Brands don't seem to realize that the "fake sale" strategy stops consumer journalists like me from mentioning their sales. If I have to double-check that your "sale" is actually a new price, I'm just not going to bother telling our audience about it.

Is it just me, or has Grammarly started hating em dashes like they killed its father since that became an indication of AI text?

I really thought Hallways by PUP wasn't for me when I first heard it, but damnit if that melody isn't stuck in my head for days on end.

@davidpierce.xyz want good budget AirPod-like brands? Check out EarFun. I haven't tried the Max-like Wave Pro, but I love their ear buds.

Alien Isolation has always been the game in my library that I bought on sale and never played. I was so excited to pick it up, but never got around to it. It's been like 10 years. Well, I finally started it. What the hell was I thinking? Why did I not play this earlier??

Vergecast reading old quotes about wood phones is making room for jesus between my impostor syndrome and me. I needed this.

How can we be so obsessed with never, ever changing for the better that Germany would consider buying gas from Russia again? The CDU needs to get some balls. Or some scruples. www.dw.com/en/could-ger...

Jagmeet is a man of real courage and integrity who would be phenomenal as a cabinet minister or maybe a premier. He's just a lousy federal leader.

Old enough to remember when 30 campus speaker disinvitation attempts were a grave threat to free speech

@liberalca.bsky.social why is no Liberal MP listed in the Simcoe North riding on elections.ca so far? I thought Rocca was confirmed in March??

Smh, here's @theverge.com, of all places, and its editor-in-chief, @reckless.bsky.social, of all people, shaking the publication's "precious ethics policy" and using AI to generate keyword slop just to top the search results. For shame. www.theverge.com/tech/641940/...

After the Canadian Association of Journalists issued a statement defending the Western Standard’s access to Liberal campaign events, the Western Standard turns around and goes after the employment status of other journalists This is real ”paradox of tolerance“ stuff here, @cajournalists.bsky.social

It looks like there are some really interesting things going on with the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social H2D print head. all3dp.com/4/bambu-labs...

It's so rare I have something positive to say about an airline, but @lufthansa.bsky.social was extremely cool about refunding my fare after I had to book an earlier flight to see to a family emergency. It's a kind of empathetic policy that will make me spend more to fly with them in the future.

A potentially malicious link made it into @prusa3d.com's 3D model repository with the recent OrcaSlicer integration – present on every 3D model's download page. all3dp.com/4/printables...

Prusa just soft-launched a cloud-based slicer for all 3D models on Printables. I've been trying it out since Friday, and it's great. Want an early access invite? Comment on my article with your Printables username! all3dp.com/4/printables...
