‘That’s my job’: Bob Rae on why he didn’t walk out on Netanyahu speech at UN

Canada’s Ambassador to the United Nations had a simple reason why he didn’t walk out of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the General Assembly: It’s his job.

Sorry #BigBangTheory lol #TechnicallyCorrect isn't #TheBest kind of #Correct 🤷‍♀️

#WhatsGoingOn w/the #Hype of #LLMs (often called #AI) is making us #Rethink what we want it doing vs what the #Value really is in what we do and how we do it.
Let's #BreatheLife back into #Writing!

“Writing is a technology that helps us understand our own ideas better. Where people are involved in thinking and invention — including at universities — it needs to be taught in that spirit.” #AcademicSky

What are the key purposes of human writing? How we name AI-generated text confuses things

As another school year returns, large language models (LLMs) present difficult questions around learning, thinking, plagiarism and authorship for educators.

Hey 👋
I apologize for dropping off here. #DealingWith personal & #FamilyMatters 😅

Thank you to everyone willing to #Reconnect!
#Interestingly & #Thankfully, I'm taking a #Course this year that is focusing on topics of #Care. I'm excited to share my experiences & work with #Diverse folks on this!

Unfortunately, no strong historic/linguistic basis for this.
Great idea socially if appropriate First Peoples are on board... or to lead to a term 1 or pref. all surviving regional First Nations agree with.

I'll call it The Contested Gulf of Mexico until I hear back.

Actually, you're referencing different posts. Some folks were sharing them as a general suicide line. Those are what they're asking to have taken down. I amended my post with additional details.

It's not for everyone, you're right.

It's for T&Q: Trans & Questioning individuals.

Although I'd bet they have some contacts they give folks who call that don't quite fall in their mandate.

I'm still glad this is being offered.

#Coincidence? #IThinkNot.

This guy & ppl who put him on a pedestal set off my #Misogyny & #Nazi radar. Now he's running where #AryanFest was. Gives me the #Heebiejeebies!

Article "A shocking racist event in Alberta's history: the "Aryan Fest"

highlighted: Provost, Alberta

Standout section: At the event, there was a cross-burning and display of a sign reading "KKK White Power" and a swastika flag. Participants wore Nazi uniforms, shouted racist and anti-Semetic chants, and displayed and discharged weapons.

Last paragraph states that a board of inquiry found that the individuals involved and the organization contravened Alberta's human rights legislation.

A list of towns in Battleriver-Crowfoot which has Provost highlighted.

Statement from the elected Conservative MP from Battleriver-Crowfoot saying he will step down so Poilievre can run in a by-election in his place.

Is this what I think it is? Flipping the #narrative from most of #history to instead be all about the #women?

Anything else to say about the #book recommendation?

I'm STILL looking for a good one! Any suggestions? I can't have it interfere with my glasses, as I'm impaired a lot as is. I of course wear one anyway when any risk is up, but I'd rather do it more if it didn't reduce my ability to participate properly and safely.

To get the DTC it costs min. $100, + time, energy, transport$, etc often several times per app, often applying more than once. Plus it's hard to get most tax filers to properly utilize the DTC as most don't understand it & if not used it can lapse 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyone could become disabled. We all need to care!

They act like there’s any debate to be had. Human beings, though we stray a little wider than most, and though we’re still figuring out how to work our human magic while coexisting with nature, are still part of nature. (1/2)
