Sorry but this isn't how you take care of a hotel

Apologies for the crap picture but the inside is even more stunning.

America now has second-generation school shooting survivors nypost.com/2026/10/17/u...

Convinced my 9yo to read @greatdismal.bsky.social ‘s Neuromancer instead of Harry Potter. He’s already into Vonnegut (the Ryan North graphic novel is excellent btw). Hashtag decent dad?

Who fuck is this guy who just called into Ontario Today?

This basically my dads build.. oh but just the torso cause he actually takes care of himself and worked out his whole life so he doesn’t look like someone had fun with the sliders on an RPG character builder

The real courage? Sending out that note as newsletter :)

bury me in khakis and a lanyard so hell knows an expert is coming

Hey @peark.es just saw this version of “truck nuts” and thought of you. Pretty clever IMO.

Holy crap. Curry goat doubles. Why did I sleep on these?

Can’t find the full version but this is what y’all sound like. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2xcQ...

“Oh no my actions have (potential) consequences! This is basically nazi Germany” My guy we live in a society.

I’m sorry I’ll fully admit to having a bit of a lead foot but that’s on me. I don’t care if it’s a cop or a camera, own what you did wrong. Also getting rid of speed cameras around schools is the worst thing Ford did (and again, I will own to not being the best driver). Rules are rules.

Deftones, Goldie, Danny Brown

Holy shit could he be more of a loser?

This might sound elitist, but I don’t think the people liking the Peanuts slop posts should have rights

Ok so I don’t have a problem with expanding Billy Bishop per se, but my hobby horse has always been: build a proper intermodal transportation hub at Pearson, and put dedicated bus lanes on the 401 and 400 so taking GO from 519/905/705 etc actually beats driving.

Don’t know the details but Ontarians if you can get Sheringham anything from BC, do it.

gork is this good?

durrr me smart econ blogger wut do?

The original Spider-Man film (Willem Dafoe, Tobey McGuire, etc) holds up shockingly well. Raimi knows how to make a hit.

Stats added for emphasis. Fuck Qatar.

Wow imagine the odds that you could train an Opus 4.6 class model in just 3 months with only $25 million and do such a good job that your model itself thinks it’s Claude Opus in the reasoning trace. There’s no other explanation for that except just being better at AI than those lazy Americans.

I’ve done a lot of work on natural capital. The idea is to recognize the value of nature, natural resources, etc. so people make better decisions (hey that forest provides way more benefits than another subdivision, for example). The idea of actually charging for it is disgusting/against the point)

Hard to disagree with this but as a Canadian I’d add G&M and CBC somewhere between A and B-tier

Amazing bumper sticker at HD this morning

Share an iconic movie or TV house or building! Parkwood Estate (Oshawa ON) as seen in about a trillion movies and TV shows (including The Boys and Billy Madison(!))

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

For Star Wars day, give us your top 10 sci-fi films: Blade Runner Alien Akira The Matrix Robocop Total Recall Terminator Terminator 2 The Fly Beyond The Black Rainbow

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

u never see this on a tradlife mood board

This one of those books that really stuck with me. Highly recommended (fair warning it’s not a light read). Would be fascinating to see something similar done today.

Hey, it's Hitler's birthday.

This really underlines a flaw in issue-specific uncertainty indices: if media focus shifts to another, more impactful risk, coverage falls and the index falls. It's like a doctor breaking your arm to distract from the pain in your foot.

MLB’s Korean marketing slogan used to be “It’s big ball chunky time”, and I will never stop thinking about it

Also my other grandma lived through the Great Depression and used teabags twice. She’d eat what was served and clean the plate.

Players Light Regular, canned veggies, instant coffee

Forever burned in my mind. This album and Roxy Music - Avalon were the only two cassettes my dad brought for a 12 hour road trip to Winnipeg.

we say “o’clock” because time is irish

There is nothing I miss more from my past jobs vs my current gig than access to a Terminal. Haver a close 2nd.

Today’s Brighton (ON) soundtrack: Can’t Hold On - MED

It’s kind of insane how little attention Valve has had for so long. Basically a money printing machine. I actually really respect gaben on a lot of levels (Linux support for instance, going their own way on hardware) HL3 when tho

Pet peeve but I’m going to defer to @dbcurren.bsky.social if referring to a decade, is it the 1990s or 1990’s? (I use the former but I see the latter all the time including inside my company and always “correct” it)
