A friend of mine told me that a few years back someone started an impassioned argument with her that there were no snakes in Star Wars. The hills people choose are fascinating.

Good morning

An insane detail in @pulmyears.bsky.social's Kids in the Hall biography is that this man was the teacher who encouraged Kevin McDonald to try improv comedy after he was kicked out of college.

My “this is not a golden calf” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Please take a moment to remember All-American Girls Professional Baseball League speedster and Canadian Baseball HOF inductee Dottie (Ferguson) Key (Virden, Man.) who died 23 years ago today at the age of 80. She had 461 stolen bases in her 10-year AAGPBL career with the Rockford Peaches.

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

Celebrate all you want, but I choose to observe Orthodox Star Wars Day on the 25th.

Same energy:

Just watching the Blue Jays play the Twins and seeing a lot of empty seats at Target Field and thinking maybe I could have gone to that game if their country hadn’t elected a hostile Mad King who made me have doubts about ever going there again. Oh well.

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Winnipeg infrastructure has really stepped up its safety game since the events in Wolseley last week.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

In a 1974 Captain America story, the masked leader of a fascistic secret society plotting to take over America through media manipulation and murder is revealed to be… President Richard Nixon.

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

No, I don’t want to share my location. No, I don’t want to download your app. No, I don’t want to make an account. I just want to look at your menu to see how much your stupid fucking burger costs.

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

“The quest caused me to venture to places I had never visited before. I watched sunrises and sunsets and got lost in the tiny world framed by my viewfinder.” 🕊️🐦‍⬛🦅

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

Shout-out to the Bond movies for making an evil tech founder a super-villain back in 1985, at least 25-30 years before the rest of us caught on.

Someone should just come up with "dobe crobt", a pdf editor with no A or I in it guaranteed

I feel like his skills could have been put to better use at that specific point in time

Jays are safe for the moment. Time to check in on the Raptors.

my eyes just rolled so hard they popped out and skittered across the floor and are now staring at me from the other side of the room

Didn’t realize Iran had Weapons of Mass Diss-Tracksion.

But aside from that, how was the dinner?

this is what all the social media in the Purge movies looks like

the enemy of my enemy is.... the pope? wait that can't be right.

Unstoppable technology of the future still begging people to use it

I finished rewatching “The Americans” tonight. I really wish they’d do a “10 Years Later”.

Peguis First Nation was forcibly relocated to this flood-prone site more than a century ago. The community remains without permanent flood protection.

i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account

Tom Servo??

It was worth the cost and effort of putting millennials in space so we could get a portrait-mode version of Earthrise

Hey. It's me, your bank. I've sent you an email because there's an important message in the app I can't tell you what it is, but it *is* important. Everything I say is important (I am a bank) (checks app) "0.01% cashback if you spend over £500 at Peppa Pig world between 1 and 2pm next Thursday!"

There used to a pop song every year named "Hero" and the chorus was always "You're a hero deep inside / don't ever let your hero hide". But then 9/11 happened, and every pop song was named "Party Booty (Bootyhole Remix) feat DJ A$$crack". And if it isn't true don't correct me.

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

It appears Nusya Pressey has passed away. She attended U of W in the late ‘80s. If you remember a punk rocker who was around the Uniter and CKUW back then, that was probably her. No other details except I saw her older brother’s obituary from January, and it said she had predeceased him.

It’s such a crazy coincidence how the people in Hollywood advocating for use of AI are the ones who already have enough resources to exploit it for personal financial gain

I'm so out of patience with this kind of mockery. Yes, progressive language is jargon-y and occasionally irritating. You know how long ago that started? Roughly the dawn of time. So be irritated privately. But whining about it is like discrediting a picket sign because you hate the font.
