Looks like Canada finally has a centrist party -- at least in name. Remains to be seen whether or not it's a real thing or some would-be politician with an opinion and a Twitter account.

⚠️ Warning to anyone on the mstdn.party or mstdn.plus servers, recommend you move to another server ASAP.

Their only admin is apparently unreachable, and his accounts haven't posted anything since Dec 2022.

You can find a new server at joinmastodon.org/servers or fedi.garden (the servers listed there have at least two admins and promise to give 3 months warning of any shutdown).

There's a step-by-step guide to moving your account at fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-

my career would not be what it is today without there having been a free and open Twitter API. Making it paid-only is a monumentally stupid business decision but also just like… what a loss for internet weirdos everywhere

I missed the Green Comet. The next time it comes back, in 50,000 years, I'll be viewing it from my simulated consciousness uploaded into the cloud.

Because they are warm, durable and comforting. Also, they're on the east coast and it's been a part of our culture since the late 80s.

I found the perfect word to describe Taylor Swift's songwriting approach.

Everyone (...well... ok, Twitter...) is talking about Jordan Peterson's terrible steak advice but it just made me want to go and find a (medium) really well executed Wagyu. 🥩

People are needlessly concerned that the unavoidable of (language and visual) tools will "break the landscape". The quality and quantity of "fake news" and other published BS may increase but people with the and to distinguish between and will always have the upper hand.

Humanity was in this situation of "disruptive innovation" many times in the past, and it somehow managed to grow up of it a little bit better than before.
