I haven’t been posting about mini-biz while my stuff is at the market, but folks, it’s not been great sales. So a reminder here that: 1. I sell gift cards - loxythemaker.com/products/lox... 2. I do a big end of the year sale - and this year, I’m thinking 70% off everything.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

U.S. plan to inspect Canadians’ social media overwhelmed by Peter Mansbridge thirst traps

From the Canadian curling trial volunteer handbook. No driving forklifts? Fine, it's not like I'm going to have the opportunity to do it anyway

business insider says he purchased two “Grand Vividus” mattresses from Hästens. they’re evidently handmade from horsehair and other materials, and come with a “bed doctor” who comes to your home to massage the mattress www.businessinsider.com/carl-rinsch-...

WAKE UP, HOSERS NEW PETITION JUST DROPPED E-6690 "To Amend the CPP Act to require that any province seeking to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan must first obtain the consent of at least 2/3s of the other participating provinces that do not operate their own comprehensive pension plans..."

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

The coming years are going to reveal a lot more waste on 'AI' like this by our governments, to the tune of 10s of billions squandered on appalling nonsense, all to make rich Tech Bros richer.

This scene from the episode where Lex Luthor body swaps with the Flash is still, unironically, one of the greatest moments of DC universe.

Supreme Court of Canada to donate robes to mall Santas in need

Canada just updated its list of designated terrorist groups to include three ideologically motivated violent extremist groups — ones that are pretty darkly disturbing. The newly listed groups include 764, Maniac Murder Cult and the Terrorgram Collective. Here's what you need to know:

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

I see the Australian social media ban is off to a great start. Nobody knows you're a dog on the Internet. 🐕

them: "you can use AI to talk to dead people for only $9.99 a month :)" me: "you absolute fools. i speak to the dead using the skull of a murderer, the ashes of the burned apocrypha, my own heart's blood, and a vial of water from the river beneath the vatican. it costs me nothing but my very soul."

"I'm not in denial... I'm in open rebellion." Same, Ethan Hawke. Same.

I read “Informa” and my brain was immediately cooked. Just fucking microwaved. youtu.be/TSffz_bl6zo?...

This is now out in front of @theverge.com paywall for 24 hours (cool experiment!). Please do give it a read: it’s the story of how the White House is leading a global crackdown on news outlets and disinfo research.

I wonder if they can use the carpooling lane

I did not have "The US government wages war against computer fonts because of DEI" on my 2025 bingo card and i did not because it's so fucking stupid that I can no longer think or see straight

This is incredible.

So yet again they refuse to link a "source" and even after something is proven to be untrue they don't retract or do anything. Can we all just block these chucklefucks already? They cause way more problems than they've ever once reported (and by reported I mean stolen someone else's work).

My dad got shingles two years ago and is still recovering. Sometimes just sitting activates the nerve pain. Get your shingles vaccine!

Last time I tried contacts, a co-worker asked if I had been in a fight, because it looked like I had black eyes 🤷‍♂️

I could change USPS to Canada Post and the United states to Canada and federal agency to Crown corporation and the sentence is still 100% true

My daughter left her Spotify account logged in on our TV while she did her DofE expedition back in April, so I did what any self-respecting dad would do. Payoff finally came today.
