Following the victory of Ukrainian protests, we got some good news in Canada as well!

Vlad@vmois· May 22

Unrelated-related. Reminded me of "she works" meme from Ukraine. "Canada works" -> "She works". Make it, make sense why my brain connected it like that.

"Black guy hiding behind tree" meme.

With text: "War Thunder players".

A view from Axios editorial room:

Boardroom suggestion meme - Axios editorial room.

Editor: "Cuba is planning a surprise air attack on U.S. because it is running out of oil and is desperate"

Person 1: "Front page!"
Person 2: "Definitely Exclusive!"
Person 3: "Sounds like Pearl Harbour. Are we sure the data solid?"

Editor gets angry, throws person 3 out.

Really cool website but my battery level was way off. Other metrics were spot on.

How much is left
Battery: 100% · charging
Your device reports 100%, charging — which is also what no-battery-at-all looks like to a webpage. We cannot tell whether you are a laptop on full charge or a desktop without a battery, and neither can any other site. The two are indistinguishable from this side. In 2015, researchers demonstrated that battery level — combined with discharge time — was unique enough to track users across websites for up to thirty minutes. Your exact percentage, right now, is a fingerprint. Firefox removed this API in 2016. Your browser still exposes it.

Just did. Thank you for sharing this option. I was thinking it is only possible to speak in-person or online.

I support pedestrianizing Church Street. The sidewalks are regularly overcrowded - far more people are walking than driving, and pedestrians need more space. Businesses will benefit from increased foot traffic, and it's a great opportunity to showcase Toronto to FIFA visitors who will likely expect pedestrian-friendly streets, as they're common across e.g. Europe.

Ultimately, this is just a two-month pilot program. Rather than debating and overthinking, let's simply do it - the findings can inform future decisions.

"Driving is a privilege - not a right" is an official stance of Government of Ontario (sometimes we can agree with the gov, eh?). If you disagree, you shouldn't be allowed to drive. You are a danger on the road.

Screenshot from Ontaria.ca website that has a text "Driving is a privilege - not a right"

"C'mon, do something" meme.
Text above:

"Meanwhile Ontario's OLG when Kalshi and Polymarket eat into its profits"

Vlad@vmois· Apr 23

This is the best slogan (even if it is just an onomatopoeia)

Vlad@vmois· Apr 13

Okay granpa let's get you to bed meme.

"Do you know they have small devices in groceries to rig prices of your toilet paper"

"Okay grandpa let's get you to bed"

Meme mocking Western media naivety about Russia. Left side shows a feral, bloodied creature labeled "KILL KILL KILL." Right side shows a clueless-looking reporter holding a live microphone, captioned: "Russians are so hard to read / Such complex creatures / So majestic."

@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social your latest video made into The Peak newsletter! Not sure if you can see how much traffic came from the newsletter.

Vlad@vmois· Mar 25

TO folks it is time to spread the plan. Liking on BlueSky is great but it is not enough. Fast Track TO did a hard work of compiling the plan. As a bare minimum, we residents, can send an email to our Councillor - www.toronto.ca/city-governm... If you want something, you should ask for it.

The screenshot of an email to Ward 11 Councillor of Toronto.

The email content:
"""
Dear Councillor Dianne Saxe,

As a Ward 11 resident and daily TTC user, I'd like to bring your attention to a recently published 10-point transit improvement plan by local transportation advocates and professionals: https://fast-track.to/
Toronto's streetcar network is widely recognized as one of the slowest urban transit systems in the world, and it's time to change that. The plan, when implemented fully, estimates cutting streetcar travel times by 40%, reducing bunching and short turns, and saving Torontonians an estimated 20,000 hours per day - roughly $2 billion in value over the first ten years. Faster, more reliable service also means more foot traffic to local businesses along transit corridors - a direct benefit to Ward 11 merchants and the broader tax base.

I'd encourage you to review the plan and consider supporting its implementation.

Thank you for your time.

This not a meme, just a depiction of reality. Esp. after Oscars.

Excited to be a runner-up to a Saturday cartoon captioning in The Peak newsletter! Enjoy my thoughtful take on polymarket 😆

The black and white cartoon. A coach in the middle, a coffee table and two cups with steam. On the left side of the coach, a podcaster is sitting with a mic near his face, on the right, the God is sitting with a mic as left.

The two text lines below submitted by readers of The Peak and selected by staff:

The statement gives me a nice opportunity for a follow up to my follow-up (that I never got reply for, for a month now). Does vague "other major platforms" also includes X? Likely not, cause the guy doesn't care. But let's see.

A new email to Solomon that reads:

Good morning Minister Solomon,

I am a resident of Toronto. I did not receive a reply to my follow-up email from a month ago regarding Grok/X and the CSAM it produces, so I am writing again.

In light of the Tumbler Ridge tragedy and your recent statement, I would like to know whether

"In the coming weeks I will also meet with other major platforms operating in Canada to ensure there is a consistent and clear approach to escalation, local coordination, and youth protection"

means you will also meet with Grok/X and hold them accountable for creating and distributing CSAM?

Thank you for your time.

Watching CIBC adds made me think.

1st picture: Kenworth W900 tuned to look like Kenworth LW, a popular vocational truck that was produced in BC, Canada in 60/70/80s. KW was famously used for logging. 2nd picture: my first logging job north of Redding; learned that air for brakes can indeed run out. @scssoft.com #ATS

The screenshot from ATS game. It depicts a red Kenworth LW (W900 tuned to look like LW) truck on a hill with a view spot. In the background, we can see mountains and heavy forest. Kenworth LW is a popular vocational truck produced in BC, Canada in 60s/70s/80s. It was famously used for logging.

Ontario: make domestic students pay less -> intl students pay majority -> don't expand housing / services because NIMBY and speculations -> people are struggling economically, mad at immigrants -> cut immigration -> colleges have no money -> make domestic students pay more -> win?

Close to Science Fiction and Fantasy authors (never written anything long-form). Plus, I can see speculative fiction writers. How?! It all sounds like a very clever insult and I like it 😆 I do write a lot of speculative bullshit.

Vlad@vmois· Jan 26

Finally sent a follow up email to Solomon. Let's see. I do not have a lot of hopes that words will influence him or other MPs but you never know. Will set a reminder and send another email in few weeks if things do not improve.

Part 2 of the reply re addressing CSAM and non consensual porn generation on X.

In addition, the government is working on new online harms legislation focused on improving platform safety and accountability, as well as updated data and privacy protections that would give Canadians more control over how their personal data is used in the digital environment.

Technology companies and AI developers must take responsibility for the tools they create and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent harm. Our focus remains on protecting Canadians, enforcing the law, and ensuring digital technologies are used in a way that is safe and responsible.

Thank you again for taking the time to write. Your concerns are important, and we remain committed to addressing online harms while supporting innovation that serves the public good.

Sincerely,
Office of Evan Solomon

Sent an email yesterday. Used your template with some changes, but the message is pretty much same. Got standard reply today, no timelines, no concrete actions. Part 1 of reply (screenshot plus alt text).

Thank you for reaching out to share your concerns regarding recent reports of deepfake images generated by the artificial intelligence chatbot Grok on the social media platform X.

I want to be clear: deepfake sexual abuse is violence. Canadians should be able to participate online without fear that their image will be misused or manipulated without consent, particularly women and young people. Platforms and AI developers have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent this kind of harm.

Our government is continuing to advance the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence in Canada. A key part of this work is Bill C-16, which would amend the Criminal Code to clarify that non-consensual deepfake intimate images are treated as intimate images for the purposes of the offence of publication without consent. This legislation would strengthen protections for victims and help ensure that those who misuse these technologies are held accountable.

“Its fucking not” indeed

A screenshot from BlueSky Wrapped for an account.

Top three used words in post from top to bottom are “its”, “fucking”, “not”. Can be read as “its fucking not”.
