This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

Political cartoon criticizing the Republican platform for favoring untaxed whiskey (jug labeled "Untaxed Whiskey 20¢ Gal.") while presenting war‑taxed common cloth with an 89% tariff, highlighting perceived hypocrisy.

Louis St. Laurent was known as "Uncle Louis" to Canadians. His government brought in RRSPs and an early Medicare. It also began work on the St. Lawrence Seaway and Trans-Canada Highway. One of our greatest and most overlooked Prime Ministers. This is his story. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/12

Black-and-white studio portrait of Louis St. Laurent shown from the chest up, turned slightly to his left. He has short, neatly combed hair parted on the side, a narrow moustache, and a calm expression, with his eyes looking off-camera. He is wearing a dark pinstriped suit jacket, a white collared shirt, and a patterned tie. The background is plain and softly lit, with gentle shadows defining his face and shoulders.

On this day in 1948, George Beurling died. Born in 1921 in Verdun, Quebec, he was known as The Falcon of Malta. He earned the DSO, DFC and the Distinguished Flying Medal & Bar. Learn more in my Deep Dive 👇 buff.ly/EGPyVGt 📸 DND Archives

George Beurling faces the camera in a formal black-and-white portrait, wearing a Royal Air Force uniform with a peaked cap bearing an insignia. His jacket displays pilot wings on the chest, and he wears a collared shirt with a dark tie. His expression is calm, with a slight closed-mouth smile, and the background is plain and softly lit.

I didn't watch enough of Van Deer Beek's work. I should probably rectify that. But as a 48-year-old who RELUCTANTLY followed the advice of his doctor and got a colonoscopy, and then had the GI doctor say, "Tell your doctor he saved your life," all I can think is: GET YOUR DAMN COLONOSCOPIES, PEOPLE.

Oof, the sycophancy problem in LLM's + triggering on any irrelevant details you feed them, recently led a P2 problem call down the wrong pathing for hours. The chatbot is never going to TELL you to step back and ask if this entire inquiry is irrelevant to larger goal. This is your moat. It's mine.

My coworkers are starting to COMPLETELY rely on ChatGPT for anything that requires troubleshooting

And the results are as predictable as you think. On the easier stuff, sure, here's a quick fix. On anything that takes even the slightest bit of troubleshooting,
"Hey LegOz, here's what ChatGPT says we should change!"...and it's something completely unrelated, plain wrong, or just made-up slop.
