@steveboots.bsky.social Re faxing MPs to fight back against Bill C-2: as much as I hate to shill for companies, the HP Smart app faxes PDFs from a smartphone, more reliably than websites like FaxZero. I've used it on several occasions and can recommend it.

What the hell, Carney. People, call your MPs about this, or we're going to end up with American-style immigration law. #cdnpoli ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

I know my fellow Canadians and I get pretty worked up about the "51st state" rhetoric, but I'd like to invite the people of Washington DC to join us. If Trump wants a 51st state so badly, maybe he should ask people who would actually take him up on it.

"The first thing 9 out of 10 Canadians will do is say 'well, we're different than Americans', which is no way to talk about yourself, but that's our default." youtu.be/NAVf2QoaV9U

Why are people only worried about this when it goes before a judge?

Hundreds of acres in Michigan are covered in parallel rows of earth that are the remains of an ancient Native American agricultural system. The surprise find has archaeologists amazed.

What a crock from the EHRC. What are they trying to guarantee? Equal discrimination? UK trans folks, I feel for you. I wish your government would treat us like people. Failing that, I wish I could set up a haven for you here in Canada.

once again I must tap my own sign

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a historic moment. For the first time, "go back to Africa" was directed at a white person.

Emperor Palpatine was right: it's really fun sitting around in a robe, watching two dudes try to kill each other

the kids are alright... way to go justin! #cdnpoli #wildfires

Great article by Natasha Tiku on what happens when researchers actually try to train LLMs on non-copyrighted material. Unsurprisingly, the industry's position was "it's too hard/expensive/slow". Copyright laws exist for a reason, folks.

Now do autism.

Holy shit.

@lesterlee.bsky.social I remember you going in on FF Tactics back in the day.

This still cracks me up 🤣

I still don’t really want to go back to selling stuff if I can help it, but if people still want my art and I can harness its power to do some good, then I’m so game!!

Fantastic way of describing it.

I'm not worried about being replaced by AI, because I tell people what they don't want to hear.

Watching Baby Assassins for the first time. As an autistic person, Mahiro getting five minutes into a job interview, well-actuallying the interviewer, and ultimately going "I'm tired of this kind of conversation" is one of the most relatable pieces of media I've ever seen.

Everyone deserves a little treat sometimes, right? Right? futurism.com/therapy-chat...

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.
