    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    Does Canada even have any high-profile politicians who are actual progressives? Is there a Canadian equivalent of Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, Warren, or Franken before he was kicked out? And, does the parliamentary system provide any chance at all that such a personage could ever become Prime...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Except almost all of those weapons are in the hands of Trump supporters. I could see a lot of them showing up to "help" the military, taking potshots at anyone who pisses them off and escalating conflicts way worse than the military would on its own. But Trump will praise them for doing so and...

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    It's a Huion Kamvas 13. The... first generation, I guess? They seem to have skipped straight from the "Kamvas 13" to the "Kamvas 13 3rd generation" unless the Pro is what they consider to be the second. I was mostly looking at XP-Pen's offerings, which were also on sale at the time, until the...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I imagine anyone who would dare tell him anything he didn't want to hear was fired outright some time ago, and is now working for one of the other EV startups. As such, the company is utterly unsalvageable even if they could get rid of him. You can't reverse a brain drain.

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    After over a decade of making do with a Wacom Graphire and then eight years of making do with a Bamboo that I found at a garage sale, I finally broke down and bought a tablet with a built-in screen! It came this afternoon. I've been waffling about getting one because they're usually over $200...

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    So hey, how'd things work out for the nephew? I was reminded of this thread again today because I finally took ownership of a screen-have tablet myself, a refurbished Huion Kamvas 13 that NewEgg had a flash sale on. I'd been waffling for ages about whether one would be worth the investment, but...

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Yeah that's the other problem, Israel is a parliamentary system where the only people actually being voted for are their legislators, and I assume they're like the UK and Canada where elections regularly get scheduled on an ad-hoc basis by the people currently in charge rather than on a fixed...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    People ought to know that you should never open-staple anything except a corkboard unless there's something solid under it. That's why the "trigger" in an office stapler is on the underside; you're supposed to press it against the solid thing or the stapler's metal base. In this case the...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Also, there's only one way Elon could know that Trump is in the Epstein files, which is that he's in them too. Which is also a huge "Well duh."

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    So, something interesting happened since this story broke. I happened to catch another report on it on TV, and they described the victim as a "crypto investor", whereas the MSN article uses it to describe the perpetrator. Now, it's definitely true that the victim is a crypto investor; that's why...

    AI don't trust techbros

    The legacy of the Mechanical Turk lives on. I wonder how many more such scams will be uncovered in the coming months. There's a lot of people in India.

    The PC building and repairing thread.

    On my old system, when I was dual-booting, I had some special program to copy files off my Linux drive. It was the only way to actually do it, because while Linux would recognize and mount the Windows drive just fine, and let me pull files off it, it refused to let me copy files onto it, giving...

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    But renaming ships and forts named after Confederate soldiers would be "erasing history", don'tcha know.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Did I dream it or was there a post here just the other day that's now been deleted? Something about Labour leadership aiming to dismantle "DEI" even though that's not a term anyone in Britain has ever used?

    LGBQT+ News & Articles

    Hot take: Every "upbeat" Pride event in the US this year should be canceled in favor of a protest. If the organizers are the establishment, people should refuse to participate and protest the event itself.

    Deltarune chapter 3 & 4 hype thread

    Anyway, two days to go, it's speculation time. Chapter two gave us a lot of plot threads to tug on, the big one for me being what happened to December. My theory is that she somehow disappeared into a dark fountain and became a missing persons case that Asgore and his police department couldn't...

    King Of The Hill returns

    Aside from all the women being required by law to wear burqas, I suppose. Honestly, that sounds like it would have made for a more interesting new direction to take the show, rather than something that gets brought up as part of their backstory and then never mentioned again. To quote Ben...
