i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

At the Alberta Legislature this morning to bear witness. #ableg #abpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransKids #yeg #Edmonton

Yes. This. Please. You don't need to use the industry's marketing terms when informing your readers, because those terms are actively misinforming them.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

This is government in the doctor's office, government in locker rooms, government in kids' private lives

Today, government introduced Bill 9 legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to override a court ruling that protects youth access to gender-affirming care. This places government between a patient and their physician, undermining clinical autonomy. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

This fucking government. 😑 #abpoli

I've been increasingly of the mindset that if you can't at least occasionally make small changes in your code with nano, it's a bad signal about the complexity of your codebase/tooling/etc.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson, one of the greatest comic strips of all time, was born on this day, November 18, 1985 -- December 31, 1995. And Calvin's dad remains a beacon of inspiration to cyclists everywhere.

After MTS adopted free fares for minors, the average age of riders on my usual bus (serves two high schools and both weekend terminals are shopping malls) dropped substantially. They get freedom without driving (inherently dangerous at their age) or their families needing to afford the extra car.

Hospitals to fight critical staffing shortage by declaring that all PhDs are “that kind of doctor” now

I tried to be subtle, but I know that doesn't reach all of you. I co-authored a crossword that was published today! Yegwords.com/p/too-soon

Yeah, but at least it's an environmental catastrophe with absolutely no regulation, so a handful of dirtbags can have even more money they'll never be able to spend.

What happened to Sarah Kendzior? Why is she suspended???

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

You mean we gotta spend an extra hour in the middle of all this

Operation Total Recall is a website with information on how to start and track the recall process for every MLA that voted in favour of Bill 2. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Hopefully some Canadian legal and polisci folks can weigh in on my hot take but my sense is that union action and the right to strike are items of previously settled case law as much as or even moreso than Charter matters subject to Section 33. Does the charter even apply directly to worker rights?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Dragon sickness is right there if we need a name. There are too many dragon in this world. They are terrorizing the people with their destructive greed.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Help me my friend! I have been imprisoned in this elevator! You must bring me the red pages so I can be free!

I stared at this one for a long time, without any clue how to start. I was shocked when I ended up playing perfect. #bracketCity [Bracket City] October 25, 2025 www.theatlantic.com/games/bracke... Rank: 🔮 (Puppet Master) 🎹 Total Keystrokes: 63 🎯 Minimum Required: 63 Total Score: 100.0 🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪

Funny how "sacrifices" always means fewer social programs and not, say, bringing back the capital gains tax Carney himself trashed when he came into power. This would be the absolutely perfect time to raise taxes in the interests of nation building, but the Liberals are conservatives, so they won't.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

people gotta treat this behavior the same as we treat shitting on the floor

Spent a few minutes looking around to see where I dropped my coat on the floor when I got home last night. Turns out I hung it up? In the closet? Like a human? gross.

Follow-up reminder: if you want to use alt text but keep forgetting, there's a setting for that!

The fundamental physics of the universe are tired of being blamed for the screw-ups of human people 😑

Can we just take a minute to coin the term "slopbro"?

In conclusion, SENSE8 is a land of contrasts.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

All capital I's should have serifs to distinguish them from lowercase l's

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

Why does everything have to be about profit? Mail service is infrastructure. How much profit do roads make?

I know it's far from the worst thing going on in the world, but I'm still constantly dismayed that TFG doesn't Know How Capital Letters Work.

Reposting this, no reason

i often think this about cops who kill unarmed people in the line of duty in ways that cause reasonably anger. most of them probably don't meet the high standard for conviction for murder. most of them also fucked up real bad and should be fired!
