I still recall the attempts to harm the quality of census data during earlier administrations. Don't like this.
Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

Yes! I am loving papercrafts like junk journaling, decorative planning, etc. these days. (I was DROWNING in academia.)
So many people I know have returned to paper/analog planners, that is, if they ever left. And it’s actually a super relaxing hobby & potential lowkey side hustle if you’re crafty!

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

I am waiting for one, literally ONE major company, to lean hard into AI counter programming with their products and marketing. It’s RIGHT THERE. It’s worth a FORTUNE. “Hate ‘AI’ in everything? We got you!” But they Will. Not. Do it.

All of which illustrates how infuriating it is when dipshits say that AI can 'help me to brainstorm ideas'. It can't do that. It can plaster a deepfake smile onto the corpse of zombie capitalism as it shambles towards the precipice of climate catastrophe, but it can't create meaningful literature.
