Tech leaders ready launch of Canadian social-media platform Gander to buck U.S. dominance Founders aim to create alternative that addresses content, data sovereignty concerns

It’s not lost on us that a new social platform isn’t exactly top of mind. Tech execs joining the U.S. military. More war.

And here we are, grateful for everyone with us in this moment. A social platform isn’t all that social without good people supporting it.

Scraped knees,
Scuffed shoes,
Sun-kissed faces:
We really knew how to live way back then,
when the color of my shorts
were ‘grass-stain green’
and the sky was nothing
but blue.

The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earth’s magnetic fields, defying the odds

Faux news knows

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Saw a post by a guy who didn't vote in Nov.

Excuse was that he didn't agree 100% w' either candidate.

Allow me, with the perspective of age and many many elections, suggest to him and any Canadians like him:

You will never agree 100% with any candidate unless you run yourself.

Just vote dammit.

If only our biggest concern was getting out for walks and getting belly rubs…

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

How is it that non-MAGA leadership are all sitting on their hands spouting stats instead of rolling up their sleeves and taking on this joke of a “president”? Taking the high road doesn’t work with these people. Get in there and fight. The world is depending on it.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Sounds like a good read. Honestly, I despair of the human race - always chasing the New Shiny Thing.
