I'm a web developer that lives in Toronto. I try to tweet about things I like, but end up complaining a lot. Tweets about hockey, video games, and the internet.

Based on these first three games, are we sure Ottawa actually made the playoffs?

@TychoBrahe Thanks for keeping the PA Forums up for as long as you guys have. I've been a member for over 20 years. Sad to see it being cut loose but I totally understand everything has its time. It never should have lasted this long to begin with!

This needs to be unequivocally disqualifying as a Prime Minister of Canada.

Full stop.

@DanRyckert Oh man, I had this game as a kid! I remembered it earlier this year and I could not remember its name. Thanks for the reminder!

@JeffGrubb She fast.

If they're gonna make electric cars that are built like bricks I want them to look like this and not the cybertruck

The Ontario government is shutting the Science Centre today citing an engineer’s report – which does *not* say the place must close or that all work is urgent. What a betrayal.

Half-Life is woke because you play a college grad who turns up late for work, hates the US military and liberates a race of slaves

I made some trophies for a tournament I'm running this weekend.

[Cohen is a ghost @skullmandible]

we developed the ability to talk to each other and communicate on a scale and fidelity unimaginable at any other point in human history and it drove us absolutely fucking insane in less than my lifetime

Do you remember when you joined X? I don't because it was called Twitter back then.

It isn't just AI generated text that is starting to bleed over into search results.

The main image if you do a Google search for Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (whose version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow you have probably hear) is a Midjourney creation right from Reddit.

(man whose former Mayor, the brother of the current Premier who won in a landslide, saw no drop in approval rating after he smoked crack on video, with the leak of said video leading to a jailhouse stabbing and a murder): "the craziest thing is Americans will still vote Trump,"

(local man whose Provincial Premier is facing no consequences after opening protected wetlands for real estate development in exchange for covert money donated through his daughter's stag & doe party): "how 'bout this crazy stuff in the States with Trump eh?"

Me as a child would be so impressed at how many computers I own now. Just, surrounded by different computers. And so many of them have reconfigurable touchscreen interfaces like the Okudagrams on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The alternate definition of the verb, ‘tweet’, as in, ‘to make a posting on the Twitter online message service’, is in the actual dictionary. No other social media app has anything like it. Imagine disposing of that level of brand recognition because of a mid-life crisis.

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal.

And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist.

Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

We won’t forget that Doug Ford’s Conservatives cut 67% from the Ontario Emergency Forest Firefighting budget and are fighting to reverse them.

Wildfires have been a reality for northern Ontarians for years, and it’s getting worse.

Ontario is short 50 fire crews. #onpoli
