Coder, bookbinder, woodworker, umarel. I may not understand the way you identify, but I will fight to the death for your right to be... what? Ok, I don't quite... nm, that's my problem, not yours, and I'm fighting to the death here. LET'S FUCKING GO!
@hildur.bsky.social For ask an Icelander day, I want to ask: "are Icelanders this dumb?"

If George Soros really wants to put money on the other side of the scale, he should just open a company selling incredibly dangerous, high-end luxury items, and watch rich dipshits Darwin themselves. "These new arsenic diamonds glint in a way the normal diamonds don't."
Micah@rincewind.run · 3w agoI hope the new tesla roadster is real and legal because at least one of these dipshits is going to kickflip it into a tree
At some point, if we survive this, there will be a Dr Strangelove-style movie about how Trump and Putin almost destroyed the world because they were constantly being fed false information of impending success by terrified and cowardly underlings.

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.
Great news, @markscrivens.bsky.social : Golden, BC has rescinded its earlier vote to secede from the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) wrt timezones. Rather than align with BC, it will follow the larger district in aligning on ABT. A timezone-creating schism has been averted!
The old line that analytic philosophy is answering questions that come naturally to toddlers via methods that come naturally to lawyers remains undefeated.
noam@noamchompers.bsky.social · last mo.It is sorta a funny thing about philosophy that the questions are inherently fascinating and exciting—there’s a reason people wind up talking about this stuff in dorm rooms—and the best methods we have for investigating them involve being as tedious and pedantic and boring as possible

Guys. This Ukrainian grandma picked up a Russian drone waiting for its target and took off the optic fiber spool from it, making the drone useless. I'm speechless. She's amazing. God bless her.
Almost 3 AM in Ukraine. Atis and I are lying in the corridor again. I know in the basement could be safer. But I’m so exhausted I don’t even have The strength to run there anymore. So we lie here. Listening. Waiting. Hoping nothing reaches us tonight.
Ottawa should retaliate for renaming Lake Ontario by renaming America to "The United States of Canada", and then calling it the U.S.C. in all official correspondence and media.
In the history of our two countries, there will never again be a time when the disparity in the quality of leadership between Canada and the United States is so stark.
Rachel Maddow@maddow.bsky.social · 3mo ago“Last spring, I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us. And I promised that that will never, ever happen,” Carney said. “We are keeping that promise. Canada is becoming stronger and less dependent on America.” www.wsj.com/economy/trad...
The Internet at its best: a bystander to an information superhighway car crash digs through the wreckage and reconstructs what actually happened, which is never what people arguing about it in the first place thought it was.
thene@thene.bsky.social · 3mo agoout it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

Ukraine just dismissed both its defense minister and its top general, but the real fight wasn't about personalities. It was about a basic question they couldn't agree on: What does winning the war against Russia actually look like? meduza.io/en/feature/2...
Why Ukraine’s military shake-up is really a fight over how to win the war — Meduza
An unexpected upheaval in Ukraine’s military leadership has ended with the dismissal of both the defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, and the commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi. The outcome…

Thought for the day: It never ceases to amaze me how today's techbros' vision of the future they want defaults to fully automated leopard-face-chomping neo-feudalism rather than fully automated luxury gay space communism.
The numbers are in! 97 American nurses have moved to #VancouverIsland (31 to #Nanaimo hospital alone) in the last year — with 87 more in the pipeline, thanks in part to the Nanaimo Infusion movement. And that's not counting the 18 doctors, radiology techs, speech pathologists, and others.
I need women to start stabbing first and asking questions later.
If we had listened to women like Anita Hill and E. Jean Carroll and Christine Blasey Ford and SO MANY OTHERS we wouldn’t be in this damn mess right now.
