What do we want? Any and all Tkachuks to lose. When do we want it? Honestly? Whenever. Daily. Yesterday. Now. Forever.

I’ve only been to Hungary once, and for a few days at that. I’m no expert and I can’t claim to a sophisticated understanding of its culture or its society.
But what I observed during a brief visit in 2001, only days before 9/11, has stuck with me …
I figured it was just old stock but that also makes sense 😂
What's the whiskey of choice this evening?
April 12, 1980. "Today is the day it all begins".
46 years ago today at 2:30 pm in St. John's NL, Terry Fox started to run across the country.
"I touched the ocean before I left, up this old dirt road that was impossible to run on."

My first thought is to ban the data harvesting and tracking of youth users, thereby preventing the algorithm from feeding them toxic content. Only let them see content they seek out and that their connected friends post.
And then I realize that that's also just what I want for me.
We are, however, available for gigs at smaller, less authoritarian venues
As a Winnipegger I have many questions about how this song came into existence
A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric
I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
If a network holds a sport’s broadcast rights but doesn’t have a way for you to watch games on-demand, they shouldn’t be able to get a video taken down from YouTube or any other site.
I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.
Prime Minister Sanchez:
“.. Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🇪🇸
Going to be a fascinating election in 2029
I've said repeatedly that this is the bluest Liberal government of my lifetime but this kind of Conservative crossing the floor really kicks it up a notch. Anybody who still thinks of the Liberals as being what they were under Trudeau is not paying attention
Ned Flanders leaning out his window with the caption "Dear lord, that's the loudest profanity I've ever heard."
All over Winnipeg this morning
Still from Deep Impact of a tidal wave destroying NY as a man sits with his back to the wave reading the paper.
Deep Impact has this shot, when the comet hits the ocean and the tidal wave is destroying NYC, of a guy sitting with his back to the wave reading the paper. I love it so much. He just decided he didn’t believe it was happening, I guess? Or didn’t care? Anyway. He is congress.
R.I.P. irony.
A color photo of Dale Hawerchuk skating on the ice during a game. He wears a blue Winnipeg Jets jersey with red and white accents, featuring the Jets logo on the chest and a captain’s C on the upper left. He also wears a blue helmet and gloves, holding a hockey stick as he looks ahead. The background shows a blurred crowd and rink boards.
Dale Hawerchuk was one of the greatest players of the 1980s.
During his Hall of Fame career, he put up incredible offensive numbers, on his way to becoming a hockey great.
In Winnipeg, he is nothing short of a legend.
This is his story.

This guy like "I've always wanted to be a marathoner, but I didn't want to run long distances. But now, with the help of this handy SUV, I'm crossing finish lines like there's no tomorrow! 😁"
Extreme turtle derby
i love the small print “because the regulators won’t let us :(“
Glad to see this person at least feels shame for their idiotic choice. Unfortunately their response to that shame is to ask people to stop being so mean so that they can avoid that shame rather than simply owning up to the stupidity and vowing to do better
I learned today that there’s a copy of the script of the episode of The Simpsons where Nelson knocks over the Sunsphere in Knoxville Tennessee in the (still standing) Sunsphere in Knoxville Tennessee.
