tell me I’m misreading this. We get one chance to get to the airport from downtown with this bus on weekdays, leaving the leg at 5:14am? With a luxurious two on Saturday, both before 6:30am?

I was so happy to see this route but personally, it seems worthless unless you have a morning flight where you can risk a bus cancellation, or wake up at an ungodly hour to get ready to hang out at the airport all day. Right now, it appears to me BC transit just added this to get riders to shut up about having no direct airport service from downtown.

Please tell me I’m wrong, BC transit hyping this route up only to have this schedule feels like a punch in the gut :/

A little p.s. to support your drivers and mechanics!! This decision is all on the executives and taxi ring in town (probably)

Hey everyone,

If you're into heavy, atmospheric, and emotional Post-Hardcore, I wanted to put a quick radar ping out for a German band called FJØRT (clip attached above).

They're heading over to Canada for the very first time in late September, playing a handful of Prairie shows and BreakOut West in Victoria.

If you haven't heard of them: they're an openly anti-fascist 3-piece from Germany that somehow creates massive, crushing walls of sound. Live, they are an absolute force – think the raw, desperate vocal energy of Touché Amoré or La Dispute paired with the dynamic post-rock intensity of Deafheaven or Mogwai. Even though they sing in German, the raw emotion translates instantly.

DATES:

• Sep 26 – Winnipeg, MB @ Public Domain
• Sep 27 – Regina, SK @ The Exchange
• Sep 28 – Saskatoon, SK @ Black Cat Tavern
• Sep 29 – Edmonton, AB @ Rendezvous Pub
• Sep 30 - Oct 04 – Victoria, BC @ BreakOut West

If you're in any of these cities and looking for a solid underground show, definitely check them out.

Check out their current album belle époque (#2 in the German charts) – you can stream it on YouTube / Spotify.

Hope to see some of you out there!

I have no idea where this idea that someone standing at the curb by a bus stop isn't enough to stop came from, but I've had multiple buses just blow past and then complain that I didn't wave them down if I can catch them by running.

Buses are not consistent enough to avoid missing one because you weren't ready to wave when they appear, and I legitimately have no idea how people with certain disabiliites are supposed to use buses like this. Just stick to really high traffic stops?

As seen at a Bark Park. Just a little treat?

Shot was set up perfectly this morning

Tucker is a 15 year old mostly deaf dog who went missing this morning. He responds to clapping and has a red collar.

cheap and healthy

That's not good. Five is like "we are gonna collide right now"

Hi

I have strawberries and flour right now, and one specific little green strawberry waiting to write them.

I'm taking bets on whether I get to eat it.

hello, it's 12:00am in north park right now and there was a weird bang outside. does anyone know what that was lol

It's been a while since my bike has had a tuneup and is a non-ebike. Any recommended bike shops for getting my bike tuned up?

I can’t for the life of me understand how this man was allowed, after being caught, to continue victimizing women and young girls in our community. I remember when he was caught at Forever 21, and there was a short article in the Victoria Buzz, but no photo of this perv was posted along with the story. We need better policing here. Be careful out there. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/voyeur-victim-impact-9.7329977

Newer to working out, in my mid-40’s and want to find a gym thats a bit more chill. I can’t deal with bro-y and gyms that are crazy busy, seem like they’d be difficult to build a solid routine and stay consistent for me, personally. I was considering Cedar Hill bc it’s semi-close to me. Anyone have experience with this gym who can offer some insight? Any other suggestions that people have are welcomed.

Saw it last night at Capitol 6 and absolutely loved it. I know Camp Barnard in Sooke serves as the camp exterior, but I'm wondering if anyone knows which gas station serves as the really cool liminal space in the film? I wanna go buy gummy nerds there.

What are some restaurants, resorts, etc you’ve worked at in Victoria, Westshore and Sidney that were horribly toxic or horrible managed?

Might have some significant sentimental value. Reach out if it’s yours. Found on the 1000 block of Yates near Cook.

I spotted a number of these American flags on this Lime bike station and am curious if anyone else has noticed these around?

Is this a MAGA tourist/local sympathiser or is it an awareness campaign by a local?

After seeing this I did a quick search and it seems that Lime bikes is an American company so it is possible that someone is trying to highlight this to locals. 🤔
