Thanks! That looks great!
Do you have a source for the maintenance coat quote? It’s something I regularly think about but I’ve never seen any research that can back me up.
(Experience tells me that DARPA figured this out in the 60s and everyone’s ignored it ever since)

@briamgilbert.bsky.social I think about Wanna Buy a Ghost all the time. I even used it as a Halloween costume one year. Thanks for reminding me about WaverlyFlams.
Did anyone suspect the twist or are Dropout cast members just more trusting than Nebula creators?
Did you do a magic trick with the bag?
Horny and difficult to schedule
A (fake) yard sign parody with multiple lines of text in rainbow-ish colors saying: IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE TABS VS SPACES IS MOSTLY A BORING DEBATE WHAT PEOPLE WANT IS CONSISTENCY WHICH IS PRETTY EASY THESE DAYS CONSIDERING PRETTIER EXISTS AND STANDARDS LIKE .EDITORCONFIG BECAUSE THE DX DOESN’T MATTER, YOU SHOULD HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR TABS BECAUSE THEY ARE A BIT MORE ACCESSIBLE BUT REALLY EVERY LANGUAGE SHOULD HAVE GOFMT LIKE GO HAS

My plea to parents is to take your children to libraries as much as your complicated parenting schedule can possibly allow. Help your children understand that this resource belongs to them and to the community, and that anyone attempting to take it away is stealing from them.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I have a crazy idea. What if the point of the grocery store was to make sure that everyone was eating 3 healthy meals a day. You have on-site dietitians, budgeters, meal prep, everything. Chewy Decimals System Librarians. And you make it a non-profit. And it’s the food bank.

Privatization will destroy everything we’ve ever loved.
The tragedy of the commons is that the commons were fenced in.
I have a new life goal. I need Jonathan Torrens and as many ex-Street Cents hosts as possible to do a segment where they tell financially literal Canadian preteens that capitalism is fit…

Thanks to everyone who voted for me and everyone who encouraged me!
And big shout out to @revpartycanada.bsky.social for putting together a platform I believed in for the first time.
I got 152 votes! That’s pretty cool. People lit up the when I said I wanted to tax billionaires. And they nodded along when I said that everyone deserved affordable food, clean water, and a place to live.
And we obviously need electoral reform. There’s a lot of votes yesterday that don’t count.
