I keep listening to podcasts going over the reasons Trump wants Greenland. There are no real reasons. The desire came first, and the reasons came second. Voluntas pro ratione.

Prime Minister Carney, I chuckled at your boots-on-the-ice joke, even if the Davos audience didn't get it. 😅

Corvette ZR1X acceleration on a prepped surface (sticky drag strip): 1.68 s 0-60 and 8.675 quarter mile time. That is insane. It demolishes hypercars and drag-spec muscle cars. 🔥

Watching the spotlight on Sault Ste. Marie and the layoffs at Algoma Steel made me appreciate how much more threatening a job loss is when the entire sector and local economy are hit at the same time. The jobs to move to are few and far between. These are hardworking people affected.

Just more proof that algorithmic feeds radicalize users in any direction: I watch a few YouTube videos on Linux desktop distros, and now my recommended vids are F**k Windows! and Is this the year we all ditch Windows?! Bro, chill out!

I thought MAGA was isolationist. No more foreign wars. I am curious how they will react to the incursion into Venezuela and the toppling of Maduro.

Watching the Stranger Things series finale! My prediction: Vecna forces them all to sing, so it becomes a musical theater episode. #strangerthings

And maybe I am in a better area for architecture than England, but I find Toronto's newest buildings have the best architecture, whereas they seem to see modern architecture as the worst ever.

I don't necessarily agree that beautiful places rely on a heavy hand in planning to maintain aesthetic theme/design language and symmetry. I find the planned, uniform, stamped out modern housing developments oppressive and depersonalizing.

I know I am old now because while watching Christmas classics like Home Alone and The Simpsons Christmas specials, I identify more with the parent storylines than the kid storylines.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: if you're a business that gets exposed by a journalist or YouTuber, the fallout isn't the result of the exposure; it's a result of your business's shady policies and behaviors. You just delayed it through secrecy.
