I didn’t know Microslop was a thing until I saw headlines about Microsoft trying to ban Microslop on its Discord. Now I shall say Microslop a lot. That’s how it works.

It’s good when Microsoft, a company that likes genocide and environmental destruction, doesn’t like things.

If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why in the name of all things holy, unholy, and mundane should I take the time to read it?

B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News March 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

Very sensible. Saskatchewan already does this. I wish Ontario would do this. Ontario only wanted to do this if NY state did too. In the current political climate, that's a weak argument.
