Trans women protesting outside Scottish Parliament this May.
I love it when trans women protest topless. If they're arrested, the state must admit they're women. If they aren't, it shows the glaring contradictions of labeling trans women as legally male. It helps their cause either way.

oh your neighbors didn't clear the snow off their sidewalk and you are wheelchair bound? so you think that your little sidewalk is more important than, say, plowing the snow in front of a neonatal intensive care unit? hm?

i think sports and its need to produce actual results could provide a useful heuristic here. which teams do we think are most likely to heavily integrate AI into their front office right now between... let's say the dodgers, the brewers, the nationals, and the white sox?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Let’s talk about the size of trucks & SUVs in the city. My column on the virtue & status signalling of vehicle bloat.
Shawn Micallef: This truck ad shows why Toronto needs smaller vehicles — if only the carmakers wanted to sell them
A car comically overloaded with plywood? It’s a good ad for a pickup — but also a sign of the incredible amount of money, weight and energy being wasted on
