I wish Paul Bearer were still around. That’s the kind of WWF Superstar manager energy we need for the next completely normal, never a waste of everybody’s time, successful negotiation.

It would have to go into escrow nobody would trust him to cough up.

Well shoot if Firefox goes I guess we’re back to carrier pigeons and smoke signals.

We eat more eggs than a few years ago because they’re proportionately cheaper sources of protein as beef and chicken have gone up.

At this point I trust my leaders to do the right thing if and when tariffs ever come. I don’t need to give myself whiplash reading every stupid thing the idiot says.

I like the energy but we need Americans to clean up their own yard while it’s still safe to do so.

Nut jobs think that they’re the majority because they are behaving boorishly in public and nobody is holding them to account. The quiet majority needs to organize and show them that undesirable actions have proportional and consistently negative consequences.

That could mean a lot of things. Big things like being a trans ally and showing up for demonstrations. Small things like not inviting your MAGA uncle to family occasions. But things they must be. The jackboots are winning because people are typing anger into a box then staying home to shop and watch Netflix reality TV.

I see the length and the first few words and I just skip these now. The anger isn’t worth the read because you can’t even trust that he’ll do what he even threatens to do.

Maybe the animosity with the US will mean less travel and disease import from people crossing the border.

Anyways, these poor kids. And the 12% that got it after vaccination kills me.

That’s par for the course here. If they were being altruistic all of the sudden then I’d start to be concerned.

I hope they come back. These other platforms are getting enshittier and enshittier by design.

Explicit? Hardly. Just two good pals suckin’ toe.

Why use a browser?

Just learn how to parse raw HTTP responses. That’s all a browser does, with less protection.

Ukraine first and hopefully Canada soon after.

Then why is Angus on CNN and sponsoring these Musk petitions? As party leader that should be him.

Short term pain for long term gain, I hope. The more he makes life miserable and expensive for highly skilled workers the more likely we’ll achieve a reverse brain drain.

They’re going after women’s autonomy and trying to roll back gay marriage. Imagine if even 5% of those doctors moved to our side of the border.

Part of the reason why I’ve recommended US based services to my Canadian clients was because of its speed due to proximity. Now that net neutrality has been gutted and ISPs are free to artificially slow down their services a la carte, the speed advantage is questionable. Now I recommend services in Canada where I find them and European alternatives when no closer ones are available.

The Day the World Stops Shoppong examined this and found that it doesn’t take a whole lot of concerted action to tank the consumption economy.

Buy nothing days are good but less good if you return to regular habits and redouble your consumption after the boycott is over.

My kid has been enjoying “Auntie Dolly’s” free Imagination Library books since he was born. In Canada. That woman is a treasure.

Whichever party can promise another season or two of Anne will secure the majority government.

I always thought the only reason they can choose to charge so much is because countries respected pharmaceutical patents. In a trade war the PM could just say that they won’t be enforcing any domestic generic drug copies.
