Trump's proposed renaming of Lake Ontario will disrupt the classic mnemonic for Great Lakes names. I propose the following replacement, which also reflects the administration's achievements. Shifting from HOMES to SHAME.

A Great Lakes map “updated” for Trump’s supposed renaming of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” The old mnemonic HOMES is dramatically crossed out and replaced with the more politically appropriate SHAME: Superior, Huron, America, Michigan, Erie.

Scarred and tired Torontonian seeking bright eyed revolutionaries to re-enact Cygnet Committee. Yes. I know how it will end and I’m prepared for that.

If you don't think a conference talk can change your life, you're not going to the right conferences. It's happened for me more than once, and for other people I know. Find a way to make it possible for yourself.

Of course there are dozens of other talks. On C#, C++, Rust, frameworks and libraries and tools and more. Whatever you want to learn more about will be here for you. Just make sure you leave space in your schedule for the talk you didn't know you needed - the talk that might change your life.

A conference in Canada should have some awareness of its own context, and the issues the country faces. What is "Indigenous Tech"? How can "allies" help First Nations, Metis, and Inuit developers thrive and exercise their strengths? ndctoronto.com/agenda/truth...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
