Carney is clearly trying to appease Trump as much as possible in order to maintain a weak trade deal for the next few years as he builds up the Canadian economy elsewhere. These gestures state his intentions but he will undoubtedly be forced to align with the US.
In honesty, I didn’t notice it while I was looking at the bird. It was moving too fast and the way it was calling caught my attention, which is ironic when my mental mantra these days is observe, observe, observe. Photography has a way of giving unexpected gifts.
It has been some great baseball. If anyone has a chance to see a game, do it now.
There could be a run here but we still have a long way to playoffs and this year is neck-and-neck for many high calibre teams. It has been a great year to watch the Jays prove themselves.
We have the strong core of Bo, Vladdy, Springer. Their hitting this year was great but still below the high expectations. Many pitchers have figured Vladdy out and he isn’t hitting like he should be. Bo had a slow start to the year and was probably working out past injuries. Where the team really started to explode was the well-rounded roster. Kirk, Barger, Clement, Lukes.. These guys all had some big hot streaks this year and the team chemistry hit a stride.
Relief pitching is probably our weak point but we have some strong starters right now. Berrios, Gausman, and Lauer have been incredible this year. The bullpen still needs work.
If you haven’t been checking in on the Jays, they are at the top of the MLB right now. They are dominating the Tigers. They breezed through the Yankees. Competition is stacked this year but we are still hitting the top. The jump in performance from April has been insane!
The next two weeks could be a breeze but we have the Dodgers and Cubs coming up in mid-August! Let’s go Jays!
Windows is spyware. If you haven’t abandoned it by now after all of Microsoft’s previous anti-consumer practices then you have already agreed to allow it.
You forgot the most important part: it comes with a cute cat assistant.
I’m can’t come up with an absolute upper limit but one of the more notable takes I’ve heard recently is ‘no personal ownership of cars.’
Giger was involved in Species? Dang it now I have to watch it again.
What I do like to see is a continued discussion on how to take back the internet in its current form. The cesspool of online bots and malicious corporate social spaces can be managed or avoided entirely with healthy practices, and yet you never see articles with step-by-step guidelines on how to do this. Instead, articles like this point out a few problems then give up.
Stop using social media entirely or find safe alternatives. Do not engage in online arguments. Control your viewing of political content and tailor your access towards specific trusted sources. Avoid any apps that use scrolling content feeds. Stop using your phone in bed. Lessen your phone use and restrict it to primarily phone calls and texts only.
Platforms could easily redesign their algorithms to stop promoting the most outrageous voices and prioritise more representative or nuanced content.
Corporations are not going to take actions that would benefit your health if it harms their engagement metrics. Bavel missed the mark on how the public should be actively fighting against late-stage capitalism.
I’m envisioning a public campaign against these companies that pull out when the support becomes disadvantageous. They should be permanently blacklisted by the community and true supportive companies should be rewarded. Just a thought.
The corporate flight from LGBT support is sickening. These events are needed more than ever.
I will back up that recommendation with Lumo, a privacy focused AI from the makers of Proton Mail.
