I'm seeing chains on necks, looks like slavery to me. Even if they were prisoners, that is inhumane.
Fucking greasy to think it's so close to recent history.

I mourn Notepad as well, but Notepad++ is great and it hasn't smeared shit on itself yet.

On the CBC coverage they didn't use anyone's real names, it was all just dance names.
I thought it was super entertaining compared to something like running or high jump. If anyone doubts these people's athleticism, just watch and you'll change your mind.

Not defending the 88, he could be a racist, but he's apparently from Taiwan. It is a common number in Chinese culture, guessing Taiwan too. Where I live there have been a couple of businesses with "88" in the name and both were Chinese.

That is good, I think they should run with Tampon Tim and use this line.

Worry in border towns 1 year into B.C. residents avoiding trips to Washington state | CBC News
The best part about all these articles is that the Americans talk about how much they love Canadians. When it comes down to it though, they just love the dollars. There is nothing else they refer to loving about them in the articles from what I've seen.
My favorite part:
Border town officials say there's a range of reasons why Canadians aren't heading south anymore — from the weak exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar, to the lack of consumer carbon tax making gas a little bit cheaper up north.
No mention of the threat of arrest, disappearance, being shot, etc.

What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?
Using "racking" instead of the correct "wracking" in "wracking my brain". Not very common, but it annoys me... But not as much as "could of"... That is the worst, just stop it!
This is online and in person in Canada.

The real ancient trials were on the 1990s warez sites where you'd have to hunt for a 2 pixel square link on a giant page of porn ads and other trickery. Then you could get part 42 of 78 of a .rar for some game. Repeat another 77 times and wait a week for it to download on 33.6k and you got a free game!

They sing a lot about workers rights and unions, maybe you are joking. "Boys on the Docks" is almost what you're after, but not saying directly to join a union.
Ken: It’s brand new. It’s about my grandfather, John Kelley. He organized most of the union workers down on the fish pier.

Also, their song "Which Side Are You On" starts with the lyrics:
Our father was a union man, Some day I'll be one too.

It's not the exact same situation, but Germany attacking the Soviet Union in 1941 when they already had the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in place is a pretty colossal blunder. We don't know what might have happened if Hitler hadn't done that, but it was the biggest oof I've heard of.

Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform

I'll often find something interesting and look through the collections of other people who also have the album. Another way is to just start in the genre sections and browse.
Here are a few varied suggestions, no specific genre since I don't know your tastes:
