There is apparently going to be a Murderbot series with Alexander Skarsgard, which seems a bit off to me. I absolutely read the character as being essentially Gwendoline Christie.

New Girl is gaslighting me into thinking Zooey Deschanel is super hot. I mean, don't get me wrong, she's very pretty, but this show makes me want to be a Property Brother, which is just madness.

If you ever find yourself saying something like “so much for the tolerant left” unironically, I beg you, please learn literally any fact about leftist politics.

lol, I just crashed a Laurentian University seminar on generative AI. It was for faculty and staff, but the materials I'd been sent about it didn't specify that; I only found out during. I asked the presenter so many questions. :p

It would be nice change "a thing happened, and some ordinary people say it's bad, while some bad people say it's good, but who could possibly know one way or the other? our hands are tied."

My poem "Meditation on the 177 Environmental Activists Murdered in 2022" appears in this week's Bookworm newsletter from the Literary Review of Canada. Another poem, "Meditation on Northwestern Ontario," appears in the March issue of the physical magazine. reviewcanada.substack.com/p/bookworm-n...

Trying to understand America's current crisis without examining Tech Fascism (the "Dark Enlightenment," the "network state") is like analyzing 9/11 while ignoring Al Qaeda. This isn't random chaos – it is an orchestrated attack by a small, dangerous, and determined group.

how are you doing today? undulating with fearsomeness? schlorping a beautiful moist trail of merriment in your wake? still trying to claw your way up from the depths of the bog in which you spent last night submerged in swampy ecstasy?

Me trying to think of more creative ways to say I'm tired of the AI bullshit and I don't want to see any:

Today I described making ridiculing white supremacists and antisemites as "responsible fun." I stand by that characterization.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

A fun historical fact about the French Resistance during WWII is that none of those people were ever going to get a shot at Hitler. They were, however, in a position to do something about the people Hitler relied on to carry out his orders. This has been your random history fact of the day.

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

extremely funny seeing ai dipshits accuse deepseek of copyright infringement for "ripping off" chatgpt or whatever. not so fun when it's your shit getting took, huh? lol. rot in the grave you've dug and know no one will mourn you. lmao

To quote Adam Greenfield, when it comes to getting AI to write you emails or what you, I do not understand at all why anyone would take the position that "interpersonal exchanges are more appropriately mediated by algorithms than by one’s own competence," which is what that implies.

I haven't read Greener Pastures (yet), but The Inconsolables was excellent, so I am very much looking forward to this.

THis is so sad to see but not unexpected given how poorly the NDP has treated her.
