But it hasn’t always been as enforced. For things like meetings.

As someone starting a doctoral program, AI is another tool (just like a calculator, excel, and word).

Will I trust AI 100%? No

Will I use it to challenge my ideas and explore new ones? Yes

Will I accept AI output without making revisions? No

Will I be accountable for any AI used? Absolutely.

Opinion: Yes, Canadians – Albertans do want to stay in Canada

Don’t believe the separatist rhetoric of a few vocal and misguided pundits

This could be the best meme / message combination in the history of social media. Classic 1+1=3.

I'm going to hold the simple truths to remember what's real:
- Being trans isn't wrong it's just different from being cis
- Haters hate but I don't need to let that bleed into my heart
- Even though this all seems confusing it's actually not
- We can work together to win if we stay *principled*

Raise your voice. Every day.

The easiest way? Message your elected reps. I use @resist.bot it takes less than a minute.

Flood their inboxes. Make it impossible to ignore you. Demand accountability. Relentlessly.

Especially for those in red states.

I entered the US two decades ago on a NAFTA work permit, moved to an H-1B, and ultimately became a citizen. This change worries me.... it will drive top talent to other countries.

“Kenney said he also knows that separatism is, and always has been, the rallying cry for a tiny core of flighty, discontented Albertans.

"We're talking about at most a few thousand people"

How far off the rails are we now Kenney is a voice of reason?

How Consultants Project Expertise and Learn at the Same Time

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Two Democratic legislators were shot, along with their spouses.

Even their dog was shot.

One had to dive on top of their child to protect them.

Trump didn’t attend the funeral. There was no widespread condemnation of political violence.

The culture must change and gun control is long overdue

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 28d

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

And with that comes responsibility.

Toxic culture: leaders are to blame

High performing culture: leaders take credit.

Congrats on the curse being lifted. I went through this with the flames for years and years and years, before seeing them win again on home ice.
