Large statue of a Canada goose standing with wings partly spread on top of a tall rock pedestal. The black-and-white goose sculpture rises above a small roadside area. To the left, a large Canadian flag flies on a flagpole in front of a small log-style building with a bright red roof. Several people walk along a paved path toward the building. In the background are trees, a road with a few vehicles, and tall streetlights under a cloudy sky.

There are many amazing roadside attractions in Canada, but few are as famous as the Wawa Goose.
Built shortly after the Trans-Canada Highway was completed through the area, there have been three versions of the goose.
This is the story.

"my mom, who actually used ChatGPT to translate random things a few times, surely seems to know more about AI translation capabilities than Bender does."

he sure does seem to believe that women should perform for him or we're "smug"
Do women with expertise threaten him, I wonder?

That's AI discourse, over & over:

Tech ppl: AI is awesome! It'll completely destroy your livelihood! Your children will know only poverty and suffering!

Human: Well, that sucks. I'll pass.

Tech ppl: You foolish, ignorant Luddite! You will be obsolete in the new order. Get with the program!

Data centers don’t: bring jobs; bring a tax base; bring revenue; bring concomitant industry to communities.

Data centers do: rip off resources of typically rural, working-class and often racially plural or primarily minority communities; create unbearable pollution; cheapen value.

Get stuffed.

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

Like girls wearing trousers and cutting their hair short. Or boys having long hair and not being bullies.

This reminds of an old Usenet friend’s story about how he became a vegetarian: he watched Babe on acid and wound up standing by the open freezer cradling a package of bacon and apologizing

In the wake of Travis Dhanraj’s testimony about CBC’s biased practices I can confirm that they do blackball ppl and I am someone who is currently blackballed for life from CBC, which should be a banned practice. I am currently blacklisted from CBC I can guarantee that the blacklist is real

U.S. court allows state bans on gender-affirming care for adults in unprecedented ruling While bans on trans youth’s care have been numerous in recent years, this is the first to restrict care for transgender adults.

NEWS: It was never about the children.

Transgender adults now face care restrictions after the ruling of the federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia.

Went back and forth on posting this, but the culmination of me talking to my work about the vast difference in how I’m treated by people at my job has resulted in me being pushed out. In case anyone’s wondering why I’m pissed off about people pretending transsexuals have some magic authority.

READ HER WORDS AT THE END, and make sure to miss me with that "person of their time" bullshit y'all try to pull about white people in the olden times.

Laura Haviland was one of many women who worked with both Levi and Catharine Coffin during their years in Cincinnati, Ohio. But she is probably one who had a close relationship with the Quaker couple. Haviland was born in Ontario, Canada, but spent much of her childhood in New York. Raised a Quaker, she was a child who loved education and reading, Haviland learned of slavery by reading the works of John Woolman. Several years after marrying her husband, the couple moved to Michigan where she became involved in anti-slavery work as well as opening a school where all children were welcomed, regardless of color. That school became known as the Raisin Institute. It is also during this period that Haviland became involved in the Underground Railroad, with her home becoming one of the first established Underground Railroad depots in the state. Levi may have been the first to meet Laura, when he came through Michigan on his way to visit Canada West in the fall of 1844. But his first mention of knowing Laura comes during the second trip to Canada, this time with Catharine, in 1854.

Laura speaks of her relationship with the Coffins in her autobiography. "My dear friends Levi and Catherine Coffin had given me a very cordial invitation to make their house my house whenever I was in Cincinnati." As a houseguest at times, she was aware that the Coffins hid freedom seekers on the fourth floor of the home they occupied on the corner of Walnut and 9th Streets. Haviland had no fear of going into Kentucky to aid slaves north into Cincinnati and faced potential jail time for her actions. Yet she never waivered in her determination. "I would not for my right hand become instrumental in returning one escaped slave to bondage. I firmly believe in our Declaration of Independence, that all men are created free and equal, and that no human being has a right to make merchandise of others born in humbler stations, and place them on a level with horses, cattle, and sheep, knocking them off the auction-block to the highest bidder, sundering family ties, and outraging the purest and tenderest feelings of human nature."
