Fucking hell yeah dogg.

Can’t imagine a more incorrect way to look at this specific piece of media.

What the fuck is up with these insane sickos? This shit is maniacal. First offence punishable by up to a year in jail? Little is a perfect name for this small-minded fascist bigot. Eat shit, Brad! www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

The milquetoast speaker who has almost never actually enforced a rule has suddenly realized that meekly asking people to behave and saying he considers them all his friends and they should want to behave (a thing that actually happened recently) hasn’t been impactful? I for one am shocked.

Oh heck yeah my council doggs it’s on

Can't recommend this newsletter enough! I add to my to-read list every time she puts out a newsletter, often multiple items. She has great taste! I try to read more female and non-binary authors; my local book store has a "weird girl lit" section, and I've read most of it, largely thanks to Maris.

I understand they're the higher order of government and there's nobody else who can do it...but it seems conflict-y to me to have the province place someone on the Sherwood Council when they're actively invested in an enormous business venture happening there. www.ctvnews.ca/regina/artic...

I've watched 'Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie' three times in three days and I don't see me slowing down any time soon. This this is nothing short of a miracle!

Cancel that AI data centre right now. Something is squirrelly! www.cjme.com/2026/03/20/t...

Saskatchewan's Minister for Pretending Coal is a Good Thing While Never Actually Saying the Word Coal and Instead Using The Term 'Legacy Thermal Generation' As If We Don't All Know What That Means is also attempting to burn up my eyeballs with today's outfit.

Of course our government, always desperate to be seen as cutting edge and "innovative," would be all-in on a data centre nobody in this province is asking for. "But it will be the biggest of its kind in Canada!" Cool! We can brag about making the biggest mistake! www.saskatchewan.ca/government/n...

It's a great big world and there's nothing out there but problems, woo hoo. www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

I think they abbreviated the wrong word on the new keyboard.

I've never seen one of these AI chuds argue in favour of this dipshit technology effectively. Everything they say works better as an argument against it. They're all so inarticulate! What does "humanity's train" mean? You know what happens when you disrupt a train? It derails and people die.

I'm ready to say I'm disappointed in Radons! Learn about a job before you get it - it wouldn't have been hard to know that the library discussion has been going for my entire adult life. Yeesh.

The Saskatchewan government's policy positions seem to be roughly as nuanced as Donald Trump's "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen." I wonder how rural constituents, the bloc that keeps this party in power, feel about being so thoroughly condescended to. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Incredible. Drain the swamp indeed.

Gosh, I never get tired of hearing my government pat itself on the back for 'embracing innovation' at the same time they're fighting the federal government tooth and nail to keep running goddamn coal power plants.

Ah yes, the AI we are constantly told is inevitable and we should be embracing turns its eye towards the eradication of humans and is incredibly successful. Cool. So which system suggested targeting a girls school and is responsible for killing dozens of children?

This is a wonderful, enormous story worth your time. www.cjme.com/2026/02/26/t...

Tasmanian single malt! So good!

Thrilling to see Canadians continue avoiding the US, but the idea it's the result of the 51st state threat and tariffs feels overstated. To me, the prospect of potentially encountering insane state-sponsored violence or border issues is much more of a deterrent! www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

He is simply not a serious man!

…good?

Yup, there’s no need to understand the job you have before you get the job. It’s just so hard to learn independently in this modern age where information is impossible to come by!!

That’s right, most people wait until they have a job to learn what it’s about and how to be good at it. Very much normal behaviour.

“You’re going to cover my ass for me in case I decide to run again, right?” (He won’t)

gotta say AI has been great for one thing which is convincing me to finally unsubscribe from all those longstanding mailing lists as soon as they start spamming me about their brand new AI features

No Councillor worth their salt would ever need to ask this question. Do your goddamn homework!

Heroic lifting by the passive voice there with “there was a decision.” It cannot be overstated how enormously disruptive (and of course, consultation-free) was the unilateral change made by the province around how school sites were selected and funded.

SCOOP: Bell Canada is planning to build an artificial intelligence data centre near Regina. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I haven’t paid attention in a minute but given the history of the RM of Sherwood, I am not at all surprised there are enough clout- and cash-chasing idiots out there to rubber stamp this entry into the phony-ass digital Ponzi scheme bubble-ass pipe dream that is AI. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

HOW ABOUT YOU GET FUCKED BELL CANADA AND EVERYONE ELSE GREEDY AND SHORT-SIGHTED ENOUGH TO ENDORSE THIS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why, when I sing along to “Idioteque,” do I ALWAYS do the ascending half of the chorus melody?

I put on my Dismemberment Plan mix for my 13 year-old and she was not totally psyched at first. “I feel like it’s going to give me a seizure.” Which I get! But I didn’t expect this would be the track that would bring her around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORh6...

Izzy hath used my deck of Edward Gorey’s ‘The Helpless Doorknob’ to compose a DEVASTATING short story.

Put these in for ten seconds and it was a better experience than any Bluetooth earbud I’ve ever tried. Cords are the way to go. Cords are the light.

I truly cannot express how little I want to see podcasts on Netflix. Please kindly take your de facto non-union talk shows and shove them. There might only be one and a half US network late night talk shows that are actually funny, but I'll take them over webcams of podcasts every time.

"Do you think Donald Trump gives a crap if Carney said ‘but I got elbows?’ Does anyone see anything more pathetic, more ridiculous and more embarrassing to the country of Canada?" Yup, I sure do, and it's pretty hard to miss. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Scoops of explanation. This sounds like a person who understands what news is and should run one of the biggest news organizations in the world. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
