Graphic text: Encountering the Police: Know Your Rights

I find that a lot of Canadians have a shaky understanding of what rights they have when interacting with the police.

Here's a handy guide via Just Peace Advocates:

Yeah yeah no surprise. I realize that grocery prices are directly influenced by trucking costs but the whole grocery industry has been proven a price-fixing cabal on many occasions. Any excuse works.

How to Talk to Someone Experiencing 'AI Psychosis' Mental health experts say identifying when someone is in need of help is the first step — and approaching them with careful compassion is the hardest, most essential part that follows.

this is something we deal with on a daily basis now as reporters. unfortunately I think more and more people are going to find themselves struggling with a friend or family member who is going through "ai psychosis" www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...

Forgive my presumption if this is something you already know but do you know about how to make a pattern fill in photoshop?

Edit> Define Pattern

Très bon texte. Mais ça soulève un point essentiel qui est seulement évoqué à la fin: pourquoi médias et politicien·nes ont-ils un tel décalage avec les points de vue populaires?

À mon avis, ce n'est pas qu'ils «se fourvoient», c'est qu'ils nous dominent en nous isolant. It's a feature, not a bug.

Hey now, as a Canadian I'd like to remind you that in the War of 1812 the United States invaded Canada and were repelled without gaining any Canadian territory, our status as allies is definitely conditional. Don't be bombing us for any weird shit Trump does haha

Yeah, that was him. I didn't know his joint got torched though. Great barber. Steel comb and a straight razor, nothing else - a real classic, and with excellent banter.

I figure if you're willing to believe in gods & the 'divine spark' you should probably be willing to believe in just about anything.

As a Canadian, I also think Canada should declare being a trans American grounds for refugee claims and repeal the "safe 3rd country" status for the USA.

Firefox is joining the shape() game 🤩

It's a good time for some blobs: css-generators.com/blob/

Or maybe a nice wavy divider: css-generators.com/wavy-divider/

And stay tuned for another generator and more shapes next week! 🤫

Experience Design is about finding the gaps in intent Rather than fighting over vertical ownership, design has the unique opportunity to embrace a horizontal model of decision-making.

Is there a better metaphor for UX design than the fenced-in unicorn?

Wrote this for work so it's a *little* cringe but it's my earnest advice to designers trying to fight PMs for "ownership" of decision-making. There is another (better) way.
