The irony of Donald posting this after he pardoned a bunch of them.

Hitting snooze for the 7th time is the most honest expression of self.

Radical self-acceptance. Pure awareness of need.

Thanks to the Raccoon Society for the inspiration. Go buy some of their merch. It’s all wonderfully weird. theraccoonsociety.com

Move every professional conference to other countries.

We need more positivity in this world, so I grabbed a domain and published peptalkgenerator.com - go there if you need a little pick-me-up. #positivity #peptalk #yougotthis

Ditched Meta products, except for chat. Sadly can’t live without those (Messenger and WhatsApp) otherwise I have no way of contacting people.

💩-ter

Everyone seems to recognize this, but because it’s the politicians that make the most noise, they garner the most attention through hate and/or vehement support. They are the ones weaponizing hate to distract from the oligarchs who thirst for money and power that will never be quenched.

They’re all bought and sold. The winds of change just change who they influence with their money. Countries don’t serve their constituents (though I’m sure some individual elected officials do), they serve the oligarchs.

We need to stop fighting each other, stop serving and idolizing the puppets.

Politics is the Matrix: it’s the wool that been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth that you are a slave. Fighting for scraps and fighting each other to distract you from the real enemy, those in power, those with wealth, the oligarchs. Doesn’t matter who you vote for…

Welcome to the platform @firefox.com

I think if Drumpf said he would bomb Canada, Danielle Smith would still suck up to him. #cdnpoli

Let’s make one thing clear: Kevin O’Leary doesn’t care about Canada. He’s belligerent and doesn’t care about people. It’s all a ratings and/or power grab.

Get out of our politics like you got out of our country.

Yeah. That’s more in line with what I meant. If Matt holds on to the name for dear life, let the name die. Someone, with the support of the community, should fork and rename. I’m betting on the Community Collective.

If Matt won’t step away, maybe it needs to die.

This is par for the course of the dumbing down of North American society. It proceeding apace as planned. Or at least those in power are taking advantage of the situation.

Selfish and fighting each other is better than selfless and fighting toward common good.

Get a Bachelor in my field (and most likely breeze through it, but at a bigger cost than other options) and get a Master’s in Education; or could I get a Bachelor in Education Studies followed by MEd? Looking for people in IT and others too. Thanks all!

Question for those in #academia: new goal is to become a full time prof, the institution that I want to work for requires a Master’s degree. I have the equivalent in Canada of an Associate’s Degree. I have 15 years of experience and only about 1 year of teaching. Do I:

I think it’s time I face reality that I need reading glasses. #oldMan #theFontIsTooSmall

Future proofing a phone system that largely hasn’t changed fundamental inner workings in 100+ years. Spoofed numbers, spam calls, etc is all exploiting a system the owner/oligarchs don’t want to spend money to upgrade.

Why is there no SPF, DKIM, or DMARC for phone numbers? I'm SO done with criminals spoofing my number :(

Deleted Facebook from my phone. The crap being injected into my timeline, the rage-based algorithm, and Meta’s leaning into AI content has become too much. That and doomscrolling reels. Keeping my account for friends to contact me though.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Guys!

I'm going to create a browser extension.

It will offer people coupons during checkout but - ha ha ha - it'll only work maybe half the time but 100% of the time it will surreptitiously open a tab to take credit for the sale regardless of the user's path to checkout.

Brilliant right??

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

MM: “Well come out of this stronger than ever.”

Minion: “Sir, the troops are rallying against you!”

MM: “…stronger than ever, yes…”
