I was drawing clown noses on all the election signs in the municipal election we just had in Montreal, and people kept giving me shit... my response: "si la politique est ridicule, la ridicule est politique, c'est democratie" #Montreal #elections

Great article on LLMs. tl,dr: uncanny valley exists for a reason, hone that detection skill. Reminds me of the full version of the doppelgänger legend - if you see your double, kill it before it takes over your life and kills YOU. #ai #LLM www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

If you hate bagels & smoked meat so much, you don't deserve Montreal, and shouldn't have moved to the Plateau. Alex Norris (Projet Montreal) was such a dick about this that I resolved to never vote PM again as long as they let him to run on their ticket. montrealgazette.com/news/local_p...

I make it personal policy not to platform transphobes - but contextually this is great and yeah, "Stay mad, JK". Good on Glamour UK for standing firm. Protect the dolls. www.huffpost.com/entry/glamou...

Google AI said the ideal internal temp. for a beehive is 3435°C. Note that 1084°C is the melting temp. of copper. I took a screenshot for proof. "Brood-rearing area Ideal temperature: 3435°C (9495°F)" I'm sure the LLM just stripped out the en dash (34-35°C) but wow #AISlop #AI #enshittification

H2O is water and H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. What is H2O4? Drinking. Yeah. I’ll see myself out.🤪

I went on a used vinyl blitz today, & made good finds from opera to experimental to new wave to, well, this. I have always loved krautrock & while it might be responsible for techno, industrial, & a new mindset about how music could be, this one is simply a total banger. youtu.be/FnlY4cTls94?...

I suspect I have been cursed with werewolfism but there was a mistake in the incantation. This morning I had a tickle in my throat, I coughed, and as if I was a cartoon cat, a feather flew out. Seriously, no joke. A feather. So apparently I now roam the streets at night ...as a cartoon cat?

Look, if you get a nazi tattoo you are never, ever going to be progressive. It takes a very special white boy to get that shit tattooed. You're intentionally marking yourself with it. If you go back on it you're a coward & a liar as well as a piece of shit racist, because yeah, you always were.

If you actually look to Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn as channels you want to be on in terms of SEO then this is a very handy tool. #seo #UXdesign

July, my daughter's girlfriend committted suicide. August, my father suddenly died of lung failure. This last weekend, both my wife's mother's current husband and my mother's current husand died - cancer & old age, respectively. I'm being in the moment, and moving through it. But WTF

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

This is a great metaphor for all the UX "redesigns" motivated by itchy fingers rather than actual user needs.

"C'EST QUOI UN GROYPER?" Une explication qui tombe à pic par l'une des MEILLEURES illustratrices du Québec. Gravel met souvent ses talents au service de causes humanitaires et connaît super bien ce sujet.

The radical left wants UBI wants affordable housing wants police reforms etc The radical right wants you dead wants white supremacy are Nazis These are not the same. These have never been the same.

"Here's what our product can do" and "Here's what you can do with our product" sound similar, but they are completely different approaches. - www.useronboard.com/features-vs-...

"Humour is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humour was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important." - Ludwig Wittgenstein

Great analysis here! "This is also why Alien belongs beside cyberpunk despite some differences in surface aesthetics. The critique is not “technology is scary.” It is “governance is throughput.” Policy becomes diegetic machinery."

Up a deer blind, next to the apple tree my Dad wanted his ashes under. We get his ashes this week. #RIP #RuralLife #Canada

I, too, am a hater. "...I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." #LLM #AI anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

MIssing my Dad today. His funeral will be Sunday. This is me and him around 1974. He is dressed like that because he ran his own candymaking business, those are his work clothes. I'm dressed like that because it was the 70s. RIP K.M. Rogers 'the Candyman'
