a man in a tuxedo is asking why are you booing me Alt: Hannibal Buress in a tuxedo is asking: Why are you booing me? I’m right!

Me when I say IM3 is a great movie

Right? Like, a Lost Cause space western where everyone speaks Chinese but no one is Chinese might not be the right prperty to resurrect. Just rip it off to make a new thing!

Free Link and ban Singal.

You as the Head of Comms may be able to get it through Jay’s and Aaron’s skulls that this would bring about a ton of goodwill from the part of the user base that actively supports the ecosystem

As some with young adults who will likely be looking for places soon, good!

Not only is February brutal in Edmonton... the leasing market feels like this snowstorm too. The absorption rate has completely shifted.

Many of us predicted that Spring 2026 leasing would be different, but I don't think anyone expected this many units to hit the market at the same time.

Right now, tenants have options - lots of them.

They walk into a showing, and if the unit isn't exactly what they want...there is similar one just across a street.

What we're seeing right now is something we haven't seen in a while - a real competition between landlords.

free months of rent

gift cards

parking incentives

flexible move-in dates

upgraded appliances

utility credits

Everyone is trying to lease asap as the lender is coming at you and if you don't achieve proforma - you get to buy the rate down ouch!

For investors this means a few things: You need to be strategic, flexible, and realistic (!!!) with pricing and incentives.

Turns out building more homes makes housing more affordable.

Edmonton real estate investors are realizing that because so many options are on the market for tenants, they need to be sweetening the pot with incentives - and being "realistic" with rent.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

An insane warlord facing death contemplates invading Persia as his last hurrah and has enormous issues with supply lines, treacherous foreign allies, and rising debts. Is it Phillip II or Donald Trump? Take the quiz!

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

Oh, Tudyk’s not the issue, but canonically he shouldn’t be in any sequel series. If I were to cancel any of the cast, Baldwin would be first in line.

Technocrat capitalists don’t realize that AI sounds obsequious, because their wealth already alienates them from accountability. This is how actual people already talk to them.

β€œWhere are my babies to kill??”
I guess it makes sense if you assume everyone not raptured is a sociopathic freak, but that includes the protagonists!
The authors just want you to assume about a hundred thousand or so true believers were raptured, and ignore the two billion children.

These are storyboards for live-action commercials, which is why it’s dangerous to use photo-real images. IT’S NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT. THE LOCATIONS AND ACTORS WILL NOT BE TWEAK-ABLE.

If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things.
People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are.

β€’ Claude didn't choose to work for the military.
β€’ Claude didn't build data centers.
β€’ Claude didn't defund mental health.
β€’ Claude didn't refuse security protocols.

Humans did.

Of course, my colleague is now using Firefly to generate sketches for the storyboards…

Very similar stuff happening in marketing/design. A colleague was using Firefly to generate images for storyboards, and of course the client started getting hung up on details in the images that had little to do with the concept. That’s why I always advocate for loose sketches at that stage.

That’s a good reason for its use on social media. I’m sure I saw it back on old Twitter.

North America includes two countries that aren’t the USA. I think USians is clunky, and everyone knows the term Americans means the US, but it would be nice to have a term that includes people from Canada, Mexico and the USA that doesn’t already belong to the middle country. πŸ€”

Like how Clark points out that the Rapture in Left Behind takes every child in the world, and the series goes on as if that never happened. Every parent should be bereaved, every school abandoned and teacher unemployed, the entire future of the world shattered; but the Left Behind world doesn’t care

The supposed explosion of the federal public service looks less explosive if you put it in per capita numbers and draw a line graph back to the mid-80s.
