oh i see so AI is just ‘the mechanical turk, but sexually traumatizing’

I use Gemini when I'm bored — and it's better than doomscrolling It became my ultimate distraction

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

I hate that the sparkle icon is shorthand for AI. They want us to think it’s magic. Fuck you!!! Magic is when you lose a glob of mustard from your sandwich but it doesn’t land on you. When you win at 20 questions. Sparkles belong to Liberace. A baby’s smiling eyes. I will put you in the ground!!!!!!

A country facing multiple credible threats to its sovereignty but that also cares this little about its own history isn't long for this world.

Calgary Public Library announces residency for an artist who uses AI. Not everyone is on board | CBC News The library is offering a 10-week community engagement residency, to be awarded to one artist “in any discipline who [uses] AI ethically as a collaborative partner in their creative process,” the CPL ...

I love a headline like "Manitoba to require employers to provide menstrual products" because you just know that all the absolute worst people you've ever met here are super angry right now

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Women workers impacted most by broader return to office push, say experts Years after the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase of people working from home, public and private sector organizations are having more workers return to the office — but experts say the switch back is disproportionately negative for women.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Whenever I see a list of the biggest podcasts I wonder how people have decided to listen to podcasts but only to terrible ones. It’s like if you got into movies and started telling everybody that Zach Braff is probably the greatest living actor.

Did you know that in Canada, three-toothed Groundsel can only be found in Manitoba? This rare species can be found in sandy habitats in the province, like the dunes at Spruce Woods Provincial Park. The yellow flowers bloom in spring, attracting small bees and flies. #WildflowerWednesday

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Mark Carney backs U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, calls for civilians to be protected "Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," the prime minister said in a statement Saturday.

Carney continues to be a voice of cowardice and fecklessness when it really matters. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
