@jessebrown.bsky.social My lord, Jesse! I just listened to you state that Pierre Poilievre was built to be prime minister. I disagree. I think he’s built for opposition through-and-through.

Lost elections are rigged, won elections are fair. Good job numbers are real, bad ones are fake. Sex trafficking is bad, unless the traffickers will blame your enemies. Crime is bad, unless the criminals are pro-Trump. This isn’t 4D chess, or even tic-tac-toe, just Autocrat 101.

Dear universities,
I am begging you to stop requiring letters of recommendation for master's programmes. You and I both know you don't read them, so stop asking for them.
Instead, have applicants list a name and get in touch if it's a borderline case.
Signed,
Everyone.

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.
But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

Three Alberta separatism myths
No, we wouldn’t be able to force the rest of Canada to build pipelines.

@adobelive.bsky.social It's had to believe after so many years that Adobe doesn't have InDesign numbered lists working for what's likely the most common treatment: restarting numbers for lists separated by another text style.

I don't understand why Canada is even responding to Trump about the border. The southward border from Canada to the U.S. is the American border!
If drugs and criminals are pouring in (which they are not), it's the American border that's too open. They need to fix that.

On this platform, I'm purposely *not* following all the U.S. political pundits so as to keep my timeline douchebag free. It's working out pretty well to day. What a refreshing experience!

@snell.zone Thanks so much for sharing your (poor) experience with Home cameras on MBW. I thought it was just me!
Mine are also a pain, disconnecting all the time.
