Me, every day at 2pm: "I actually ate something at noon so why am I so hungry I could fall over?"

Every other millennial I've ever worked with: "We're just going to skip lunch so we can get this shit done by end of day, right?"

The jays having one good inning and then spending three hours holding everyone hostage while they waste any and all goodwill is the energy Toronto brings to this nation, I just want Americans to know this

Do umpires get overtime?

Okay. 15 more innings before we seal this thing now.

That’s not a ceasefire

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight across the Palestinian territory that killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials.

1000%. My partner is one of many staff being moved away from developed expertise (ironically, partly, in helping community members lacking in digital literacy) to different branch locations with different responsibilities. I expect they’re hoping many will quit, with precisely the designs you say.

Read this thread! If there was a real threat that wasn’t coming from inside the house, the WRPS should be investigating it. This is about an unnecessary funding hike and the community deserves a refund.

On Tuesday Oct 19th, 2SLGBTQIA+ events and programming were cancelled out of an abundance of caution based on information received by Waterloo Region Police Services. These details have been relayed publicly by the organisations that were contacted. There is no ongoing investigation at this time 1/

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

The symbolism of Canada's only baseball team playing in the World Series in the Year of our Lord "51st State" 2025 is too perfect to not happen.

I don’t even like baseball and I’m on edge. #OkayBlueJays?

My wish: that austerity in the arts leads us to better storytelling, where the text and the actor become the greatest source of spectacle, where box office shifts from delight and amazement to being warmly held in togetherness with emotional complexity.
