Asked the AI about whether the trend putting a kitchenaid mixer outside in -30C to make ice cream was a good idea. It said it was not as wear and tear on greased gears and other brittle parts may damage it… so we will devise an alternative.

Musk’s participation in the bikini trend opened the floodgates. Grok went from making 300k images a week to 4.4 million. Read more from me, @dylanfreedman.nytimes.com and @stuartathompson.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

Their patents expired in Canada so these ‘fake’ versions aren’t violating IP laws, just 5 other regulations.

Carney at the WEF. Worth a listen. www.youtube.com/live/uStuQ-T...

You got someone local who wants to buy that much canola?

It’s almost like the tiny quota number they chose was the number of Chinese-made Model Ys imported in 2023…

Diarrhea on the space station is the worst.

Let’s go! ⛸️❄️

I still remember when NCIX went bankrupt and they auctioned off the server racks and delivered them with customer data still on them.

“The only two actual sources cited in Numbeo’s data for Ottawa are links to the website of OC Transpo and a website showing admission prices for the Landmark Cinemas movie theatre in Orleans.” LMAO.

From Ben Johnson to the women’s soccer team, Canada gets caught cheating on something almost every olympics.

Folks, the "Minister of AI" has the moral backbone of a sleazy backroom art dealer.

I sat in a fucking court room and heard Apple imply that a naked cartoon banana was somehow inappropriate but somehow Grok non consensually undressing women and children is ok?? www.theverge.com/policy/85990...

Catching up on 2 weeks of news. How much of that Groq acquihire was old ATI engineers near Toronto 🇨🇦?

Got back to 🇨🇦 late last night. Work hit like a tsunami this morning. Let’s go 2026!

We are saddened and disappointed at Ubisoft’s announcement to close their Halifax studio just weeks after their video game workers collectively formed a union with CWA Canada Local 30111.

LoL

Decades of underfunding maintenance. Question to the accountants though, is it cheaper just to do these emergency fixes as they come up?

Wild article. Will have to read some of those court docs…

They call it the Monday of Mondays.

Figured out how to mute Slack at 8am this morning. I’m taking another week off. Starting 2026 can wait.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Passed a giant truck fully loaded with coal on the 401 yesterday. Who in Ottawa is it being delivered to? 🚛

Zero honesty or accountability. @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social "balanced" approach on display yet again leveller.ca/2025/12/cour...

I love how after all these years he still thinks he’s the mayor of Toronto.

@killedbygoogle.com fyi they finally pulled the plug on Google Tables yesterday.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re thinking about buying some Minecraft books, they all suck except the trilogy authored by Max Brooks. Those three are amazing novels to read. Gems hiding on the bookshelf between random branded slop.

Grand opening, grand closing. X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

"The mayor found it necessary to do some form of video release criticizing those who dared to challenge staff’s estimates as dealing in misinformation. The essence of that video release was to accuse the city’s AG of dealing in misinformation. Astounding." bulldogottawa.com/lansdowne-is...

In 1982, Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott Fahlman suggested using :-) for humorous comments after his colleagues took a joke about mercury seriously. www.wired.com/story/a-comp...

The youth wing of the internet governance community is 🔥🔥🔥. A lot of the grey haired founders of the internet community from the 1900s are aging out and their world is in good hands. @canadianigf.ca

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

In 1987, John Cleese delivered a sketch called “The Advantages of Extremism.” Reuploaded so it can be shared with #MapleMAGA / #MAGA somehow think they, and they alone, are so unique - and not sad attention seeking schizophrenics just repeating history.

Not surprised at all that the algorithms are cooked in such a way.

It was fun to watch, but also totally cringe that the team owner and broadcaster are all one company.

I believe a guy from McNabb Community, talking about how he pays $7.50 to rent out the field house. And he is currently beating landsdowne hands down on bringing revenue into the city 😂

The UN Cybercrime Treaty is fundamentally flawed and threatens human rights worldwide. UN Member States must not legitimize these dangers by signing when the Convention opens for signatures this weekend. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This is why we teach our children to never use their real identity online.

Once again, speed cameras work. (This is data from Ottawa, published in 2024.)

Beautiful day for @ottawaalliance.bsky.social run 🏃
