Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

It’s so important to remind people that we can do good smart things that help and don’t hurt.

Wear a mask outside, friends. This isn’t going to get better for a bit. Added “for a bit” so as not to sound terribly fatalistic but

When Carney believed net zero was a business opportunity, he supported it. Now that he believes it isn’t, he doesn’t. Meanwhile Ontario cities are bathed in smoke from forest fires every summer and he commits to environmental policy that will kill people.

Oh no Toronto (and the rest of Ontario), air quality is bad out today, like, wearing a KN95 outdoors bad. Take heed! #dlws www.iqair.com/ca/air-quali...

"Bottom line, we're likely to see oilsands emissions continue to rise over the next five, 10, 15, 20 years...Nothing that's been announced ... suggests that there's a real attempt to constrain oilsands emissions and see them reduce over time." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social how's that Paris Accord coming along

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.

Go Fund Me for the sister who was surrounded by white supremacists on the Metro in that viral photo. If you shared the photo, consider actually making a material donation.

I have been expressing desire for an app that alerts me to the presence of pervert glasses in my vicinity. It exists and it's called Nearby Glasses! Immediate download.

Are these lawyers high? “In the filing, a team of five federal lawyers denies First Nations have a distinctly Indigenous interest in drinking water, asserting that FNs’ interest in their own reserve land doesn't include water because ‘water is not attached to land, but flows under and around it’"

AAAAAHHHHHHH

The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.

I do just want to delicately point out that Agatha Christie has a book called THE PALE HORSE which is about a secret murder ring where people order a hit on someone they want dead by appearing to place a bet with an untraceable third party about whether or not the death happens by a certain date

A very wise 9 year old… #BookSky

Are you sick of winning yet?

Companies are *already* quietly hiring people to come in and clean up the digital asbestos that is "AI" slop, or re-hiring the same folk (who did the actual work) that managers and CEOs ditched with surpassing cruelty. Please, if you're a consultant or getting re-hired, MAKE THEM PAY.

We need to resist this shit SO HARD. Fuck this guy and this data centre. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

"Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning" Sometimes, good policymaking is incredibly simple. www.reuters.com/technology/n...

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

Describe the economy in a single sentence

Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison today--far more than most people convicted of trafficking CSAM, among other serious offenses. He and the other Prarieland defendants were punished not for anything they did but for the things they believe (all of which I also believe)

Mamdandate.

In honor of his apparent victory: @bradlander.bsky.social eats a hot dog on the Cyclone

I don't disagree. "If you film us we'll hold you down and press your face against hot asphalt" is a lesson in social learning and will fix the privacy problem

Penzeys has amazing, high quality spices, and may be the most intensely Trump-hating private company in the USA. Like, they have a whole Republicans Are Immoral page prominently displayed on their website: www.penzeys.com/shop/about-r...

Reminder that The Writers Guild is now an option for entry into Nicholls and cheaper

I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. wait I'm also mad. @a24movies.bsky.social this is bad and not good. read the room.

Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

it's true that AI is wrong and looks like shit, but personally the most repellent part of it is that the people who use it of their own accord are doing it because they believe what rich people say and do what rich people tell them to do

this is great.

I get that Carney felt the need to praise this Iran deal as part of a general pivot at the moment to ingratiating himself with Trump. But I'm not sure a politician benefiting from an unusual amount of trust is best to use that capital telling the public stuff he can't possibly believe is true.

oh, guys. oh.

Oh. Yes.

NO is one of the most critical words every decent human being needs to use in this age of fascism, "A.i.," ICE, anti-trans bigotry, eugenics, and billionaire propaganda. NO. Refuse to participate. Refuse to buy. Refuse to agree. Refuse to even smile and nod politely. Say NO. All the time.

Preparing for an upcoming Temagami backcountry camping trip with the kids and I regret to inform you that I have gone full tradwife with the fruit leather.

The Trump administration has abandoned its effort to halt wind energy projects... States that challenged the order hailed the development as one of the most significant legal victories against the Trump White House’s campaign against the energy transition. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Man oh man. Canada really is a couple telecom companies and a grocery chain in a trenchcoat. We've totally forfeited this country over to the capitalist overlords and it's such a shame.

Since last June, @wencyleung.bsky.social has been covering the Ford government's school board takeover for @thelocal.to. This is the clearest analysis I've read on the state of Toronto schools one year later. thelocal.to/one-year-tds...

Since 2020, Microsoft now has to burn 60% more energy to make the same amount of revenue. That is a company that is becoming SIGNIFICANTLY LESS efficient - this is the actual story of digital bloat happening in big tech right now

this. is. so. depressing.

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/
