I hope the recall succeeds. She needs to go.

I wore out two of those with comics work. Can you even buy them anymore?

I love an superhero outfit that looks like it takes least 17 minutes to get ready for combat.

Advocates call absence of disability ministry in PM's new cabinet 'a real slap in the face' | CBC News When Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his new cabinet this week, one notable position was omitted from the roster: the minister of diversity, inclusion and persons with disabilities.

Well, gee - no wonder I can't find much information - We used to have a Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities - and it was abolished a year ago by @mark-carney.bsky.social

Disabled Canadians have zero representation in current government.

It's really gross to see that GlobalTV, CBC and CTV puts zero effort into making their online videos accessible.

It's ridiculously easy to close caption online content, and yet none of them can be bothered to put the least bit of effort to make their videos accessible to deaf viewers.

Maybe my Google skills are lacking, but I can't find anywhere in the Accessible Canada Act when it will become mandatory for Canadian broadcasters to Close Caption their online content.

Americans made it mandatory in the Americans with Disability Act over a decade ago.

Is Armstrong reintroducing a bill with the same complete BS about how Barry Neufeld was "fined $750,000 by the BC Human Rights Tribunalfor saying 'there's two genders?'"

I've learned two new things in DaVinci Resolve that are going to make tutorials so much easier to edit.

I've been doing freeze frames all wrong. And I found out how to extend a freeze frame so that everything behind it gets moved back as the freeze frame is extended. 🀘🏽

It takes about 1/2 second for the line correction to take effect if you're doing a straight line. If it's not working for you, it might not be turned on.

The Post Correction options aren't visible or turned on by default.

A whole 18 months per life he took. That's grotesque.

The Tool palette in Clip Studio Paint 5. At the top is the title. Below that is a row of tools. Under that is three color swatches the first one is as long as the other two put together. That is the foreground color. The second is the background color, and the third swatch looks like a checkerboard - it is transparent - it acts like an eraser.

One other thing I like about Clip Studio Paint 5 is the Foreground color swatch is twice the size of the background and transparent swatch in the Tool palette. It gives you a better view of the color you're currently using. Before they were all the same size.

Editing a line after Line Correction takes effect in Clip Studio Paint Version 5.

I used to use the Straight Line tool for its preview mode, but I can just use the pen tool now instead:

I used to use the Straight Line tool for its preview mode, but I love that I can use a pen tool instead, and still be able to edit the resulting line immediately after the line correction takes effect.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Jugs are so much better - no more milk bags flopping all over the bottom of your fridge, taking up all the room, along with the milk bag holder.

If you are an author or editor at *ANY* level -- from beginner to jaded old veteran like me, click through to the article Todd's posting about, take 2 minutes, and email them to let them know you opt out. Will save us all time having to mount yet a 577th class-action suit down the road.

Less than two weeks until Spring, and this shit is happening.

To be fair, it's the first snowfall we've had this winter.

In Grygiel's honor, I'm going to order an extra whipped, venti half-caf with stevia, almond milk, no ice, 34Β° degrees, raw sugar, extra caramel drizzle and a banana shoved up his ass for being such a whiner.
