Nice!

Happy to be located in a dark blue place (Canada) Also, what's up Northern Territory? Why aren't you playing nice with the rest of your country?🤔

I have some pretty mixed feelings about block lists (I'm on one for BMW owners. I don't drive), but this one looks useful 😀 bsky.app/profile/eva....

An opposing viewpoint is that Datsun was a way cooler name than Nissan. An opposing viewpoint is not that marginalized folk should be imprisoned or killed to make the right feel more comfortable.

I found the white house account and blocked all the accounts they reposted * and then blocked them. I highly recommend doing the same. No good can come from following, reading or interacting with them * Yes repost. The word skeet is stupid. I'm not against it, I just think it's dumb.

What a shame, the royal rapist has had his knuckles rapped by king chuckles 🙄 www.cbc.ca/news/world/p...

"A group of people who only remember 'the cover was blue' is called a patron."

A very useful tool!

some colleagues have suggested to me that shame is irrelevant because the people on the "other side" don't know or care what "we" (on whatever "this side") think of them. I have...not gotten that impression

Some great news for my neck of the woods!

This is hands down the best Trek fan art I've ever made

It’s a snores d’oeuvres or a snooze-bouche

As has become my thanksgiving tradition, I watched "Home for the Holidays". Still a fun movie 🙂 www.imdb.com/title/tt0113...

If you won't listen to me about the need to boycott @cbsnews.com and Paramount+, maybe you'll listen to John Oliver. youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?...

Just watched Wet Leg on KEXP and by jingo which indie rock boot camp facility have they been holed up in because wow.. youtu.be/zIEZdq_25bs?...

Amazing! Chicago is the one US city I regret never getting around to visiting.

This hasn't been a problem for my family and friends. We've actually discovered some good Canadian brown booze. For the most part we will continue as before, drinking BC wine, beer & gin and my fave Irish whiskey (Bowmore btw)

On a completely unrelated note, I found this on Amazon:

WAY too little, WAY too late! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

When I was a teen in the 80s it was considered very uncool to like country. Johnny Cash was always the exception. Everyone loved him, even the metal heads. In comparison, I think Dylan is a terrible singer (but a great songwriter) and Springsteen is boring.

How the hell did I not just say "screw it" when using Win 3.1? www.pcjs.org/software/pcx...

We're excited to be part of the No Tyrants rally in Vancouver on October 18. Join us and stand in solidarity with our American friends in resistance to rising authoritarianism and Christian Nationalism. www.bchumanist.ca/no_tyrants_2...

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)

Yes, Baker and Taylor is shutting down. Not good news. The big question is how much they owe to publishers: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

If you (like me) are trying to figure out what's happening with the Bluesky meltdown and why the ceo (and other leadership) is a total asswipe, I found this helpful: plutopsyche.medium.com/blueskys-ceo...

Kinda like defending the rights of a pet rock 🙄

I foresee many of their papers going belly up or being shut down. They have already shut down the only newspaper in my city. Check here for papers in your area: www.carpentermediagroup.com/locations/ Oh, and their splash page statements are fucking hilarious!

I had no idea who this is, so I did a reverse image search. AI is the wave of the future kids!

Jay will not, or perhaps CAN not, engage with the users of this place in good faith. because she hates them. she hates trans folks, she hates people of color, she hates the disabled. she hates them because she wanted to build a space to hang out with tech bros and all these people ruined that.

100%! I've unfollowed and blocked people when I've been informed that they are assholes. I do try to vet folks I follow, but it's easy to miss stuff if the person isn't laying it on constantly.

If this site goes full Twitter, I'm giving up on social media. I'm not going to start again for the umpteenth time. Plus what other options are there?

SALSA HEIST

I used to go to the gym every day back in the late 80s. I hated every minute of it. It was painful, and worse than that, it was boring. Now I exercise at home. It's still boring, but at least I can watch tv at the same time (and wear pajamas!)

Tell me how ICE is different from the Gestapo?

I really shouldn't be surprised by this bullshit anymore. One other headline I saw only named her AFTER they named her husband. And this one just says 'former nurse'. She was chief nurse of the NHS. Sigh.

everything is terrible so here's the Muppets channeling Hamilton and bringing me untold joy (via the brilliant brettevansmafrog on insta)

My insurance declined my Ozempic application. I am diabetic, but my numbers aren't high enough and frankly I really want it so I can lose some weight. So this is good news. I'm willing to pay $135 out of pocket, but not the $400 my pharmacy charges now.

If you see this, post a picture from your device without explaining it.

Does the average person even know ranks? I sure don't. I'm 60 and still have trouble remembering that Canadian street cops are constables and not officers. Never mind what military ranks are. (I have / had two retired military people in my extended family. No idea what their ranks were)
