Toronto Police: There's no criminality here. I'm so fucking over this city some days.

Thanks to Carney's "Elbows Up" slogan VPN companies in Canada are seeing a surge in interest as patriotic Canadians look for domestic options to spoof a US IP address as Carney's Online Harms bill is expected to pass into law by the end of the summer.

I think it will work extremely well. We will have far less privacy, big tech will have our digital id data, big tech will get to continue operating under the status quo needing to make no changes for the better, and kids who really want access will find a way to get it. An oligarch's wet dream.

In Australia (the 1st to do so) “Two-thirds of under-16s have remained on social media platforms since the ban came into effect in December. But for those who were kicked off, the change has meant seeing less news than before the ban.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I don't. It's not working in Australia. Kids find their way around the ban. Big unethical tech are happy for the bans, cos then they don't have to do anything. They will simply wait until all these kids turn 17 and then they can claim huge growth and make trillions more.

It took less than a week for the government to go from AI for All to ID for All. Reports of a social media ban for kids will require identification for all Canadians. There is no unwinding that data collection, and it is no replacement for effective regulation www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/06/you-...

But like, there are clearly well-documented harms that AI chatbots have when it comes to young people's mental health, and that's besides the very real and dangerous harms around psychosis, radicalization, and also just overall deskilling and literacy!! med.stanford.edu/news/insight...

The Canadian government is set to ban social media for kids under 16, but "is not expected to include the same type of ban for AI chatbots." Sort of crazy that they're like "no Instagram, but sure, the children can still have the water-draining lying machines." nationalpost.com/news/politic...

can't wait to see kids enroll at Brown Envelopes Of Cash Public School

Hello friends. Turns out I have some moderate to severe hearing loss. Full story can be found via the link, but suffice to say while this is in no way an emergency for me, hearing aids are very expensive & if you are able & willing to help out it would be greatly appreciated. gofund.me/f1efbbe73

Hard work is often a necessary, but hardly ever sufficient condition for success.

Remember #HamOnt friends, even small businesses can rainbow wash just to get more dough out of your wallet. Gay baked goods from a business owned by a union buster sounds more capitalist-scum than progressive-ally to me.

Checking smoke detectors when seasons change is an example of making a routine by attaching a forgettable task to an unmissable event. With the Canadian Bread Settlement funds being distributed, don't forget to spend at least some of it on bread to ensure you qualify for the next class action.

hey #HamOnt - did you know there's an AI data centre proposal in our city? Here's everything I've been able to find out about it: thedabbler.patatas.ca/pages/steelp...

Landlords hoard the housing that tenants provide.

If a landlord cannot afford a property without a tenant's rent, then who is really providing the housing to whom?

Went to the Poutine Fest at Gage park today. Before we ordered the guy in the truck asked if he needed to pay the cheese tax, & offered us a small handful of curds for Gizmo.

Those perpetually petrified by the progressive bogeyman are constantly whinging and bellyaching about being blocked by Clrs or about posts where Clrs turn off comments; when they run for the same office though, the practice is perfectly proper. 🙃 #HamOnt

Jesse Brown once (rightfully) called out Ben Shapiro's horrific racism and how it inspired the Quebec Mosque shooter and is now openly working with him to host a massive pro genocide rally in Toronto

Nothing will show how out of touch boomers are with young people about AI, than this. Someone send it to @evansolomon.bsky.social .

This study is a waste of staff time and resources. www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

The newest piece in my collection, painted by the ever talented @davidbrace2.bsky.social. Is it too on the nose to name the dinosaur Hormuz?

He deadnamed her and told her he'd take away her rights and then did and she still supports him

Two years ago this little man was a stray on the streets of Texas. Today he won't settle for less than the sunniest coziest seat in the house.

If we could all be so lucky as to have a seat as plush & luxurious as this 7lb dog in his chaise lounger.

Absolute fire from @theincline.email today about nasty homophobic piece of shit Kelly Oucharek running for council. Maybe the most despicable person in this city right now. theincline.email/p/the-rat-king

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

City Hall to be decked out in construction-paper chains, popcorn garland, & classic red & white bunting as the city prepares to celebrate the 2 year anniversary of the Feb 25th, 2024 cyber-attack that helped the municipal bureaucracy & administration adopt a less-digital approach to doing business.

[It's unfair] the number of people who are expected to pretend they care about jobs they don't care about. I'm fulfilling my contract, you can't put in the contract "also you have to seem like you give a shit"; I think that's expecting too much. ~ David Mitchell www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LiD...

Please understand that we have all the necessary hate crime legislation we need on the books, it is enforcement that is the issue. Bill C9 is an anti-protest bill targeting the people it claims to protect.

The Canadian Department of Pedantry issued a reminder for Canadians today: If it doesn't come from Minister Champagne's office it isn't austerity; it's just sparkling neoliberalism.

NDP leadership hopeful Yves Engler went on JACKSON HINKLE's podcast 🤮 Hinkle is a huge spreader of disinformation, particularly pro-Russia disinformation, has called the LGBTQ movement “pedophile ridden,” and calls himself a “MAGA communist.” This is...a choice.

Hey @gearboxofficial.bsky.social, when I'm redeeming SHIFT codes it always feels like I'm being punished for owning @borderlands.2k.com games on multiple platforms, cause I have to resubmit and scroll through multiple times. When can we get a "Redeem for all" button?

Not only are the Liberal Party inviting the author of Project 2025 to their work retreat, they're inviting something called an "AI-focused venture capital firm", a truly grotesque collection of words!

HAHAHAHA UHHHH WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK??????

lol, that kitchen is half the size of my whole-ass apartment. shove your 'spending tips'.

If you use AI you are supporting artistic theft and killing the planet.

Me: Asks for East End recommendations. Everyone else: Try this place in Ancaster/Westdale/Dundas/West Mountain!

Council's decision to instruct staff to draft a maximum heat bylaw made Hamilton a national leader in 2023. Now, in 2025 Toronto is poised to be the first to cross the finish line. When asked why, #HamOnt city staff said "Toronto is just a better city run by better people."
