Viro ei ollut koskaan osa Neuvostoliittoa. 🇪🇪 Maan miehitys päättyi 35 vuotta sitten, kun kansa otti maansa kohtalon käsiinsä. Miehittäjä on jäänyt jälkeen taloudessa, kulttuurissa ja sivistyksessä. Vapaa Eesti elää ja voi hyvin!

I saw a tweet from someone in northern Ontario that claimed the huge fires there were deliberately set as part of a left-wing plot to force freedom-lovin’ country-folk to move to “15-minute cities.” Are people insane?

I saw posters for this everywhere in 98, so I got the cassette tape. One of my favourite albums to this day. 脸 is my favourite song, but they’re all strong.

I've been saying this for years. I hope the world follows Denmark.
Denmark is investing $83,754,486 in textbooks and turning away from its digital-first approach to education. This follows research showing that screens reduce concentration, impact mental health, and hurt student performance. Yet another dynamic to the EdTech debate.

Saw it at the Pearl theatre at Spadina and Dundas in Trawna way back in the day. Miss the Pearl. I think you were there @SeanAMaynard with my bro, too?
Have you seen this movie 🍿💯🔥

🇨🇳friend: we’re having a parade in front of the governor. It’s a big deal. Me: I’m staff. Can I be in it? 🇨🇳: Sure. Me: Can I carry the flag? 🇨🇳: Why not? (I was turned a long time ago. Patiently waiting for a 🇨🇳EV to activate me with a trigger word. 😉) #china #canada

I think those 49,000 Chinese EVs will be sold out in about three days.

I wish I could have played this for my grade 10 piano. Would have practiced more.
In lieu of a serious musical weekend post, here is something light-hearted. Comedian Dudley Moore (who was musically talented) does a spoof on Beethoven, using the theme from Bridge on the River Kwai. Comedy used to be a lot more sophisticated than Andrew Dice Clay.

How long before my employer starts using something similar to monitor me at home?
😂 Chinese parents are finding a new use for AI assistants. They're deploying them as homework monitors. Here's the setup with ByteDance's Doubao AI. Parents start a video call and aim the camera at their child. One simple prompt: "Doubao, watch my kid. Remind him when he loses focus or his posture slips." The AI tutor goes to work. "Stop playing with your pen. Focus on homework." "Sit up straight. Your posture is off." "No falling asleep at the desk. Sit up and study." "Don't lean on your hand or chew your pen." Doubao isn't alone. Other AI apps offer similar video call features.

Canada should immediately start a competing program for free. Then, we should hire every expert from the CDC that Trump fired and build a world renowned Canadian Centre for Disease Research and make it the hub for the research and prevention of deadly diseases worldwide.
Trump signs an EO on H-1Bs raising "the fee that companies pay to sponsor H1-B applicants to $100,000"

Sad news but I wish him well. A favourite podcast. Thank you, Melvyn!

On the day of China’s Victory Day parade, I want to salute my Chinese tutor from back in the 90s, Li Xiao-Li. Hope she’s doing well. (She did something in the military I think but I’m not sure what. Any clues in the uniform?) 🇨🇳
