I hate to admit it’s taken me this long, and all the old white people complaining about the Super Bowl halftime show, to finally listen to Bad Bunny.

Likewise, it meant I could reassign one of the bottom two shortcut spaces on the lock screen too which I find handy.
Once I'm in the camera app though I use the controls on the screen.

My son loves it every time we drive past it to the highway entrance though. But yes, doesn't make me want to buy a car from them.
All the dealerships on Kempt seem to have something different too.

As is tradition. Thou must scorch one palm whilst freezing the other. There shall be no negotiation or agreement. Choose wisely.

It would be fantastic to see some traffic calming up around Cavalier school, the morning drop off turns Polara into a F1 circuit!

Try riding your bike up Sackville Drive and tell me you want to pause bike lane and cycling infrastructure discussions.

I cannot say this strongly enough.

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck JD Vance.

Today was an absolute embarrassment of international politics by those two.

Claude Code helped me PoC a new feature in an hour or so, explaining functions it wrote, UI it built and the state it managed to do it.
It still needed some guidance, but overall pretty impressed with it giving me answers I needed to take to my team.

Trying Claude Code today from @anthropic.com
Pretty good so far, I kind of like having it in my terminal too rather than another app or webpage.

Any Canadian who says they hate Trump yet votes for Pierre Poilievre, Doug Ford, and other Conservatives is either a liar or utterly misinformed.
