It’s a unique way to protest Ontario’s Bill 5 and Ottawa’s Bill C-5 and it’s already underway on the Attawapiskat River in northern Ontario. A family of four has launched a 400-kilometre boat journey to voice their concerns.

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.

Makes racist comment about First Nations. Punches down on poor people. Says no one cares about his Greenbelt corruption. Pushes through a terrible bill in the night. Uses fear to get elected. Takes power from cities. Ford is Canada’s Trump. Disgusting. #Onpoli #Ontario

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

That MIT study should be the death knell of every "pivot to AI" strategy in education. That MIT study should land immediately on the desk of every administrator that imposed AI upon their institution. Yes, I am talking about my employer, the California State University system.

I am Mona Hijazi. For over a year and a half, I’ve said it again and again: I am Mona, from Gaza. A mother of 3. Dozens have messaged me, to “check if I’m real.” To “make sure I’m not lying.” Enough. I’m tired. Tired of justifying my pain. Tired of being doubted, questioned, humiliated. ↘️↘️↘️↘️

Carney's going to tell Canada that a new deal with the US is coming in July. That deal has already been negotiated. Ford spent all winter, including the entire provincial election campaign, in Washington selling it. Now that Bill 5 has passed, all systems go. www.corruptario.ca/fords-plan-t...

Has anyone written about the intersection between Bill C-2 and Bill C-5? They are directly related but I haven't really seen anyone analyze that. Bill C-2 creates extra surveillance powers to further criminalize Indigenous people (and allies) resisting the "national interest" projects C-5 enables.

One of the worst things about poverty is how hard it is to get food. I spent years getting over my disordered eating, years getting over the years I starved myself. It was a lot of work, getting to a point where I was ok with myself and food. Having long stretches w/o enough food fucks it all up.

"Even worse, the use of G* as a code made it “virtually impossible” to find records because the use of the asterisk returns any word starting with G, resulting in a deluge of records “wholly impossible to sort through,” Kosseim noted.
