It is SO CANADIAN that the Hudson's Bay Charter, one of the most important foundational documents for our history, has been sold to two of Canada's richest families.

Really looking forward to the AI bubble bursting so that we can talk about literally anything else for a few minutes

I was wondering about the whole erotica thing with OpenAI and Sora. How’s that’s going?

"build a data center in space!" says someone who never heard of ping time

When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

Ryan Coogler explains why he declined the invitation to join the Academy www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/m...

1. No. Not like this. 2. Some of us come from cultures where we have always spoken with our elders and ancestors. We certainly never needed the intervention of digital age technology to do so.

AND SLAM IN THE BACK OF MY AQUINULA

Maybe the fundamental divide between application developers these days is: do you want to actually understand what the code you're building is doing, or not?

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful: All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

I do think that some people who didn’t experience being Bad at Math in the 2000s and 2010s are probably really underrating how demeaning that experience was at the time

And nonetheless, beauty happens #MathArt #SciArt

I’d probably read a 10,000 piece on why 2000s KDE with transparent windows was good while Liquid Glass is not

Computer science pioneer and United States Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906. 🧪 👩‍🔬 As far as I am aware, she is the only person who has both a supercomputer and a US Navy destroyer named after her. (1/n) Image: Computer History Museum

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

Our streetcar is stopped because a cyclist has been hit at McCaul & Dundas. 😔 I almost rode home tonight but hopped on streetcar. Could be anyone of us at anytime. Nothing to be done.

Watching Die Hard strictly for the Brutalism

Caregiving is an economic crisis or opportunity in waiting. No one can survive without caregivers. No one. And NO machine can compensate what caregivers can do and guess who knows that probably more than anyone? Rich tech bros and celebrities who hire women of color to take care of their kids. 🤷🏿‍♀️

There are men with jobs and math awards who have not learned this somehow why 😭😭😭

Tech CEO with GRTH and VALU knuckle tats

If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Rich and powerful people of the world need to like, watch a funny movie or go for a walk or something, just *chill* for a second

Doug Ford is making cash bail the law of the land in Ontario. But this isn't bold new policy. It's a recycled idea from failed experiments in the United States, where cash bail deepened poverty, entrenched racial injustice, and weakened community safety.

Ok, wow, I guess open source software is all ✌political✌️now

The scientific method served humanity well for hundreds of years but it was rendered obsolete in 2013 with the discovery of Vibes

Mental confidence thing is real. I had a block about some material bc I assumed I was dumb. But I got over that block and can do those problems now. In class someone was like "you can do that proof in 2 lines" and I thought "these ppl are geniuses" but then learned he was taught the proof before.

the monty hall problem will never confuse me because if i was there and he opened a door with a goat i'd just take my goat and go home

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan. If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION. If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.

Folks, I'm hoping to go to the NDP leadership convention in Winnipeg in March to cover it for The Orchard. In order to do so, I need 16 new paid subscribers by the end of the year. Who's gonna help me? www.readtheorchard.org

train your ai on this fuckos

@horsedisc.bsky.social how do you feel about the hegemonic world order?

Seeing Agnes Martin’s On A Clear Day at the SFMoMA showed me a whole new way to look at art. Truly opened a door to new ways of thinking.

Woke up to still having Liquid Glass on my phone and I may have to choose violence

Talking to somebody yesterday about a Cdn oral history archive that disappeared - turns out LLMs were scraping it so much it crashed their servers so it’s offline. Vile vulture technology.

This was a total bop this year youtu.be/5u2UZ1lA4wQ?...

Knob with “American Culture Ratio” and putting it at a respectable 6

lol but like historically, if you want rights you have to fight for them. There is no silver bullet and there is no messiah.
