This USPS news drives me nuts - it's similar with arguments about Canada Post here. Mail is a public good. It doesn't need to bring in a profit.

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization A new analysis commissioned by The New York Times suggests that Google's AI Overviews are wrong an astonishing percentage of the time.

This is catastrophic.

My semi-annual reminder that if you're in charge of conference food and you serve vegetarians cold, slimey veg on wet bread you deserve to be tried for war crimes.

If you're curious where I stand...

Shad Responds To Drake's Misinformed Shade In Junos Speech Drake is still holding grudges from 15 years ago. During Sunday’s Juno Awards, Drake appeared remotely, sending in a video to induct Nelly Furtado into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame. During that spe...

Drake continues to suck.

If it helps - I'm finally signing up because I saw this while on my PC and not while driving, which is usually when I hear your ask.

Add Adobe to the pyre. I had to uninstall Acrobat because it kept telling me I didn't have a license for Pro even though I wasn't opening Acrobat Pro, I was opening Acrobat Reader.

I want to throw Microsoft in a fire this morning - OneDrive decided I should have ALL of my personal files on my work OneDrive by syncing with it (I didn't tell it to) and then GREYING OUT THE OPTION TO STOP IT FROM DOING IT.

Pragmata! This seems really outside of Capcom's wheelhouse, but I enjoyed the demo and I'm all for original IP.

This is one of the graphics they're using - I mean, come on. AT&T makes up the vast majority of the investments here. Investing in a telecom is vastly different than investing in a defense contractor, and just muddles the argument in the public's eyes.

- I hate that I have to defend this. There are legitimate criticisms of where these pension plans put their money. Instead of that discussion the argument here is "they're investing in ICE!" which they aren't. Let's have a conversation about the real damage the marketization of pensions has had.

Canadian banks, pension funds gave billions to ICE contractors, data shows - National | Globalnews.ca An environmental advocacy group analyzed financial data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the private financial data firm LSEG.

Stories like these drive me up the wall for two reasons :
- It's framed like CPP/PSP, etc. are investing in ICE. They're not, they're buying equities in telecoms and defense contractors, often in an indirect way from an index. AT&T, CACI, Palantir, General Dynamics, etc.
1/2.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

That is weird - I hated church. I couldn't wait to leave. The real prize was the restaurant breakfast that we had earned by staying quiet through the boring rambling.

I'm in PV on vacation and even I'm tired of the ruined vacation stories.

From what I've seen - buses on fire creating blockades, cars in parking lots being set on fire. Otherwise, very quiet here, roads are empty and people are just chilling. Obviously there's anxiety, but most of the issue seems to be in Zona Romantica.

We have been told shelter in place. We are safe. #puertovallarta

Cigarette Machines/Punch cards, yes I remember seeing - but I don't think I ever saw a mimeograph, though I remember the weird purple inked pages that were probably from a mimeograph.

Age verification?

I slept on a water bed - for years.

I did cancel my Nitro and they didn't ask :(

I've cancelled my nitro. This is clearly them gearing up for an IPO. There are alternatives - I have no desire to have my personal ID given to some third party to be hacked. @discord.com

Archives matter - but not to the Carney government. Canada has only ONE federal funding program for community archives, and they just killed it. Gone.

QotW : I remember, purposely waiting so that I could see Sonic tap his foot at me. The attitude was unreal compared to any other video game character. That foot tap told me : I'm way cooler than some chump with a mustache.

I'm glad the Grammys was used as a platform to push back against ICE/Trump - it's the first time the Grammys have been relevant in ages and definitely isn't because of the choices made for nominees/winners. (Defying Gravity over Golden? Really? Fuck off.)

I am calling this a panagram! I will not accept the faulty US spelling! #spellingbee #nytimes

I can't sleep. I know what's happening in MN isn't my country, isn't my government - but it's like watching a close friend descend further and further into self harming behavior. The further it goes, the more concerned I am they'll never recover. I'm sad. I'm angry. And there's nothing I can do.
