Ahh, I’m so glad I’ve lived to see the “legalized organ market” stage of late-capitalism.
If only my organs were still in sellable condition. 😩
“Happy little accidents” is what happens haha 😂
We collect far less data than most OECD countries and we have no way of measuring a lot of stuff we need to measure. Carney knows that an ignorant population is a docile population. He's ensuring we stay ignorant.

As a fellow Completionist for these digital pieces of percentage, I also feel this pain.
Also: the best “why are you like this” came from Zelda who gifted you a Golden Poo 💩 trophy for that tedium.
One of the jobs I interviewed for (but turned down the offer for - turns out I'm autistic and therefore incapable of placing salary above morals) - was writing the operations manuals for missile guidance systems.
Cue internal screeching at the thought of AI doing that.
so happy mark carney wants to deploy bullshit machines throughout the public service. i’m sure there will be no drawbacks to such a brilliant plan!
Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
Why not? Not like that could go to radically reshaping the world. Pour it into the psychosis machine.
It's great. I have never once interacted with it in the few years it has been worshipped like a new god.
Cmon, you can’t expect planned obsolescence to have a holiday during *literal* Planned Obsolescence Holy Season? 🎅 🎄 💸
We have an old set of multicolour incandescents from the 90s. They’ll either outlive me or bring me down with them in a holly-jolly housefire.
We paid $1.6 million for a company to scam us. Which is nothing new, except they used a program to help them scam us more EFFECIENTLY this time.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
There ain’t enough seasonings in the world to cover up the off-taste of their smugness. #EatTheRich? Nah, let’s #CompostTheRich instead. They’re lower in trace heavy metals with their superior (and evidently improving) diet 😜
Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS
THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS
The @policyalternatives.ca's annual Alternative Federal Budget brings together researchers and advocates from the whole spectrum of social movements. It shows we CAN afford the investments & services Canadians need. Check out the 2026 AFB: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc.... #canlab
This is a very good and bold proposal, and one that would collapse under reality if the Lewis team isn't working with Unifor to make this promise. I talked to people on the inside this past weekend about what it would take to do this and the barrier isn't at the plant level, it's in the supply chain
On average, people had trouble with daily activities on about 27 days a month and were unable to function on about 18 days.

It’s been ten years since the Truth and Reconciliation report was released. True reconciliation requires the Canadian government to deliver on the Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.
This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
I think my second is B.
I think Latin cuisines have a lot of flavour overlap with D. Can find a suitable dupe in D for G cravings.
Plus you’d want some Potato and Tomato Europe as a palate cleanser every now and then. Options.
You got Sicilian, Greek, Indian, all-Spectrum Asia (Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc) and BBQ from the Australians if you’re too White for any of that. 🤷🏻♀️
Zone D is the ONLY answer to this. Objectively, scientifically, culinarily…. every way that matters.
Like, I can’t even imagine who would pick otherwise?
Kinda shocking this has reached Inner Mongolia 😳 what an embarrassment
my latest for the Star, pointing out the v obv disconnect between bill C2 — the Strong Borders Act — and the whole elbows up thing
pro tip: you can’t claim the entire security & economic partnership is over and then willingly hand over all sorts of info sans warrant to the US
During WW2 when Canada's rubber supply was threatened, Canada created a Crown that included leadership from the large petroleum companies to make what became a flagship public petrochemical industry.
