  • I don’t understand. Cars have computer chips in them, they have had for awhile. But what needs to be updated? What part of a vehicle, that affects its ability to drive, needs to have an over the air update?

    Update when you take it to a dealer? I mean I guess? The question is the same but at least then it’s just 1-2 a year and updated while it’s in there so if it goes wrong then they are holding the bag.

    But why? What has changed in the world over the last 8 weeks the needed to be communicated to the car…







  • The headline is doing exactly that. My first reaction was “of course some asshole is, probably a conservative.” And then I clued into the photo and recognized the buffoon. If I wasn’t a Canadian, or didn’t have the picture, or maybe wasn’t good with faces, I would have scrolled by not realizing the idiot in question iis the leader of the Conservative Party.

    A responsible headline would have said that. It might as well have said “A random white guy from Canada is openly spreading propaganda.” I mean it’s a true headline right? Not misleading at all.




  • Finished. Last 3rd was stronger, but yeah just references to stone cutters and the school uniforms.

    The titular moment was alright, but the set construction team apparently didn’t have the budget for a double swing kitchen door so that effect was lost. I was very excited to hear the exchange between Skinner and Mother but it was shown in pantomime with a Chalmers soliloquy overlayed.

    Not worth 45 minutes, but they nailed a few of the shots (Skinner flashbacking to nam) in composition.

    Art is subjective. I’m glad it exists.



  • Cute.

    I was out in the woods this spring and walked into a brand new family of grouse. Momma was hissing (yeah I didn’t know they did that either) at me and I took a step and the forest floor burst into tiny brown pingpong ball panic. They were cheeping and fleeing frantically, some would step on a dried curled leaf and that would see-saw them tumbling away. My hear melted they were so cute, it took all my willpower not to scoop one up to hold it.

    From their perspective of course I was a terrifying Godzilla come to end their whole family and world. So it probably wasn’t a great day for them. But it was a highlight of the year for me.




  • I was listening to… CBC front burner podcast I think? And they mentioned that he has shifted his position on immigrants. He was quoted in the past saying any immigrant who graduated post secondary in the US should have a green card attached to the diploma.

    Then some right wing nutjobs were mad about that and we’re targetting his events and harrassing him until he fell in line.

    So yeah. He will change his mind, if he is bullies enough.

    Also I think the group that were harassing his events was Nick Fuentas (spelling?) and now some of the coverage is indicating the shooter might have been a follower of Nick? I’m not sure how confirmed that is so do your own research.

    But if it’s just right wing nutjobs killing slightly less to the right right wing nutjobs… Idk man.
