I just lost the game.

I remember when there was a rendition of One Toke Over the Line on his show. Classic.

I managed to finish a new short story today by using the end point of another as a prompt. That was fun. I've called it The Vanishing.

question for the 🇨🇦 telecom law nerds out there: does a computer server, or any computer, that does "transmission or reception of intelligence by any wire, cable, radio, optical or other electromagnetic system, or by any similar technical system transmits" count as a "telecommunications facility?"

Thanks.

I'm out of the loop. Who is the misogynist and which show?

1/ Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat @jennykwan.bsky.social's No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.

Fascism intensifies.

Thank you!

This is an incredible and utterly bonkers book.

Is there a nonpaywalled link?

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

❤️🙏

That's some serious bullshit.

c'mon! Are you kidding me?! This is wonderful.

Thanks!

I've tried napping but am too tired to sleep now. Bodies are ridiculous.

Listen. That generation did a LOT of drugs

This is awesome!

Canada's attempt at a patriot act is coming back tomorrow, and you know they are gonna use Tumbler Ridge as the excuse for "lawful access". Don't fall for it, it's about counter-insurgency, not "making kids safe again"

I hope they help!

Moby Dick is an incredible book because it is all of the things Chanda talks about in this video and also it is an excuse for Herman Melville to infodump (often incorrect) Whale Facts on his audience and I love that for him

I just finished reading it and enjoyed it, even though I don't care for leeches at all.

Just got my copy today. Quite enjoyed the leech story by @sashabrown.bsky.social . Made me think of a squicky Shirley Jackson/George Orwell alien-infested timeline.

I really wanted to ride a monster cat just like the whore of Babylon did. Still do. That would be boss.

I would like all of that, please.
