Even the men develop Mar-a-Lago face.

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

Great news, @markscrivens.bsky.social : Golden, BC has rescinded its earlier vote to secede from the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) wrt timezones. Rather than align with BC, it will follow the larger district in aligning on ABT. A timezone-creating schism has been averted!

The old line that analytic philosophy is answering questions that come naturally to toddlers via methods that come naturally to lawyers remains undefeated.

Guys. This Ukrainian grandma picked up a Russian drone waiting for its target and took off the optic fiber spool from it, making the drone useless. I'm speechless. She's amazing. God bless her.

Almost 3 AM in Ukraine. Atis and I are lying in the corridor again. I know in the basement could be safer. But I’m so exhausted I don’t even have The strength to run there anymore. So we lie here. Listening. Waiting. Hoping nothing reaches us tonight.

You only think that because all available evidence points to that conclusion.

The Internet at its best: a bystander to an information superhighway car crash digs through the wreckage and reconstructs what actually happened, which is never what people arguing about it in the first place thought it was.

Ukraine just dismissed both its defense minister and its top general, but the real fight wasn't about personalities. It was about a basic question they couldn't agree on: What does winning the war against Russia actually look like? meduza.io/en/feature/2...

Thought for the day: It never ceases to amaze me how today's techbros' vision of the future they want defaults to fully automated leopard-face-chomping neo-feudalism rather than fully automated luxury gay space communism.

The numbers are in! 97 American nurses have moved to #VancouverIsland (31 to #Nanaimo hospital alone) in the last year — with 87 more in the pipeline, thanks in part to the Nanaimo Infusion movement. And that's not counting the 18 doctors, radiology techs, speech pathologists, and others.

I need women to start stabbing first and asking questions later.

You hear them moving, then you take the lid off and they rear up at you, snapping. You have to firmly pinch a claw shut while you bite through the brain-pod. Delicious, but a little scary at first!

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–" yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

Supine is okay for taking a little rest but when you’re truly spent you need to embrace the Earth with real conviction

The Orange is giving so much of itself today: "Cut all the unnecessary meetings and only allocate the minimum viable time to communicate. Then everyone will be listening." @markscrivens.bsky.social as a lawyer, you probably have thoughts on what constitutes the "minimum viable time to communicate"?

Seen on HN (the Orange) today: "Roads and schools have been a net negative for American society."

How much of Trump's cabinet avoiding the 25th amendment is loyalty to Trump, vs. the knowledge that they can't avoid elevating Vance?

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.
