"And unlike other non-living things, AI systems can form relationships with humans." Unlike other non-living things, AI systems are designed by coprorate interests to deceive people and make them feel that the relationships they formed are actually reciprocated. (There, fixed it for you.) >>

This is crazy, also a funny read! Which is good, because otherwise one would simply despair...

I guess it's "weird opinion pieces about motherhood day". This is an insane statement. School, university, sure - that's not their lane. Your mom - I guess, if you say so. But POP CULTURE never told you that motherhood was meaningful?????

Elbows up (fruit and veg edition) Threw out perfectly good cilantro (whatev) and grapes (PAIN) because they were from the US, for all the good that'll do!!

Americans thinking Canadian wildfire smoke shouldn’t affect them and Canadians thinking FDA cuts won’t affect our food supply. We’re all on this continent together, buckos. Smoke, parasites and viruses don’t care about borders.

I mean, I lol'd BUT this time of my life (pregnant, working full time, 1.5 year old at home), was one of the hardest of my life so I get it!!

1. this is insane and/but 2. makes sense that a man would find it "terrifying" (lotta similar quotes from men too)

and the cup, which did NOT come home,

*remembers my Irish ancestry* good!

New meme just dropped

well if there's one thing hockey fans know, it's never a good idea to just try and sit on a 1-0 lead lol

btw yesterday I asked a British guy why everyone hates Argentina, and he said it's because (allegedly) Fifa favours them e.g. with calls, reviews. I said oh, like how Gary Bettman doesn't want a Canadian team to win the cup. And he said "who's Gary Bettman". The cultural exchange continues

I like that the guy looks like a sickly Victorian child

I made a hockey noise for that goal

Boy, the Alberta Transportation's new Barbaric Urban Bicycle Lanes Tip Line, and that drop-down menu sans "Other" field. www.alberta.ca/report-conce...

Did we just have a military fly over or I am losing it

Weird that safety, planning, and integration aren't mentioned alongside "taxpayer dollars", though they obviously cost money too; only "reducing the existing road network"

While we wait, feel free to fill out this form in whatever way you deem appropriate...

I don't think so, Tim (or Dani)

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

What's everyone reading this weekend?

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I *should* be this type of person, given my lack of any sense of direction, but my driving anxiety means I definitely know *exactly* how I got anywhere because I read, reread, and probably wrote down the directions from Google Maps

Got in on the ground floor for once

I don't even drink, just here for the ratio

You picked the wrong gal!

Today's was the kind of crossword that makes you run to the comment section, which didn't disappoint

Someone do a VIDA count on this guy's library, stat www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/s...

Off to kiss Prince Bonesaw's ring.

related: I am being reminded, and not for the first time, why it's risky to search for "bear" anywhere online.

I finished The Bear and the season was not great until the last two episodes, but my biggest complaint is who the fuck calls someone seven times and doesn't leave a voicemail, text, or email? I am begging writers (in all mediums) to engage with technological reality!!!

we're so back

To everyone posting about soccer, I'm happy for you, or sorry that happened

Seeing accusations that this is AI generated, due to the clunky first sentence, but I think it's just pretentious and academic (the guy has a PhD in film). The argument is good tho, Middlemarch is literally the safest possible pick for a best novel of all time! lareviewofbooks.org/article/cano...

Can't believe welp isn't trending right now, given my feed.

welp

If this was hockey I'd say there's tons of time but uh

This reffing is designed to reward flopping.

Cards flying.

google says no but...

I am locked in

I wanna see this by province & by party. And honestly expected the NDP % to be higher. "Proud" is a tricky word. I have not felt *uncomplicated* pride since reading the TRC report in 2015...

Consulting my records, the Austen novel I have left un-re-read for the longest time is... Pride and Prejudice, last read in March of 2011! I don't have to wonder whether it will hold up to a reread...

Really feeling that summertime malaise, might eff around and participate in Jane Austen July! Hosted by @spinsterslibrary.bsky.social youtu.be/LOd2Jp9Pf-c?...

I read A World Appears by Michael Pollan, then fell down a rabbit hole of people recounting their salvia trips on Reddit... Pollan gives some air time to mushrooms and ketamine but I think if we want to know what consciousness is, we gotta figure out what the deal is with salvia!!
