Maritime Canadian splitting their time between Halifax and Italy. Politics, IT Security, music, bicycling, not necessarily in that order. Who am I kidding, this will just be a bunch of dad jokes

In the wake of a certain president arbitrarily renaming things, I once again emphasize my commitment, as a proud Canadian, to insisting that the correct spelling of that great western state is "Colourado"

Downloading Kali for the first time in forever (totally legal reasons) and the default turns out to be not a live-bootable version (why?! Since when?!) So now downloading the live-boot version which is only available via torrent (why?!) and it's stuck on 99% wtf with all of this

The other day I described the area of Prince Edward Island I'm from as a "wang-shaped piece of land directly south of Summerside" and then brought up a map for reference and he was like "oh wow you weren't kidding" so anyway Lower Bedeque has some serious BDE going on

This is the part I've been struggling with today. The denunciation can arguably resolve her as a person and we can then arguably celebrate her life, but that doesn't undo the damage that her lack of intersectionality did to non-white non-cis women. So at best I land on "It's complicated"
All feminism is intersectional, and on that, Gloria Steinem was not intersectional for a good part of her life, even though she later denounced the white feminism she created.

Tim Hortons licensing “Harry Potter” in 2026 essentially means directly funding J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans crusade

Brief review of the new Americ anFootball album: musically it rules, start to end, barely a misstep anywhere. Lyrically it's a cringe-fest 90% of the time. You got a pass for third-rate Morrissey moping without the ironic wink as a teen/early 20s guy, but you're in your 40s now! Show some growth!

I missed the whole origin story (at least the current one that everyone is pearl-clutching about atm) but what's with all the blusky is dying blusky is a bubble it's dying talk? I mean, yeah it sucks but it's also the least shitty option out there so how are we supposed to react to this old news?
The thing about “Bluesky is a bubble” takes is that they start with the false assumption that social media is our job or some sort of responsibility.
This isn’t my job. It’s probably not yours, either.
It’s not our responsibility to ruin our days on a Nazi hellsite or to talk to dummies here.

What if the Artemis II mission is just an incredibly elaborate long-play prank by NASA? "April Fools everyone! We ain't going to the moon you dumbasses our funding has been slashed so hard we could barely even afford this Astrovan! And a DEI crew as well?! Lololol!"
Well played, NASA.

I gave up on baseball--and by extension the Jays--around the time Jesse Barfield and/or Tony Fernández retired so in that respect I really don't give a shit who wins the series, but on the other hand the Dodgers and by extension all of the USA can go suck it so OK Blue Jays let's kick ass

More than 23 years after my first visit to Firenze, when I showed up to the Uffizi first thing in the morning & saw a mile long line and decided "Nope", I finally paid a visit. Breathtaking all around, but my favorite work hanging on the wall was this statement of everyone's current mood

I'm very much antifascist but I haven't actually officially joined antifa. Does that still make me a terrorist in the eyes of US law, and if so should I just make it official and pay the annual antifa membership dues?
