People's unwillingness or inability to understand that professional educators do a much better job educating children than parents trying to do it is a key part of America's downfall. It's total malpractice in all but a handful of situations, hardly any of which apply to most home-school families.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
![[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihjvnz2ttxl7z4a2b3a4kylubobgvqxmjhwz6yuetuztzoc4g2s4y@jpeg)

This makes me think of how the Council of the Federation meets regularly in Canada. This is the leaders of the thirteen provinces and territories. And only four of these jurisdictions have more people than Toronto
Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.
The bus should have two senators

The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'

I'll stand with the PM when he shows actual backbone and not just rhetoric.
Canadians need to show some backbone and stand with our PM. Where is the reporting on the US withdrawing Section 899, which would have squarely hit the retirement investments of millions of Canadians?

Doug Ford suckered Ontario voters into believing he was the guy to stand up to Trump when all he really wants is to get closer to the fascist piece of shit.
Also, still official Ontario policy:
"Ontario’s Am-Can Growth Plan envisions a new American and Canadian century as we work together to build Fortress Am-Can, a renewed strategic alliance between the U.S. and Canada that’s a beacon of stability, security and long-term economic growth."

Backlash builds as Elon Musk endorses Germany’s far right
“Only the AfD can save Germany,” said the key Donald Trump ally.
