Can the EU really save Canada from itself? I sure hope somebody can.

I bet people will still be saying “streets ahead”

Blackbeard burying his treasure.

I expect reddit will roll it out slowly and stop if they’re losing too many users. If they actually follow through and impose age “verification” on everyone it’ll be a bigger exodus than anything seen before — so they probably won’t.

I assume that scheme is part of a long-term effort from Google to reinforce the idea that nobody but them should be allowed to have root on their phones, and is therefore working as intended.

Major nation-states remain amazingly eager to gear up for World War 3, finds every international arms dealer.

My best kitchen thing is a small hand-cranked coffee grinder. I don’t drink coffee any more, but I still use it for grinding things such as flaxseed.

Well, he was. I think maybe he gave it up to become a professional right-wing grifter before dropping out of public life. Not only did he have a tenured position at a big university, he was also among the ringleaders of what they called the “intellectual dark web”. That brand is pretty much defunct by now, but it was big a few years ago and its function was indeed to bring attention to rabid right-wing lunatics in academia.

I have shirts that have gone in and out of style three times, according to people who pay attention to such things.

Don’t try to feed them, don’t stare at them, don’t photograph them. Don’t run, or they might think you’re prey. It’s often best to just keep going and pretend you don’t see them.

The fediverse has become the central hub for it all due to its nature. Any forums or whatever which want to join in and be a part of it are free to do so. It could perhaps be made easier, but that depends on the technical details of the protocols involved which are still hard to understand.

Hundreds of years of burning coal has spread mercury compounds all over the land, so that quite often when they build a new dam for hydroelectric power it’s dissolved into the water and ends up concentrated in fishes that people eat.

Today is the 99th anniversary of the deaths of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.

Assuming the 120 people have access to existing world history I’d hope they manage to arrange things such that they never get into that kind of trouble.
