Classic CBC. "Bill could lead to law enforcement acting more freely in Canada"

How does a US bill lead to this, without Canada actively allowing this? Can we use the active voice? Can we actually use words the way that journalists are supposedly able to?

the thing is we hit that stage in the 90s; now they rent toothpicks

at this point I kind of assume the non-sale prices of big studio games is some sort of arbitrarily-high figure they do just to juke stock prices one way

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

"movie sucks except for one scene" is a very 2000s horror vibe

Chris Huth @umlauthuth.bsky.social · 2d

what greater luxury can there be than to actually do the work that gives you purpose tho

Chris Huth @umlauthuth.bsky.social · 2d

NGL i suspect my definition of luxury would strike you as extremely primitivist in many respects

OTOH we could do manual luxury earth communism if planned obsolescence was eliminated

Does anyone know any primary sources attesting to the belief in changelings (i.e. children switched out by fairies or some other supernatural entity) or attesting to supposed incidents of the phenomenon?

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
