“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Doctors say that most serious childhood diseases are caused by viruses. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they are caused by radiation from 5G cell phone towers. For a busy parent, it can be hard to know who to trust.
To my Canadian friends, an acquaintance started a petition to allow US transgender citizens to claim refugee status here.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
You've been doing so well. What a blunder to support our fascist neighbors and the genocide regime. I guess I'll go back to NDP.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

It's an email from me responding to someone asking us to use their AI tool. My email says: "We would close our company before we used AI for anything."
My email replies to folks pitching me on "exciting new tools" have been getting shorter these days.
Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game
So he flipped his positive review to negative
Still totally worth it
