dewline: Text reading "Ohwhatapitynevermind" (amused apathy)
I think that someone is impersonating Machiavel Studios. The latest e-mail seeking my application to be hired does not have a Canadian e-mail address, but Hungarian.

An unusual thing by modern lights just happened to me. Someone called the family landline. I answered the phone, and the person on the other end responded for apologizing for calling the wrong number.

So that still happens.

And now I know for certain that Facetime works on my current computer. Just had a brief and entertaining chat with people on the Pacific coastline.

Should I add that one to my current cellphone?

Why or why not?
dewline: Icon reading "Trans rights are human rights" (trans-rights)
I got my first bit of specifically anti-trans e-mail this morning. I don't care to know who sent it or whether they actually expect to have changed my mind. It's deleted, and measures are in place to deal with that source of nonsense in future.
dewline: Virus Don't Care (COVID-19)
I am both unsurprised and frightened that this idea might actually be governing the thinking of people in high places right now.

Please note that this essay does contain constructive ideas on how to respond to this danger.

Rogers Communications is now in the hands of a Trump-worshipper.

Before anyone objects to this characterization, a reminder: he *did* go to Mar-a-Lago to genuflect in person...

And we all know who the Mar-a-Lago Malefactor still considers worthy of hero-worship.

This is a problem we have to solve before it "solves" democracy in Canada.

The earlier version of the bill died on the order paper thanks to the latest election call. However, anyone paying attention to the issue expects the bill to be re-introduced soon, however renumbered for House of Commons record-keeping purposes. I hope that the concerns of its critics get more serious consideration, respect and careful incorporation into the phrasing of the next version.

And meanwhile, this crap's being sorted out, too. We hope. I just hope it doesn't get used as cover for making Canada a better client state of either the Xi Regime or Putin or whatever lunatic forces themselves into Biden's job over too many objections to count.

I really wish Ottawa would open talks re: full membership in the EU. Today, if possible.

I'm considering breaking with my preference to avoid that outfit because of the Manhattan Vandal AKA DT-45 maintaining his primary personal online presence there. There are a slowly-growing number of people and organizations whose activities I do want to pay attention to who also maintain a presence there...and some of them are also among my friendlisters here at Dreamwidth.

Doubting that I'll reach a decision this week. So...opening the floor to "pro" and "con" arguments!
