No one “turned on white dudes”. We turned on people acquiring power through corruption, clinging to it with violence,using it to justify racism, misogyny, sexual abuse and economic injustice. And since not all white duded are like this, it must not be the “white” or the “dude” that is the problem.

English Composition professor here: AI is not good at straight English. In fact it's very, very bad at that!

It's not replacing cognition at all. It's a pattern replication machine that has difficulty problem solving beyond a grade 9 level. It's confidently wrong and hyper validating to make people fall in love with it leading to mass psychosis. It's also getting worse over time.

The Harvard Crimson has ID'ed and published the name of a well-known economist who was the subject of emails between Larry Summers and Epstein. Born in China, she did her B.A. – Ph.D. at Harvard. The code name that Summers and Epstein used in their emails about her was "peril." What a vile pig.

“Marketed for kids 3-12, Kumma gave step-by-step instructions on a common “knot for beginners” who want to tie up their partner. Another time, the AI explored the idea of introducing spanking into a sexually-charged teacher-student dynamic, which is obviously ghoulishly inappropriate for young kids”

"Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o model by default...tests repeatedly showed that the AI toy dropped its guardrails the longer a conversation went on, until hitting rock bottom on incredibly disturbing topics."

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Maybe we need public service workers? All the people who run things in the country?

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Did you know that over *half* of the GHG emissions from Southeast Asia come from deforestation & agriculture? We can't solve climate change without taking these seriously. drawdown.org/insights/why...

Only “8,500 people in asylum accommodation have the right to work because they entered the country on a visa and later claimed asylum” Most asylum seekers are not allowed to work. Allowing them to work would’ve made more sense. But sense isn’t what this is about. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"I had not been everyone's first image of a leader...I was a very ordinary person who found themselves in a set of extraordinary circumstances. But I had been a leader. And I had done it on my own terms." - @jacindaardern.bsky.social whose greatest legacy has been normalizing empathetic leadership

Kory Teneycke on Pierre Poilievre: "The sort of mean girls, acidic, apple‑eating kind of style that he brings to media relations at times—I don’t think makes him more likable; I think it makes him less likable.”

Scott Reid on Pierre Poilievre doubling down on his leadership style: “Nothing strikes a stranger tone than someone who says, ‘I need to make no corrections, no fixes whatsoever,’ and then proceeds to blame everyone else for his problems—including the media, who report the defection of two MPs.”

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

Local woman wakes up, collaborates with the aurora borealis so that during the next solar storm all the fucko buckos are yeeted into the sun while the rest of us watch a beautiful light show, makes oatmeal.

Ottawa’s Alternative Neighbourhood Crisis Response (ANCHOR) team launched in August 2024 and responded to 4,464 calls ~response to 92% of calls without the need for police intervention ~community-led response team rather than police for mental health and substance abuse crises

Does a resident doctor earn more than an MP? No. Let’s save the desperate morality grasps from politicians then. MPs have had umpteen pay rises since 2010 and they have quietly and relentlessly awarded these to themselves, regardless of what the public is going through.

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else..." Remembering Georgia O'Keeffe on her birthday. Nov 15. 💐💐💐

Elizabeth Holmes deserves so much worse. She was only ever convicted of defrauding her investors even though she also defrauded thousands of patients.

My building had a springclean working bee today. Deep clean of communal laundries and rubbish room, new mulch on all the garden beds plus other bits and bobs. About 50 of us turned up to help. Followed by a sausage sizzle on the rooftop garden ❤️ #community #Nightingale

Israeli forces open fire on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, no injuries reported reut.rs/4pfHJOh

Immigration raids in Hawaiʻi are especially ironic since the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was illegally overthrown and the Hawaiian Islands annexed by the United States against the will of the people.

#ScienceSunday #Vaccines Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing! Vaccines save lives.

Every November, #NovaScotia acknowledges the historic support the city of #Boston, Mass provided during Canada’s worse #explosion in #HalifaxHarbour in 1917. Its 45 ft white spruce #Christmastree makes it way each year to Boston Common, near 139 Tremont Street for tree lighting. 🎄

I would love to see all politicians have to take and pass an ethics course and to have to adhere to an ethical code. Why are so many professions accountable with respect to ethics but those who control countries are not?

Good grief #COP30 can’t even agree that the @ipcc.bsky.social provides the best available science! I am a critic of many elements of my county’s current climate stance but I am grateful that #nz was fighting for science on this issue!!

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

www.cbc.ca/radio/sunday... Harassing birds to get them to leave their habitat is a very different approach to how cormorants are dealt with elsewhere. In NL, we have a bird sanctuary around the major nesting sites. Tourists come from all over to see them.

Men won’t tell other men they know well not to be misogynistic assholes but they will sure as hell get online and argue the benefit of the doubt for a man they’ll never ever meet against proclamations of harm he perpetrated to women

Holy shit the number of people on this app saying Clinton’s behavior with his intern/employee was consensual and thus fine is maddening. A manager at Shoe Carnival can’t do that with an employee & keep their job - for good reason - and I bet you wouldn’t be arguing about that.

Episode 7 is live! This week we discuss the Epstein emails, Larry Summers, etc and how that relates to women ruining the workplace. @alyssaburgart.com ruined the workplace a few times in just the last week, even!

After being diagnosed with a cancer that he didn’t actually have, Anthony Olson dropped out of college, moved back in with his parents and began Weiner’s prescribed regimen: four straight days on chemo, four weeks off. Olson endured this for nine years. (Published Dec. 2024)

Can we all keep in mind that the Republicans believe that by releasing all of Epstein’s ESTATE documents (and counting on people feeling overwhelmed by 20,000 pages) we will all stop asking for the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Files that likely contain the most damning info about Trump and others. /1

On Trans Awareness Week, we recognise and celebrate the contributions of trans and non-binary people to our society — as well as recommitting ourselves to ensuring they can live in peace and dignity, with proper access to basic rights, healthcare and culture.
