My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I can't focus at all. Oh yeah, I need to drink it.

Why does my arm smell like chlorine? It's been a year since I've been in a pool. #LifesGreatestMysteries

The biggest grocery chain in #Canada (Loblaw) is HATED. People working corporate there get training and little cards to remind them how to talk and their work at dinner conversations. Same playbook as Palantir. https://infosec.exchange/@josephcox/114353896932919597

Been watching #TheResidence and thought I recognized the art in the opening credits. It’s by #MairaKalman. I have a couple of her books. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a64240924/maira-kalman-the-residence-interview-2025/ #UzoAduba

I didn’t think I would have a thread going for FIVE MONTHS https://hachyderm.io/@skinnylatte/113431347101858937

I would love for there to be a way to turn off all flashing effects in games.

A US judge on Thursday ruled that #Google illegally wielded monopoly power in the online ad technology market, in a legal blow that could rattle the tech giant's revenue engine. > The federal government and more than a dozen US states filed the antitrust suit […] [Original post on mastodon.cloud]

Hey, #Canada ! Advanced polls open tomorrow--sorry, today! 9 am to 9 pm. Go #vote

The sound of "stuttering" in Chinese! #language #linguistics #onomatopoeia #maps

Doug Ford wants to repeal the Ontario Endangered Species Act. https://ecojustice.ca/news/ford-government-guts-endangered-species-act-slashes-wildlife-protections-in-ontario/ #onpoli

A regular reminder that you can like the Handmaid's Tale, but Margaret Atwood is still a Feminism-Appropriating Radical Transphobe. I recommend 🏴‍☠️ so we don't fund her hate & anti-housing causes.

Years ago, I was talking to a second-language teacher, and they said that at some partially fluent point in your language journey, most learners will start focusing on either vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation/accents. When I learned English, my focus was heavily pronunciation and adapting […]

Canadian Elections. Post your voting plan! Advance Polling Fri Apr 18 - Mon Apr 21, 9am - 9pm. Find your advance poll station here: https://www.elections.ca/scripts/vis/FindED?L=e&PAGEID=20 April 22 is the last day to register to vote by mail or special ballot. Election day is Monday April […]

Look, I'm not anti-Carney, believe it or not. I like the push for housing, and I personally have plenty to gain with a Liberal government. I want you to make your vote cost him an apology to the intersex community. Pressure your MPs to make demands for their leader to do better. Vote for them […]

Happy birthday to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, aka the Canadian Constitution. And to celebrate, we have a Prime Minister (and likely the next Prime Minister,) who said "there are two sexes". Happy rights day, folks. Everything will be fine, right? #canada #cdnpoli

The Debate Commission lost last night's French debate. #cdnpoli

*clutches pearls* But our profits!!!

To qualify as debates, all debates should have a dedicated fact check team. Every lie creates an interruption with a statement of the objection, the person who said the lie is given 10 seconds to correct their statement, but they lose 30s of time per lie. Debates aren't debates when one side […]

The internet tells me this is a really good play. Growing up Hakka and looking for answers as to what that means. https://tarragontheatre.com/plays/current-season/benevolence/ #Toronto #TheaTO #torontotheatre #hakka

Why do Canadians think majority governments are a good thing?

Men talking about women's rights devolve into a conversation on crime. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

Lack of big transit projects are thoroughly disappointing. Why not shift the automotive market to transit infrastructure? #cdnpoli

Blanchet (Bloc Québécois) has said that he'd "rather sign the Canadian Constitution than build a pipeline." Gotta love the Bloc. #cdnpoli

Feeling second hand embarrassment for Jagmeet's debate performance.

Majority rules is not how Indigenous land rights works, Pierre. #cdnpoli

Strawberries for #cdnpoli

When leaving the all candidate debate, I overheard a couple of Liberal supporters (theme for the week?) saying how the pro-Palestine supporters can't be appeased by anything that the sitting Liberal MP could say. Actually, no. Here are a list of words and phrases that would get the protestors […]

"Marc Andreessen wrote It's Time to Build in the early days of the pandemic. If you're anywhere in tech or a tech-adjacent orbit, we're so certain you've had someone quote it at you. We're sorry to bring it up again." :blahaj_is_fine: https://www.rawsignal.ca/newsletter-archive/the-poser-manifesto/

At a virtual "conference" for my field, and they had a glitch in the system that basically gave away that some of their talks were pre-recorded and not live. How embarrassing for them.
