Cook Ting 📎🍁🍉

I got a package this week from “Intelcom” (who?) and now learning that its CEO is the brother of Mélanie Joly, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry of Canada, puts ALL of this hobbling of Canada Post into clear focus 😡

There are other uses surely, but I would ride down to union or Ex stn, put bike on train, go to KW and ride around, eat in a restaurant, go to a bar, then take the train back. If the timing was good.

Regional tourism ftw.

Canadians are on year three of a people’s recession The disconnect between big economic indicators and Canadians’ day-to-day experience is a gap our political leaders seem unable or unwilling to bridge. Indeed, parliamentarians have gotten in the habit...

"Real estate speculation and rent extraction now outpace production, innovation, and trade."

Tax policy has encouraged this for several decades now, and some people have grown very wealthy at the expense of the rest of us.

Why does he move his mouth like that when he talks? It's uncanny. I can't watch it.

You sure that wasn't your Similes teacher? My solipsism teacher just told me to trust him because he's the teacher.

Hey, just reading that sub-head, wondering why we live in a world at an increasing risk of major war? I mean, has anyone threatened to invade *us*? 🤔

The Parliamentary Press Gallery was not informed in advance of the Prime Minister's trip to Egypt to participate in the Middle East Peace Ceremony on Oct. 12 - 13. The Gallery is disappointed and dismayed at the exclusion of Canadian media from the event and expresses in no uncertain terms that this must never happen again. It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister's foreign trip. Our members bring trustworthy and reliable news coverage free from any political interference to Canadians every day and play a critical role in holding government's accountable to the people that elect them. Every government, in a healthy democracy, must show a commitment to freedom of the press. In Canada, that includes respect for the vital role the Gallery and its members play. Any event that erodes access, transparency and accountability is a step in the wrong direction. Mia Rabson President, Parliamentary Press Gallery

Wow! What a banger. Love Cyndi but this version would fit right in on my playlist with The Jam, Buzzcocks, etc. Thanks for sharing this! (Cool story about meeting her, too, btw!)

Big Sora watermark right there. 🤔

My teen said their history teacher told them to judge historical figures “by the standards of the time.” I said well, who gets to decide the standards of the time? The enslaved people, the children forced to have sex with older men?

Not even. From here, Kid Rock looks like sincerely MAGA: anti-establishment, anti-gov't, racist, somewhat sadistic. Snoop seems like a *pure* opportunist, a "business man" just taking his brand where the optimal revenue appears to be. I can't decide which is worse but I feel the distinction matters.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

I appreciate a couple folks here posting clips of the reporter in question. But I would love to see a highlight reel of the answers to this specific question. Followed by a cut of the highlight reel with director's commentary / references / fact checking.

More or less the ideal thing for the people being ordered to shoot civilians to be saying to cameras, generally speaking.
(I do not know enough about Madagascar to comment on any of the rest of this)

Worth a try at least, innit?

There's a joke in here somewhere about Sir Mix-A-Lot showing up in rural England, confused.

Is that you Detroit, getting ready for devil's night?

That would just drive me away.

Stripped down, the so-called AI boom is really just a massive buildout of parallel instruction processing power on internet-scale (and growing) datasets. Given enough input data, GW beats teraflops as a throughput measure.
