My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

I’m not sure how I didn’t know Emily Hampshire was in VisionQuest, but they’re an extremely pleasant surprise.

No ISBNs in Canada for AI writing. This is a fantastic policy, and every country should do the same. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

In Quebec City, an 11 year old boy was killed while he was on his bike earlier this year. A ceremony set for this weekend to install a ghost bike was cancelled because the boy's family has been inundated with hateful messages because ... speed bumps have been installed.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

New Marist poll of Texas finds 61% say undocumented immigrants should stay in US if meet certain requirements. Only 35% say they should leave. A majority of noncollege white men (Trump base) says stay. Supports my case (see piece/thread below) that Trump opened way for new pro-immigrant consensus

I can't imagine he's going to win but I would LOVE for Taichi to beat Gabe for that Global Championship #njkopw

Curses, booted up my Playdate for the first time in a while and the screen is fucked... so much for playing Season 3... not entirely sure if I'll buy a new one. I didn't use this one that much even though it's super cool

I just think it’s so much cooler and more interesting to try to be the best audio show rather than the shittiest television show

This is in response to news that we’re never going to profit from TMX, despite the government regularly calling the project “wildly profitable.” Anyway, when the whole argument for the infrastructure to be built is PROFIT-BASED, (unlike Canada Post!) yes you do!!

When I was a newspaper reporter, it was part of my job in Huntsville to go and witness the executions conducted at one of the prisons in town. I don't remember the exact number I was present for but it was close to at least a dozen, each of them via lethal injection. /1

🔊 Death row inmate Christa Pike is receiving 'lifesaving medical care' after a botched execution in Tennessee. The Reuters World News podcast has more: reut.rs/4xYMmQL

Ok this is the greatest thing ever. If by some miracle you’ve never seen this, fix that

Alright, time to finally watch Buckaroo Banzai, it’s been one of my big blind spots for too long.

“What happened to St-Pierre Plamondon? How does one go from genial Gen X liberal who touts his non-white friends in speeches to scorched-earth nationalist who trades in linguistic boogeymen and vilified ethnicities?”

The Walrus@thewalrus.ca

Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon once pledged to be the antidote to the PQ’s xenophobia. Today, writes Martin Patriquian, he’s an “ideologically rudderless ambitionist” leading a hardline nationalist movement. https://ow.ly/hW1E50ZS5W8

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

disconnect.blogThe media has the AI threat all wrongGenerative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

Watching the CMLL 93rd Aniversario show and and I need to get back to Arena Mexico sooner than later. I think I’m going to already put the 100th Aniversario show on my calendar in 2033
