oh no, did someone poison the legendary poison-gas enjoyer

RCMP says they'll get back to the Doug Ford Greenbelt investigation right after they've finished the delightful deli platter the Premier's office sent over.

It's diabolical that Taylor Swift released her new album on Mean Girls Day

If you're watching the intrusion of AI into all things human w/increasing bewilderment & wondering "who wants this?" I have a theory: People who have tangled with narcissists--incomplete humans who fake human emotions & behavior--are completely revulsed by AI. People who ARE narcissists love AI.

nah, after the most recent waffle incident i have to agree that bluesky the company really does not care about the users that made it what it is right now and telling people "you can leave" is the worst PR strategy i have ever seen the users that made this what it is can't just leave as of now

This is such a lovely thread:

Everyone should write their mayor and councillor across Ontario. they need to hear from you. They are often just windsocks and a few constituents making noise will get their attention The speeders have their attention currently. Take a few minutes and look up who yours are.

Good morning! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you. Keep it up. You’re doing great.

Correct

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board: “The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

They’re going to argue about who did a better job destroying Canada’s social safety net.

Where are those elbows at, Mark?

Honestly I'm willing to hear about the apes' governance plans at this point

Rest in peace to Jane Goodall, whose tireless advocacy for primates has brought us closer than ever to the Planet of the Apes becoming a terrifying reality

These are headlines the Ford govt doesn't want. "Brampton city council has voted unanimously to continue its automated speed enforcement (ASE) program... Officials say the average speed of a ticketed driver in Brampton is 15.7 km/h over the posted limit..." #OnPoli

As Canada Post workers fight for their rights against management and government, some returned to work in NL to find mail-in ballots. “[We wanted] to make sure that other people's Charter rights and constitutional rights are not being trampled on, the way that ours have been for the last 22 months”

I strained a bunch of muscles/tendons during my first night back at curling on Monday so I booked a last-minute massage today with a different therapist than usual. She beat the hell out of me, but I feel SO much better now. Holy moly. I think I might need to make her my go-to.

Europe 'no longer at peace' with Russia, Germany's Merz says kyivindependent.com/europe-no-lo...

1980s Carl Sagan: be careful America! Keep chopping down your attention spans and critical thinking skills and in a few generations youre gonna be cooked!!!” 2020s America: roasted toasted steamed broiled fried flambéed microwaved barbecued twice baked over easy with extra sauce

An LLM that I can get behind

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

29/9/40. Two RAAF Avro Ansons collided in the air over Brocklesby, New South Wales. Both navigators and the lower Anson pilot baled out, but the engines of the lower aircraft were still running and the upper pilot, LAC Fuller, was able to control and land the unwieldy combination successfully. 📷 AWM

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Hey, Europe, you were dragging feet in sanctioning and stopping the russian shadow fleet? Guess what you'll have now. #UkrainianView #UAView

Except IOF murderers have done exactly the same and worse - the mainstream media were silent there too.

The UN Speech that should have been covered wall to wall

One thing that feels underrepresented in our conversations around AI/education is the not-insignificant number of students who have a negative reaction to the idea of using AI—especially being compelled to do it by teachers. They deserve a voice in this conversation, too.

Doug will be outlawing crossing guards soon enough

Well don't I feel stupid

Canada Post is an essential public service, as with our public healthcare & education systems it is being murdered for ideological reasons at precisely the wrong time. Austerity & the neoliberal cult of privatization cannot build the structures needed to survive global fascism. archive.is/FE24d

Since a LOT of images on my timeline have been lacking alt text I think it’s time for a quick refresher: Alt text is important for users who rely on screen readers. The Bluesky community has long prided itself on being accessible, and we need your help to keep it that way.

This is actually a very, very long list of receipts — well-cited list of everything Poilievre has done for years, & nefarious parties/methods he has employed & assented to in his efforts to, well, wrangle control of Canada, I guess. It's a link you bookmark for arguing with this asshole's fans.

Contrary to what Carney said, all retaliatory tariffs have been removed apart from steel, aluminum, & auto. Beware of lying bank weasels. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

I hope the conservatives are happy that they managed to get one of their own into the PM's office.

Even if you don't live in Toronto (I'm not so fortunate), I think you should go to this. I had the thrill of going in January 2020 and it was an absolute blast. People who are nerds about *anything* will have a great time.

Doug Ford: cities can do speed cameras cities: good, we will police, schools, cities: speed cameras have now been shown to work and therefore will reduce deaths Doug Ford: my friends yelled at me about speeding tickets so more deaths it is
