Not the same survey or identical question, but I have a feeling Canada is *even worse* on this.

and to clarify for this commenter in your chat - the elements from Freepik are just a few of the vector patterns in the backgrounds of some cards (mostly the Influencers). It's possible there's some AI in there, but most of this was done before GenAI so thoroughly overran the free image sites!

I miss writing and hosting bar trivia. I really need to find a new bar to replace the one that closed. Preferably also a 3 minute walk from my house like that one was.

fwiw Toronto City Council just did its (small) part by excluding Tesla from our ZEV taxi grant program. No attempt at a smokescreen reason or anything either - it was presented straight up as a "fuck Elon Musk" decision.

There's literally no evidence whatsoever that advertisers are increasing their spend on ExTwitter in response to a Trump win, and that's not remotely what the report in AdWeek says - and yet this idea is spreading like wildfire among both gloating Musk fans AND gloating Musk critics.

Karl this appears to be a totally false narrative being manufactured here. The report from Adweek is that these companies resumed spending (in teeny tiny amounts) way back in January, and the numbers here only go to September.
