So tired of con politicians pretending outrage, but especially over Chinese EVs. This deal that “blindsided” Ford simply puts tariffs back the way they were in 2024, and the number of vehicles allowing represents 3% of new car sales annually. And “spy vehicles?” 🙄 #onpoli #cdnpoli

Late to the show but I just finished season one of #thepitt and now I feel like I need to lie down for six months.

Watching US politics, one thing is clear: we *cannot* allow our premiers to continue privatizing things like healthcare and allowing corporations to buy up housing stock and lobby for rent controls to be lifted. Financial oppression has too many Americans cowed. #cdnpoli #onpoli

From God’s lips to your ears.

one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

This was a lovely and thoughtful interview with the man responsible for Humans of New York. www.youtube.com/watch?v=igWM...

Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all): whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/13/a...
