Arriving mid-speech is a literal nightmare experience; walking into a gallery with ready-to-socialize energy only to be met with a wall of silent people listening to someone droning on and on
search your camera roll for hell
“You’d be a lot prettier if you smiled”
This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.
Millennials will be the last generation to know how to convert PDFs and think critically
I always suspected the end goal is having us rent intelligence from big tech the way we now only ever rent other intellectual property instead of ownership. You can’t own movies any more and you can’t own knowledge, but you can rent them for limited use
California has rare deep water oarfish beaching themselves as harbingers of doom, but for Ontario this is what we have and it can’t be a good sign
Happy birthday and feel better soon!
