In the run-up to the 2024 US election I was driving through Chicago and along the interstate someone had put up a big sign reading "REMEMBER WHEN GAS WAS $2 A GALLON? VOTE TRUMP!"
I wonder where that fellow is now...

Most of the #Toronto Police Officers who were arrested on allegations of corruption were from 11 & 12 division, with a comprehensive investigation underway likely to find more.
The #DougFord family is known to have tight connections with the #TorontoPoliceService, trying to appoint his pal Supt. Ron Taverner, of 22 & 23 division fame, just across the Humber river from 11 & 12 divisions, to lead the #OPP, but backtracked in light of the obvious conflict of interest.
Also, we've learned there is a connection between the Internation Drug Kingpin #RyanWedding and the #TPSCorruption scandal.
Meanwhile, the #RCMP is into year 3 in their investigation of the #FordAdministration for corrupt dealings related to the #GreenbeltScandal and related corrupt dealings.
There's also the question of how #RobFord got in with the crowd who sold him the crack cocaine in the first place and Doug's alleged sales connections.
All very suspicious... 🤔

The album version is even better than the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewtewrjIPxU
🎼 Your cellphone, your wallet, your time, your ideas
No barcode, no party, no ID, no beers
Your bank card, your license, your thoughts, your fears
No SIM card, no disco, no photo, not here
🎼 Tell us your habits, your fads, your fears
Give us your address, your shoe size, your years
Your digits, your plans, your number, your eyes
Your schedule, your desktop, your details, your life
🎼 Show us your children, your photos, your home
Here, take credit, take insurance, take a loan
Get a job, get a pension, get a haircut, get a suit
Play the lottery, play football, play the field, snort some toot
👨💬: Go back to bed America, your government is in control again
Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this. Shut up
Go back to bed America, here's American Gladiators
Here's 56 channels of it
Watch these pituitary [morons] bang their fucking skulls together
And congratulate you on living in the land of freedom

I present to you, the Anthem of the 2020's:
We Want Your Soul by Freeland
https://youtu.be/0oMEuyhBkRo?si=Ial1xaPwLQ5w7qKq
(This has been one of my favourite tracks since its release in 2003! I felt it matched those times so well, with all the lies coming from Dubya to justify his Middle East War, the ceding of the Republican Party to corporate (read fascist) interests were continuing since commencing in the 1970's, and the seedling corporate weeds in the garden of the internet, along with the full-scale data sharing that came with it, had only just finished germinating, developing their roots, and we're starting to poke their chutes above ground.)

No, Google, I don't want your stupid "AI" to "help me create a list", for one thing if I wanted a list I would have selected "list" from the available options instead of "text".
Seriously, who at Google is in charge of User Experience? Or have they outsourced that to the "AI" too?

After literally just completing downsizing their offices, my company has decided to mandate a return to office.
(Thank goodness I got my contract updated to be remote!)
And now, they're having issues because they don't have enough desks.
Ahh, the #CSuite at work!

Ethernet cables are "cat N" cables because there is a number of cats inside the cable running with your packets in their mouth, taking it from the router to the puter and back that's why cat 6 is fast
