This is a moral crime of the first order. If there's a hell, Elon Musk would burn in it

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

For the uninitiated: The pope being this direct and explicit to U.S. bishops about how to respond to a domestic policy happening in real time is…unusual.

thank you brett kavanaugh!

"But it matters that one of the first AI bots forced upon us as a new vision of the future is a woman. It matters that in the cultural imaginings of men, she’s a pliable virgin.

Society doesn’t want real human women."

go ahead change your pitchers, see if that helps

the one-two of "Yankees fans boo O Canada"/Vladdy homering in the first inning

well

I certainly didn't hate that

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

It's fascinating to me that there's a whole "AI skeptic" misinformation ecosystem out there that somehow continues to deny that Waymo exists. Like, this is easy to fact check! Waymo runs publicly-available service in 5 cities, you can just go look up how it works and see it's not planned routes!

New from me at TVO, on the Premier's spat with Diageo. www.tvo.org/article/anal...

A sure sign of anti-bike concern trolling is an elected official who lives nowhere near the bike lane in question suddenly becoming *very* concerned about emergency response time, a thing she would never do if this were just normal bumper-to-bumper traffic on a street with no bike lane.

I keep thinking about this bit from the Auditor General's report on Ontario's GHG emissions: auditor.on.ca/en/content/s...

New from me: Board upholds firing of ex-Edmonton police officer who sold steroids

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

“But Ontario would need to stop listening to people who see energy as one front in the culture war, not to mention Enbridge’s well-compensated lobbyists, and actually press forward the electrotech revolution here in Ontario,” writes @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social www.tvo.org/article/anal... #onpoli

Hahahahahahaha

*gasp*

The Nova Scotia case is trickier than it might otherwise seem as the smaller provinces have historically balked at building nuclear at its largest (most economical) scale. The NS grid doesn't really have room for, eg, a 4x1GW station like Pickering. Even AB didn't buy Bruce Power's pitch c. 2010.

We did not weather nigh two decades of “lazy millennials are destroying every single industry” to turn around and do this to Gen Z!!!

October baseball!
