Thought I'd check up on a friend's post from a few days ago stating very confidently that the U.S. would never invade Greenland or Canada.

Hypothetically, can you just slap one of these on people having loud speakerphone conversations in coffee shops and on busses?

Honestly, some people on the Parks Board won't be satisfied until Stanley Park is a Six Flags. #vancouver
From a press release about the Harry Potter experience in Vancouver today. You know the one that pushed a beloved by-donation holiday light attraction out of the park and put $ into the coffers of a horrible human.
“On the heels of strong interest and an enthusiastic reception…”
Absolutely not.

It's the most magical time of the year — when estimates of last year's global average temperature anomaly come out. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.

The whole movie’s an occupational health and safety nightmare.
Star Wars missing a scene where the cantina bartender quits their job that evening. Normally, you get a few rowdy drunks maybe but in one day, someone gets their arm chopped off and another guy is murdered! And the killer just tosses him a few coins as an apology. Not doing this anymore!

Two fronts in the disinformation war converge: fake news site publishes patently false story; Grok digests it and spews it to users as fact.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Spoken like someone who’s never had to choose a data plan.
