    I don&#39;t think you should be able to call an offside if the &quot;defending&quot; player isn&#39;t bothering to move. But maybe I don&#39;t understand this game.

    Messi still needs to score two to get the golden boot.

    I don&#39;t like #FIFA, but if Argentina goes on to win on the basis of that &quot;foul&quot; call, given how many blatant fouls haven&#39;t been called, I will be sad.

    So... can we just vote now about who deserves to have won this thing? #Fifa #worldcup #Spain

    My news feed is full of shitty people doing shitty things to ensure that the most powerful among us get to break laws and commit violence with impunity. I am *so* ready to have the pendulum swing back to recognizing and respecting human Rights and dignity. #uspoli #ICC

    Hello #Ottawa #ottbike crowd. I have a couple of fixed six-loop bike racks to sell. They are unused and were in storage as spares before I acquired them. $150 each or $225 for both. Pick up is preferred, but I am planning to buy a trailer, so I may be able to deliver later in July.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@andymckay/116681633385279611 So much, this. I&amp;#39;m still skipping all the &amp;quot;Produce of USA&amp;quot; vegetables, but it is frustrating how we continue to be provided no options for certain things (I&amp;#39;m looking for you, broccoli). #cdnpoli #boycottUSA

    @chris I admire the gall of the UCP in (incorrectly) calling out Naheed Nenshi for not rapidly reporting his suspicion about illegal use of personal information at a meeting their own staff attended. &amp;quot;Look at these irresponsible left-wingers. They can&amp;#39;t even be trusted to monitor our law-breaking!&amp;quot; #cdnpoli #ABpoli

    Do you ever think it might be you? I keep ending up in the middle of significant organizational change. I&amp;#39;ve gotten good at navigating it, but I&amp;#39;m tired!

    @EdwinG I didn&amp;#39;t feel it either. My wife texted me from home where she felt it and noted her coffee making waves

    @johnefrancis @ottaross It seems to have died down, but a few years back there was a lot of discussion and speculation about the increase in seismic activity in Alberta aligning with the increase in fracking extraction. Sometimes there isn&amp;#39;t direct causal evidence, but the theory seems plausible...

    @gazeshift I was surprised on the fourth guess, but I was running out of possible configurations! Until that line turned green I was feeling some stress.

    @CJPaloma I love that term and think I will adopt it going forward!

    I just read Cody Mallette&amp;#39;s vigorous defense of the notwithstanding clause in the National Post. It seems thoughtful and balanced, but it&amp;#39;s bullshit. You can bet your ass off that these right wing proponents of legislative bodies superceding jurisprudence or actual inalienable human rights would go to pieces if any province invoked s33 to strip property rights rather than just abuse marginalized communities and children. Notwithstanding, Rights are worthless #cdnpoli #notwit...

    Microsoft&amp;#39;s May 2026 upgrade fail just cost us $250 in data recovery and many many hours of lost time trying to restore and reconfigure my wife&amp;#39;s laptop. The impunity with which these large corporations can screw over their &amp;quot;customers&amp;quot; (read: hostages) is despicable. #microsoft #enshittfication

    I just finished my final review of 118 applicants for a summer posting we had up. After two rounds of quick review against our must-haves and want-to-haves, I was left with 16. The third review is deeper and involves assessment. After I finished my scoring, I looked again at the cover letters. 11 of the 16 were absolutely written by AI, with one more likely assisted by AI. Of the others, three are in my top four. #AritificalIntelligence #hiring

    OpenAI showed up at Parliament Hill today without satisfactory answers to the questions asked about their safety and reporting protocols. They had lots of time to prepare. They could have asked ChatGPT to write them something. I have a suggestion for Canada&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;AI Minister&amp;quot;, Evan Solomon: try regulations. #cdnpoli #AI

    @johnefrancis Maybe updating to 4.5.4 changed things. My second column just updated with my initial post due to the included hashtag... but 25 minutes after I created it. I wonder if there&amp;#39;s a setting controlling the frequency of queries

    @johnefrancis Ah... that is helpful. So my cdnpoli feed is only showing posts tagged with that from people that I already follow, since I have what is essentially a single-user instance

    ICE are committing domestic terrorism in the United States. It&amp;#39;s remarkable that the media is allowing the fascists to describe events as if the innocent victims of government-sponsored terrorism are responsible for the violence that ended their lives. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. And fuck the spineless international political class who continue to turn a blind eye or play appeasement games. I&amp;#39;m looking at you. Carney. #uspoli #ReneeGood #ICE #Minneapolis #cdnpoli

    @evan I had to vote one week or less because my wife ordered from Hello Fresh fruit the first time ever as an experiment and I cooked the first one yesterday. Not impressed and we won&amp;#39;t be doing that again. It might skew your poll though. I know most people went through this process two or three years ago and we were just resistant

    @YOW_Weather I&amp;#39;m sure it&amp;#39;s a total coincidence that the last four years are all in the top 7 of the slowest arrivals of cold weather recorded.

    You know, for a long time I thought that Brexit was going to be the biggest self-own in the 21st century. Then the USA elected Donald Trump for a second term. Their pain is only just beginning, and I don&amp;#39;t see any route to recovery.
