"Don't let the bastards get you down"

With the news down south as of late, this scene keeps playing in my mind. What event will be the one that sets off the spark, because if one ever does, it'll make the riots in 1968, the troubles, hell almost any revolution look like a cakewalk in comparison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuRU...

Welp the propaganda was prepared in advanced. Already seen multiple Canadian posters in forums I frequent give the usual "he should have complied" rebuttal. Just remember America, there's ignorant bootlickers outside your borders too.

Can we get Canada on this list? It seems to be where the sane countries are at. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

In case you needed another reason to hate the Florida Panthers.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=YewL...

The generations change, but some things sadly stay the same.

Thanks to @taoofstieb.bsky.social i have this to share www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap... I find it amusing that my most common conversing account is for a non fascist online news source out of Tenneesee. Weird

So got into a verbal scuffle with a bigot today so...that was fun.

Waking up to a charlie horse in both your calf and knee is the most monday way to start the day

How good is the Grey Cup marketing? In a sports bar, abaolutely no evidence that its on. Or a game. Or that the cfl exists.

Welp, at least Leaf fans can say they dont have the biggest choke in Toronto sport history anymore. Six outs to go, and here we are. Cant say more then that.

Welp now Canada can go back to our winter tribalism, as it's officially hockey season again.

So made the mistake of tuning in just in time to see the Jays go down 3-0. So...sorry, this is why I don't watch or listen to the games. For the greater good.

The more i use ffmpeg and AI, the more i wonder why anyone would bother with it. What a shitshow.

Tonight was a great example of how far Canadian healthcare has fallen. Go to emergency for a head wound, lots of blood. Eight hours later get told youre there until morning because the lone doctor on call is gone after midnight, so youre waiting overnight for any word. Decades of mismansgement

Realized i have 500 followers. Kind of feel sorry for anyone following, im not that great for anyone expecting content.

I get why we import stuff like bananas and mangos and such, but why are we importing beef from australia? Did Alberta go vegen recently and I missed the memo?

Found a paper at the dealership named Farmers Report. Thought itd be informatice about farming. Read more like twitter with more focused ads. If youre wondering why rural areas are getting strange, look at whats being provided for reading material, and why American companies but up media outlets

Read the National Post for the first time in a while. I can see why its so thin. Was like reading long form twitter posts in print. How far theyve fallen.

The Jays are seeing the same thing they saw during the 1985-1991 era. Concentrating on offense will get you to the offseason, but its pitching, especially reliveries, that get you the ring. And right now, the Jays are a ways from 1992 level.

Reading about tge @cfl.ca rules changes makes me wonder if tge league has hired their own Gary Bettman. Especislly in this environment, making the Canadian game more American.

Learned today that you can't report comments on Linkedin for....well any reason. Could be blatant bot like or full of shit, but it seems engagement triumphs all now. Wish I could say I'm surprised that another social networking site is going the facebook/twitter route.

Recent events have showed that there are a fair number of my collegues and friends that, if push came to shove, would happily slam the knife in my back. Its a bit terrifying to learn what people you thought you knew really believe and support.

Noticed a few folks blocked me overnight. Noticed they were all Liberal party backers. Guess holding politicians accountable isn't cool anymore.

Apparently I'm on a list about being sent to a cornfield? Clearsky finds you the strangest things. On a positive sky, I hope it's this one. That'd be awesome.

Reading that the Ontario government is forcing all public service employees back to the office, weeks after saying it wouldnt. Dont know whats more predictable; politicans lying, management still thinking its 1985, or unions having the fortitude of cooked pasta.

Reading the comments on a lot of posts on linkedin answers two things; business people are not any smarter then the average bear, and its facebook with less terrible apps (for now)

Tries facebook marketplace tonight without an account, and its effecticely been neutered to the point of uselessness. Guess they really want people tomsign up to use it...even tbought it works poorly.

That youtube forces far right garbage that you cant block or filter out says all you need to know about tge service. Like most social media, its veen comprimised.

My state of being in a nutshell

Not having a computer is like being thrown back into the mid 90s again; only the music isnt as good, evrrythings too expensive, and your friends are all gone.

Tgere was a famous person who once said "If youre not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If youre not a conservative at 40, you have no brain." Guess Im missing both.

Seeing someone having created almost thirty instances of their accoubt to avoid blocks is saying something. Its not flattering for them, but its very loud and clear.

Hearing tge N word being casually thrown out in a social setting really makes you wonder whay decade they think were in. And if tge parents of boomers regretted having kids.

Didnt realize we annexed Florida.

Tge more i use AI, tge more I feel comfident that its a long time before humans will be replaced coding wise.

What is the state of legacy media over the last decade. And they wonder why their business model is dying...

Watching the habs game tonight reminds me why i stopped watching the nhl.

At this point itd almost be tradition

WElp, it could have been worse, but if that result is elbows up, our elbows are made of marshmellow.

Think its time to enjoy this near summer like day, and tune out of seeing if were a wise country or not for a bit. If we are, see you tomorrow. If were not....well...it was a ride.

"Well, no need to brood on what tomorrow may bring. For one thing, tomorrow will be certain to bring worse than today, for many days to come. And there is nothing more that I can do to help it. The board is set, and the pieces are moving." #LOTR #canadaelection

Spent today texting most friends if they've voted. Most are doing it tomorrow. DIdn't ask who they voted for; some I knew, some I hoped I was wrong. It wasn't much; I don't know a lot of people, but it's better then nothing I guess. Now to wait until Tuesday, and to see where we go from there.

Seeing Conservatice canidate signs with "Choose change" signs on top of them. Change for tge sake of change. Winning stragety. Working great in the US right now.

Taking a break from a long week, pretending Im not in a city.

Reading that almost twenty percent of tge eligible voters in Canada voted this weekend. No link so who knows if its true, but it is...

Been seeing a fair number of Canadian flags on houses and lining streets in small towns lately. And not accompying by banners wanting to have relations with prime ministers. Dont know if its that I jusy didnt notice, or its a country thing, but its a good sight to see. Subtle patriotism.

Sens fans are disapointed in the game result. Leaf fans are sad the announcers mentioned the sens? Guess noone was happy tonight.

Driving through Arnprior today. Riding was a conservative majority in 2021. Polling office had lineups out the door. Make of that what you will

Welp did my civic duty for another election. Told my friends to get out and vote. Now its just waiting to see if were smarter then the Americans were.
