Damn tired 🍁

Chronically exhausted public health nurse that probably should have picked a different career. 🇨🇦
Some of my work was quoted in this 404 Media piece about young money-hungry men selling supplements that are now being recalled by the FDA.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 6d agoThis is an insane story about how a bunch of 20-somethings made a ton of AI slop to push supplements for a company that had an FDA recall. Turns out it's not really a supplement company at all; the same bros making the slop own the company. It's a fiction www.404media.co/inside-an-ai...
AI for all my ass. @mark-carney.bsky.social “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage."

This should be the default file photo for every article discussing Carney's pipeline
Julia Levin@jflevin.bsky.social · yesterday1/ Over the weekend -- while Canadians across the country were dealing with raging wildfires and the aftermath of severe flooding and heatwaves -- PM Carney quietly accelerated the timeline on his taxpayer funded pipeline. environmentaldefence.ca/2026/08/04/p...
That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Taylor Farms salad is sold in Canada too. There was a...healthy amount left untouched on the shelf at my local Farm Boy yesterday I would appreciate a slightly more robust approach from CFIA, but perhaps they're still working out which of its 1,371 jobs to cut www.agrunion.com/jobs-cuts-at...

can’t believe our current all-ages literacy crisis is making me a little nostalgic for the pretentious “we publish experimental poetry chapbooks and have strong opinions on Melville and the 1800s fur trade” Literature Boys of my college years in the late 2000s/early 2010s.
It’s super unserious to live to witness our pre-apocalyptic hellworld that went from being a boundless source of infinite sustenance to having a crumbling ecosystem only since the 3rd Industrial Revolution & fix your mouth to say that it is the socialists that are going to kill us all.
I've helped a few women escape dangerous men. That sounds like something a woman does while waiting to get her ducks in a row.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

Maybe creating an economic system that naturally funnels sociopaths into positions of power was a bad thing, actually
Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 4d agoOne of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.
When I tell you these kids are consuming the same amount of nicotine that's in 3-4 packs of cigarettes a day in pouches, it is no exaggeration. I see people vaping the equivalent of twice the nicotine that they would normally consume when smoking in an attempt to quit. Absolutely wild shit.

Weird millennial that's been doing fibre arts in some form since I was 10. Glad to see the kids become interested. It's fun to become not so much a jack of all trades but a hoe of all hobbies.

I live in Hamilton and even I wrote my MP and took the survey. Apart from the effects of pollution, environmental disruption, loss of housing, noise, etc. The whole thing was objectionable based on democratic principles alone.
Shawn Micallef@shawnmicallef.bsky.social · 4d ago🛩️ v 🏖️ People who aren’t used to winning, won. At the same time, people who often win lost for once. The losers are throwing tantrums. Winners should take the win to heart because it truly belongs to them & no one else. My column on this remarkable grassroots mobilization in @thestar.com
If anyone wants to know why the jays won tonight, it's because they always win when I go to the game. You're welcome.
The most infuriating thing about all the Fauci stuff this week is that everyone is past tensing a pandemic that is still happening. Covid is still disabling and killing people.
