This is Jam. He said he was the highest jumping golden retriever in Ontario. May or may not have lied on his resume. Still 13/10 (IG: skythepupvlogger)

Oil and gas represents only 5% of our GDP. Carney and Smith are investing our money into soon-to-be-obsolete technology just to appease fascist seditionists. We are scheduled to have another record breaking hot summer with some wild fires already raging. This is a terrible, terrible decision.

Campaign Carney: Canada is not for sale. Actual Carney: Everything must go!

I actually think governments whose sole motivating ideology is to strip everything but police and military for parts is bad for society.

Important to know – this is *not* a bluff by Signal. They will leave Canada if it's required for them to comply with this bill. This is the same position Signal has had for years in regard to Europe. It couldn't be more firm.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Satellite measurements show that in the early 2010s sea level rise suddenly accelerated to a rate of 4.1 millimetres per year, possibly in response to an increase in the rate of global warming

I've never been able to get a @nicklutsko.bsky.social lyric from "2021 Has Been So Fun" out of my head: 2020 never ended It's only begun EDDINGTON is that as a movie.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

online isn't real, offline isn't real, it's all a simulation, i'm going back to hiding under my sheets

in a dense urban areas there is no solution other than 'paying people to pick things up'. scofflaw littering might vary across places and cultures and reducing that is good, but some amount of stray trash is just inevitable

people have been going around my neighbourhood collecting cans again after not doing it for the past 6-7 years, that's my recession indicator

i'm so over it all..

interview with the vampire series is soo good

The Ford government allowed public employees to upload people’s personal data, including credit cards and driver’s licences, to unsecured AI sites and used medical software that recorded wrong medications and missed mental health details, says Ontario's auditor general.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "lol that fucking sucks, good luck I guess"

Worse than Harper. www.theenergymix.com/worse-than-h...

Canadians are such suckers man. We've got like a 50 year backlog of infrastructure and we finally get a guy saying he's going to do something to rebuild our capacity and what he means is "just give money to companies we all specifically hate for no reason to no benefit"

The PC/Mac guys doing Ozempic commercials is depressing in a way I don't think scientists have fully described yet

7 months to go

googling up why he left his last job & lol, that’s interesting.

rare to see someone proven right this quickly

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

letterboxd has so many pretentious pieces of shit jc..

Idk when I started feeling this way but putting a giant ugly gif in someone's replies is an act of war

"We have produced generations of adults who can name the Prime Minister but not their ward councillor. Who follow a federal budget with more attention than a municipal capital plan that will determine whether their water main gets replaced before it fails." Local politics matter. #WRpoli

A good cautionary tale for when someone claims that trusting data analysis done with an LLM is good because it’s “objective.” In this example, Copilot apparently decided to ignore the data it was given and just run with all the subconscious biases its (human-made) training data inevitably gave it.

socialization cannot be decentralized

I am constantly horrified by this government, and utterly bemused by people who think that Carney is better than Poilivere. They clearly haven’t been paying enough attention to what he is actually doing. @althiaraj.bsky.social has been one of the few journalists honest and pointed about this.

Carney is planning to spend $80B on the military. That is such a huge figure that it's difficult to conceive. If you still think that he is better that Poilievre, you should retire from thinking about politics.

A bunch of extremely beautiful pictures of wind farms in China - all photographs by Weimin Chu e360.yale.edu/digest/china...

The whole motive force behind people using AI slop images is to make their unremarkable mediocrity seem more substantive and important than it really is. On the cheap.

IDF soldier who participated in the mistaken killing of three Israeli hostages in Gaza City in Dec 2023 confirmed to his mother what was widely reported at the time: they killed the men, who were waving white flags, because their unit was under orders to kill all Gazan men they encountered.

The Liberal government is giving billions in public handouts to oil companies to build a techno-fix to the climate crisis. @desmondcole.bsky.social breaks down how the supposed solution is actually just cover for endless fossil fuel production. youtu.be/OlHT_ITCw9U?...

I've been seeing a lot of disrespect for our beautiful mods who lay their lives on the line every single day to protect us from mean jokes and nasty language and any knowledge of them liking loli porn at work and other things like that. Enough!!! Respect the mods!!! WE LOVE OUR MODS!!! 🫡

"It just feels like the government is pushing hard to expand Billy Bishop Airport to bail out American bankers at the expense of what people love about Billy Bishop Airport, the Toronto waterfront and all the housing that can be built,” @mikeschreiner.bsky.social said. For @nationalobserver.com

I had a commenter on one of my posts insist that it's impossible that Mark Carney is worse for the climate than Harper was, and having taken the time to respond at length, I thought I should share that as a thread because it's clearly not just one person operating under that false belief. 🧵1/

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did. youtu.be/IbG-JGdGniY
