That’s my wife’s Canada Goose feather she got when she filed her Canadian permanent residency application!

I've been working on an article about AuDHD and entrepreneurship for a year and a half now and it's frankly at the point where I may just make a meme or something and call it a day.

Happy Thanksgiving

Tidal Salt @novascotiaseasalt.ca · 11h

This is a trifle. It’s based on a 26 year old Friends episode where someone ruins a dessert. Audrey made it for Canadian Thanksgiving. Chocolate Rice Krispies, green M&Ms, whipped cream. It’s ridiculous. I ate three servings.

Tories are all upset because, after years of bumper stickers and flags, it was Katy Perry who achieved their dreams.

I’m really nervous for this show, already seeing absolutely unhinged responses about it. I feel for the cast and crew who have to put up with all the toxicity while also needing to largely pretend it isn’t real

Honestly with the harassment she’s been subjected to, I’m happy as long as she’s happy

Yeah but their donors would pull the plug and their campaign budgets would disappear. They’re cooked

It’s deranged

I feel like all trailers should begin with “brace yourself”

It’s not too much salt, scatters and breaks apart like dust

I’d put money down they’re relying on a CoPilot model from mid-2024 because it’s cheaper and the IT professional that recommended it is actually just a random dude from a Sackville Tim Hortons

Remember folks, Christian Nationalism doesn’t mean Christians, it means the Chosen Whites.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Apparently this week is the series finale!

Colin Duggan 🇨🇦 @thesaxbygale.ca · 6d

I still refuse to watch or read anything Lord of the Rings or Lord of the Rings adjacent after an elementary school teacher weaponized the Hobbit on me.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Colin Duggan 🇨🇦 @thesaxbygale.ca · 6d

Not that any of them did really, but Iron Man did not age well and Tony Stark as a character still makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

I don't know how they'll stop it all. I've tested some of the functionality and some of these websites (particularly the ones run by small businesses or individuals) are wide open targets

Yeah with the most recent changes from the LLMs to allow users to build AI-assisted software at lightning speed, bad actor accounts are going to spread faster and further than ever

Colin Duggan 🇨🇦 @thesaxbygale.ca · 6d

If you’re unaware of what AI agents and MCPs are, now is the time to catch up because regardless of your position on AI itself, we’re about to be flooded with them (arguably already are) and they’re going to the change the internet in far more profound ways than video generation.

Yeah, it’s an AI troll, they see that the target is catching on and they move on
