@chris Nothing convinces me more than this that Canada should buy Gripens (aside from the minimal F35s we already paid for).

[PP's answer (which yes, is worse)]

CONGRATULATIONS. DOWN WITH SOCIALISM
Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre Congratulations to President Trump on successfully arresting narco-terrorist and socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro, who should live out his days in prison. The legitimate winner of the most recent Venezuelan elections, Edmundo Gonzalez, should take office along with the courageous hero and voice of the Venezuelan people, Maria Corina Machado. Down with socialism. Long live freedom.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” https://www.404media.co/google-has-chosen-a-side-in-trumps-mass-deportation-effort/

Attached: 3 images Nothing like starting the year with a WHISTLEBLOWER confession from a BURNED-OUT, disgruntled - and rightfully ANGRY - Big Tech developer. Disgraceful Product strategy. Might be legal but screams immorality! This is Big Tech’s playbook: dehumanize workers, manipulate customers, and call it ‘disruption.’ I don’t care how “good” the service feels. As a consumer and a worker, it’s time to choose and redefine BETTER! Original Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/1q1mzej/im_a_developer_for_a_major_food_delivery_app_the/

I'm sorry. There's evil, and then there's whatever the fuck this is "Israel on Tuesday said it had suspended more than two dozen humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and CARE, from operating in the Gaza Strip for failing to comply with new registration rules." https://apnews.com/article/gaza-israel-hamas-palestinians-ceasefire-war-news-286106d7a5a911704cdcf1c93248e502?link_source=ta_bluesky_link&taid;=6953daba3265bb0001750581&utm;_campaign=trueAnthem:+New+Content+(Feed)&utm;_medium=social&utm;_source=bluesky

I’d be hard pressed to come up with many tv series that have been so consistently great as Stranger Things.

My list would include some of the best shows ever, like Mad Men, Sopranos, The Wire.

Bring on the finale!

I don’t regret my vote, based on my options during the election, but I am extremely disappointed in his policies. Likely killed my future Liberal votes.

Sure would love a strong NDP.

DURING THE COVID LOCKDOWN, IF YOU HAD FAMILY ROUND ON CHRISTMAS DAY, POLICE COULD FORCE ENTRY TO YOUR HOME AND MAKE THEM GO HOME. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS SERVICE IS STILL AVAILABLE, AND IF YOU HAVE TO BOOK?

Shit. I just figured out that the service I have been using to translate non-rss news sites into an RSS feed is a trial and due to expire unless I sign up for a $100/year subscription. Seems a bit excessive for what I’m using it for. Any recs out there for a replacement?

Well, this was an exciting thing to wake up to!

I'm on a list of the best podcasts from women over 50 — alongside amazing women like Amy Poehler, Katie Couric, Michelle Obama, Kara Swisher, Gretchen Rubin, Mel Robbins, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more!

I'm also […]

[Original post on zirk.us]
Screenshot of an online magazine article titled “The 16 Best Podcasts from Women 50 and Over,” with a subhead reading “Women in midlife are dominating the podcast airwaves.” The byline reads “By Helen Carefoot.” Below the headline is a large illustration of three women posed against a blue background with curved grid lines. Amy Poehler stands on the left wearing black, Michelle Obama stands on the right wearing a rust-colored jacket and pants, and Katie Couric is centered in front, smiling and wearing a colorful sleeveless dress. There's a white stick figure on the right with the line "ME!" above it.
