"In Canada, it is unlawful for a business to close because its workers decide to unionize. While we are not saying that this is what happened here, we will be demanding information from Ubisoft about the reason for the sudden decision to close."

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

What's useful about MTG positioning herself as anti-Trump is that she's looking to shore up a position in the post-Trump American Right. Her moves, and Vances, and the internal-yet-public fight in the Heritage Foundation, all of this is Alexander's generals at his sick bed plotting successor states.

This is a good point from Michelle Goldberg. I’d add that in an atomized media landscape, where attention is both critical and dearly bought, there are few incentives for the type of cooler, consensus-based presentations when audiences were both large and stable. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/o...

Mayor Olivia Chow is introducing fare capping for TTC riders in her upcoming budget. Instead of having to decide whether it makes sense to buy a monthly pass in advance, rides will automatically be free after 47 trips starting next Sept.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

🚨 Bill 60 would BAN new bike lanes that take a lane from cars — province-wide. This is a direct attack on road safety, climate action, and livable cities. Raise your voice. Tell the Ford government: #SafeStreets aren’t optional.

I know AI is “just a tool” and any tool can be used for horrible things, but at least a hammer doesn’t tell you to end your own life
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

AI is the perfect tool for authoritarians—it drowns truth in irrelevance and erodes the public’s agency and ability to protest. Whether intentional or not, it is the final chapter in the subjugation of society. Let’s rewrite the story.
“Four decades of scholarship, from Langdon Winner’s The Whale & the Reactor…to David Golumbia’s Cyberlibertarianism: The Right-wing Politics of Digital Technology, have shown how powerful rhetoric is in paving the way for certain technological regimes to determine the shape of our lives.”
