Hey millennial women: You know that absolute dog shit amount of skinny / looks propaganda we went thru? It’s being aimed at young men now. At a rapid pace which drugstore checkout Britney tabloids could never compete. Do not leave them behind.

I went to Twitter HQ in San Francisco years ago & they had this in a framed triptych on the wall. ❤️

Same. There was something that felt really radical about having a TV hero whose superpower was not just intelligence but thoughtfulness, and a kind of moral seriousness. Who showed from that first episode that you “win” by seeking to understand what seems like a threat.

I am so glad to have learned about the integrity of leadership from Patrick Stewart as a kid watching TNG. "What would Picard do?" feels like a fair guiding question. Thank you, Patrick, for everything.

Probably just a coincidence that as we invest more than A BILLION DOLLARS into job stealing AI, Carney’s government just also voted against protecting the right to strike 🤔

Products have been awesome. But it’s time to move on

519,235 Canadians voted for Alberta to leave Canada. 532,201 Canadians voted for Olivia Chow has mayor of Toronto. Which is a fun statistic.

What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

A/C repair tech at our house: “Sooo, what’s with all of the Monkey Island stuff?” Boy, was he surprised.

Anyway Toronto please *violent hacking coughs* Toronto please vote today, I really wanted to do GOTV canvassing but *30-second string of doubled-over coughs* anyway this election is super important, Chou is significantly threatened and her opponent looks worse than just going back to John Tory

LRT: boy do I feel this with computer stuff. "Why won't the IT guy teach me how to do this thing in Excel?" I don't use Excel! I can't tell you how to do that because it has nothing to do with keeping your employer's infrastructure running!

It's not being mean or withholding to not want to do free labor for people, and even more so not being mean or withholding to simply not have the skills to teach

After the oligarchs retreat into their fortified bunkers and force us to "thin the herd" by fighting for limited resources, I hope we can still be friends 🖤

someone left a carrot under a box propped up by a stick and when i went under the box to grab the carrot the stick got pulled away by a string and the box fell on me. i’m stuck in here now and the carrot is dirty because it was on the ground

[flustered costanza voice] george is walkin' away from omelas!!!

I took a wander to the wonderful Merrill Collection at the Toronto Public Library to finally read a bit of this rare @catvalente.bsky.social number. When the librarian was getting it for me, they said, "Ooooh, it's a Subterranean!" (Which is to say a @subpress.bsky.social book. Made me smile.)

It's my birthday. My birthday wish is that you make something today. A sketch or a poem or a little piece of code. A cake. A joke. A clever piece of joinery. That you revel, even just for a small moment, in the act of creation. It's what we've got.

E.T. I would have been four or five, and I fell asleep.

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them

“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

Sorry still thinking of $1,200-$1,800 dollar console just conceptually. Those are Real Computer numbers. You can just get a real computer for that kinda cash. The entire premise of the console is “this is a baby computer you don’t control but it’s standardized and affordable” but they can’t do that.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

John Tory made a big deal of riding the subway to city hall every morning – a total of four stops. And that didn’t result in anything.

Every time Bradford castigates Chow for not riding transit on a daily basis, I wonder if he really thinks she should be taking the streetcar four stops for the sake of making a point.

Friends, like everyone else in the industry I'm looking for work. Details:

it's wild how the world would be orders of magnitude better in about 15 minutes if we just impoverished about 15 specific people

You can definitely blame Apple for exacerbating this by removing the 3.5mm audio jack from their products, the result being that cheap $5 earbuds at the corner store are no longer a thing, but lots of people are just plain selfish.

Prince Caspian@nysea.bsky.social · last wk.

Public transit is not your living room. Buy headphones. I don't want to hear your podcast. I don't want to hear your YouTube. I don't want to hear your god awful music. Nobody does. Just an absolute collapse of being functional adults in public.

boss: sleep alright? me: a great curtain was pulled back and behind it was a massive bleeding engine that was the heart of creation boss: did it run on love or death? me: i don't think it ran on anything at all boss: huh well pallets will be here in 20

"The professionals who show up every day for our most vulnerable neighbours aren’t prolonging the crisis. They’re building trust and saving lives while the system catches up. Blaming them isn’t just unfair, it’s dangerous; it divides us at exactly the moment we need to come together" buff.ly/IFiGafg

Harm reduction is the bridge to recovery from addiction
