Stares in Canadian 👀

SNL casts Canadian provided she can evade ICE at border

Somehow through the magic of AI we have made computers less reliable than any handheld calculator from the previous 50 years.

And so the Liberals tried their usual “ Industrial Peace” garbage to oppress worker rights. CUPE and the Air Canada attendants put Carney’s Liberals on notice. That outdated law can’t be used to break workers’ Charter rights. Solidarity!

I support Air Canada Workers!

Somehow, the flappy-bird moves of Diplocaulus in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... are based on real science! Back in 1980, Cruickshank and Skews used a replica and a wind tunnel to show that tilting the head up while facing the current would propulse it upwards ⤴️ #paleontology #gamedev #indiedev

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Complete bullshit, and yet certain university admin will eat this crap up and do real damage. Fuck this timeline.

Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It's fascism. You ask yourself, "why are they doing [thing X]?" Fascism. It's fascism. Fascism is infinitely stupider than we dream, while also being infinitely worse than we are ready for.

Good morning 🌞

The man who had his doctor report that he’s 6’3”, 238 lbs fired the person in charge of reporting labor statistics.

Sad to hear that Margaret Boden, pioneer in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, has passed away. Just a few days ago, someone reactivated the post below. I warmly recommend watching the video. Thank you Margaret for founding and shaping our field. www.sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/re...

How I basically live my life

Holy fuck.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

At least in BC, if the salmon die out, we are doomed.

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

Helen Keller was an activist, author, and educator who championed the rights of people with disabilities and co-founded the ACLU.

Caption this.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

I’m reading Stanley Tucci’s wonderful book Taste. Wow. I see it now as a history book of why was but will never be again and for many, never was.

LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike “There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line”

I wrote a post about how much darker things will get but realized how inappropriate it is right now. I have nothing to give my (non-fascist) American friends but my respect and love. If there is a way to help, I’m there.

I just needed this so much.

No in all the ways. No yesterday. No today. No tomorrow. No by looking at these outcomes. No by looking at these costs. No by calculating these rates. No by studying these and also these other jurisdictions. Exasperating that people keep bringing it up.

What would Agamben say? What will those who write about the atrocities in these camps say?

The No ICE in California charity bundle on itch.io is set to launch on July 4 to support two incredible Immigrants Rights organizations, RAICES and Immigrant Defenders Law Center. Bookmark the bundle page here: itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

Moderators are based in the Global South, working 8 to 12 hours a day reviewing graphic material without adequate breaks, paid leave, or mental health support — sometimes for as little as $2 an hour. Bound by NDAs, they are silenced. #AIEthics jacobin.com/2025/06/ai-m...

Oh good, lots of eviction parties tonight. 🙄

If my religion was so weak that I needed to stop schools from teaching things that cause questions, I’d have bigger problems, frfr.

(Tension melting….)

Speechless.

History says that empire building + cancelling bread and circuses = violence and collapse

Swiftian brilliance

The concept of sexual harassment has endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor.

Every single day I peek at social media and see some completely insane piece of news and say “what the fuck?!”

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I feel like this one is a lost Rage Against the Machine song.

you know what, I’m impressed, we really did mostly do the right thing here and it doesn’t seem to have resulted in any sort of sustained harassment campaign because he just got blocked to oblivion great work, well done everyone

But…but..how will they monetize themselves? Greed kills everything.

Not all postsecondary institutions will do this and not even many faculty or students. But those who buy in at this level will die off. Their students won’t be able to reason.

So….Musk’s developers are scared to tell him AI doesn’t reason? How much bullshit can our current systems take until we drown in it?

“I just find it fascinating that this student can write [a racist] article, a series of [racist] articles that are essentially manifestoes, and that’s free speech,” Ms. Chatman said, “but my class can’t be called ‘Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.’”
