almost anything is physically *possible* in the oil market

a far, far narrower set of things is economically plausible, let alone *profitable*

"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

DRAM prices mooning will hurt everyone and might cause a consumer tech recession on its own in the next 12 months even without the AI bubble popping.

Hyperscalers are going to jack up prices for cloud resources, electronics manufacturers (Apple, Samsung, etc.) will raise prices, this is gonna hurt.

@victor-matheson.bsky.social hi there! I've sent an email as well - but hoping to get in touch for Canada's public broadcaster. I'm at anis@cbc.ca if you have a chance to connect!

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Zellers returns — again — this time starting in Edmonton | CBC News A new incarnation of Zellers is set to open in Edmonton's Londonderry Mall, after the defunct Hudson's Bay Company transferred the discount retailer's brand trademarks to the owner of Fairweather and ...

CBC News was the first outlet to uncover the owner of Fairweather and International Clothiers is the likely operater of a new Zellers in North Edmonton.

Yup! Zellers is back. AGAIN. At Londonderry Mall! (?)

I mean admittedly this was the basis of one of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stardate 46125.

But also ... in that episode, the Dyson Sphere was defective and caused an older ship to crash and trapped the Enterprise. So, I mean, yeah. Not a great idea there either.

Chatted about AOL on CBC's "Your World Tonight" this evening.

Got to say the following on national broadcasts:

"It's true, there was a whole 1998 movie about AOL, dial-up, and love."

"Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks probably don't use dial-up anymore."

Journalism, truly. CBC News has learned.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

Things we don’t want:

Extreme wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, and the wealthy paying a lower rate than working Canadians.

Things we do want:

A truly progressive tax system where those that benefit the most from gov’t spending pay the tab, and an economy that works for everyone.

We don’t want CONCENTRATED wealth.

So yes, tax the ultra-wealthy.

I talked to a lot of wealthy Canadians for this story. On one side, those who say they should pay more. On the other, those who say you tax what you DON’T want. So do you tax wealth?

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

This story could be apocryphal - I genuinely don't know, "CBC News has not learned" so to speak. But it's entirely possible, and is a great illustration of how economic systems react in ways that could surprise you waaaaaay down the line.

Saw lots of lazy dunking on this guy, which fair, because he's obviously racist and dumb.

But also this exists! It's called Star Trek. It's very popular!
