Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

Everyone’s been doing hockey romance recs — and good thing! — but I’d like to also take a moment and point out that there’s a ton of great Asian-Canadian contemporary romance writing happening right now too!

I am lucky that I was able to move back to Canada with my family, and *every day* I still feel relieved about our decision--not happy, not smug, just relieved. Yes, Canada is very deeply flawed, but I didn't realize how much fear and anxiety I accepted as my normal state when I lived in the US.

Canada is a deeply flawed country with its own messed up politics and problems right now, but every day I read the news, it gets clearer why my decision to move from NYC back to Toronto was the right one

There is an essential & extremely generalizable point here.

Critical thinking is a team sport. We all need metacognition buddies because human brains. It doesn't matter how quote unquote smart you are. Especially in the slop times.

The most pernicious aspect of ChatGPT is how it isolates minds.
paleofuture.bsky.social Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 4d
The thing that jumps out to me here is that the article says the doctor’s *colleague* went looking for the fake studies.

It suggests the doctor who used ChatGPT didn’t check for himself and uncritically assumed they were real.

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/hosp...
Mayo Clinic cardiologist Paul A. Friedman turned to ChatGPT when he needed to weigh in on the case of a patient who needed a defibrillator implantation a few days after having heart surgery. Friedman thought such a procedure was feasible and safe but wanted to know whether there were case studies. ChatGPT responded by giving him references to several reports published in medical journals that it said showed such a procedure was "safe and effective." Friedman said "it looked very realistic" until a colleague tried searching for the studies only to discover they were completely fabricated.

I don't care if she didn't follow directions; I don't care if she was disrespectful; I don't care if she was noncompliant; I don't care if she spit in his face, called him ugly, and smacked his mom - "immediate execution by the state" was not warranted; jfc, this isn't complicated.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

More details from the petition in image, if you need it.
Please sign! 🇨🇦
Petition to the Minister of Health Whereas: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms exists to protect individuals and minority communities from discriminatory laws; Recent legislation enacted by the Governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan restricts the rights, dignity, and safety of transgender and gender-diverse people, particularly children and youth, including access to gender-affirming and medically appropriate health care; These provincial governments have invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield such legislation from judicial review, thereby preventing Charter challenges from being meaningfully heard; The Constitution Act, 1867 provides the federal government, through section 90, with the authority to disallow certain provincial legislation in order to protect constitutional principles and minority rights; and The use of extraordinary constitutional powers to limit Charter protections warrants careful federal review and response. We, the undersigned, Concerned Allies of Transgender Canadians, call upon the Minister of Health to Recommend and support, within Cabinet, the exercise of the Government of Canada’s constitutional authority, including the power of disallowance under section 90 of the Constitution Act, 1867, to annul or repeal provincial legislation enacted in Alberta and Saskatchewan that restricts the rights of transgender and gender-diverse people and has been shielded from Charter scrutiny through the use of the notwithstanding clause, and to affirm the federal government’s responsibility to uphold Charter rights across Canada. Open for signature December 18, 2025, at 12:36pm (EDT) Closed for signature February 16, 2026, at 12:36pm (EDT)
