The BS, probably #AISlop generated, non-response-response from the Minister of Child Pornography Dissemination.

A positive, they aren't giving "Grok" agency by referring to it as a person.

So, I think it's a matter of age.

I distinctly remember a teacher in Elementary School who called static storage "Winchesters", 5.25's "floppies", and 3.5's "hard disks", the latter two of which were a subset of "diskettes" which meant transportable storage.

Now […]

@mayintoronto Yeah, I live in Rural Ontario where, yeah, basically every long-term parking spot has a 120v outlet that is connected to their units meter.

Off the top of my head, ads in schools ("come meet X sports person, sponsored by Rogers" on a white a red banner), "good will", probably some tax write offs...

Are they seriously contemplating invading? No, probably not. That is probably the troll — but it's a bit of theatre designed to spur a pro-annexation movement in Greenland. (Not unlike Putin's efforts to foment anti-Europe sentiment in Ukraine, pre-2022.)

For perspective, Doug is the same (and only) premier whose message to Canada's Indigenous community has been:

'They gotta stop coming cap-in-hand.'

This upon Doug and his corporate co-conspirators making clear their intent to rip the mineral wealth out from under the province's First Peoples […]

Doug Ford is the inspiration for MAGA. Remember Ford Nation? Remember Doug and Rob refusing to resign despite video evidence of Rob's wrongdoing?
