Amazon is closing more loopholes about Kindle books so this is another good time for you to download all the stuff you rightfully own, before it’s forever stuck in a walled garden. The tool in the linked article work pretty well, and include Comixology books (I used it a while ago to download a whooping 3547 books!)

Ramblings of General Geekery
Oh hey, a new pharaoh’s tomb was found in the Valley of the Kings! I hope there’s a Mummy’s Curse in there, that would lighten up the world news.
Oh, so downloading pirated content is OK as long as you don’t upload it? It’s funny how megacoporations in 2025 use the same sort of hypocritical arguments as teenage pirates in 1995.
Tax billionaires. Regulate corporations. Pirate what you can’t own legally.
This petition to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian Citizenship has more than 38,000 signatures at the moment. The House of Commons isn’t slated to resume until next month, so wouldn’t it be fun if the number of signatures doubled by then?
Oh hey, more Benin Bronzes going back to Nigeria. Good. The story of these things is quite crazy.
I do hope we’ll see Nigerian museums sending some of them out on loan or travelling exhibits.

If you want to know how much Canadians are pissed at anybody associated with Trump and Musk, I’ve seen most hockey fans say “fuck Wayne Gretzky” and call him “The Great Once”
Good morning! The snow is gone now but fun times were had, especially when the good fluffy boy met a snowman and looked nervous
Binge-watching all the Fast & Furious movies, I’m realizing that there’s a whole bunch of problems that can be solved by driving a car really fast! Who knew?
