Welcome to a new series where I tell you if the store you’re buying from is wholly Canadian owned, or if it’s only pretending to be.

First up: The Real Canadian Superstore.

Is it wholly Canadian owned?

❌ No, it is not. (But it’s mostly Canadian. Details in the video.)

If you’re Canadian, now is the time to put the Canadian flag emoji 🇨🇦 in your profile name here.

Repost, eh?

What Canada’s response should be:

Turn off the oil.

Wait 72 hours.

Accept victory.

There aren’t a lot of multinational companies one can feel proud about, but kudos to #Apple for standing up to bigotry & racism.

Just next time maybe don’t give the fascist a million bucks for his inauguration party.

Real question…

🇺🇸Americans — do I have this right? ⬇️

Your elected representatives can pass a law, which your Supreme Court upholds…

Then your President can just somehow “override” all that, for any reason, at his whim?

Is that actually how your system works down there?

This is what Google did to their own search engine.

Wars won’t destroy civilization.

The fucking techbros will.

Mark my words.

This is what it looks like when corporate America sells its soul to fascism.

Last week, I returned a new pair of Shure headphones that I'd bought. They just never worked (a surprise, given that Shure is a solid professional brand).

The new one came today. It ALSO did not work.

Turns out, I'd been plugging it into the wrong port in my mixer.

Hi, I'm Tod, and I'm an idiot.

PEOPLE…

Christy Clark is a CONSERVATIVE.

The former “BC Liberal Party,” which she led, despite its name, was not Liberal in the slightest.

Christy Clark was a disaster as British Columbia’s premier.

One thing I love about #Mastodon, which isn't in #Bluesky (yet), is the ability to temporarily turn off your muted words/terms.

Every once in a while I just want to turn them back on briefly so I can really feel the path of gloom, where hope drowns any flicker of happiness that dares to surface.
