I'm annoyed that the internet is out, but at least Firefox's little error message is cute? 🦊

This is 100% why 🍁 should stay steadfast/strike back financially while strengthening ties w/ other nations for trade. Yes, even China. Our largest trading partner is increasingly our least reliable and most malicious(and has been for a while, tbh).

And other allies should join in lest they be next.

I didn’t leave X because people there had different opinions and ideologies, I left because it stopped being fun. I get on social media to chat with people who think thinking is fun. X stopped being a place where that was true.

Zoomed in from previous screenshot, shows Nick Hilton (PC) declared the elected candidate with 3,663 votes. Zach Churchill (Liberal) in second place with 3,649 votes. 

Number of polls reported: 37/37
Number of registered electors: 14,447
Total number of valid votes cast: 7,585
Total number of rejected: 29
Total number of declined: 1
% of voter turnout: 52.71%

What happened to Zach Churchill being up 5,005 votes to Nick Hilton's 5,000? How are they both now at 3,600?

Wish I had a screenshot of last night showing over 70% voter turnout in Yarmouth, because that's NOT what the results show now

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is."

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"
