We've been doing our best to not buy American products for a month. (It's not always possible to know 100% of how the product got to a Canadian store.) But with digital services, boycotting is going to be much harder. Do I leave here? I've been a gmail user for 20 years. My entire life is in it.

Every additional cost to consumers and manufacturers needs to be labelled a Trump Tax. Why are costs going up? You're paying the Trump Tax for his ego.

Every season of Inside No. 9 has 1-2 just absolute classic episodes of TV (if not more)

Inside No. 9 is so good, you guys.

Sometimes I get so frustrated about how the league talk about the Raptors. Listening to an OG trade recap and they barely mention RJ. Like, RJ is a full year younger than IQ and, in my opinion, better. Why is the trade viewed as if it's OG for IQ plus spare parts?

Why don't we have a challenge, Darko? We never have challenges left in the 4th quarter.

All around the world, incumbents have been losing elections. In Ontario, we don't like the incumbents either. We want change. But, um, we don't want to vote for it. So here's a third government.

Voting is more than a right , it’s a responsibility. Please vote today x.com/torontostar/...

My father loved Westerns and showed me tons of them. Somehow that led to Samurai films. My mother was really concerned with us watching inappropriate stuff for our ages but somehow made an exception for Hitchcock so we watched a lot of Hitchcock.

It's crazy to me that people think RJ isn't that good. He is 24. 24. The NBA media talk about him as if he's a finished product.

A-fucking-men

Last four Friday #letterboxdfriday #filmsky

That play by Mobley...

Instant mood enhancer

I just got back from the dog-walk and was about to complain about the score but then, well, they scored

A book that should be mandatory reading for every man

For Valentine's Day, please make me Hello Fresh

I'm kind of confused why nobody did this until recently. Like, why haven't shareholders been concerned with how much he posts? How can he have 5 jobs (6 now?) and post this much? He'd fire anyone who posted as much as he does.

Framed #1068 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ framed.wtf

Watching lesser Ken Burns instead of the Super Bowl

I remain incredulous as to how little acclaim Inside No. 9 gets. Easily one of the best shows on TV for the last 10 years.

Remember when Raptors fans thought they were winning too many games to get a good draft pick?

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

If I had a car and, um, skis, this would have been such a good skiing day

The way the NBA podcast intelligentsia talks about RJ I think they think he's 27

Framed #1063 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ Seen this movie way too many times not to get it framed.wtf

Imagine spending your whole life voting for what you thought was "limited government" because you believed the other side would dangerously overreach when in power. And now the "limited government" party you voted for wants to prosecute companies for their hiring decisions.

For everyone saying Ingram is 2023 Rudy Gay...um, he's absolutely not.

This is the right way to view this

I was feeling a little skeptical this morning but @williamlou.bsky.social talked me into it

I don't know what the Warriors are doing. Now watch Jimmy be Jimmy in the play-in games

I love this team, man

How do we feel about Dimension 20 as non-D&D people?

"In many, many other contexts that we have seen, post-9/11, the Security State considers its classified systems so sacrosanct as to protect them at gunpoint... That very recent history renders the complete inaction of the FBI in this.. moment of Constitutional crisis...something like surrender."

This is going to keep happening until he gets what he wants (whatever that is), or he gets distracted by a new obsession, or someone punches him in the face hard enough he backs off. So...

LLMs definitely approximate human intelligence and absolutely are not just pattern-matchers

The incompetence by American billionaires this weekend is staggering

Spotted on Twitter: "lol do you know how badly you have to fuck up for my entire tl to be canadians going 'this trudeau speech is excellent.'"

our nation has a Kennedy missing his brain and now a white man from Dallas is about to help LBJ win. welcome back, 1963

I still think this is a bluff but I guess we'll find out on Tuesday. Regardless, it is just inexplicable.
