Put this in your minds now: these corrupt motherfuckers will argue in favor of Trump and the AI corporations that back him. Many AI companies like Palantir already define themselves by their pocketbook and because many of the judges here take bribes, they too will serve their billionaire masters.

Habs CHL prospect action:

We have a *potential* goalie showdown tonight, with Blainville-Boisbriand visiting Newfoundland. Yesterday, B-B peppered NL 10-4, with Arseni Radkov in net for the former.

No guarantee Radkov goes again tonight, but NL's Mikus Vecvanegs may be in net for NL tonight. 1/2

Also just continues to drive me insane that people who are absolutely ignorant about technology get put in charge of overseeing and making law about it. Imagine the media/opposition firestorm if someone with a humanities background was made the finance minister.

The RCMP could stumble over a crime scene with a person standing over a dead body, laughing maniacally while holding the likely murder weapon, and still take a month to interview them, likely about whether they saw any indigenous persons nearby.

Toronto Star @thestar.com · 1d

Only one of the four Progressive Conservatives who lost their jobs in the Greenbelt imbroglio has been interviewed by the RCMP in a probe that began two years ago, the Star has learned.

Two years later, top Tories who lost jobs in Greenbelt scandal still haven’t been interviewed by RCMP

Royal Canadian Mounted Police officials were tight-lipped when contacted about the second anniversary of launching their criminal inquiry.

I struggled for weeks on third-year essay, rage-quit at 2am, changed my topic entirely, read Wild Swans and wrote an essay on it in two days. Got the highest mark of my whole degree.

And then I knew I could do that. You learn when you do. Which is the real part genAI can't help with.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
