Hello on Thursday morning, 16 October 2025.

Russia is now going all out to make life unliveable for Ukraine's citizens, destroying all energy and heat infrastructure it can.

While Ukraine hits energy targets too, it's almost all to hit Russia's exports/finances.

Here's the🧡

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s β€œDo Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings β€œIf you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violenceβ€”just speech.

Microsoft's OneDrive Begins Testing Face-Recognizing AI for Photos (for Some Preview Users) - Slashdot I uploaded a photo on my phone to Microsoft's "OneDrive" file-hosting app — and there was a surprise waiting under Privacy and Permissions. "OneDrive uses AI to recognize faces in your photos.....

"Slashdot: What's the reason OneDrive tells users this setting can only be turned off 3 times a year?

I'd also like to endorse @ajrosenstock.bsky.social for Chair and @simonsaysengage.bsky.social for Ontario Rep. Amanda and Simon also understand that a hard introspection needs to be done to get the Party out of this death spiral

If you think the GPC has had a rough few years, you're not alone. We've faced devastating results this year and current leadership wants to bury its head in the sand. Vote for me for VC Anglo and let's fix this.

They released a new remaster of The Sound of Music. First, it looks and sounds amazing. Phenomenal work on the audio and video.

But second, the last time I watched it I was much younger, I had forgotten how much of a vibe Captain Von Trapp is.

This is good β€”the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on β€œCar Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

We Canadians live next door to a dysfunctional country run by an emotionally unstable, immoral buffoon, and the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre want to emulate that here. That’s a hard no.

The attitude held by people who are like β€œI would never sail on a boat to Gaza so I don’t care if the Canadian government gets them back” are the same people that will travel to Florida not knowing the Government has left 150+ Canadians in ICE detention camps willingly, including toddlers.

It’s also dishonest to present these two issues, in the same breath, as some kind of zero sum prioritization. The beauty of the speed cameras is, once installed, the job is done! If anything, they free up police resources so more focus can be paid to violent crime. It’s foolish, bad logic.

In a statement, Vaughan Mayor Steven Del Duca pivoted from speed cameras to violent crime, suggesting we should spend more time focussing on the latter. That’s illuminating. Vehicles obviously present the bigger statistical threat, especially to children. But we accept those injuries and deaths.

It’s not just Doug Ford. Are all of Ontario’s political parties car-brained?

Del Duca, recently the leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, seems to join Ford in opposing speed cameras.

The NDP ran on eliminating tolls on Highway 407!
