A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
170 school children.
Palantir, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc have made billions selling to the U.S. military a technology that promises an all-seeing eye to find all the bad guys and kill thousands of them instantly.
You and me are paying for these murders.
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
The company that launched this "news" site was supported by SFU’s tech accelerator fund. How did people at our university think an AI slop news outlet was a worthy startup? Inside a Surrey 'Local News' Site Run by AI via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...
The group Contract Worker Justice has been sounding the alarm about poor working conditions at @sfu.ca and heavy-handed management since COVID19 started in 2020.
Metro Vancouver's living wage is $27.85 says BC Society for Policy Solutions, but not all workers earn it.
We've been telling SFU these contractors are bad actors for half a decade now. Admin's claim that food & cleaning services aren't core functions basically amounts to saying these workers are expendable. UBC, UVic, and UBCO employ service workers directly.
When will SFU do the right thing?

WIN!!! ✊ Just got news SFU has decided NOT to renew its contract w/ @hootsuite.com. Our university made the right choice, choosing not to be associated with a tech company aiding and abetting fascism in the US.
The petition demanding SFU drop its @hootsuite.com contract has almost cracked 100 signatures. SFU community members, please sign and share with your friends and colleagues!!!

A bright, retro-style graphic promoting a NOTICE Coalition book recommendation. At the top, large white text reads “A NOTICE Coalition Book Recommendation” against a turquoise and red background with yellow horizontal lines. In the center, an illustrated book cover is displayed at a slight angle. The cover is blue with bold red semicircle shapes resembling a signal or broadcast icon. The title “Notes Toward a Digital Workers’ Inquiry” appears in bright yellow text, with “The Capacitor Collective” at the bottom. The background features layered red, yellow, and blue stripes, creating a vibrant, energetic design.
🤩 NOTICE is back with another book rec! 🤩
This book blends research, worker testimony, and political analysis to ask: How is digital work organized? Who benefits? And how can workers build power within these systems? Dive in— pick up your copy today! 🔈

Well this game arrived just in time for Family Day here in BC and we’re all very excited to play it! @maxhaiven.bsky.social @plutopress.bsky.social
SFU folks! Reminder to sign and share this petition. Let's all ties to Canadian companies abetting fascism
signed because FUCK ICE
✔️
SFU community members: please sign and share this petition demanding the university terminate its relationship with @hootsuite.com. The company's refusal to cut ties with ICE is abhorrent, and SFU needs to hear from us on this.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.
I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌
Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto
Following @mortabasi.bsky.social's lead I’ve written to SFU Communications & Marketing Associate VP asking that we terminate our relationship with @hootsuite.com. The company’s refusal to drop its contract with ICE is utterly offensive and SFU should hear from community members about this.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) has announced a restructuring of its executive leadership team and the intention to sell multiple properties, as the university tries to address a shortfall of approximately $25 million. The changes are just two of several that are expected in the year ahead, as the university also contends with an upcoming tuition-fee freeze. In late January, MUN announced it will begin selling multiple properties in St. John’s that are “not closely aligned with its academic mission,” as well as its Harlow Campus in the United Kingdom. The announcement came just two weeks after the university announced executive restructuring, which saw it reduce the number of vice-presidents from seven to three.
PSA: it is in fact possible for universities to address financial challenges by slashing (incredibly expensive and largely useless) admin positions.
Memorial University just downsized VPs from 7 to 3.
Yes we can!

Turns out that the publisher of the property law textbook I use, Thomson Reuters, "holds a contract worth up to $22 million (U.S.) that began in May 2021 to provide ICE with access to a law enforcement investigative database subscription". Welp, new book time...

Hey @hootsuite.com, how much does a soul go for these days?
