Proud Canadian living in #LdnOnt. (see banner above) Interested in SF, science, games both video and tabletop, a little bit of finance & economics, and alas US and Canadian politics because I have to. Used to write until I went broke trying.
I guess I'm in the top panel; the Moon takes bigger hits a lot more frequently from "natural" meteorites, there's no life there to suffer from the impact, and I've grown increasingly disdainful of nostalgia. I'm far from a Musk fan, but this isn't the sort of thing I despise him for.
Kelsey JohnsonWhich panel are you in? ✨🔭🧪
For those who don't know, former PM Justin Trudeau was an amateur boxer. Before he became PM, his victory in a charity match with a Conservative senator got him a lot of attention in Ottawa circles and may have started the push that later won him the leadership of the Liberals. (1/2) #CdnPoli
PEIPolitical 🇨🇦WTF! Poilievre setting up a fake sparring match to pretend he's better than Trudeau. Get in the ring with him in a real match you POS! #cdnpoli
To the best of my understanding, conditions here in Canada are roughly the same for Jewish families as in the US.* This is far-right agitprop. *which is a knock against us, admittedly, but it makes moving from here to there no improvement
Unofficial CTV News MirrorCalls emerge for U.S. refugee status as group helps Jewish families flee Canada
Bumping this one up for the morning crowd. #CdnPoli

I Found Out How Canada Rejected MAGAYouTube video by Dangerously Informed with Eviewww.youtube.comFrankly I don't understand the current fad among CEOs of saying they want to enter a mature market with a product that's trying to be the same as the other offerings already in it. You can't compete that way; you need your product to stand out from the competition.
Geoffrey P Johnston😎🇨🇦🇺🇦The virtual world already has a far right social media site that platforms: Nazis, Jew haters, Muslim haters, misogynists, anti-Vaxxers, MAGA, climate change deniers, & every other conceivable wingnut & crank. @BlueSky must not allow this site to go down that same dangerous virtual path!!!
Most NYC taxpayers never use the cops or firefighters. Heck, most don't even use most of the roads in the city. (*Civilization* is a "socialist trap" by the glibertarian definition of the phrase, even if they don't realise it.)
USA TODAY OpinionOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Happy "There Will Come Soft Rains" Day to my fellow blast-shadows.
Lisa KadonagaSoft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012
