"Overall, the mud is awash with clues." - Donald Canfield Unarguably true, regardless of context
If Canada gives up the ability to regulate digital platforms in the name of regulatory "alignment" with the United States, in exchange for lowering tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles, it's difficult to overstate how much of a catastrophic defeat that would be for us.
Carney tables a bill to okay widespread use of banned pesticides. Dozens of Canada's civil society's health and environmentat organizations all band together, combining their voices to call for the bill to be withdrawn. It changes as much a fart in the wind. 8/ preventcancernow.ca/groups-denou...

Carney supporters desperate to pivot every conversation to Poilievre tell us that at least the libs listen and the cons don't, but the evidence for this is zero. "Public consultation" is barely theatre at this point. They'll allow public comments, but only the super naive pretend they listen. 6/
This goes a long way to explain the disconnect between people feeling poorer and economists claiming the opposite. Even if my income rises faster than inflation, my real spending power decreases if everything I buy falls apart faster than it used to
Dr. Damien P. Williams, dread portent down from a mountain cave@wolven.blacksky.app · 4w agoI remember when someone tried to argue with me about this on here, saying it was survivorship bias, and not my own comparisons of the same brands' material quality and stitching over the past 30+ years. Anyway, yes shit is actually more poorly made now than it used to be even a short while ago.

Here goes fam, let's see if Wellbutrin will help with both depression and ADHD and also not try to suffocate me in my sleep! For those keeping score - cyprilex was amazing for depression but gave me sleep apnea and dexedrine worked wonders for almost 20 years but now it makes me grumpy af
I'm so glad that leadership across Canada has come together in this horrific moment to pour public resources into rapidly building oil pipelines

Canada is not working together to confront the wildfire crisis
A public inquiry into forest fires is needed to understand how our governments can deal with such disasters moving ahead – particularly for Indigenous communities on the front lines

So many things I didn't pursue in my 20s and 30s because I couldn't answer "what's the end-game for this?" Now I play drums, paint minis, and write poetry (among other hobbies) because I like to, I don't need to see a path to income or recognition for justification
Gretchen McCulloch@gretchenmcculloch.com · last mo.One of the great joys of my adult life has been realizing that I can just pick up a new skill every so often, take a fun little class in it weekly for a year or two, and simply enjoy meeting people and getting medium proficient and not attempting to become professional in it at all!
Finally converted to Linux! Decided to enter grad school with a computer that won't try to force feed me ai or store my work on a corporate cloud

I still make all my terrain with popsicle sticks, foam, and glue. It's fun! It looks good enough and never upstages the minis! Most importantly, it's fun!
THE LAST (AUTUMNAL) OMNITECT@thelastomnitect.bsky.social · last mo.I'm so glad I have a copy of this book. This book is a hole in the fence of the walled garden GW has tried forced our hobby into. Make your own shit. Models, terrain, whole games. Wargaming was always greater than "Warhammer", and you can grow by seeing what lies beyond GW's cozy/expensive-walls.
150 incredible entries that all deserve to be library mascots!

My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are
