Oh look, the thing everyone said would happen, happened. Thanks Neil.

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

it's a horror game about a bird trying to write a screenplay.

in this game, you can upgrade your pigeon's negative traits.

AAAAAA!!!

This was a very bad week for privacy in Canada.

Sorry, but didn’t you and your NDP colleagues vote against a motion to separate the bill, then stay on the sidelines when the vote came up to let the government rush this through committee without debate? www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/v... bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

if this is Trump defeating Iran, maybe we should have let him try and make Canada the 51st state after all

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

Perfect

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

“Great Man” theories of history may have been wrong but “That F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.

in Canada we have a store called "Canadian Tire" and you're probably thinking "a store named after a tire definitely has a circle for a logo" but no, you're wrong. they chose a colossal red triangle

feels cruel for Bluesky to have a Popular With Friends tab, if any of us were popular with friends we wouldn't be on Bluesky

It's so annoying when a bigot dies and we get to listen to people spouting a lot of pious crap about them. The damage they do will always outlive them.

if someone is saying shit like "it's lowkey biphobic that you support AOC even though she won't legalize cannibalism" or "you realize that expecting your room to have windows a luxury belief right" what you're seeing are the charged particles being shot off from polycule fission

If I were Mayor of Ottawa, I would drive the @octranspo.com management team to Westboro, dump them on a random side street and give them 1 hour to get back to City Hall using only a Presto card Whoever makes it back in time gets to keep their job

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

It's only been 6 months, but dang it feels weird to suddenly have no beard

Writing code is the act of weaving a series CPU instructions. Every row of pixels is a weft of a byte groups retrieved from computer memory.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

In lieu of my usual rewatch of You're The Worst, I have the perfect film response to a recent lack of closure; The Banshees of Inisherin. It has everything; Adorable & loyal animals. Homesickness for somewhere you've never been and for people you may never see again. Wailing against the inevitable.

"I'm so, so tired of ads for Ozempic, Viagra, and AI garbage, please give me something else" A finger on the monkey's paw curls "Draft Kings is your number one destination for every sport!"

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Gosh, explaining complex ideas by way of Dialogues? How insufferable and unprecedented. Huh? Plato? Socrates? Never heard of them.

EV owner lesson learned; I thought not using my brakes would make the pads & disks last longer, but they decided to just corrode instead. Turns out they need regular exercise to keep clean and healthy.

Premium Newsletter tomorrow: Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft must add $2 Trillion in AI revenue by 2030 or they wasted their capex. The cost of data centers GPUs may make it impossible to make a profit from AI. Here's $10 off annual. edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...

I'm starting to think The Great Beard experiment has run its course. Might keep it until my birthday, but a more youthful face would support the energy I'm trying to bring into the new year.

"we're going to throw even more money at a project that already failed on the first iteration, without addressing any of its flaws."

A lot of very talented and great to work with people I know will not have a job by the end of the day. If you're hiring, particularly software devs and DevOps, be it remote, in Ottawa, Toronto, or Nice - please reach out and I can put you in touch.
