HEY! Here's a new piece for The Point, part 3 of my ongoing series on carbon capture. This one's on why demanding subsidies for an absurd activity basically guarantees perpetual public funds (which help support fossil fuel expansion) thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Could this be the start of a bold new plan where the city gradually cuts program funding and shifts to a volunteer private donor model? What other programs could the city cut and ask for donations to maintain?

Oh, oh, oh #electronics

there's a new trend among young people called "microliving" they close their eyes for a few seconds and experience a rich and fulfilling life from start to finish in their minds. birth. friendship. love. heartbreak. joy. loss. grief. death. but how does this affect their productivity at work

Canadian Liberals have always pushed climate policy that doesn't work, while expanding, subsidising and sustaining fossil fuel projects. They've always loved fake stuff like "carbon capture", not to mention fracking, and the oil sands.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

We can also afford to house and feed Canadians. This government just doesn't want to. It also pledged $150 billion PER YEAR to expanded militarism.

I’m not a fan of politicians trying to make people angry for votes by claiming there actually IS a “war on cars” (there isn’t — if anything there’s been a war on every OTHER way of getting around since the 1960s). A politician just made the claim on LinkedIn. Here’s the reply I posted. #UrbanTruth

Solidarity with Anna Posbergh and all other colleagues who have to work in these absolutely Orwellian circumstances.

not only do you not have to watch you can log off and not read any of the posts about it you can read a book about wizard detectives bake a cake hug your dog paint a picture go to bed early get a drink with a friend plan your garden start a jigsaw puzzle knit a scarf do some stretching take a bath

BROOKLYN ICE IN CLINTON HILL NYPD ASSISTING LET PEOPLE KNOW

I think, in fact, continues

I designed a #German version of "Stop Forcing AI Into Every Fucking Thing" from a translation emailed to me. "Würgt Eure K.I. nicht in jeden Scheiss rein" (This typeface didn't have a ß, and my attempt to draw one to match just looked awful, so I gave up.)

Now that I have ZERO housing prospects and my co-signer has been laid off from their job, I’m just gonna say it: I have been functionally homeless before. I do not have another experience of that in me. My health won’t permit it, physical or mental.

No argument a lot of things today are throw away, there are plenty of examples. But, we also throw a lot of things away that even basic electronic/soldering skills could fix. Even just replacing a plug on an electric drill. That's a skill issue.

A bonus of following poets on this site is they post proper page images and extremely diverse #typography perhaps moreso than any other interest group, even typographers

I would rather a very simple "no war with Iran" like AOC said

Funny how that happens every single time

I remember Maiola! A very eye-catching debut The University of Reading fostered so many good type design students. #typography

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

Amen to that. And as a courtesy discussion tip, transgender bans were not in the 2023 UCP platform in case anyone suggests that it would be undemocratic to reverse them. unitedconservative.ca/ucp-platform...

The Prime Ministers have always had to the power to overrule the provinces on all their horrendous legislation and choose not to. I fought with the Trudeau admin about this regarding racist bill 22 in Québec exempting religious symbols from public service and electoral seats were more important.

Gentle reminder Mark Carney has the power to reverse trans bans in Alberta. #abpoli #cdnpoli

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

These paragraphs are a very good summary of why LLMs can never improve the field of software engineering or reproduce any of its important processes. And in the misguided attempt, it is killing cognition, career progression and skills development for generations of engineers. #aifraud

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

why bother making humanoid robots when they can just suck the soul out of every possible interaction we could have with each other?

wow, wonder if it has any drag, friction, inefficiencies, externalities, or delayed effects that might have to be subtracted from this big old zero and why does Sam Altman and a passel of sociopaths run the economy

Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.
