Canadian purity posting from centrist academics is wild. Your institutions are run by the same class of wannabe CEO, and are exactly as committed to student speech and academic freedom.
Oh, Quebec is creating ten chairs? In the midst of a hiring freeze? To grab some AI researchers? Let freedom ring

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

"Gamers don't deserve games or the work people put into them" remains one of my most steadfast beliefs.
One of the great failures of modern gaming is convincing players they can play for an unlimited amount of time and not get bored
Mate, you played the same game for SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING HOURS
Do literally anything for 75 hours and see how fun it stays...

I have seen a thousand takes about the mythical “die hard is a Christmas movie” chuds without ever actually encountering one. Are the people doing this discourse ok?

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

‘We tend to do things this way’ is not a constitution. The lords aren’t bound by the Salisbury convention if they can just choose to ignore it
Labour's argument that it cannot get its workers rights bill provisions regarding day 1 rights through the House of Lords doesn't add up. It's explicitly mentioned in its 2024 manifesto so the Lords should be bound by the Salisbury Convention.
