Age Verification? Two words: Punch Cards.

Story. Of. My. Life.

it really underlines the mafia mentality of this government when you remember that the justice department has nothing to do with ICE. it’s like bribing the interior secretary to call off the IRS

My favourite comment, to a post saying “Look how hard I get when I think about abolishing ICE” is “LICK COCK NOT BOOT” 😋

turning on the CNN coverage of the NY election with a wide, placid smile on my face

AND THIS. The best news segment ever to air on network television

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

It would be funny if it wasn't so infuriating to see the seamless pivot from "CLEANSE THEM WITH FIRE AND BLOOD" to "Now, now as the great Bard of Avon once told us 'The quality of mercy is not strained but falleth..." now that it's known the shooter's family voted Republican.

Or when the homeowner gains 30lbs and can’t fit through half of the secret tunnels anymore.

A great piece about a great book. Heartbreaking, all the same. Brava @mollyjongfast.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.

Me, right now.

Gay powers restored something something etc. Still need to neaten up the beard a bit but I’m kind of embracing the bushier ‘stache. It blends well with the rabid raccoon dark circles under my eyes.

I’m a little annoyed. My company has started offering language training as part of our continuing education, so I decided to brush up on my French. After all my father was québécois, and I grew up speaking franglais in Montreal. I also got by quite well in Paris and even used it in BsAs.

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

I just had an epiphany about AI, machine learning (ML) and and LLM training, and why it’s resulted in systems that recommend a daily intake of gravel or adding glue to your pizza toppings. It comes down to autodidactism, which a friend of mine has happily embraced for years A 🧵

Me waking up at 3 am because my blood sugar is crashing.

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

Artificial Intelligence when I was a kid:

some time ago this changed my life, and I think you should see it

instead of spending $300m on tv ads no one watches, maybe next cycle the Dem-aligned PACs could pay a few hundred unemployed ex-investigative journalists just to track down and out every pedophile Republican running for office

New travel campaign just dropped.

She died in binary. That’s dedication. RIP.

Ursula K. Le Guin on the true pain of being a writer

Penelope Keith's career as a hitwoman has been outed by Russell Brand. But she is not the only one of our celebrated actresses to have had a secret past.

45 years in BC and I can still read French! Only “heureux” gave me a pause, because I don’t think I’ve ever used it. (My father was Québécois and I grew up - *in the Anglo suburbs* - of Montreal. Oddly, I still sometimes dream in French.)

Someone in Kitsilano has a very funny sense of humour. Apparently this isn’t their first installation either 😂

Fighting downtown traffic in Buenos Aires, and screaming when the taxi driver tries to stay between two busses on either side as our 3 lane street merges down to 2. (Whereupon he whipped out his only memorized English phrase “Don’t worry, it will be ok.”)

She speaks truth.

Happy Friday to this ally king, wherever he is.

CBC's Fifth Estate has traced a wide web of anti-LGBT hate working to censor or close down libraries in Canada to a right-wing U.S. movement

Hey! What X-Men or X-Men related panel/pages always make you smile or laugh?

they couldn't have booed just a LITTLE harder???? 💔

Well, the law review submission cycle is starting up again, so it's time to share what I've been working on: a 2,000-word article on the batshit commercial in which AI overrides Matthew McConaughey's hierarchy of needs: defector.com/salesforce-i...

32 minutes to cook an egg? By alternating every 2 minutes between hot water and cold water 16 times for 8 complete cycles??

“They founded Sucia NYC in 2020 after the sex parties they were hosting in their own apartment got too big for the space. (“It was a lot,” he told me. “Like, we live here, right? I use the couch during the week.”)” 😆😆😆

The best comparison I ever made was that having untreated ADHD is like trying to function the day after staying up, with no sleep, for the previous day and night. And just like going without sleep, the ADHD effect gets worse with age. I juggled it passably for 45 years before all the balls dropped.

Trump seems to have gotten rolled by Trudeau too. Trudeau said Canada will spend $1.3B on border upgrades (…previously announced in December) plus appoint a fentanyl czar and “ensure 24/7 eyes on the border” (…ok)

I thought Makers Mark was made in Tennessee? At least the bottle I have was, granted I probably bought it over 10 years ago. (As largely a non-drinker, I’ve stocked my “entertaining bar” through 30+ years of international travel and duty free. Still have unopened Chivas bought in Argentina in ‘96.)

Peter Baker, buying into Trump’s fantasy about his confrontational win against Colombia, rather than the truth of how it went down in reality. Baker and Habermann always interview Trump like they’re trying to keep a kidnapper on the phone long enough to trace the call. 🤦‍♂️

That didn’t age well.
