"You can’t pay for anything by card anymore. That stopped being a thing in the 2030s. The Data Lord doesn’t take AmEx. It’s half a pint now, or a full pint every two months, and you’re on a monthly plan. Hold your arm out, and I’ll get the tourniquet." buff.ly/mI21wrK

Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to launch a witch hunt against Canada's public health heroes - just like MAGA is doing with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Poilievre offers nothing to Canadians except warmed over crap from the American extreme right.

It’s time for Pete “Chucklehead” Hoekstra, the American ambassador to Canada, to get the f**k out of our country. 1️⃣ Sign the House of Commons petition at b.link/chucklehead 2️⃣ Download this artwork at chucklehead.todmaffin.com and put it on shirts, signs, or whatever you want.

A good read, interesting characters, fun plot. I’m excited to get into the second volume. #infinitygate #scifi #booksky

Just read A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers, #2 in the Monk and Robot series. Charming, hopeful, philosophical sci-fi. Interesting takes on meaning, purpose, nature, religion and technology. I hope for more like this. 4/5 #beckychambers #booksky #aprayerforthecrownshy #monkandrobot
