I will always wonder if these inspired the Muppets in any way

We asked Canada's premiers if they fly private. Here's what they said | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford has reversed course on the purchase of a $28.9-million private jet for his travel — a controversy that has raised questions about how often Canada's leaders fly on private ai...

It’s kind of fun that the CBC’s position here is “Fine, if you think there’s a ‘double standard’ at play when it comes to scrutinizing premiers, then we’ll ask all the other premiers if they fly on private jets, but you’re not going to like the answers.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hope it's soon! Feels like I applied ages ago, lol 🤞🏼

if you were in the blocked block of people, your ability to use the actually useful Quiet Posters feed got nuked.

Agreed to play net in ball hockey, something I've never even thought of trying before. Immediately regretted it after saying yes bc gear issues, but so far going ok, lol

Teammate: you give me so much confidence being back there!

Brain: THAT MAKES ONE OF US

Out Loud: aww, thanks!

buddy if I wanted a pedophile who sends Ice into the downtown cores of major cities I'd-ahhhhhh---?(voice trails off)

the funniest saga in Toronto right now is Drake installed a two-storey block of solid ice downtown - presumably, when it melts, it'll reveal an album release date - and for the past day the world's most unemployed Tiktokers have tried in vain to break it with icepicks, sledgehammers and blowtorches

A Forbes article about a father who killed eight children, with an embedded prediction widget inviting people to speculate on whether "Congress will pass new gun safety legislation before 31st December 2026"

ghoulish

It snowed where I had to drive to today and actually literally everything I wanted to work this weekend on blew up.

My options are: don't sleep for a few days to catch up or hope for the heat death of the universe to sneak up on us. I dislike these options.

So if someone opts in, and has taken photos of friends, relatives, kids, even strangers, they’re “giving permission” on behalf of all those people. So lots of people have no say in this.

The whole “opt in” thing was always a charade but it’s approaching terminal nonsense at this point.

Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

“Take a moment to think before you dive in. That’s the best advice for Google Photos users, as the company confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation.”

gonna go ahead and add 'dad game' to the list. I'm so tired.

If there’s one thing I do miss from my childhood, it’s how companies would say “ope, back to the drawing board” when dumb ideas like New Coke flopped. Now execs just throw shitfits over the poors not adopting whatever useless tech they spend their billions developing.

“You WILL love AI! You WILL!”

My worst internet habit is reading about terrible people all of the time. It's only ever been detrimental to my mood! Detrimental to my life in general. And it keep doing it.

regretfully I admit this is not 100% about world news

Imagining how if they made Rocky today we’d get repeated cutaways to the Draftkings odds tracker in the middle of the fight. “Prediction markets have turned against the Champ, this is incredible!”

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

fwiw I like it more than enough to pay for Studio.

The feature set is helpful for what I do, but absolutely not necessary for most people! Hurts nothing to test it out, as you say ^_^

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

I was in Premiere from CS2 until I got way too fed up with Adobe bullshit, wow, 7 years ago? Time is broken. ANYWAY. In setup it'll ask if you want Premiere's shortcuts. I chose to skip it and re-learn everything.

If you're used to after effects the hardest thing is going from layers to nodes.

Their tutorials are Actually Good for getting into it

My car is old enough to take CDs and you bet your ass I still make and use them.

I have a couple of ancient vinyls around, but can't bring myself to get a player and modern albums for one. Also cause the prices blow and I expect shipping to reduce them to shards ;_;

everyone who is now saying "well ackchually they are two different species that's why" needs to remember that they were not accepted as two different species until 2015, and the rest of us held onto brontosaurus for decades because THE NAME IS COOLER, WE'RE NOT CALLING IT AN APATOSAURUS

Clearly not enough people know niche brontosaurus drama and did not spend years having dinosaur people say "well ackchually it's an APATOSAURUS there's no such thing as a brontosaurus" at them
