When I was a child, teachers sat the best girl students next to disruptive boy students. The girls were responsible for keeping the boys calm so that the teacher could continue teaching. This sort of emotional regulation by proxy, using girls and women to calm boys and men, still happens.

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto https://theonion.com/man-who-threw-molotov-cocktail-at-sam-altmans-home-claims-he-was-following-chatgpt-recipe-for-risotto/

One thing no one seems to mention when talking about grocery profiteering in Canada is that the 4% of revenue as profit, which is already an outlier, is a lie. Loblaws’ largest expense is rent for their stores. Guess who they rent from. If you guessed a Weston shell company the wildly overcharges

This is a hard story to read. Imagine being asked to ignore a dead coworker to maintain productivity that further enriches shareholders. What would that do to your mental health? How could you return to work the next day? The human costs of our late-stage capitalist economy are all too real.

As always: We should simply ban facial recognition.

Milestone tracking: If Dobes can reach 30W as a rookie goaltender on Tuesday night, he would match Henrik Lundqvist, Glenn Hall, Mike Vernon and Ryan Miller's rookie campaign. It would also make him the 21st goaltender in NHL history to mark 30W as a rookie.

Many Habs have hit milestones this season, but with Dobes likely playing Tuesday night, Jacob Fowler will finish the season with 9 career wins. Which means he'll need to wait until next season to hit 10W to match Habs legends such as Al Montoya, Herb Rheaume and Charlie Lindgren.

I've been accused more than once of being a Carceral Feminist because I know there are men who are unsafe. I've worked with too many families whose loved ones were killed because their abusers were unrestricted. But prisons do not rehabilitate and they certainly won't under these conditions.

Doug Ford is shutting down safe consumption sites while being very keen to open more prisons. If you do not see how all these things are connected, then congrats. You're the exact voter the Liberals are courting.

With last night's win, the Canadiens have set themselves with their 2nd-best season of the OT/SO era of tiebreakers with a record of 48-23-10 and 106 points. With a win vs PHI on Tuesday, they would end up just behind the 14-15 Canadiens who went 50-22-10 riding Price's best career year.

Wouldn't it be cool to invest trillions of dollars into a technology that would actually make society better? Maybe we can call it “HI” — Human Intelligence. Instead of “data centers”, we could fund “schools”. Instead of *stealing* art, literature, and science, we help people *create* it. Crazy!

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

Also one last commuter complaint from the Montreal-Toronto corridor: There should not be a Northumberland County in Southern Ontario.

Some Canadian EV owner thoughts while I'm waiting to recharge: 1. Ontario OnRoute stations should have triple their current charging capacity. No point making any push for more EV production/import if no one can easily get a recharge. Also, maintain the stations properly.

Mark Carney wants the fantasy of AI to be reality, despite the evidence it’s not coming, but ignores how AI creates an antisocial world where more people suffer mental health challenges, do not think critically, are addicted to screens, have their work degraded, and can’t tell fact from fiction.

The NCAA’s inequitable eligibility rules allowing NHL draft picks and former pros while banning women from entering the PWHL draft removes choice and career opportunities in the game for women. More: thehockeynews.com/womens/colle...

If I'm the Avs front office, I'm sitting most of my top guys for the last few games. You already have Makar out, why tempt fate? You have your home ice locked up for the playoffs. If they sit MacKinnon, I think Caufield may not surpass him but ties him and they share the Rocket Richard trophy.

Regulate corporations, not people. Start by regulating the use of algorithms to deliver content, don’t allow ads/paid targeting anyone under 16, platform culpability for the spread of misinformation on, require limits on engagement-based user experience design, etc.

Looking forward to the 100% rational takes on Hage returning to MIC for another season. My only statement is this. The kid legitimately wept tears of joy when the Canadiens called his name in 2024. He grew up a Habs fan. He will wear the CH. Let him pursue his path if that is what he wants to do.

Lane Hutson is at 75P, if he can pick up 2 points in the last 3 games he will pass Guy Lapointe's best season as a Hab (76P) and sit by himself with the 3rd-best offensive season for a defender in team history. His 56P at even strength this season is also the 2nd-best mark in team history for a D.

Habs prospect Bryce Pickford scored his 5th goal of the playoffs last night, his 2nd of the game, and the OT winner. He now has 50 goals this year 🔥

Obama's former minister once said "God Damn America" and we never heard the end of it.

Also, for your ultra-niche Habs stat of the day: Slafkovsky's next point will tie him with Richard Zednik for the most productive Slovakian player in franchise history(183 points) I looked this stat up on a lark and couldn't help but laugh at the timing.

The top 5 scorers for the 2021-22 Canadiens: Suzuki: 61P Caufield: 43P Hoffman: 35P Dvorak: 33P Anderson: 32P Top 5 for 2025-26: Suzuki: 98P Caufield: 87P Hutson: 75P Slafkovsky: 71P Demidov: 61P And the "establishment" said Hughes and Marty were not the right people to rebuild this franchise.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Also critical to the not-speaking-German outcome: the Red Army. So Europe should, presumably, have supported the Soviets in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and perhaps the Russians in Ukraine.

If manufacture a car with a defect that kills people, you're responsible. If you manufacture a pharmaceutical that kills people who take it, you're responsible. Why shouldn't the developers of LLMs be held to the same standard of liability as any other industry?

Hey so my third book came out this week, but I'm recovering from major hand surgery (bone extraction) so my ability to promotion online is severely hindered. If you all can help spread the word about my feral space opera trilogy, I'll love you forever.

My Habs alumni t-shirts have arrived just in time for the last critical stretch of the season.

The rehabilitation of the luddites is a beautiful thing

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

This is why the term “cognitive surrender” needs to start being used QUICKLY. It actually clearly defines what these fools want.

With a win tonight, Montreal can gain a 2-point lead on Tampa Bay for 2nd place in the Division. It would also mean they tie for their 2nd-best record in the OT/SO era, matching the 47W and 104P of the 2007-08 Canadiens.

Anne-Marie Mediwake: You have repeatedly said we need to tax the rich in order to pay for this Avi Lewis: Oh yeah.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Once upon a time @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I wrote a trilogy about book nerds in a dystopian future who just wanted to build a library but the tech bros wouldn't stop being evil so they did community organizing & crimes. They are ON SALE this month for $2.99! www.kitrocha.com/series/merce...

Gladu has a history of making decidedly un-Liberal statements She's suggested she Canada should "return" to its Christian "foundation" and also shared anti-Muslim videos, commenting: "People came to a country with certain values and now want to kill everyone else" pressprogress.ca/this_conserv...

Interesting indeed: in 2021, Gladu opposed and voted against Bill C-6, an act that would end the practice of conversion therapy in Canada. In 2023,she introduced a bill that would declare December to be Christian Heritage Month.

Wild that Spain can have a spine! Wish we could do that

There is a story on the agency the Leafs are consulting with to find a new head of hockey operations and it notes Rutherford in VAN, Verbeek in ANA and Keith Jones with PHI as previous examples of matching an executive to a team.

Feel safe knowing everyone from doctors to police officers to military leaders are making life-or-death decisions using programs designed “for entertainment purposes only”

"I didn't mean it like that!" They were warned in committee numerous times about what opening these floodgates would mean, and were dismissed every time.

No idea what Marty was thinking on that goalie pull. Habs clearly didn't have zone control.

I like Kapanen, but his 2nd PP assignment is not working for him. Every time he's at the wall near the blue line on the PP, he mishandles the puck or just gets stripped.

No idea why MSL rotates the PP at the 1 minute mark so often. The best the 2nd unit gives us is not allowing a SHG.

Luke Hughes deciding to emulate the Tkachuk family on that one.
