I still can't believe they gave Best Doc to that Mr Nobody movie. It was ok but, my word, the other four nominees were leagues above it

Here's my ranking of the Best Picture contenders. I hope Coogler gets Best Director.

Frankenstein was a horrid movie and these awards are unforgivable

Welp, the absolute wrong movie (not pictured) won this category

Is there still time for me to learn to play the tuba?

If Iran has to miss the World Cup then the US should be disqualified. How are sports journalists not reporting the heck out of this?

Promoting the idea that higher education is antiquated & failing is a win for corporations bc (1) it gives them a product to sell-ed tech-that will supposedly fix our broken teaching and (2) it deflects attention away from the real problem which is systemic assaults by corporate America on workers.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Matt Berninger with Tim Harvie? Yes!

Yep. Just one of many insightful paragraphs.

This comes up a lot when I talk with individuals similar to myself who have some sense of a dual calling to the academy and the church. Similarly, my denomination+diocese would love an influx of clergy. But, I think there are many valid reasons for this divide—particularly in my tradition. 1/x

Six years ago today, the University of Calgary suspended all in-person lectures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just rounded out my viewing of the 5 Oscar nominated docs, and - WOW - I'd be happy to see any of these 4 win it. Incredible, stunning films.

Remember when it felt possible to keep up with the news?

I'm teaching these online classes with SSU this summer, so please pass these posters along if you have a bulletin board or someone who may be interested. These are graduate-level courses, with audit options and transfer credit possibilities: www.ssu.ca/summerschool. DM for more info. Thanks!

These AI pushers are all genuine morons

Well, at least all of this was completely unnecessary and avoidable

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school. thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-ai...

I look forward to AAR's proposal why Canadians should register

As far as the church goes, this is an apt reflection of Canada's broadly Bonhoefferian approach to the secular in contrast to America's broadly Kuyperian approach.

Don't call it a US/Canada Tour if there's only a concert or two on one side of the Canadian Shield

That's a great set of debuts! I forgot to vote but I would have gone (1) MGMT, (2) Bon Iver, (3) Vampire Wkd, (4) Fleet Foxes, (5) The XX

What we’ve seen from Carney over the past year is that there is literally nothing — not the rule of law, not his word as PM (remember his betrayal of Elizabeth May?), not climate change — that he places above economic growth.

Just this week: - Administration is caught hiding evidence Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old - Pentagon demands AI companies allow it to use AI for mass surveillance and killer robots - Trump launches unconstitutional war against Iran - Pro-Trump oligarch buys CNN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

this is hell

In Mark Carney’s Davos speech, he admitted that international law has never been equally applied across the world. He’s proving that through his own words and actions every time the US and Israel violate international law and he backs them up instead of condemning them.

annual reminder: Alberta's deficit is a choice.

It's so sad that anti-elite sentiment got split left and right by its misdirection against education and expertise, when it could have united against wealthy techlords and the epstein class. It doesn't even take a conspiracy theory to see how this happened 👇

It's good that sports journalists are asking questions of US men's hockey players but I can't get over how unhinged it is that they are held to a higher standard than the actual president who made (and is) the joke

Did somebody forget to add “civilization existing” as a reward signal or what’s the deal here

Seems like a lifetime ago that NHLers got together to make a BLM statement

This (anti)cultural moment that is upon us is truly staggering

Do our MPs in the House of Commons realize they are looking and acting like children? Embarrassing.

I’m sorry Sens fans, but if Tkachuk is at the SOTU in support of Trump tonight, you have to trade him.

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you
