SCOOP from me for @nationalobserver.com. A major climate measure in Toronto is on hold. The city has shelved its building emissions standards, pointing to shifting federal climate policy and limit imposed by Ford.
Toronto blames federal funding cuts and Ford-era limits for shelving building emissions bylaw
The City of Toronto has pulled back planned rules for cutting building emissions, citing new federal and provincial barriers.

Meantime our forests will burn and we have no national strategy to deal with that. We're a joke. I'm numb.
Pro-oil spokesperson on CBC says we need more oil pipelines because of the extra energy demands from AI. So Canada is going all-in on destroying the planet. It's a choice. Canada has chosen extinction. The Carney government is officially dead to me.

Today, this states national holiday celebrates the stealing of land and genocide of millions of people while also buying millions of other people from their homeland to be forced to slave away.
This country started as a colonial slave state, and truly that is a tradition it keeps around.

Twenty five years ago, the emergence of HIV was traced the the 1930’s in a fascinating study.

The resistance to Gen AI is being killed because AAUP (professor's union) does fuck all to actually help professors when Gen AI is forced on us, and AI Now Institute's brilliant offensive is to propose counter legislation... in a fascist government where every pol with power is paid off.

But no.

I work in accessibility and AI is very bad for accessibility.
It is so wrong all the time and the access it provides is so substandard, that it can't actually be called access.
Granted, I'm speaking mostly about AI captions and alt text. Just... AI is not an acceptable replacement for human work.

Yes, the goal was always to kill trans people. They hate us and want us all to suffer and die. There was and can never be a common ground with fascists. They are genocidal and illuded. There is no amount of compromise that will make them stop.
Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.
