I think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group

the weakest most sign-wavy liberalest protest is still more impactful and radical than your post, whatever your post says

they were pretty heavy for a laptop but in every other respect they were great. and extremely durable!

it's absolutely true there's too much political talk on BlueSky to be enjoyable. i would rather make up fake hockey players and dunk on the Sens all day. but our superpower neighbour is going openly fascist and musing about annexing us. casts a bit of a pall over things

Aside: the Sony Vaio I got in 2010 was the best laptop I've ever owned. If they'd kept selling them in Canada I would never have bought another brand.

I still think the Sony VAIO PCG-505 (1998) is one of top 5 best looking laptops ever designed.

95% of grumbling about “cancel culture” is disingenuous reactionary bullshit … sustained by the 5% which is legit.

The thing which makes The Thing We Are Talking About When We Talk About “Cancel Culture” scary is the capriciousness and lack of proportion.

in hindsight it makes sense to see cancel culture as a harbinger of the end of shame rather than an excess of it. "shame" presupposes stable social norms and a sense of what one did wrong and how it could have been avoided. not suddenly a thunderbolt from zeus thrown at random people

of the many bands of my youth who flamed out before they really went anywhere, Snowden was one of the best. rhythm section that sounds like artillery and a very cool wintry tone

The pure hater energy Vlad brought to this series is all time stuff. He wanted to annihilate the Yankees and tap dance on their graves. And he did it!

the Jays beating the Yankees is an important reminder that as dark as things may seem, bad things can still happen to bad people
