My mum is knocking it out of the park as a grandmother in many ways, but one of them is that she has wildcrafted two nice strollers from the curb just in her regular travels, not even looking for them on garbage day or w/e

That is wiiiiild! I fortunately caught it really early by being obsessive about heart stuff and wearing a (newly approved in Canada at the time) continuous BP monitor, so labetalol was all it took to bring it down. But still scary!

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity.

That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

If our little guy ends up somewhere on the spectrum, I’m sure it will be all the Tylenol I took during my pregnancy, and not the fact that both of his parents have ham radio licenses πŸ€ͺ

A cool thing about having a baby is you get to experience the TL at all sorts of weird hours of the night

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

Trump to sign order designating antifa a terrorist organization U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order as soon as Monday designating the antifa movement a "terrorist organization," the White House said, after promising actions targeting left-wing groups following Charlie Kirk's assassination.

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations.

AI-Generated β€œWorkslop” Is Destroying Productivity Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce β€œworkslop”—content that appea...

i usually hate it when business types come up with business neologisms for the noble art of shirking.

but i think i'll let them have "workslop". when your coworker gives you AI work pseudo-product that saves time for him (consistently a him) and takes up yours instead.

Remember when I said Trump’s H-1B policy sounded like a distillation of viral tweets?

I’ve lost count of how many Canadians-in-the-US I’ve talked to about my decision to come home in 2020, but there’s definitely been a huge new wave of late and this will just accelerate things bsky.app/profile/doug...

Napkin math suggests that at a given moment likely 1000 or more of those 300k folks are outside of the US right now 😒

I was in the US long enough that I did pay over a million US in taxes during my time there!

Ok jokes aside this is a fucking nightmare - I didn’t realize when I posted earlier that it applies to *existing H1B-holders as well*

~300,000 US visa-holders are now unable to leave the country without paying this extortionate fee on the way back to the US, where many own homes, have families etc

I feel like the analogy goes both ways on this one, cybersecurity is also a lot like flossing – tedious but necessary

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more.

This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise β€œIf You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”
