I'm officially on the Blue Jays bandwagon. Signed up for a month of Sportsnet, wore my $12 Jays shirt from Winners for today's game, and painted my toenails blue. 💙

"So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?" #cdnpoli #canada #boycottusa futurism.com/future-socie...?

"Solar energy is anticipated to be the world’s main source of energy by 2050" hell yeah

Trouble brewing: Maya people in Yucatán fear new Heineken plant’s thirst for water

If a tiny fraction of the resources deployed towards AI was invested instead in actual artists we'd be enjoying a renaissance rather than drowning in a sea of garbage

Housing people once again turns out to be the cheapest solution.

Heartbreaking news. 😭 I'm so grateful I was able to see her speak last year.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

On a lighter note, voting ends today for your favourite fat bear! --- Fat Bear Week 2025 | VOTE share.google/lkjGMU0bwzmP...

“Both sides are the same” “both should be protected” - you are a fucking potato who shouldn’t be allowed on the internet unsupervised.

just guess

"If the cues we’ve spent a lifetime learning can now be faked, mimicked, or manipulated, how do we make good decisions?" This is also about AI, because what isn't these days?

"We have learned from social media that power rests with the monopolies who control and harvest personal data. We can’t let the same thing happen with AI."

i made a helpful reference

Well duh. "Contracting out has not only cost taxpayers more money, but accountability and quality standards have also suffered."

So now taxpayers will have to pay for traffic safety measures, rather than having law-breakers foot the bill through fines. How is that good for taxpayers? www.cp24.com/local/toront...

A multinational treaty to protect vast expanses of the world’s oceans is finally set to become law in January 2026, with environmentalists hailing its enactment Friday as crucial to safeguarding the marine ecosystems. /1 thread www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

This is a reminder that in 1997 they had a dancing baby make a guest appearance on a popular TV show and it’s all anybody talked about for a year and good god I miss when things like that were a big deal

It seems that we are condemned to forget the lessons that history has taught us.

What an absolute fucking twat Ford is. "Put a cop there with a radar gun". That's fucking expensive to have a human sit there and do the job a camera can actually do better. Police budgets are already outrageous.

Temporary foreign workers are doing the jobs young/many Canadians don't want to do. This is true for jobs in food delivery, food processing, agriculture, cleaning and, importantly, the care economy. Just today, StatCan published this report. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/36... 🧵

Real "Florida man" vibes coming out of BC 😂 "A British Columbia man has been arrested for allegedly driving a pink toy Barbie truck down a city street while impaired." - at 9am!

Google Sheets AI-generated suggestion. WTF is the average of a phone number? #AISlop #enshitification

How do you say I’m not in the mood for this bullshit today, but like professionally?

Here's the thing — I'm a technologist, and I'm not an anti-AI, or even necessarily an anti-LLM technologist. But your approach here *is not meeting the challenge*, and it's not centering education and learners. It's a credulous, facile approach that's taking the word of big-tech liars at face value.

This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …

This is so wild, but also explains so much. "...they reveal fundamental differences in how conservative and liberal brains process emotional information. These insights help explain why our political debates often become so unproductive."

I relate to this so much

It's not just Wasaga Beach they're trying to sell. Grundy Lake and French River are threatened, too. This won't end with just these 3 parks. Ford will sell off as much as he can, as fast as he can. #OnPoli

Provincial parks belong to all Ontarians and must be protected and expanded! Here's how the provincial government's plans for three provincial parks could set a dangerous precedent: thepointer.com/article/2025... #onpoli

I saw a business owner on here say he had just let his junior developer go because of recent improvements to a coding AI and that he couldn't see himself hiring one ever again and... do people not see that if we eliminate all the junior positions, there will never again be another senior developer?

Love that this is happening! #ElbowsUp #Canada #Tech

Mexico, Guatemala and Belize launch tri-national reserve to protect the Maya forest!

Only a few days left to take this questionnaire and write in your own answers to let this Liberal government know that you don't actually want them to be a conservative government.

Meanwhile, in Canada, we wish the monarchs a safe migration.

Immersing yourself in nature has repeatedly been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, but it could also have serious benefits for your physical health

Missing person in #Waterloo: David, Male, age 84, 5'7" slim build, described as Last seen wearing long sleeved red plaid flannel shirt, white undershirt, tan cargo-style shorts, grey knee-high socks and black Sketcher slip on shoes

If one group of people can have their rights taken away, no matter how small, then no rights are safe. Treat those that would take them as you would an enemy because they are one.

I let ChatGPT live my social life so I can spend more time doing what I really love: creating B2B SaaS solutions

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

“If we’re going to spend a billion dollars on extending the light rail transit (to Cambridge), and let people die on the streets, what kind of people are we?”

The only person working in the lumber dept at my local Home Depot is a woman from the garden centre. She doesn't know what stock they have, or where it is. She hasn't been trained to run the saws. She's trying her best, but she's set up to fail.

So Ford wasn’t aware of the financial state of the company he handed billions of taxpayer dollars to?

The one secret every billionaire knows is that their power is extremely fragile and it relies on you not knowing the power that you have.⁣ ⁣ When people realize their power and resist together we can win a fairer, greener and more equitable future for all.

Took a week off to unpack from my move and work on house projects. Layoffs at work kiboshed that plan. The dust has settled, but I'm now owed 2 vacay days and I'm too tired to do anything.

I have to be awake early tomorrow, so of course I'm too amped up to sleep tonight.
