A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Carney has been making U.S. digital integration with Canadian defence *worse* while framing the situation as if it's just 'taking time' to diversify. Over 1 and 1/2 years is a LOT of time and he has, again not just done practically nothing, but doubled defence contracts with big U.S. tech. #CDNpoli

cbc.caCarney says 'direct casualties' are result of Ukraine's restricted access to Musk's Starshield | CBC NewsPrime Minister Mark Carney on Friday criticized a decision to restrict Ukraine's access to Elon Musk's military-grade satellite network, saying the move is costing lives.

He is not though. He has directly increased it in key ways. 'share of fed. contract dollars heading south went from 1/5 in the 16 months before Carney, to nearly 1/3 under his watch' - www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

I tried to make an N7 dress in the dress game I'm currently wasting time with. You know, it was nice of the N7 Elite Military training unit to issue an official sexy cocktail dress.

Wait what's wrong with Iowa kids that they can't learn to ride bikes?

Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

Customer care: Customer just bought an Android TV and tried to install the app and they say their remote is not working. No rush here are their specs. Me: Do we.... support Android TVs now? Who told them to buy an Android TV?...?.... I have to make their remote work?

I should get unlimited money to make games about brooding elves and space dating instead of this job. Demand has never been higher now that Bioware is truly gone.

Of course this disgusting, semi sentient tomato in a cowboy hat has to go on tv and make this tragedy about himself and his political agenda.

On eve of Alberta referendum vote, separatist leader alleges ‘cover up’ in deadly CFB Wainwright tragedy Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath makes unsubstantiated claims that ‘DEI programs’ and ‘gender fluid’ soldiers may be to blame in CFB Wainwright tragedy

A fun thing about The Great Canadian Baking Show is they go all in on sponsors. This episode is sponsored by cream cheese and they keep zooming the camera in to cream cheese.

I finally found one of my bucket list fungi in real life! This is the iconic red Amanita Muscaria. We have the yellow version on the East coast of the US, but the red version grows in Washington state! Such a treat! 😍

These people are living in a self-inflicted satanic panic and every day is Halloween.

What a heartless, cruel thing for an elected representative to say.

Is it a bad sign when your boss has barely spoken to you in the last few weeks and someone mentions randomly in a meeting that they're hiring contractors from some firm to do things that would normally be your job?

The last (very important top priority) feature I built has been rotting untouched in staging for a month while these guys all do their own thing with their robot buddies. The feature I'm doing now can't go out until that previous one does... I'm sure it's fine.

Dougie should've called their bluff. Bee-eating coward.

Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social

In Chrysta Freeland's new book she states that Howard Lutnick threatened to invade Canada "by sundown" over Doug Ford's electricity surcharge. The fact that US trade negotiators put military threat on the table must be taken with the upmost seriousness. charlieangus.substack.com/p/they-threa...

The thing about kids who aren't avid readers is that they don't know what genres and options are out there and you actually have to make an effort to help them find books of interest and lazily saying "this is a girl book and this is a boy book" at them will not accomplish anything.

It's as if the white house is cloning these blonde Trump nursemaids, but each clone is more deteriorated than the last.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Between Natalie Harp and now Zacharia, Trump is surrounding himself with women who believe some very strange things. If a friend told you Democrats are a bunch of “sick pedo cannibals,” you’ve back away slowly and seek professional help for her

Saw a pug for adoption on Facebook in line at the grocery store, got excited and asked a question that was already answered in the post so now they probably think I’m a dumb.

Switched to Tidal a while ago and am quite pleased with it.

The same company that doesn't pay artists seems to always find the money to pay this jackass. If you're still using Spotify... why? Pretty much every alternative is better in every way.
