It’s Pet Obesity Awareness Week, and it’s the perfect time to take a closer look at our pets’ health beyond the cute squish and extra fluff.

🚨Transparency Boosting Bill on Hochul's Desk🚨

S2520-B/A3425-A by @jamesskoufis.bsky.social and Steven Raga is the most significant improvement to the Freedom of Information Law in years & would shorten the time the public waits for records. Governor Hochul should sign it.

“There are embedded strips in the pavement. If you pass them at a certain speed, it will arm the system,” he said. “You have to be doing roughly 25 kilometres an hour [or more] to trigger them. But there’s no minimum time you have to stop [if you’re turning right], it just doesn’t work that way.”

Shapiro said that in Ontario, red light cameras are triggered by the speed you’re going when you cross the stop line – not by how long you stay stopped at the light.

...you can get a red light camera ticket if you don’t come to a complete stop before turning right at a red light – but none said there’s a minimum requirement for how long you have to stay stopped.

@rebelandroid.com I always wondered why nobody ever did a C64/SID version of those Carl Sagan songs. Imagine the demo potential. CIA driven music, of course.

Any chance we can get you to create a system friendly version of this song for the C64/SID @rebelandroid.com ?

@rebelandroid.com no friggin way!! I sort of know Melodysheep -- helped him promote the song from the start. Sort of lost touch over the years. I have 2 autographed 45's he mailed me as a thank-you. And I've played this and other SOS songs at Carl's grave. I know he can't hear it. I do it anyway.

What specifically has she said, that's Nazi/hate speech?
My time in Canada implied everything is hate speech or a "hate crime*.

Hate is an emotion (which can be un/reasonable). Only a fool thinks they can regulate that.

* notably odd exception:

Disagree. She has a POV and should be allowed to express it. And you have a right to an opposing view.

Behaviors? I do have a problem with false statements, if they can be fairly defined.

What I take issue with is the political orthodoxy that seeks to shut down her viewpoints. But Canada historically has been hostile to free speech. As compared to the US.

Seems like a hit piece because it fails to go into details. Seems like it boils down to 2 things:

1) Statements of non-facts. OK, we can punish people for being careless or slanderous.
2) Disagreeing with her viewpoints.

#2 is where I draw the line. There's a political orthodoxy, and that's bad.
