Every prisons researcher, ex-prisoner & CO is shaking their head. Even if the premise was sound (which it isn’t - tougher prisons don’t make communities safer. At all. That’s not how crime works. At all.), this is so insanely infeasible for tons of reasons. It’s all theatre.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

I'm a leftwing Canadian. I've never, in my life, been represented by a government at any level that comes close to sharing my political beliefs. And you don't see me whining about it... Ok, you do see me whining about it, constantly, but you don't see news orgs writing about me whining about it.

Apropos of nothing at all: a reminder that all concerns about ‘low birth rates’ are just racism. There are plenty of people, just fewer white ones. Say no to racism.

Dear social work students using AI to write your work: please stop. It's unethical & gross to try to pass off the word-salad produced by a machine as your self-reflection on your learning and practice. Plus, it's so bad - if I read that something "ignited my desire" one more time....

Concerns about “birth rates” are always concerns about whose birth is desirable and whose to be averted; “demographic concerns” are always concerns about what kind of people should be allowed to live in your sight

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

What a terrible way to cover plans for an illegal invasion and occupation of an ally without even pretense of a justification. Stop covering this like it’s normal.

This thing PP is trying out- “look, I do regular things like carpentry and making food, just like you”? It’s so deeply inauthentic. Like no adult who cooks regularly would ever do this…

If only there was a system for getting a higher-up judge to have like a second look, if someone thinks a a judge made an error in their decision.

What are you even doing my dude. You’re supposed to be the social democratic party, and that’s not this. smh

You know, with all this talk about Canadian sovereignty and disproportionate influence from the US and oligarchs, it really seems like when all three major federal parties are running a campaign on "we'll lower your taxes" maybe we've already lost.

Okay but the fact that the journalist was added isn't the story here - that's just embarrassing. The big deal is that they were using Signal (incorrectly, bc it's not secure) which they did SO THERE WOULD BE NO RECORD OF THEIR DECISIONS.

You use the officials USGovt secure channels to hide communications from bad actors. You use Signal to hide communications from the USGovt.

As I explain here, security isn't even the biggest part of the Signal Scandal. This is to keep actions secret from the US government. It's how to do crimes, bribes and more. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...
