I really think this is the most important basic journalistic error we need to stamp out right now. If you know why Grok can’t comment on anything and also know any journalists, please check in with them and help them understand it too.

Well gee if you're going to put it THAT way...

Love the Examiner but I still don't like their ongoing "here's an organization doing good work that is actually problematic" series that did the SPCA a while back and now Souls Harbour - but maybe it's just me, and I have to admit I'm having trouble articulating exactly why.

I'm always getting Kevin O'Leary and Erin O'Toole confused in my head Also Ezra Levant and Ezra Klein Then there's the 2 Naomis, one of whom even wrote a whole book about it.

This is a huge loss to New York City's vibrant GoFundMe Fraud Community. I expect to see more like it, sadly.

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

I love it so much 🤗

I find that there is nothing almost but bawdry at Court from top to bottom. How much of this is true, God knows, but it is common talk.

I'm adamantly opposed to nuclear weapons, but...

Well this was quite the way to lose a lot of time right before wrapping up the year! thomaswc.com/2025.html

Humanoid robots got a ton of hype, but we’re nowhere near a robot butler at home. They can’t handle random household tasks, putting heavy machinery in your living room is a safety nightmare, and the price tag is absurd. None of that stops investors from buying the Optimus dream and pumping TSLA.

As of right now the US S&P500 index was up 17.5% for the year. The Canadian TSX index was up 28.4%. FWIW Bitcoin was down 6.96%. Ethereum down 11.6%

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

Mid 2000s. Roots store on Bloor street Toronto. Was buying boots and there were 2 young women with an entourage. Sort of odd looking TBH but with very striking eyes. Cashier asked if I was with them and I whispered "no but who are they?" And that's how the Olsen twins almost bought my boots for me.

Gets expensive plastic surgery to "looksmax". Still dresses like a slob.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Woah thought I was on Threads for a minute there

Just starting in on this (it'll take a while!) but this paragraph so perfectly described so much going on in the markets right now that I was surprised that a search for "TESLA" didn't come up with any results

Hey bro check out my new startup "Gothmog" which lets you beat up hobos from the safety and comfort of your own home via telepresence. Higher tiers let you do it in various exotic locales. VIP plan lets you light them on fire! Musk, Thiel, and A16Z are already in on the seed round.

"It’s safe to say that in the second week of January in 1977, the film business had no idea what was about to land at the turnstiles from a galaxy far, far away. But they were warned with this teaser ad. From the Jan. 12, 1977, edition of Variety."

This is a much more interesting article than the "ruins your commute" title would suggest. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Interesting how even in 1900 the ocean travel part of shipping was way cheaper than the land travel part.

The thing Sacks is mad about is a potential wealth tax which only impacts those with assets over $1 billion. That will impact very few actual people in Silicon Valley. FWIW I have some issues with the actual proposal, but the idea that it means Silicon Valley "is for dinner" is nonsense.

"We will pledge you an additional billion in military aid in exchange for technical and tactical training on modern drones, and oh you gotta try the Bay of Funghi pizza - they have their own oven here you know!"

But, in the madness, might they find...love?

Carney and Zelenskyy trapped by the fog and the sea in an isolated lighthouse near near the rocky shores of Cap Forchu. They have too much rum and slowly drive each other mad

True they're probably just passing through. Fun fact: I saw Zelenskyy's plane when he made a quick stop in Rome back in 2023, completely with Eurofighter escort (as seen from the Borghese gardens)

Curious where they're staying / meeting. The Muir? Weston? Lord Nelson? Marriott Waterfront? Sutton Place? On the navy base? Maybe they're staying at some hipster AirBnB off Agricola and meeting over cask ales and wings in one of the side booths at Stillwell Freehouse?

Found some long overdue down-time over the holidays and am finally getting back into Cyberpunk 2077 - I've actually figured out some gear and am finishing missions and levelling up. Only like 5 years late.

they’re all christmas movies if you watch them on your phone in bed while hiding from family drama

This household has decided that "Miller's Crossing" is a Christmas movie.

As is tradition, on Christmas eve Dutch people have placed candles on the graves of allied soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom during WW2. Photos by Albert Hendriks. www.omroepbrabant.nl/nieuws/60013...

It really is about the notes you don’t play

sequel to The Thing that's just Kurt Russell and Keith David fist fighting for ninety minutes. you never find out if either of them is the thing

Ubisoft Halifax workers form a union

One of the best things in my inbox

Honestly 'R&D trojan horse that never gets built but is instead a box to smuggle various actually useful projects past this administration' is probably the best case for this 'battleship.'

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.
