Canadian father of 2. Xennial, likes dad jokes, puns, science, ttrpg’s.
There has been some talk about what China’s decision to tell their people to leave Israel means. China has a large information apparatus, but I don’t think that’s key to this decision.

I think it means that they know this conflict will escalate. They want their people out, and not be involved.

To Trump suggesting Canada become the 51st state, I have a counter offer:

The US becomes the 11th province.

A sleepless night. I decided to watch some movies. Iron Man 3, than Dr. Strange.

I was flipping through my binder I’d DVD’s deciding on what to watch next.

A movie caught my eye. I’ve seen it many many times, but I decided what not. The Sound of Music.

We are less than a year from election time in Canada. We must ensure that we don’t allow a conservative majority.

How impactful do you all think the NSICOP report in December will be?

How damaging will it be for the Cons, whose leader refuses security clearance to protect his party?

This. One of the many reasons people left the other app was because of the vitriol and nastiness. Let’s work together to keep that from becoming commonplace here.
Did you know Bluesky lets you report accounts for "Frequently Posts Unwanted Content"? If you see harassment and insults in our mentions or yours, don't just disengage or block them, be a kind community member and report them too!

Keep Bluesky Clean!

So, a question I have had rumbling about in my brain:

With the upcoming transition to a Trump government, will some companies flee the U.S. to other countries? More specifically, online companies, to avoid the potential restrictions the Trump government will place.

I have managed to get a good chunk of the people I have followed on the platform formerly known as twitter followed here on Blue Sky.

The lack of vitriol here makes me so much happier.

So, I am now part of the #Xodus

Leaving the platform formerly known as Twitter to bluer sky’s.

I can also be found on Tribel and Mastodon (same handle).

X has become an intolerable cesspool, even with over 10,000 accounts blocked.
