I basically never see the racism or murder at the Racist Murder Pit. You can avoid that kind of thing if you don't go looking for it. The truth is, the Racist Murder Pit is the best place to have meaningful conversations about politics. And you can pretty easily ignore all the racism and murder

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

There is stuff to turn up about MacIsaac, like the interview he did while high as the moon, where he was holding a chef's knife and a salami and talking about them in wierdly threatening language, but to mash his biography with that of someone who just shares the same name - that's not cool.
Well, now it's causing havoc.
MacIsaac should sue Google.
Remind me again how good generative AI is at summarizing information. This tech should be banned under existing consumer protection laws.

Two world wars took place on other continents, and your country tried its damnedest to stay out of both of them. Remind me how that went again.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

We're in the dark, and SaskPower has announced they won't be going out tonight. (No judgement here; I wouldn't venture out in this shit, either.)
So I'm thankful for the gas fireplace and a battery-operated fan to circulate the warm air.
If we stay in the basement, we should be cozy all night.
