I'm really on the dumps today. I discovered my family was from Canada almost 30 years ago. I've spent all the time since then trying to find a way to go back. I moved to WA to be nearby. I'm in school to qualify. In Dec, C3 made it a possibility. I was finally going to be free.

The BC Conservatives have won a majority government following BC NDP leader David Eby's decision to call a snap election almost two years ahead of schedule. Here's what a Conservative majority means for LNG, Indigenous Rights and more #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/bc-election-...

Now, I don't know if I'll be welcome in BC by the time IIRC gets around to looking at my application. I know you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, but this was all I had to hold my hopes and dreams. Now they're on the floor, cracked, and I don't know what to do.

I'm ditching all my different phone banking appointments between now and the election, and this is the last election I participate in. I'm gonna focus on getting my affairs in order so when my Canadian citizenship certificate comes through I can immediately leave. Fuck this country. I hope it burns.

We are more than 6 and a half years and counting into the Jeff Tiedrich challenge. It hasn't happened yet.

Confiscate all of their assets in the country and lock up the executives until 250,000 trees of the same size are back at that site. Anything less than that and you deserve to be exploited by corporations.

Hurting Musk also means avoiding Founders Fund's portfolio, with the main ones being Postmates, Wish, Lyft, The Athletic, Credit Karma, Polymarket, Affirm, Spotify, AirBnB, and Facebook. Businesses should also avoid Stripe, Faire, Asana, Flexport, Personal, and Cedar. Full list:

A lot of Musk's wealth comes from companies most people don't directly buy from. However, we CAN divest from his investors. The biggest and easiest change would be to move any retirement funds out of Fidelity, and stay away from indexes that invest in his companies.

Trans people invented modern CPUs too Lynn Conway gave us Very Large Scale Integration and Dynamic Instruction Scheduling (makes the single chip CPU w/ multitasking possible, affordable, predictable and robust) and Metal Oxide Semiconductor Implementation Service to make it manufacture better.

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

I'm spending my $25MM relocating lefty, politically active trans families from deep red districts in red states and investing 20% in their new home purchase in blue-state, barely red districts, then leveraging my new real estate portfolio to continue beyond the initial funds.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

If you're still shopping at Amazon, you're a traitor to the entire working class. Hope you enjoyed the tax dollars that went to feed the warehouse workers so you could get your junk slightly cheaper than at a mom+pop store.

You're trying to tell me that there is a train coming and there is a fork in the track and it's up to me to pull the switch -- I can either destroy every minority or I can destroy only trans people -- and that I should choose the one that hurts the fewest people.

This episode was such an inspiration for me. In 7th grade, we were required to write and present an essay about America. I wrote mine on slavery, segregation, the KKK, and worker abuses. I was so scared to present, but thinking of Lisa helped me get the courage. I was kicked off stage and given a 0.

On This Day in Simpsons History@dailysimpsons.bsky.social

35 years ago today, after witnessing the bribing of a US senator, a disillusioned Lisa Simpson gave an impromptu fiery anti-American speech at a national essay contest at the Kennedy Center. #TheSimpsons episode “Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington” first aired September 26, 1991.

It's a small percentage of total births, but I keep thinking about the thousands of births that take place each year while the gestating parent is in transit. Beyond helping with delivery, can a Waymo accept destination changes from a screaming person in labor?

I drove rideshare on and off over the years. One time a guy passed out in back and I couldn't revive him so I took him to the ER and called 911 to alert someone to meet us at the entrance. Pretty sure he'd be dead in the back of the Waymo when the next rider gets in.

Took my child to the beach for the first time today. He sat in the same spot for 4 hours and splashed and buried his leg in sand and admired the view. Such a peaceful day. Just wish I'd remembered to get my other foot with sunscreen after doing the first one -- it's now beet red and super painful.

I've never watched films that focus on HIV/AIDS. I'm fairly educated on the topic, but working in testing, education, and hospice in the 1990s made it too painful to watch. It's been a long time since I've lost anyone to it, so I'm watching the adaptation of the book 'And The Band Played On'.

As I predicted, it's really hard seeing it on screen, so I'm taking an intermission. I don't have words to describe how good it feels seeing young versions of many of my favorite A-listers and character actors doing so much justice to the topic at a time when there was much more stigma than today.

I'm really in love with this film so far. I highly recommend it. Includes Alan Alda, Phil Collins, Richard Gere, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen, Lily Tomlin, Christian Clemenson, Anjelica Huston, Donal Logue, and so many other amazing actors. Gonna gather myself and then finish the rest.

If I let these chodes continue with the back and forth long enough, it always devolves into hate against women or trans people, whether through misgendering or more direct means. Makes it pretty clear why they came after me in the first place.

Here we have a loser that can't defend his position, so he is attempting to ease his cognitive dissonance by responding with something, anything, no matter how stupid.
