I feel like professional entertainers (who aren't hateful bigots) can have a valid point about dislike 'woke culture', that's completely separate from "politics".

The culture wars are basically integral to entertainment these days. Media companies are using rage bait to promote their movies.

It's easy for us anons to throw salt when we can just disengage as our mental health requires.

I don't know actually if The Rock is a facsist, but barring real evidence I think you're watering down the term here.

    From OP but I'll elaborate:

    In case the joke is not obvious: While in universe, this is technically "AI art" in the sense that Data (who is an artificial being) had painted it, in reality, that episode came out in 1993, so that prop was undoubtedly painted by a human.

    Data is a unique android built by master android crafters; who designed him specifically to be humanlike. Data's makers were killed and Data was rescued by starfleet. HIs character arc throughout The Next Generation is him becoming more human while audience gets to examine human experiences through a different lens.

    Anyone Familiar with "Go Sun"? It's a portable solar charger for cars. (www.youtube.com)
     

    https://gosun.co/

    Basically its a roof rack solar panel with a battery inside (includes AC outlet), extra fold out panels that cover the length of the car, and a charge cable for the car. They're about $5000 USD and are shipping the first ones out in Q3 this year.

    As someone who lives in an appt and commutes, this would make an electric vehicle much more viable as there is no charging stations in my building or at my work. I saw this and immediately began researching what vehicle models would be coming to Canada in 2028.

    Diarrhea Outbreak Solved by Buying Canadian (prospect.org)
     

    TLDR Health Canada > CDC+FDA. Don't eat American produce if you don't wanna poop your pants.

    By February 2026, USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service had lost 913 staff, while the Food and Nutrition Service lost 564. The agency’s National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection was also axed. All told, more than 20,000 workers left USDA last year.

    Cyclosporiasis is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis, a single-celled parasite that lives exclusively in humans and causes particularly violent and long-lasting diarrhea. Infection is almost always through ingesting food or water contaminated with feces containing cyclospora oocysts; these take many days to become infectious, so person-to-person transmission is very unlikely.

    In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money.

    PS:

    IMO we're going to see quality control issues in every single American export. I would be extremely wary of using medications or medical devices produced in the USA. With no government entities enforcing regulations we have to assume corners will be cut at the expense of quality and safety.

    The other day I had an idea that could reduce a lot of waste and save people money.

    Retailers/Manufacturers of consumable products like hand soaps/household cleaners should be required to sell/produce larger size refills for smaller size bottles.

    I would like to compile a list of smaller ideas like this to send to Avi and my local NDP candidate.

    Anyone got ideas?

    The List so far:

    • Retailers/Manufacturers of consumable products like hand soaps/household cleaners should be required to sell/produce larger size refills for smaller size bottles. (Canaconda)

    • standardizing the size, shape, volume of these prepackaged goods (GodofLies)

    • reusable container system at a higher governmental level (GodofLies)

    • Add Repurposing program to municipal recycling and expand where successful

    • Incorporate retirees into child support / education on a volunteer basis.
