@TristinHopper i can remember when the wheat board went the way of the buffalo. i can only hope the the milk 'n eggs ministry of special favours floats off into the sunset.

@terrynewman why is the person with the microphone speaking in english? are the participants of this demonstration predominantly anglophones?
i find it it entirely sketchee.

trivia - an anomaly to this custom and a break from the protocol of not running against the wife/sister/relative in the next election occurred in texas when james p. buchanan died in 1937: lyndon baines johnson campained against buchanan's wife and won the special election for texas’s 10th congressional district starting his career in washington dc.

looking stateside, it appears that the wnba spectacle is morphing into a version of roller derby "lite" - meaning basketball for women is moving from a sports genre to "entertainment."

@millerman from perplexity: The Royal Montreal Golf Club (founded 1873, Canada) is the oldest golf club in continuous existence in North America.

@millerman golf town will set you up in your expensive quest of endless frustration. this will be offset slightly by the company you keep out on the course. 🙂

@rupasubramanya not sure that this is anything more than a demonstration of a healthy mind in a healthy body.
both attributes are desirable in a leader, no?

[johnnyonline @mt_royal_eh]

@alexbrown17 yes! the last crown prosecutor any criminal would want on their case would be larry brock.

[johnnyonline @mt_royal_eh]

@brianlilley woe be any criminal prosecuted & tried by larry brock.

empiricism lives.
the best introductions are featured via peter robinson's Uncommon Knowledge / Hoover Institution youtube channel -
thomas sowell's sense of humour is epic!

[Hoover Institution @HooverInst]

Thomas Sowell is known as an economist. But is he one of America's greatest historians?

Victor Davis Hanson (@VDHanson), Niall Ferguson (@NFergus), and Coleman Hughes (@Coldxman) explore Sowell's sweeping view of history, his enduring ideas, and why a new generation is discovering his work decades after it was written.

@Aaronpete_ excellent discussion, perspectives and information.

@TSmith1867 i will be more than happy to deliver as many very large $100k rocks from quebec to saskatchewan any day and as many as their twisted little hearts desire.
i had to read that 3 times and still want to report a crime.

@BobRansford @Ayan604 @OksanaShto23690 @VancouverSun 🙂 --- getting up on the wrong side of the bed is "a BC Human Rights Code violation."

@BarbaraRKay so... i guess this individual was elected on the basis of a sports prowess / fame recognition candidacy and not for his insightful thinking. hmmm.
he should resign and create a business making autographed paddles or something he can get a grip on.

the evolution of information retrieval is accelerating...
character and phrase match corrupted by hustlers begat text with operators which begat the era of relevant "content" which begat first page paid placement which begat the era of deep pockets.
AI has introduced the era good questions.
the quality of "search" results is now dependent on the quality and precision of your question.
this has morphed into the age old maxim - you get what you pay for. as grok would say - think harder.

[johnnyonline @mt_royal_eh]

it's good to know via the info you have provided that the ambitions of politicians make it easier to characterize their "policy" as some vulgar variation of gambling.
gambling with money that is not your own must be quite a thrilling and intoxicating occupation.
where's my crystal ball? i want to be paid for that job too. 🙂

[johnnyonline @mt_royal_eh]

i do believe that blacklock's reporter @mindingottawa is a national treasure! kudos to @harrisonlowman for the pointer.

[johnnyonline @mt_royal_eh]

these days ai-generated media is everywhere - and while it is fairly easy to identify, it is possible (because the quality is rapidly improving) to dupe an untrained eye into thinking that whatever they're looking at is real. crowd smarts usually jump all over anyone who might mistakenly re-post an accomplished piece of slop (oxymoron) --- however...
now might be a good time for industry leaders in the ai media business to adopt a discreet standard embedded icon that lets anyone know that the realistic clickshit they are looking at is in fact, some creative fiction.
cut the knees out from under individuals maliciously peddling fantasy as reality. ha!
fwiw - grok imagine already tags and identifies imagery.
