No matter how great a guy he is, or how deserving of recognition he is, using AI to send a birthday greeting to an actor, when AI threatens all actor's livelihoods, is the pinnacle of obliviousness.

For the crime of being a feckless coward with no moral strength, I hereby sentence Ed Sheeran to 5 shirtless days on a sunny beach with no sunscreen or shade.

When people say, "It must have been rigged!" they stop believing in facts, even when presented directly with evidence. Doesn't matter which side. Ignorance and denial replace critical thinking and rationality. It kills any civilized debate or argument. It kills any chance of reform or growth.

I’d heard so much about this movie and how bad it was over the years, that when it finally got released on Tubi, I had to check it out. It certainly lived up to its reputation. Has anyone else watched it? What did you think of it? 😀

Bella. There is no "story". You are misunderstanding things, and making wildly illogical and untrue conclusions. And now you're publicly hinting at and privately making false accusations. I know the details. It is not as you're portraying. You are not seeing things clearly. You are ill. Stop.

Which means that Trump will announce he is rescinding the tariffs on Canadian goods on the Friday before Labour Day.

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social

In the coming days, we will release the details of these new tariff measures, which will come into force the Tuesday after Labour Day.

Is it too far-fetched to predict crates of those electroshock gloves will get stolen, then the technology will get replicated and used against ICE agents? Even if so, I'd still like to see it.

You are literally describing Gander.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

So today, well, yesterday now, I got to see these two legendary duos. From the cheap seats, but still an amazing concert. I know Axl is infamous for being late, or fucking shit up, or not singing well anymore but yesterday he was fantastic, and the whole band looked like they were having fun.

Going to see Guns N Roses and Public Enemy tomorrow. Yes, I know they're not going to sound like they used to. That's what aging does to people. It's inescapable. But, getting to see Axl, Slash, Chuck D, and the amazing Flava Flav is something that I can't pass up.

People out there running around not knowing what a SASE was, or why the post office in Pueblo, Colorado was always so busy. Unfuckingbelievable.

If you're in Canada, Gander is amazing. Developers who not only listen to the users and engage, but also protect. And a community that is focused on being just that - a community. It's friendly, it's fun, and it's peaceful. It's a great representation of Canada.

We took some time to mull over the Safe Social Media Act aka C-34. We’ve read the bill and policy materials, sat in on a technical briefing, read analysis, and talked to people smarter than us (as you do). We have a few (early) thoughts. Namely: C-34 is a major improvement over C-63.

Also, recognize that teams have established devoted fan bases in their cities, and allowing them to move to a different city strictly for financial reasons is a huge "Fuck You!" to fans.

Remember back in the day, and you had your favorite radio station, or two, and you knew the DJs that were on at what time? "Hey 'The Rev' is coming on at 4 pm, don't change it!" I miss those days.

It should be no surprise that Michelle Pfeiffer is, and always has been, an absolute smokeshow. What really surprises me is that she's Korean. Had no idea.

Exactly what is the point of SCOTUS? I know people will say that it's needed to have the final say in judicial matters, but when it gets so politicized, so partisan, and so corrupt, and one group of justices might just overturn a previous group's decisions, what's the point?

Hell's Kitchen implies the existence of Hell's Living Room, Hell's Dining Room, Hell's Bathroom, Hell's Closet, and Hell's Bedroom. I'm sure no one has thought of this before.

I feel bad for all you non-Canadians who don't get to see Michael Cera in the Rogers Cable commercials acting like...well...Michael Cera.

Question for the professional chefs here (and there seem to be a lot): Just how good is the Hexclad line of products? I know Ramsay hawks them and has a financial interest in them, but I see them used on other non-GR shows, too. Are they actually considered top-of-the-line by chefs not on TV?

I am hearing impaired, and have been all my life. I feel like it has had a very, very serious impact on how I process and react to situations and people. I would love to talk to others who have had to deal with this in their formative years to see if there are common issues. DM me if you'd like.

Watched "Apex" on Netflix because it was described as "Adrenaline Rush - Gritty - Action Adventure". What utter bullshit. Watched the whole thing, no Gritty anywhere.

Hopefully someone can let her know so she stops worrying.

Asking for some help… Could one of you please let Raye know that I’ll be there soon? I was on my way and then got stuck waiting for not one, but two! trains. (and I got her some flowers, but don’t say that part it’s a surprise). Anyway, that’s what’s taking me so long. Thank you.
