Just discovered that sometime in the past, Uber signed me up for a plan and I've been pay 10 bucks USD monthly without noticing. I hate this shit, but I also hate combing through my visa statements. Never using the service again.
I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.
But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way.

People are free to disagree on this and y'all come out of the woodwork whenever this issue hits the news. Trust me, I've heard your opposition plenty already.
But I've never once met a competent politician who ran a city/province/country "like a business." That's not how running a society works!
Heaven forbid that the Premier had to travel on the northern highways.
Oh wait... he doesn't go there anyways.
Oh, I'm not going either. Just reserving the right to.
I wrote about how AI in book publishing is a labor issue. "AI paranoia is a symptom of a larger problem: a corporate culture that values quantity over quality, quick output over the very human labor of poring over a manuscript & making sure that each & every word sings."

Lol. I'm no Trudeau stan, but F-U, Guardian. I turn 55 tomorrow and as someone who will officially be eligible for a seniors discount at many shops, I say on behalf of my people: we'll get old how we want.
Not a bad idea

It's someone using AI to try to fleece authors. The email address is a gmail. Got one from a radio station in California last week. At least that one go the book right.
Thanks but no thanks, @thestar.com . And I suppose I should add this book to my resume.

It's a Chumbawamba sort of week.
Should be part of his next test.
This story made my blood run cold - chatGPT was just kerosene thrown on a very familiar fire. I don’t care what genAI “helps” you do. I don’t think anyone should have this in their pocket.
Steamed Hams full transcript Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions. Ah. Superintendent Chalmers. Welcome. - I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. - Yeah. Oh, egads! My roast is ruined. But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour. Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise. Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh. That isn't smoke. It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmm. Steamed clams. Whew. Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers. I thought we were having steamed clams. D'oh, no. I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes. It's a regional dialect. - Uh-huh. Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York. Really. Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams. " Oh, not in Utica. No. It's an Albany expression. I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. Oh, no. Patented Skinner burgers. Old family recipe. - For steamed hams. - Yes. Yes. And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled. Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second. - Of course. Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped. Yes. I should be- Good Lord! What is happening in there? - Aurora borealis. - Uh- Aurora borealis at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your kitchen? - Yes. - May I see it? No. Seymour. ! The house is on fire. ! No, Mother. It's just the northern lights. Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham.
Today is officially the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams. On April 14, 1996, "22 Short Films About Springfield" aired for the first time!
@michellegoldberg.bsky.social reports on an amazing anecdote among people celebrating Orban's defeat. I used it here to argue that liberals and Dems have a good case to make in response to Vance/MAGA's effort to claim "Western civilization" as exclusively theirs. 6/
