Someone just added me to a “Wrong about VR, AI, Crypto, SmartGlasses, GLP1, NFTs, or Bitcoin” block list, and I’m mostly curious which way they think I’m wrong about it

The terrible Baen stereotype covers on Bujold’s Vorkosigan books dissuaded me from trying them for years.

Westerns were arguably more dominant in their heyday. Between 1950 and 1965 there were more than 100 western TV series produced... at a time where there was only a few channels. We still call the music genre “country and western”, with the “western” being movie soundtracks

Also, every subreddit takes the “Anything” in AMA very seriously, and expects answers. Even AMAs on friendly subreddits get frequently derailed because the poster doesn’t understand how to be a good sport about it

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 "The Canada we are building lies beyond the horizon of such fears. Yet it is not, for all that, an unreal country, forgetful of the hearts of men and women. We know that justice and generosity can flourish only in an atmosphere of trust." - Pierre Elliot Trudeau, 1982

"I asked my Chief of Staff how we should incorporate First Nations sovereignty on ceded and unceded land and the existing precedents on indigenous consultation into our national strategy for economic growth. He flipped through the Atlas of Canada for ten minutes, then went home and shot himself."

At GameCon Canada. That’s a lot of Warhammer players in one place

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. (Jensen Ackles was such a baby face in this one)

A different sort of Edmonton history. The 1971 Klondike Parade! I really think it's a shame that this has turned into the generic K-Days. It used to have such a distinct identity. Look at those amazing costumes! Shot on Super8 film #Film #History #Edmonton #Yeg

Got the shipping notice for my Dice Throne Vanguard Kickstarter fulfillment, and I’m beyond excited. Absolutely love that silly battle Yahtzee game

Here's some hockey history. Gordie Howe vs Wayne Gretzky in the WHA semi-finals, April 27 1979. The Oilers won the game 5-9, and went on to lose to the Winnipeg Jets in the finals. This was the final season before the WHA merged with the NHL Shot on Super8 film #Film #History #Hockey #NHL

Sir Bernard of Beansington is our current foster. He’s a well dressed and rambunctious little fellow. His name is officially just Bernard, but he’s so full of beans that he got the addendum #CatsOfBluesky #ProofOfCat

And, finally, the reason that DC3 was in Gander. A great big Lockheed Constellation, operated by KLM. The first pressurized airliner to offer trans-Atlantic service. Shot in the early 1950s on 16mm film #Film #History #Airplanes #Gander #KLM

Going to jump forward to a different DC3. A Trans Canada DC3 flying out of Gander, Newfoundland in the early 1950s. For decades Gander was a hub for trans-Atlantic flights, which is why it famously had enough runways to handle the diversions on 9/11. Filmed on 16mm #Film #History #Airplanes #Gander

This plane was filmed a year later, in 1939. Lovely looking Douglas DC-3 operated by Inland Airlines, who merged into Western Airlines, who then later merged into Delta. Shot on 8mm film. #Film #History #Airplanes

I'm going to post some airplanes! We're going to start with a TCA Lockheed Model 10 Electra from 1938. A year after this, this plane was used by the RCAF for training. Fun fact, it's the same model that Amelia Earhart was flying when she disappeared. Shot on 8mm film. #Film #History #Airplanes

JRRT: your top guy is actually a lady CSL: 🫠 JRRT: she wears lipstick CSL: like...like SUSAN!?!?!

It's been a while since I've uploaded something, instead of just doom scrolling. So, here is a Columbia Icefields tour, shot in the 1970s on 16mm film. This just makes me hungry for the mountains. #Film #History #Alberta #Jasper

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

Technically, confiscating the entire net worth of everyone involved would be civil damages.

My Bond hot take: I don’t care who plays Bond. Jason Bourne should be a Canadian agent I want a scene where the CIA yells “Oh shit! it’s Jason Bourne! If any of us survive this I’m lodging a stern protest with the Prime Minister. what the hell were they thinking?”

Hunter Schafer. The villain should be a deranged children’s author

It’s only a true vitamin if it’s imported from a jurisdiction without inspections and sold by a sketchy MLM. Otherwise it’s just sparkling medicine. They can tell the difference

The concept of decentralized high control groups is weirdly fascinating. Terrible, but fascinating

This sort of thing is why it’s so important to support real, boots-on-the-ground, local journalism

Again, to be clear, that's $250 to the first person who can provide an example of Ezra, during May of 2016, addressing the relentless criticism of his "100%" claim by clarifying that, yes, what he meant was 100% after deducting Indiegogo's service fee.

The Alberta NDP had the advantage. They lost it. Former cabinet minister Shannon Phillips on how it slipped — and what it'll take to win it back. This week in Forward Weekly → forwardweekly.ca/How-the-Albe... #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

I look out the window and I think it’s abundantly clear that God hates Alberta.

Two of my favorite authors seem to have caught each other on a bad day and are having a bit of a contretemps in each other’s comments. It feels like watching my parents fight 😂

NEW BLOG POST Edmonton's housing momentum didn't stop at the end of 2025. Q1 2026 data is in and Edmonton is on track for another strong year of homebuilding in the places people want to live. The rowhome revolution continues. 🧵 #yeg #yegcc #yimby jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/q1-building-permits/
