It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries
Revenge! Renegades! One heck of a gulping slurtch! Blast off for Friday fun! #FinishIt finishitpod.com/2026/03/06/e...
God DAMM IT
I hope it's America!!!!
Again. America. Food. Unbeatable.
Yeah. I live in Canada.
Man I remember seeing a Xevious machine at the Kroger's in the Markland Mall in Kokomo in 1983. Blew my mind. Graphics so real
"To suggest others should subsidize your tax bill so you can retire in one of the most expensive cities in Canada with a home so large you're not really living in the entire thing while others struggle to get by is the very definition of being entitled."
Weird food innovations. Cheap food. Good food. Just tons of crazy ass stuff, and wonderful, good stuff. American exceptionalism for *this one area* only.
I've said this a million times and I will say it a million more: no country tops the US at food. No country anywhere. Food is what I *absolutely miss the most* about not living there anymore.
Turns out there HAVE been accepted refugee claims from trans U.S. citizens seeking asylum in Canada.
Here’s one such example (reported by the Refugee Law Lab):

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
....stunningly accurate assessment of this website.
Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

I know y'all hate Mastodon and all that, and there are definitely features that exist here that I'd love to see there, but the granular privacy options on Masto are toppity-notch. Can define visibility for each post, can make your account private, the nine man. It's good.
"what if we made twitter but with an architecture that makes locked accounts impossible to implement" is, perhaps, not the greatest idea someone's ever had
Dow Chemical grandpa I remember having a collection of badly labeled dark brown glass bottles filled with Something in his garage and some of the most riotously gorgeous flowers in his garden. Suspect not-quite-legal fertilizers.
One of them a cavalry (yes, horse cavalry), Army Air Corps, Air Force officer and later worked for Ford on the Mustang concept, amongst others. The other a history teacher and Dow Chemical worker, which is probably what killed him.
Skitch has been right exactly once as far as I can tell
You cannot really run a university like a business because our most valuable product is failure.
Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
also nobody should be able to call themselves "why" unless they are the actual "_why" which I don't think this person is
Why @why.bsky.team Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast
in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

Early in my copyright career I had a complex, nuanced take on the ethics of piracy. Now I'm like, fuck it, pirate copies are perhaps the main way any copies of corporate-owned media (esp tv/movies) are gonna persist through unrestrained corporate looting, have at it.
Gotta get that Predator handshake meme thing or something because I *fully*, absolutely also believe this is Something Good, nay -- something STUPENDOUSLY TERRIFIC and I am in no way a full-throated AI hater.
Good for them.
