If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic. "Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

As if it weren't already bad enough that WestJet abandoned everywhere that isn't Calgary, and contracted with Elon Musk for its in-flight WiFi, it is now set to be a little bit American. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It is the year 2025 and when I type the word "Clown" my phone still suggests "Posse" as the next word.

Anyone else have tickets to Julie Nolke at the Hollywood for tomorrow? I bought my ticket for the original, 7pm, show, but I just got a reminder email for the "late" 9pm show that I didn't buy a ticket for? Why is @ShowPass so awful at communication?

1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

Why are the drivers seats in car share vehicles and rental cars always set to the blowjob position?

The upside of GPS locating tags is that I know exactly where my baggage is. The downside is that I know that twenty minutes after we got to the gate my bag is still on the fucking plane.

I forgot how much gayer (complimentary) Toronto's gay village is than Vancouver's.

I just successfully mobile ordered at Second Cup for the first time ever. Every single previous attempt has been lost somewhere between the app and the store location. Everything's coming up Milhouse!

I appreciate the government’s commitment to the line “BC Ferries is a private company.” Yeah…it is. Your political rivals turned it into one. You could make it a crown corporation again, but you’re not really that committed to public services, are ya?

I'm really disappointed in the limited media coverage I've seen about Skype shutting down today that they aren't mentioning that Microsoft bought Skype and absolutely ran it into the ground. It is a story of gross mismanagement and a tech giant throwing away money and making the world worse.

I love visiting cities where I know lots of people, especially ones I have previously lived in, but hoo boy it is a lot of work to coordinate get togethers when you're in your forties.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

I will never understand how Toronto has spent so many years and so many millions of dollars on upgrading Union Station and there is still no step-free access between UP Express and the TTC.

Remember when you could just run an errand, without a phone call two days in advance asking you to confirm, a text message the day before asking you to confirm, and and endless escalating series of messages afterward demanding your participation in a customer satisfaction survey?

I really want answers and solutions on last week's car attack, but I also don't want them from the people who are offering them (our mayor and police force).

I see non-Canadian news reports and pundits stating that Canadians resoundingly rejected Trump-lite and fascism. And I’m like, “no, we didn’t? 41.3% of us thought fascism sounded fine. We were lucky.”

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Maybe there's another name for a party that runs on tax cuts for the wealthy, pipelines and extractive industry, subsidies for the private sector, larger military, tough on crime, trickle down economics, and spending cuts?

I've said this many times, but I'll say it again - this is how I feel about my time living briefly in Germany to teach study abroad. It is a little gut punch, a small new little wave of grief, every time I think about it. Loss for myself, but also for all of us, what we could have here, but don't.
