And the (hopefully unintentional) visual references to the Blade Runner master classes in movie storytelling only served to highlight that this perineum of a movie should not have been made in the first place. Studios just don’t know when to stop beating a dead light cycle. #honestreview
I just saw Tron Ares. No spoilers. My review: it’s a visual masturbatory exercise of the colour red & an example of how Jared fucking Leto can make an incredibly over rendered CGI/AI universe and character look like a cardboard cutout that’s been left out in the rain in every scene he is in… #scifi
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared…
On this 1st anniversary of my mom’s death, my dad and I visited a few of her favourite places, shared good memories, and recited the passage she had chosen as part of her memorial service.

Rest in peace mom….
One of my best experiences to date at Service Ontario to renew my drivers licence and health card. Making an appointment in advance really speeds things up. I was in and out in 15 min. Both cards renewed with a new photo taken and some pleasant chit chat with the rep.
Sadly it almost all eventually will when however much has been spread on the roads and walkways of the city melt into the drains in the springtime.
That’s just one about 4 huge ridges/escarpments (I can’t think of a non-geographic term) of salt waiting for the coming season.
Salt Mountains. There City of Toronto’s stockpile of road salt by the lake. A very “Christo & Jeanne-Claude” vibe. #blackandwhite #photography

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Covering topics like #bias & lack of #diversity in data models, along with #regulatory & #governance requirements of the profession, they received a good intro to the appropriate use of AI tools & how to critically think about use cases & applications.
It was a pleasure guest lecturing at George Brown College in #Toronto this afternoon emphasizing the importance of the human connection for child & youth care workers in an age of easy access to #AI tools. It’s critical for 1st year student academic & professional development….
He’s known to cosplay being a polar bear in the winter as well.
Chester celebrates the changing seasons with a chic Maple Leaf acting as an impromptu fascinator. He loves the cooler autumn temps so he can run and play ball without overheating. #Dailychester #sheepadoodle #dogsofbluesky
I find this incredibly problematic in a whole lot of ways. (Even as a dog owner would would be devastated at the loss of my pet.)
A new Search Party tool built into Ring’s Neighbors service will allow people to send out a local alert if their dog goes AWOL. Once it’s triggered, all nearby Ring devices will keep an eye out for the pup. nyti.ms/3IQ3iFo
Chester visits the Garden of the Gods tonight where he makes the Minotaur see red, tops his cousin Cerberus, and is serenaded by Pan. #Dailychester #sheepadoodle #dogsofbluesky
