Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting. You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

The Line 5 launch went quite well in my personal opinion, and I'm going to have a detailed and I would say quite positive post on the line later today. But first I want to provide some things I really think should be fixed. The TTC to their credit was actually asking for this!

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

One of our activities to earn MGP will be Keynote Bingo, with several prompts randomized across bunches of cards! What are you most looking forward to? Most afraid of? Your most far-fetched theories, hopes or dreams? What's long overdue or an expected staple? 🧐 Share the prompts you want included!

I'm cool with renaming Dundas but I can't unhear the subway announcing "Temu" station

There are two facts about Shigeru Miyamoto that everyone can agree on: - the creator of Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda is one of if not the greatest game designer of all time - he would be a TERRIBLE upstairs neighbour

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

In the Region of Waterloo, a Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom LRV glides into Grand River Hospital station. Note how it cruises smoothly through every intersection, thanks to full Transit Signal Priority. In Waterloo, the LRT doesn’t stop for cars. #wrLRT

NO

As a Canadian citizen, there's a lot of corporate chumminess about Carney I don't care for, but a) the speech is great as rhetoric and policy and b) the speech also plainly sent Trump into a rage because he feels he's being disrespected, so we can have that wee catharsis, as a treat.

Ok every country being bullied by USA needs to hear this speech and I hope Canadians are inspired www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

Ohno,anyways.gif

We need governments and big brands and celebs off Twitter for MANY reasons, but one of them is to kill that site as a perceived necessity for digital marketing. It needs to be DONE done

Again, we don't hate the head of Epic enough.

I wouldn't even be as mad if the despot of USA wasn't a goddamn 6 year old. It's like if Ozymandias conquered the world in his image, ok fine - fair play by him. But this is just beyond insulting

i dont quite have all the spoons to analyse whats going on with Trump Imperializing again but my vibe check is a majority of people are going the ostrich route on Trump because they believe things should go "back to normal" soon™ (This rant brought to you by post 3 hours of a fussing baby)

Once again yelling in your ear, if you are foreign and going to the US - you are giving them money they would not have otherwise to buy bullets for innocent people. They said theyd do Latin America first but Millers wife seems to believe Greenland isn't too far off. Canada might be on the shortlist.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

This Brazilian woman hates AI

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

At the Apollo/Saturn V Center - I was trying to get a picture of the F-1 engines when someone said "excuse me" to get past. It was Seth Green.

JFC this is a thing?

What the hell kind of sentence is this Koodo in your un-closeable popup?!!

AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce

Oh, hey. We lost Bridget Bardot. For you much younger folks, this is SORT OF like "losing" J.K. Rowling, except this person was famous for more than one thing that was actually good before they turned out to be a Nazi and then just did Nazi stuff for decades.

Use your voice to tell them gen AI is cancer and you won't buy them anymore

I'm gonna be real: many many times when I've watched a sexy TV show and gone "oh wow, this is being surprisingly normal and positive about sex!" I later found out it was a Canadian production. I have *never* thought that about HBO. If I'm uncomfortable and sad, I check to see if it's HBO.

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Okay y'all just not go to the USA if you don't have to please www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ah right, this is the Jimmy I don't like

Sneering douchebag: "You're gonna be famous on the internet!" The Internet:

When you realize you can have a ( cozier ) fanfest hype experience close to home... 😂

It's that time of the year where all the platforms do their "Wrapped". Which to me is them flexing how much data has been harvested.
