That is the most adorable Krampus I have ever seen. ❤️
🤩I love those. I'll have to look for them.
The #CrochetAway theme for this week is latest FO. I've been squirreling away on hats for the YSB Christmas hampers, and every now and then, one of them is #crochet. 🧶

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

What! The Fuck?
The Ford government is making changes to Ontario’s election rules that could keep Premier Ford in office until 2030. The PCs dropped the bombshell in the afternoon of an already busy news day. They’re also raising the limits for political donations from $3,400 to $5,000. #cdnpoli

Help my friend escape her hell!
I usually don't post things like this, but I know this woman well, and I am truly afraid for her life. I've donated a good chunk, every little bit helps. Had she been in Norway I would have had her out of there a long time ago.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
I'm in. Here's to hoping it'll take off. 🤞🏼
