Yeah this isn’t new; it’s more of the same galaxy brain thinking that brought us Phantom Menace. Ok for little kids, sort of, but not able to capture the emotional weight of the original trilogy. RIP Marcia Lucas, who I believe is responsible for that heart.

We JUST started watching Ted Lasso, and I was delighted to see Linda from Better Off Ted!

Yeah the distractions are coming so frequently, I now assume the Epstein files place him explicitly raping under-10s. He won’t let us see that content so what else van we assume at this point? It’s clearly the worst scenario or he wouldn’t be working this hard to stop that conversation.

Ontario shouldn’t have done this. Remember when a casino was considered a NIMBY item? Now its potentially every home you drive past! Huzzah!

The argument goes something like this:

“I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”

“But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don’t. QED.”

“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Dogs and cats living together etc.

Social media companies will fill the gaps, continuing to spread their toxicity through society unchecked. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is starting to look more like a cautionary tale.

Yeah the combo of tips + taxes is enough to throw any european off. 13% where I am, so mentally disregarding the final price presented and then adding 33% on top of that is a huge difference than paying the number the items added up to on the receipt, and then tipping if the service was excellent.

I think State taxes are lower than my provincial tax generally, but its a big shoft mentally. You have to fundamentally accept and financially reward a system that considers underpaying its employees completely normal and actively resists improvements for those employees.

The report notes this new growth is primarily driven by huge new contracts for Palantir, a data analytics company that is central to ICE’s enforcement operations, as well as Anduril, a defense company that has built AI-powered surveillance systems, tech-infused border towers, drones and sensors.

Sorry if this is already obvious, but why are they doubling down on LOTR words? Was Tolkein a more problematic figure than I’ve previously understood?

Exactly. If this is part of building Canada’s digital sovreignty, CBC should be getting extra funding for supporting local news sources.

And also extends to royalty e.g. in Germany the king is the kaiser. Interesting that the US seems to use czar to essentially mean “middle management”

According to a 98-page report on that investigation, “only Canada, Ecuador, the European Union, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan have not failed to impose a forced labor import prohibition”.

So these countries did impose a forced labour import prohibition? Sounds like 0 basis for these tariffs then.

Their definition of Jesus doesn’t come from the bible

The number of AI companies comparing this time to the industrial revolution is bonkers. Oh, you mean the literal dawn of man-made climate change? THAT industrial revolution?
