The Catherine O'Hara news is gutting. How bright she shines in my mind, and with everything else going on in the world, what a reprieve it has been to scroll through the hundreds of clips and memories of her people have been sharing. In her closing words from the 2010 games, "Goodbye, safe home."

Haven't posted in a bit, so let me first say, F**k ICE and all its collaborators.
This series is terrible; I will never watch it, nor should YOU. Never mind the uncanny valley of it all, do you know how many jobs this takes away? I admire Mr. Aranofsky, which makes this more disappointing.

This is my favorite vid of it, vocals start at 2:45, and the two guys in the background to the very left are worth watching on the rewind.

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.
I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.
Would love to gather any and all other names.

One of my little nephew's favourite musical artist's is @raffic.bsky.social. I listened to him as a child too, and while I knew it in my heart, seeing him be so vocally anti-fascistm anti-ICE is awesome. Stick taps to Raffi and all the children's educators and entertainers calling this out.

This is one of the greatest plays I have ever seen an individual preform on a rink. This is up there with the Ovie Goal on his back, and like, Bobby going end to end, or the Forsberg, the Michigan. Out of the world hand-eye coordination.

I feel like I'm crazy. If you are in harm's way and that harm is reduced to zero by stepping a foot to your right, you are not in a life threatening situation.
Step out of the way, take down the plate, later arrest the person if you asses they committed an offence.

With ever increasing acceptance of AI slop and inaccurate AI answers, I've thought of a brilliant idea for a company to be an "industry disrupter" in the AI field. It's a gig economy thing where users randomly answer prompts from other users.

I've often told people working in film can be weird because it usually requires relatively the same effort level by the crew no matter the quality of the final product. Good or bad they're hard work.
This is perhaps an example of the unusual times.

I love this pod but having a 30 year love for Ms. Winslet I’m now very confused as to whether I still wish I could marry her or I wish her to be my mum or maybe my aunt/nan so as to not diminish my own mom who rocks all things always. Point is Kate is awesome and we should recognize that.

I know I shouldn't use these apps anyway, but...
Is it really "buy 1, get 1 free" if you raise the price of the initial item by 60% or more?
Why lie and not just say "buy 1, get 5 bucks off the second"? It's still a savings/deal just not the one they advertise.
