both russians and americans share the same bingo card of lame excuses. we hate this government too, it’s not that easy to change it, we didn’t choose this president, i went to a protest actually, don’t equate the people with the government etc they’re all guilty and they know it. #UkrainianView

Today I learned something about Canada

@realitycece.bsky.social @jennalee609.bsky.social you guys were confused why people call HR russian propaganda. Now, if you were duplicitous, block me and move on. If you were genuine, here's an explanation: Disclaimer: I'm not saying that liking HR makes you a bad person; neither is my goal to stop

I think it is possible to have solidarity with the ordinary American citizens fighting ICE in their streets while also showing frustration with people who do not seem to understand why this threat is so dangerous. it's possible to hold two opinions at the same time. america is not a monolith

Can someone allow non-PR/non-citizen to join Canadian Reserve forces? Asking for a friend. (This is half joke. I know you cannot)

mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent

If, please God, it does work out that way, the lesson of Europe acting together and facing down a threat may be lost on the US, but it isn't going to be lost on Canada, and above all it will not be lost on Europe. At which point, I suspect a newly-aware Europe is also going to look eastwards.

This is a lie. I was on the Danforth Saturday night, 24 hours after blizzard, & bike lanes were full of snow & car lanes clear. Sidewalks meh. This man makes things up to rage his way into the mayoral office. Tell your not-online friends & fam.

If successful (so far) resistance to US teaches EU that they can standup and win, maybe, they will stop hesitate and give full support to Ukraine to defeat russia. Not a lot of hopes but you never know.

I can count for myself, thank you. Can we get like boom in building trains and public transport here in Ontario/Canada?

It also gives more confidence for US backed Alberta separatists to overthrown gov. What happens when US supplies some personnel, equipment (e.g. guns), money, and riots start? Will Can federal gov wait for days/weeks until it is too late to call up police/military?

It's -15 °C now in Ottawa. But I'm inside with heat and electricity. It's -13 °C now in Kyiv and much of the city is without heating and electricity due to drone and missile attacks on energy infrastructure by russian terrorists. Russians should suffer greatly for what they are doing.

The Nobel Prize has, of course, been passed on by a winner before. There is historical precedent here. Norwegian author Knut Hamsun gave his Nobel to Joseph Goebbels during the Nazi occupation in 1943.

BREAKING: The TTC is getting new Line 2 subway trains (55 trains), manufactured right here in Ontario in Thunder Bay. They’re based on Alstom’s Metropolis platform, and look extremely modern. More here: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

So funny that US politicians put more effort into naming their laws so abbreviation sounds cool (e.g. “QR” here, you def saw other examples) instead of, you know, actually doing a meaningful job they are required to do.

my latest in yesterday’s paper now online: “We’re no more than vassal state of the US if the Canadian digital experience is shaped by the ethos, values, and whims not only of the Trump administration but of the Big Tech oligarchs that have Trump’s ear as well.” www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I know the world is not in the best place right now but have you noticed how audible is swallowing on Powell's video? It is hilarious 😂 youtu.be/RFTGjDR72i4?... youtu.be/RFTGjDR72i4?...

"If the Government of Canada can’t be bothered to do the easy things, to preserve the most basic sense of principle and dignity in the face of glaring red line offenses, then we can’t possibly trust it with the more difficult and complex issues." emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/is-canada-...

Canadians will you fight like Ukraine or sit idle and become Belarus - a vassal state?

Last night, Toronto Police were blitzing working delivery cyclists and ticketing them for parking on the road AND on the sidewalk (in front of food pick up spots on Yonge). 2 hours later one of the ticketed cyclists captured a pic of officers on a Timmies run while parked in a bike lane. No tickets.

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X? I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets 34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs 3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

Have no idea about hockey but omg - the skill she has

I was going to let it simmer until Monday, but Saturday night when the easterners are in bed is really the optimal time to post, right? Here's what Canada should do about history's most prolific child pornographers.

We cannot allow the Iranian people to feel abandoned. The West must step in and provide the support they ask for to achieve victory over the Fascist-Islamist regime.

russian in a background: “oh look at those one timers. Even singing. Happy. It is okay, we will send them to assault. They will sing differently” One timer = cannon fodder for a single assault.

One more thing: russian girls also collect money for their luxury lifestyle in the West, which they hate so much🙂

Americans look at russia and like “what if we do like them but bigger! Bolder!” Very blatant, not even trying to cover it up anymore.

Ukrainians in Canada looking at Alberta "Independence" movement. "Shit, here we go again"

atproto-posts-timeline.vmois.dev vibe coded it in 1 hour maybe (dev + deploy on Cloudflare) using Claude Code and ChromeDev Tool MCP (to test the page). Basic static page with AlpineJS for UI, everything done in-browser. Using public BlueSky API, I assume it will cover the whole ATProto network.

Absolutely horrible video but you have to watch it. The "officers" really look like thugs. It really reminds me of the "plain clothes" thugs operating in Belarus or the armed gangs killing people on behalf of Yanykovych in Kyiv during EuroMaidan.

Did Boston Dynamics just put a final nail in a coffin of tesla(bot)? Or at least one of the last ones.

Is there any ATProto tool that allows to view posts for PDS by time (e.g show my posts on Jan 2025, etc.)? Kudos if it has a nice calendar/timeline interface. If not, I might build something similar. Needed it a few days ago for some random stuff.

TIL Modular docs have llms.txt file - docs.modular.com/llms.txt . Makes it easier for agents to find up-to-date info in realtime on e.g. Mojo. The format is based on llmstxt.org. Interestingly, the reason this format exists is a small context window of models. Not sure it is true anymore.

Translation: US military kidnaps Maduro -> Maduro is illegally in US -> ICE deports Maduro to Venezuela -> Maduro is back in Venezuela (repeat in circle)

Translation: “Maduro just needed to raise a russian flag and then USA wouldn’t know what to do”

Watched the latest Avatar. Looking at how every humanoid creature on Pandora speaks English, I assume, British got there way before corporations / Americans. Brits wanted to colonise that planet so much they sailed on wooden ships into the space in 18th century.

Watched the latest Avatar. The thesis is pretty much the same. “Do not bring bow to a gunfight unless you have a super organism fighting for you”

Everyone says how amazing it is to speak many languages. What they do not say is that you *understand* someone and cannot stop it. I do not want to understand some random people discussing their problems in a coffee shop (noise cancelling not working). Sometimes not speaking languages is blessing.

The sheep (me) follows the herd (the rest of you here): This year on Bluesky I wrote 220 posts and 373 replies. I received 1,079 likes, whereas 73 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "not" and 😅! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

8.5 months. Still ~383000UAH needed. Or ~ 9120$. Or ~7753€. Still a lot. I hope this fundraiser will be closed before it hits a year. A year that the truck would be helping the unit instead.

Just in case you missed it, I recently did a video on my combat gear that I wear on the missions as a Drone Pilot in Ukraine's Army. Many people asked, so I did the video and included all the links for you. Might be helpful both for future soldiers and for understanding combat!

OMG. Toronto library has a subscription with O'Reilly. So, I can access 2nd edition of "Designing Data Intensive Applications" now! Otherwise, the book will only be broadly available in Feb 2026. I read parts of the 1st edition and it is a gold mine of information. It inspired my BSc thesis.

If Stranger Things S3 happened in NYC, the rats there would eat this pathetic creature in a jiffy

First attempt to put a makeshift dipole antenna for 6m on a balcony for RX-only SDR failed to hear any contact (but it seems it was working because some signals were there). Could be because it was 2AM at night, interferences, plus not precise build. A lot of things to read on and improve.

Randomly got my hands on “The Libertarian Mind” 2025 edition book. Oh boi, let’s see how it goes.

A public database of ice, ice agents, DHS, etc. Has now been built and it's entirely outside of the US and US government reach.

Alternate timeline in Stranger Things S2 where Dart eats so much nougats that it becomes diabetic, requires insulin but cannot afford because no health insurance.

The presumption here, that Canadians inherently owe some sort of duty to the American president which has been betrayed, is just '51st state's with an undergraduate degree. The speed and width of assuming Canada is not a real country should concern us all.
