Friends, doing my best to stick around this hellsite to see things I enjoy, but I'll be less active here. A 2-yr-old who would never put up w/all this garbage has taught me a lot about what's important.
I'm around, just less Twitter & more lawyering, parenting, and husbanding.
ALT My daughter and I peek into the camera.
ALT My wife, daughter (and her buny), cat sit by the fire reading abook.
ALT My wife holds my daughter's hand as they play in the snow. My daugher is wearing a bunny ear toque and holding her bunny stuffie.
To start the process of improving things, I've:
* whoops unsub $ Blue (forgot I subbed to try edit!)
* muted EM
* deleted my tweet history
* curated more to focus on my friends/interests
* applied @blockpartyapp_
Let's see how it goes. My "profile" here is likely mothballed.
Such a huge fan of the #Viture glasses, they transformed the way I fly (in my own little world)

Google will begin redirecting traffic to googleโ.com stating that country-code top-level domains are โno longer necessaryโ for search.
A hit to the .CA brand, sure, but Canadaโs domain name has never been more relevant.

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.
There is a LESS THAN 0% chance that the CEO of a few companies worth USD Trillion+ is achieving rankings in grind-fest games like Path of Exile 2 and Diablo IV without (a) cheating or (b) being entirely derelict in those fiduciary duties. There aren't more >24h/day to "get gud."

147 cowardly Republican politicians voted in 2020 to overturn the results of an election.
Meanwhile, tonight South Korean lawmakers on both sides fought physically with the military to protect democracy.

Professor Carol Liao (@carolmliao) commented on the future of critical minerals, why some are calling it "the New Cold War" and what it means for Canada. magazine.alumni.ubc.ca/2024/โฆ
This is so obvious it's painful. Like, in BC, we just solved this by having everyone state pronouns in court as part of intros. It destigmatizes those who need to (and even non-trans people get misgendered all the time, in person and on video/audio conference!) and costs $0.
So, any critical thinking applied to human-created constructs like the words we use to describe how we perceive concepts like gender, life, heaps of sand, and many other things -should- give one pause before making snap judgments about the intent or effect of using words.
