Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Takes off to Cancun when there’s a crisis, shows up to screw people. So glad he renounced Canadian citizenship.

I must’ve missed the memo where it became cool to broadcast your audio on a plane. Sigh. Headphones people, headphones. I don’t want to hear your academic / self help audio. Also I can only noise cancel so much.

Ah, hell no.

Well, that’s scary… CISA to furlough 65% of staff if government shuts down this week via @ericjgeller.com & @cybersecuritydive.bsky.social

Homeward Bound. What an amazing visit to Barcelona. Highly recommend and thank you to WestJet for the direct flight from Halifax.

'You'll never need to work again': Criminals offer reporter money to hack BBC. I recently got offered millions of pounds to give cyber criminals from the Medusa gang my BBC login. I played along to learn about how these 'insider threat' deals work. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well deserved

South Park has made me terrified of these.

Um, no. A cryptographicly secure national digital ID isn’t a hackers dream. It’s a nightmare for them and a public good. The alternative is the chaos we live in now (hacker’s dream) or cyber punk dystopia where tech bro Zaibatsu (think Gibson, but worse) control digital citizenship.

Drone show in Barcelona, Spain. It’d be awesome to have one in Fredericton. Super cool and no booms to scare pups.

The @telliotter.bsky.social network state story is here. This is a really important concept driving a lot of the thinking coming out of Silicon Valley and influencing the GOP. The characters themselves are also something to behold. Trust me, you gotta check it out: www.wired.com/story/tech-b...

Enjoying Barcelona

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

What a joke our justice system has become. Five years concurrent isn’t even a slap on the wrist. It’s a bedtime tickle. In a sane country this clown would rot in jail knowing he will never be free. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We need to start a reading revolution if we want to counter the hyper brain rot of social media and generative AI.

Love this.

Good.

The ending of Redford’s A River Runs Through It (1992), based on the Norman Maclean novella. Such an incredibly gifted artist. RIP

“When you get older, you learn certain life lessons. You apply that wisdom, and suddenly you say: Hey, I’ve got a new lease on this thing. So let’s go.” A life of art, activism, and heart. R.I.P. Robert Redford. 🕊️💫

My wife, a health care professional, has been assaulted by patients more times in her career than I can keep count of. Sometimes it's folks suffering from dementia. This kind of training is a smart move. But so is prosecuting criminal behaviour. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Often criticized, but the decision by Harper gov't in 2011 to build warships in Canada, rather than buying abroad, now seems like the right one. open.substack.com/pub/gregmacn...

Colleges and universities are going way too soft on policing AI, Tyler Austin Harper argues. “Institutions of higher learning can abandon their centuries-long educational project,” he writes. “Or they can fight.”

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

We solve political disputes at the ballot box not at the end of a barrel.

WATCH: “My standing piece of advice for those in North America who pine to see the best-practice streets & places in Europe or want to educate colleagues/friends on what’s possible: go to Montreal. It’s much closer. They really have it all.” Via @streetfilms.bsky.social & @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social.

Touring around Barbados

Not a bad place to start my workday.

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

Solid advice. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VoXw...

Shocked. Next we’ll find out it was drafted by AI.

Well, years more phishing work well on the horizon.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

This is fantastic. More of this to break the cycle of crime, additions and incarceration. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

"First they came for immigrants, trans people, minorities, the disabled, the unhoused, women's rights, vaccines, science, universities, global public health, free speech, the rule of law, and our international allies, and I did nothing because..."

If they aren’t replacing the role with AI, that should tell you something. Not that I’m saying that they actually could replace the job with AI, but that kind of shows how overhyped it is that these mindless bots are gonna take all the jobs.

Found out this morning that a motorcyclist was killed in a traffic accident in near the Big Stop in Waasis. It's really bothering me because a decade ago I tried to get something done to improve safety and couldn't because we weren't a municipality. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

(Warning, graphic content): Okay, it's time to shame someone for being a bad dog owner. To the individual that chose to note clean up after their dog leaving a large mess on the sidewalk downtown right in front of our entrance, shame on you.

This is nuts. The crown prosecutor should dismiss these charges. We need a deterrent to home invasion. globalnews.ca/news/1134120...

As Australia rolls out a ban on social media for kids under 16, tech companies face steep fines and teens face life without TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms. Will it work?

Sigh. 8/9 candidates rejected this weekend because they didn't follow instructions on the job application to include a cover letter or didn't pay attention to a crucial ask for the cover letter that's included purposefully in the job application. Read the postings, follow instructions.

My Apple Music New Music playlist this week is dialled in. Great new music from Box Rebellion, Miley, AWOLNation and more. #headnoddingwhilewriting

I noticed the ratio of spam / sexbot likes, replies and follows decreased dramatically after I shaved off the beard. Interesting. It's not just my wife who had strong feelings on the facial hair (although she's much happier it's gone).

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people." - Cmdr William Adama, Battlestar Galactica. m.youtube.com/shorts/sz2QN...

So pilot has to reboot the plane. Lovely.

Flying home into a sunrise.
