Somewhere, Stephen Holyday is fuming.

As a Beaches East York resident, I'd settle for a councillor who did *anything*. Bradford is _absent_ if it's not about grandstanding and photo ops; my wife gave up after literally *months* of trying to get him to care about the dog park she chaired.

The details of reporting that I remember best was the worst of the worst, CSAM. But there's a very clear procedure to remove problematic materials from the platform while maintaining records and securely forwarding them to the authorities, because *they* are the experts in whether to intervene.

No, but I have a 15 month old and the mental capacity that implies.

Does catcher count as "on the infield"? Because I'd be down for that.

Having worked at an online service that attracted a young audience, I'm reminded of how frequently the RCMP trained us what to look for *and* how to inform the authorities safely. This is malpractice on the part of OpenAI.

goodhart as epistemologist what did that "law" really say?

On the topic only of Goodhart's Law, My friend Mike Hoye linked this @dsquareddigest.bsky.social post very recently, and it's made me question what i think about measures as targets: backofmind.substack.com/p/goodhart-a...

My feelings on AI are a lot like that tweet (or article? I dunno) from almost a decade ago: “I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.”

I don’t know how to explain, to people who don’t already grasp it, that nothing is worth doing if it isn’t done by humans.

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

If Buck Martinez is not added to the #BlueJays' Level of Excellence, I'll climb up there and paint it on myself.

Hey, everyone. I have some exciting news. I’ll be providing coverage of the Blue Jays farm system over the course of the season in the Toronto Star. Next to playing CF and hitting leadoff for the Jays, this is a dream come true. First piece will be in late March. Stay tuned….

Trump and Ford agree on basically everything except tariffs on Canada. Remember Ford said he was a big fan of Trump the first time he was running for election.

On @keeganmatheson.bsky.social:

"Keegan Matheson has a beard. Let’s start there. Matheson is MLB.com’s Blue Jays beat writer and he has a beard. It’s a big, glorious, pointy beard, and it’s attached to his face and everything."

@davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social follows through!

My father in law goes on and on about all the benefits the Maltese government gives citizens, but it remains mysterious to me how they can afford them. Surely the golden passports don't generate *that* much revenue?

The Jays' outlook looks, uh, *different* 2 months later.
