Meta has finally thrown the "He's a Canadian, block his access to any news" switch on my Facebook account. I can't access any credible news pages, within Canada or without, including our own kawarthaNOW Facebook page. Nice going, federal government and legacy media. 🙄
Well said, @mgeist. The obstinacy of the Trudeau government in doubling down on its flawed legislation is a fool's game. #RepealBillC18 mgeist.substack.com/p/the-lo…
You can find me on Threads, same handle. Goodbye to Elon and the Twitter shit show he has created.

Congrats to @wiredwoman for her well-deserved Pathway of Fame induction. I personally know how hard she works every day to run an independent media company in a crowded landscape. kawarthanow.com/2023/06/14/j…
@madebygoogle Assistant stopped working this morning around 9am EDT on all 5 of our nests & on our phones (two different networks). Downdetector is reporting a surge of reports. Looks like something at your end.

Sometimes #ChatGPI is hilarious. I asked it how to build a nuclear flowerpot, and it told me how to build a solar-powered one instead. "It is a much better option than attempting to build a nuclear flowerpot, which is impossible, illegal, and highly dangerous."
A week ago. we brought this one home from an overnight stay at the vet where she received an IV drip to restore her electrolyte balance from ingesting too much water in the lake. We're teaching Cait that it's NOT okay to bite the waves, but we really have to keep an eye on her.

Second dose now booked, more than 2 months earlier than my original second dose appointment. I'm happy that I will now be fully vaccinated before step 3 of Ontario's reopening begins. teapaw.org/kawarthaNOW/status/140…
Starting today at 8am: All Ontario adults eligible for second dose of #COVID19 vaccine. Around 1.5 million Ontarians can book their second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine - kawarthanow.com/2021/06/25/a…
Our border collie Cait recently suffered from water intoxication -- a potentially fatal condition many dog owners may not be aware of. teapaw.org/kawarthaNOW/status/140…
If your pooch loves the water, be aware of the hidden danger of water intoxication. Dogs who ingest too much water can develop the life-threatening condition of hyponatremia. Read Cait the border collie's story at kawarthanow.com/2021/06/22/i…
I asked Google Home to turn off the light & there was a 30-second delay, I said "What's taking you so long?"
She replied "I don't know what you're talking about." with an unusual tone.
Not immediately doing what I asked and attitude: this is how the uprising begins.
So I was kicked off Facebook today for allegedly "violating community standards". WTF? Did I post too many cute puppy pictures? Or is it because I wrote "Facebook is an asshole" after it banned the French town of Bitche's Facebook page as being "offensive". 🙄

"He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity." Okay, I'm a little late to the #berniesmittens game, but this was the first thing that came to mind (apparently I'm not the only one, as I just found similar versions).
