No, this barge isn't delivering Christmas trees.
It ran aground on BC's north coast — the second to have trouble in the region in a month.
The company that operates both barges said it has left. Questions remain about plans to open the region to oil shipping. @thetyee.ca

WTF is with this camera work in the Roughnecks/Rock game? Why do they keep zooming in on one player during play so you can’t see what is happening? It’s ridiculous.

So they worked so much harder, and consumed so much more energy, to produce an AI piece of shit that was so shitty they had to delete it and also delete the evidence of how hard they hard to work to make that massive piece of shit
This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

In case anyone needed another reason to NOT visit the States. JFC.
Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Today is Canada's National Day of Action & Remembrance on Violence against Women. It marks the day in 1989 when 14 women at Polytechnique in Montreal were murdered by an "incel" (Proving that shit has a new name but is an old problem.)
There are vigils across the country today. Please attend one.

Preview of the next thing I'm selling from my collection, Bo Levi Mitchell's last red Stampeders jersey worn on 14 October 2022 versus Hamilton. Might have only been worn on the bench, but still his last red Stampeders jersey! I've enjoyed having it, but it's time to move it on.
