“We want stability for postal workers, our families, and the public who depend on us. But Canada Post seems hell bent on making workers’ pay for the financial crisis it created and trying to turn the public against the very workers who keep this service alive.” globalnews.ca/news/1146285...

Today I learned that between 1935 and 1939, Newfoundland (pre-confederation) sold three million tonnes of iron ore to Nazi Germany. www.communitystories.ca/v2/wwii-came...

There can only be one hopeless romantic in a relationship and uh it's not me but I try my best!

When I was 13 my French class did a field trip to Quebec City to practice French and our universal experience was every time we tried to speak French to a local, they'd respond in English.

Okay, so it's been a while. I have a domain redirecting to another domain. It's all set up, but it only works if http:// or www. is in front of the domain, so if someone just types the address without one of those, it gives an ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Do I have to shell out for SSL for that to work?

The voice clip of George Bush I in the song "Loser" always cracks me up

The Beastie Boys suck so hard, and also I love them. Sabotage rules.

So the US military will be enforcing very strict standards of fashion and grooming, but cyber security? Nah. Sounds whimpy. Can't see how that'd be relevant today.

It's a perfect spooky month book you guys. #booksky #horror #monsterromance

I played this scenario! Helped test it out! It's a great one, especially if you're nostalgic for 90s style horror settings that have a touch of the X-files to them.

Delapore Media's vampire horror scenario for the CALL OF CTHULHU RPG is 60% Off! "Somebody Think of the Children" is a great one-shot for Halloween horror gaming with a retro 90s setting, goth kids, and church moms. Use this link for your discounted copy: tools.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?d...

All these posts that are like "of course this is just my little smol bean opinion, you probably have your own! And that's valid!" is so tiresome, and never seems to stop people from raging anyhow. You have your opinion because you think others are wrong, otherwise you'd have those. Move on.

Me trying to give @jekeep.bsky.social a complement: I really like your ribcage. It's the perfect size and density and texture. It has great structure.

Social media puts pressure on people to be everything, all the time. I'm just some weird author man, I'm not required to provide innocent-until-proven-guilty stances like I'm a judge. I don't have to couch my words like a politician. I don't pretend to have the solution to everything. Free yourself

100% of Keeps agree, it was 10/10.

The moon last night was phenomenal. Bright and beautiful, illuminating a patch of the choppy black sea in a way that was haunting and majestic. 10/10 evening. No pictures, pictures could not do it justice.

Good morning.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say: yes.

Everything else aside, rejecting political and religious themes is a foundational rejection of why we tell horror stories.

Lovely, Dark, and Deep was compelling but I'm having a hard time reconciling decades of trauma and guilt, and sharing that guilt with Zheng, and then making the decision she did. I usually don't struggle with understanding contradictory or complex moral choices but not sure what to make of it.

Wish I had the supreme sense of security that people who walk around with both earbuds in do.

That line reads like the opening of an incel's "3DPD" rant. And it's from a goddamn economics professor.

Just saw an erotic book that used the term 'piss flaps' in the title and I literally recoiled from my computer.

You can do whatever you want, but authors don't meticulously craft stories for the purpose of starting at any random point. That's not how it works. Usually the ending means nothing without the rest! This lunatic runs bluesky. Which explains a lot a lot the piss poor direction it's taking.

Incredibly brave and selfless act. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I think you're a great poster :)

Researchers out of Japan have measured the physical impacts of long COVID on the brain, and found it's comparable to the damage from diseases such as dementia. "Brain fog" is a real thing.

Not sure how I'll get the card with the Canada Post strike going on... Anyone have any idea?

I am demonstrably a bad poster. Yet I am somehow just four followers away from 4,000. Make it make sense.

Ulg so anyways seems I'm going to have to just report this as fraud and get a new credit card because twitter won't allow me to delete the credit card from their system.

We know that interacting with ai gives a certain percentage of adults psychosis. We also know that relying on ai to write or solve problems results in actual measurable brain damage. So why not let very little kids use it unmonitored? What could go wrong?

“The approach that we are taking is that we will co-operate with China where we can, but challenge them where we must.” India, who is killing Canadians in our own streets, gets access to our law enforcement. But we're going to "challenge" China for vague accusations CSIS didn't think worth action.

Podcast: Trump promises shutdown will not impact essential U.S. government services like Bombings and Coups

So many progressives seem lost & confused--even adapting harmful views--because they lack a coherent ideology. They've bought into the idea all "isms" are bad. So they react to every awful development without a framework for understanding or fighting it. They unknowingly adopt the neoliberal default

Reminder that the Guardian has sold out to OpenAI and is going to keep running pieces to manufacture a market. bsky.app/profile/ptrt...

Twitter really needs that fraudulent $11.50 they stole from us.

Among the forgotten 35 million victims of Japanese imperialism, are some westerners also subjected to the same cruel 'scientific experiments' as Chinese. Japan has never actually apologized or made amends in any way, and continues to suppress education of their horrific war crimes.

Seinfeld - The Old Man (1993)

They're burnt on the outside but frozen on the inside so it balances out!

Canada's digital service tax is only retroactive to 2022 and doesn't include 2016-2018, the years we wasted $140.63 on twitter ads and I'll be damned if $11.50 of our money is going to mechahitler. Will be doing a chargeback if they don't reverse.

"Now a key administration figure has highlighted a very real problem vexing both nations... suggesting terrorists are originating from China, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa." This is not a "real problem", good lord CTV. This is pure delusional fiction. Chinese terrorists? Gimme a damn break.

A central banker was a terrible choice for this moment of history. Better than PP? Sure, clears that exceptionally low barrier. But Carney is a man whose training and life experience is all tied to a dead financial order. And now he's begging the man who killed it to give it back, and he never will.

Twitter must be hard up for cash since they just stole $11.50 from us for ads we never ran on a credit card that expired 6 years ago.

The world is horrible and wonderful. There is misery whether you want it or not, but there's also joy to be found and clung to. And even in the depths of misery there can be meaning to life.

Dental Plan!

Where's all the Musk morons rawdogging robots on Mars?

Also if I used this stock photo as a book cover, I wouldn't be able to publish it basically anywhere without it getting blocked or adult dungeoned. The standards for indie authors is so high I can't even have a woman adjusting a shoulder strap on Amazon for erotica.

Galling point of western political discourse: countries freeing themselves from western imperialism are 'failures' if they don't achieve instant western middle class standards of living for everyone out of the ruins of colonialism. Even as we embargo and wage war on them.

I love how they decided to use ❌before everything because it really does describe the democratic platform if you translate ❌ into 'no'.
