Mostly they stayed in their positions and jobs.

Age verification to access things online (websites, social media apps, games...) put the onus on end users & give the mega-corps so much more juicy personal information to profile users to sell to advertisers.

Piya Chattopadhyay was one of the last journalists to interview here this fall, and while it is relatively short it is a much better piece.

Piya is a gem.

"Revealed preferences": you're working in a job exposed to carcinogens, live with a person who beats you, homeless, addicted to Oxy, are all matters of choice. Monopolies exist because we love the monopolist's product best, not because it's a monopoly.'
So much awful BS says Corey Doctorow.

New column from me at @xtramagazine.com: The premiers violating your Charter rights don't want the courts to weigh in #canqueer #cdnpoli

Not informed enough to understand all the issues- but ISTM that it can't be insisted that there non-ethnic, non-religiously defined country(s) in Israel-Palestine when the countries around it are religious/ethnically defined. FWIW don't think any countries should be defined by religion & ethnicity.

Apple uses its app store control to extract 30 cents out of every dollar spent by its customers in the apps they use...30%.. worldwide tax on news outlets, podcasts..apps and games.
Google plans the same thing for Android phones.

Saskatchewan needs to end government (tax payer) funding of private schools too.

Best to not to pay attention to anything said about building another pipeline that has no private company interested in funding. Cenovus guy said they support but that's about getting gov't to pay for it- corporate welfare. Taxpayers have already paid for Transmountain. No economic case for one.

Provoncial politicians abuse the Charter of Rights and Freedoms "notwithstanding" clause. They're doing it more & more often. For cheap political reasons. The supreme court absolutely needs to rule on limits.

? When ? the info is the judge was possibly intoxicated and had an altercation in Arizona (not while sitting as a judge), details of which come in 2 versions. I thought it might be useful to note that no one is immune from medical conditions- stigma is a problem.

Being educated, smart etc spares no-one from any medical condition, diagnosis, symptoms.

The flowers taste like morrel mushrooms

Looked it up. $18.7 million of Sask exports went to Israel 2024. With $20 more million not fulfilled. Mostly chemicals AFAICS. Don't think there's any expansion.
-- this is, again, politics, not really about trade. He's targetting a particular voter group.

Dandelions flowers fried in butter, garlic & hot peppers. Then flash fry the bitter leaves in basalmic vinegar. Mix. The contrast is like angels shooting arrows through my tongue.

Sardines, pickled herring, gravlax, raw shellfish, and very very goaty cheese. Eat with burnt fermented drinky things and stinky friends.

They didn't dress beautious red & fur when I watched them a couple of months ago. This may be their fancy Star Trek uniforms?

Refine + ship finished petroleum products somewhere else is more expensive than ship somewhere else + refine there. Think it's partly about handling & shipping gasoline & other products versus shipping one thing. Same problem with wheat & flour => baked goods, pasta etc.
(Economics only re this)

AFAIK, shipping refined gas, oil etc isn't economically viable or they'd be doing it.

An excellent, expert series of posts. "In Dec 2024, Universal Ostrich Farms had a confirmed H5N1 outbreak on their remote farm in BC. They did not report to CFIA as required by law. They lost 69 ostriches. CFIA found out anyway & tested 2 dead ostriches. They were positive. CFIA issued a cull order"

Using ChatGTP / OpenAI. Comments: re things I'm expert on, it includes "other sides" & false info. It uses personal pronouns & emotions to refer to itself- I tell it to stop.
Impression- it's like anyone who "knows" things bc they "researched" it by Google etc. It's 0 to 50% B.S. depending on topic

A bog is fed by precipitation. A fen by groundwater. Second most important fact I learned.

A bog is an acidic wetland. A fen is an alkaline wetland. This is my most important weekend fact I learned.

Poillievre doesn't have a security clearance.

clickbait / troll post. Do better.

Compare: internet pornography changes expectations and then actual sexual behaviour. Consider the current dangerous choking trend. Much data for other shifts.
