I feel morally correct doing this.
After my sons surgery on Friday, I can safely say, kids are the toughest of us all. ❤️💪
I give myself exceptions to avoiding American products - and today is one of them. Hitting up Jimmy John's on Ellice. I hope it's just like the states. 🙏🏻😂🤤

Mark Zuckerberg is introducing a feed that's just 100% AI slop. No pesky creativity from real people to get in the way. Eat up little piggies

When people have their basic human needs met, it frees up their lives for creativity, ingenuity, and enterprise.

Imagine the potential that could be unlocked if everyone was guaranteed basic shelter and basic income?

Well the good news is, now that he’s indicted one of his political enemies on bullshit charges, he’ll probably stop, and it definitely won’t escalate from here.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.

He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."

You know what? I take it back. I’m going to be excited, *and* I’m going to believe Valour is playing next year.
The rush of the FC Supra announcement is starting to ebb, and I’m left on the same sticking spot as many other people… tell us that Valour FC will play next year, @cplsoccer.bsky.social, and then I’ll be excited.

Solidarity with the postal workers.

The proposed cuts - the mere idea of eliminating the century-old foundational idea of "getting mail at your home", all because Canada Post doesn't "turn a profit like a business" - should be embarrassing for us as a country
I don't get much mail either - but I will miss my mail-woman, she is awesome, friendly and always has a treat for our dog, haha.

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.
"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.
nah you guys can keep him, don't even worry about it

Remember that the Trump Administration demands you idolize these agents and not condemn them.

But they’re Gestapo trash.
The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him.

In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."
