Every so often, when I tell someone I'm a mechanical engineer, because it has "mechanic" in the name they assume I know a lot about cars. I don't know that much about cars. I know a lot about video games.

There's a line between "everyone has different tastes and opinions but it's important to critique what we consume" and "I just like to shit on new stuff because I have learned strongly polarized opinions do well on the internet" and some of yall are pretty square on the latter

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

The last time the Americans tried to claim Lake Ontario in 1813, we intentionally lured them into Fort York and then blew up our entire gunpowder magazine to kill as many Americans as possible. A foundation part of Toronto history is "blowing our own fort to smithereens rather than being American"

I feel like there's an interesting dynamic where Canadians have been freaking out for the past year and a half over US tariff threats to destroy our economy and annex us by economic force, and American friends who seem to be mostly unaware it's happening and don't get why we're on edge all the time

Good. It may be painful but better to bite the bullet now. There is no deal with the USA that can be trusted. All that a “deal” does is mark yourself as a sucker that can be extorted for more tomorrow.

After 2019, Uncle Dennis' demands of the Raptors in their negotiations included: - a $10 million "no-show job" - partial ownership of the Maple Leafs - ownership stakes in unrelated corporations (!) Miraculously, in Steve Ballmer they found an equally ridiculous partner for their ridiculous demands
VIA TORONTO STAR: https://www.thestar.com/sports/raptors/inside-kawhi-leonard-s-bizarre-list-of-secret-demands-from-raptors-and-how-they-line/article_9f1b0398-0ebd-4193-bc06-798efda95023.html

But two details stand out, in retrospect. One, Robertson asked for ownership stakes in outside companies: not just the Leafs, which he seemed to believe was separate, but with other companies with whom MLSE had a relationship. And, two, the Raptors were told they needed to match at least $10 million per year in extra sponsorship income. Teams are allowed to introduce players to team sponsors but they cannot negotiate deals, and MLSE was aware of that fact.

But it didn’t end there. As one source put it, when told about all the corporate sponsors in Toronto who would be happy to have Leonard as a pitchman, his camp said, “We don’t want to do anything.” Raptors representatives said any sponsor would want to shoot ads or arrange appearances; Robertson reiterated Leonard didn’t want to do anything for the money.

That’s when the Raptors realized Leonard wasn’t asking to be introduced to Toronto’s lucrative corporate community; they were being asked to arrange no-show jobs, and arrange no-investment investments. MLSE rejected both proposals.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Saw this on the other site and not even finding out it's from a Steve Simmons article will stop me from posting it. It is absolutely insane
When he was general manager of the Arizona Coyotes, there were so many computer terminals on the giant-sized desk of numbers guru John Chayka that it looked like he was trading commodities on Wall St. 

When Chayka was shown the door in Arizona in 2020, it was quickly determined that just one of the computer terminals on his massive desk was in working order — the other five, with data frozen on each screen, were nothing but show.
