Today's #phishing is a text message trying to hijack the bread price-fixing class action settlement.
The real website says the claims deadline was 2025-12-12 and it ends ".ca".
This fake site ends ".info". #beware

This has been a core principle of computer security (and is also often ignored):
Bake it in from the beginning; don't try to bolt it on afterwards.

Oh, also "there's" is completely replacing "there're" in both speech *and print*. The former is disappointing, the latter is just plain laziness/terrible editing.

Now you know to look out for it, it'll stick out line a sore thumb.

All I hear now is "It impacted..." rather than "It affected...".
Language evolution in effect.

It might be stating the obvious, but at this stage Courtney Sarault has to be the frontrunner to be Canada's flag bearer at the closing ceremonies.

And can we bring back "affect" instead of using "impact" as a verb?

Courtney has done it again! Just this afternoon, she claimed bronze in the Women's 3000m Short Track Relay at Milano Cortina 2026, her fourth medal of the Games and a historic achievement for Canadian short track speed skating. What an accomplishment!

It's not about the boots, but that the pant legs ride up so high.

Holt government drops N.B.-based virtual care company Province replacing eVisitNB with a new service provider based outside Canada

Losing Maple in NB is a big shift. I’m optimistic a new app tied into 811 can work if usability comes first. For those of us years without a family doctor, virtual care has been our only doorway into the system. That door can’t get smaller. #nbpoli #nbhealth

There was a tragedy yesterday in Tumbler Ridge and people might be saying things that are wild.

We don’t know why she did this terrible thing but I wish we lived in a place where we could give people help before these things happen.

We need to show compassion and help others so we can stop this.

When I travel, sometimes the only WiFi is Open WiFi, so I use <shill> @windscribevpn.bsky.social as my VPN on those networks. Based in Canada, with a "no logging" policy, and a free tier, they were a no brainer. </shill>

Advances in medicine mean you'll likely live longer than you think, plus AI will destroy everything much quicker than you think.

I wonder how Bob Jones is getting it so wrong lately. His prediction last night was for a drop "not ... much more than 1 cent if it happens". πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Interesting, but the whole thing seems undermined by the last line of the story:

"To elicit the blackmailing behavior from Claude Opus 4, Anthropic designed the scenario to make blackmail the last resort."

I imagine some kind of endowment is in order, so that it keeps giving and giving, rather than being a one-and-done spend.

No curse at all. As I wrote to @petermansbridge.bsky.social (on X), as long as the Leafs earn as much as they do without having to win, then they won't.
