13 hours. That was hell. And let’s face it, we were probably some of the lucky ones. Scott Moe and the SaskParty have a LOT to answer for.

We should talk way more about how Canada is basically five banks, five big insurance companies, three telcos, two grocery chains, a handful of big REITs and some mining concerns.

The deeply entrenched power of our corporate overlords is a big reason why Canadian politics & culture is the way it is.

Well, after seven hours in the RGH ER waiting room with no end in sight, I think I can safely say: if 811 tells you to go to the emergency room…maybe don’t.

Sure could have used a 24/7 urgent care clinic tonight. Last night? This morning? Taking bets on whether we’ll get out of this ER waiting room before the weekend.

Britain withdrew from the Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates) because they couldn’t afford to govern them any more. That might count?

Everyone needs to see AI for what it is—a project that undermines truth & agency while transferring wealth from individual creators to Silicon Valley companies & VC’s. Rooted in exploitation of humanity & the planet, it’s a tool for the radical right to claim dominion & end representative democracy.

These are profoundly anti social tools that erode the social fabric. Their main purposes are harassment, abuse, demolishing consent and furthering an authoritarian project.

Any uses outside of that are incidental.

There is still beauty in the world if you know where to look.
The fiery hues of Fall leaves drifting in the sun, or the way malevolent fogs roll through town, carrying the swirling spirits of those lost at sea.

"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way.

It would be neat if it wasn’t marketed as AI. Predictive statistical modeling doesn’t really slide off the tongue I guess

It does make me feel weirdly better that even the pope has strangers explain his job to him on the internet

Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

At the end of the day, so much of these moral panics are driven by eugenics and the belief that certain people shouldn't exist.

Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

On Sunday, #Zürich residents voted 52.8% in favor of increasing parking fees for cars according to weight.

The owner of a BMW X2 (Diesel), which weighs 1,675 kilograms, will now pay equivalent of €717 Euros per year to park on a public street. (Before, about €321.)

Direct democracy!
