The enshittification continues

Just clued in that Reddit was automatically translating a Quebec content subreddit into English. I was so confused why people were using words and constructions that only made sense in French. Like so much of tech this should be opt-in, not opt-out after. Crisse de traduction de marde.

One of my proudest pieces, "Isometric Exercise"

Last Jays game I went to Ponce tore his ACL, today Springer fractured his toe

whenever people announce they're taking a break from bluesky, it's usually because they're astronauts experiencing a mandatory communications blackout as they re-enter earth's atmosphere. that's why they always come back in six minutes

Oh I think Roberta Bondar just said "Welcome home Jeremy" as Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen returns home

Orion right before splashdown! Amazing!

These red and white chutes deploying look like jellyfish

What a beautiful shot of the earth on re-entry

Ohh what a dream

A sad thing is when you try to imagine how it could be better, many people resist. But, oh, it could be amazing, and I will never lose hope we can change things

this wikipedia editor is orbiting the moon right now!

My very Canadian brain insists on saying A24 like May Two-Four, and will not be convinced otherwise, I'm hoser-pilled I guess

Literally us, the Blue Jays. Never fails to get a guffaw outta me

Yeah that’s cool

Thing about being a writer is it actually means being a thinker. So if you outsource your thinking, you lose the right to call yourself a writer. Many of us enjoy the pleasures of thinking!

Today this kid, couldn't have been older than six, walking down the sidewalk, dragging his feet behind his father, saw me waiting on the other side of the road and pressed the button for the walk sound signal. He kept looking back to see when I could cross. Kids are sure neat.

What a fucking shot holy shit

There really is a lot of stuff up there in orbit www.theguardian.com/science/ng-i...

OMG AI WORKS SO GOOD IT'S CAUSING BRAIN FRY. Ok but that concept already exists and it's called "having too much on your plate" and it's a result of re-doing all the code AI is doing because it doesn't actually work, so let's all take a breath. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

*sighs. yes, i rode a bicycle to work today

I can't even get on to the site to pre-register for the Celine Dion residency ticket lottery, which is just as well because at this rate there will be no airplane fuel left by September anyway

The vibes have turned very rancid at this Jays game but the season is long and there's lot of baseball ahead

Not thrilled about that Rockies homer

Another Springer Dinger

That slip on the mound must have effected Ponce's leg in that stumble. Hope it's not too serious

Another walkoff win, thanks Ernie Clement

We're in the 11th inning now of this Jays game, I am getting flashbacks

A Quebec online network of booksellers is expanding into Anglo Canada with Booksellers.ca. You can buy books from indies across the country and - helps the stores compete against Amazon et al. Quebec again leading the way on supporting homegrown culture www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

GOOOOAAAALLLL Newfoundland and Labrador’s Liam Hickey ties the game just a short time ago. It’s now 1-1 in the second period of this gold medal game.

Watching them try to patch up the ice, lotta questions about what is going on with the ice surface

Incredibly, my heart is still beating

The crowd has woken up again, hope Seth Jarvis's friends are doing shots, let's go baby

GOALLLL

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Megan OLDHAM!!! The second gold of these games for Canada in women's freeski big air. Moment d'or!!

Literally ,we are gasping in the meeting room, that Malinen fell in his free skate... omg another one

A bronze medal for Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, the first medal for Canada in Ice Dance since 2018. Congrats to P&P!!

Love transit nerds, like I said... this post is it haha

Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier are currently in first place in Ice Dance Free Dance!.. With only two teams left to skate, USA's Chock and Bates and France's Fournier Beaudry and Cizeron .... so we're guaranteed a medal but I hope it's gold

Norway's sweaters are the most wearable item of the Olympics to me. Here's Birk Ruud, he won ski slopstyle gold today, and here he is getting a hug from US skier Alex Hall, the gold medallist in Beijing

Really love watching the drone shots these Olympics, they barely keep up with the alpine skiiers and you really get a sense of how fast the short track speed skaters go...

no eres mis casa bonita no eres mis esposa bonita

Just came across the wires, Lindsey Vonn has had surgery on a left leg fracture after her crash in the women's downhill. What an awful outcome, would have loved to see her ski uninjured and make the podium.
