Today I got a cheery email from somebody who claims to be the "ethics and compliance" officer for a company called Bright Data. He wanted to have a "no pressure" conversation about the whole AI scraperbot problem. Looking at their web site, this company offers an API that, and I quote, "Bypasses anti-scraping mechanisms and solves CAPTCHAs, ensuring uninterrupted access to the most protected web sites".

After careful consideration for several milliseconds, I have concluded that I really don't have anything to discuss with this person.

But at least their claimed "100M+" of residential IP addresses that they use for their DDOS attacks are "ethically sourced".

If Elon Musk actually leaves DOGE in May, don’t celebrate. And don't let up. Escaping accountability is his whole game. He’s a Nazi, propping up fascism, wrecking lives, and laundering cruelty. Keep the pressure on. Torch his brand. Shatter his legacy. Make sure history spits on his name.

Oh, the humility of being a Tesla driver on a Tesla Takedown day.

(Preordered it in 2019 -- back when Musk's true fascist nature wasn't yet revealed.)

People randomly dissapearing from the streets in the US because the so called "President" doesn't like them looks a scary lot what happened between 1939-1945 in Germany

Remember?

Oh no, the Tory candidate in my riding is an MMA fighter with the last name "Rusniak."

Apparently airline travel bookings from Canada to the US for summer travel are down 75% over this time last year.

You read that right. Seventy-five percent. That's just shy of a million bookings:

March 2024: 1,218,570 bookings
March 2025: 295,982 bookings

Imagine what Elon could have done for trans rights with all his money and power, if he loved his daughter.

When a problem comes along, you must:
40% whip it
3% skip it
9% nib it
46% lie flat and do nothing

I should probably gatecrash the lsfmmbpf summit, since it's in Montreal this year. Might head that way on Wednesday.

Welp, election is upon us. I promise that I will do my best to remember to put it under the CW.

The riding I'm in votes 70-80% Liberal, so I can vote for whoever I like, but this year I might vote Liberal anyway, just as an FU to Poillievre.

When you send a dad joke online, its speed of transmission is measured in special units called "dad-bauds."

New pet peeve -- when people treat email as text messages. I don't want to receive 4 messages from you, each one sentence long.
