I hate to admit it’s taken me this long, and all the old white people complaining about the Super Bowl halftime show, to finally listen to Bad Bunny.

I cannot say this strongly enough.
Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck JD Vance.

Claude Code helped me PoC a new feature in an hour or so, explaining functions it wrote, UI it built and the state it managed to do it.
It still needed some guidance, but overall pretty impressed with it giving me answers I needed to take to my team.

Pretty good so far, I kind of like having it in my terminal too rather than another app or webpage.

Any Canadian who says they hate Trump yet votes for Pierre Poilievre, Doug Ford, and other Conservatives is either a liar or utterly misinformed.

Please leave us the fuck alone, you expired piece of cheddar.
Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."

Removing X as a platform of communication for Halifax is on the agenda today in City Hall.

Trump’s ‘plan’ for Gaza is ethnic cleansing, and the continuation of genocide. He and Netanyahu are planning for the total, violent erasure of Palestinians from Gaza. But we know that Palestinians aren't going anywhere, and Gaza belongs to Palestine.
