I’m not Canadian, but I’ve previously known that in the US you only have to live in the same state as the district you’re representing. An argument in favor of that concept (that I admittedly just made up) is that congressional boundaries get rewritten every decade. In theory, this could be used to push a rep out of Congress if someone really wanted to, if they were required to live in district. State boundaries are much more stable so this is pretty good immunity to that.

The original is blocked in the US, but I found this and it seems to work: https://youtu.be/tDYjZ36IGfE

Definitely a pretty good representation! You know, as good as you can get when your instrument is grooved asphalt and rubber

It’s a different song that I don’t recognize, but it does sound correct for whatever it’s trying to be, if that makes sense

Congratulations. You did a great job ignoring the rest of what I had to say.

If he were capable of embarrassment that might do it, but apparently that’s not happening here

And tying it to the Bluesky system? Not sure the cost of that (I swear I saw it was a potential monetization they were looking into) but also the time to figure it out isn’t practical for everyone.

Because the headline is kinda shit: they’re no longer doing international shipments direct to consumer worth more than $1000, because US customs is making things so screwy.

That’s great for an organization like NPR which may have the resources to tie its own domain name into Bluesky. For some freelance reporter or otherwise verifiable person, I’m not sure it’s quite so practical.

If they are, and there isn’t anything to display it, how are we to know what’s been vetted and what’s slipped through the cracks? Especially on a new account?
