Managed a 6km walk across town this evening. Sidewalks were cleared (good) but there were patches of black ice to watch out for (not good). Winter boots don’t make it any easier. So looking forward to spring!

PLEASE BOOST!

This is HUGE: On March 28, millions of Americans will rise up for the next nationwide NO KINGS Rally of nonviolent action, demonstration, and protest.

The flagship event will be at the Minnesota state capitol in St. Paul—the heart of the movement against ICE and fascism, where Minnesotans are rising up in resistance after federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

MoveOn, hundreds of partners, and thousands of volunteers are actively planning a massive surge of protests, with millions of Americans across the USA taking to the streets.

It is poised to be the largest day of protest in U.S. history.

For Canadians who participate in #ElbowsUp, please, for the love of all that's holy, don't fall for the maple-washing that's going on. Where ingredients are sourced is largely irrelevant. That's just telling you where the labour is getting exploited. Check the **OWNERSHIP** of companies. That's where the money flows.

As a practical example, French's Ketchup uses "Canadian tomatoes" sure. That means Canadian workers are getting pennies while McCormick's, a US firm, is getting dollars.

U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on a panel together at the 62nd Munich Security Conference along with Matthew Whittaker, United States ambassador to NATO. They talked about complicated issues of foreign policy and geo-diplomacy for an hour or so and it was, at the time, seen as an uncontroversial, non-newsworthy conversation. Yet a few days later, the press was full of stories about their slip-ups and lack of knowledge. Emily Horne, a former National Security Council and State Department spokesperson, did a deep dive into what had happened. What she found? Stories from "pink slime" sites — local news publications that are largely funded by right-wing dark money groups — picked up and "laundered" into real news by POLITICO, The New York Times and more.

Curious where my Best Buy order was being shipped from I searched for #Woodbridge, ON on #Wikipedia and it did not disappoint. I cannot imagine any commercial encyclopedia having the extent of local history for small towns (and maybe not small now) as Wikipedia does. It's a gem.

Gavin Newsom is a huge piece of shit.

Emmett Macfarlane: Albert Premier Danielle Smith’s vision is one that would create a nightmarish, dystopian underclass. It is a cruel, inherently racist agenda, straight from the far-right populist playbook we have seen play out in the United States. It is anti-Canadian. #abpoli

A lot of people would have to die before this became an issue but would a simpler solution than 15 countries amending legislation not be for Andrew The Disgraced to simply pre-emptively abdicate from any future claim to the Throne.

In other news apparently it's been ten days since I've dropped an "F" bomb here on Threads, that is deeply uncharacteristic, I suspect I may have been replaced by a pod person version of me

I get my computer setup is janky as heck but it really pays off! I'm gonna switch up my main compute module this year but my screen/monitor/battery components will still be usable! Ship of thesius as a computing platform.

If you are turned away at the polls in the USA, your legal response must be:

"Please give me a provisional ballot and a receipt as required by law."

I hope Danica Patrick doesn’t have any plans to ever visit Canada.🇨🇦

To be clear. Threatening the sovereignty of other countries is not a joke and I don’t take it that way. Touch this land and die you stupid ignorant fascist.
