DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT.
CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open.
DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open.
CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are.
DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Reminder that Hockey Canada's reserve fund used in part to settle sexual misconduct cases was called the "National Equity Fund." And that it needed the fund because it received one or two reports of assault *per year* in the fiveish years before the federal inquiry.

At this point in my life I’ve accepted that I’m never going to learn how many days “hath” any month, and you should too.

If there’s one thing you can get Canadians to unite behind it’s a sense of righteous indignation.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight

Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
