We're just going to do anything at all to keep from admitting that repeated COVID infections are causing ever-worsening brain damage in the population and maybe doing something to stop that, aren't we. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Well this doesn't bode well for this government taking climate change seriously. 😐 www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

It's Monday tomorrow and it's been another cold, wet weekend. A new book will definitely make you feel better and you should totally try mine. 😜📚💙 #ReaderSky #BuyCanadian shop.nptwrites.com/b/A5CaE

It is June 1st in #Ottawa, and I needed a toque and scarf for my walk earlier this morning. SIGH. Gardening season is never going to get started this year. 😑🌱

Yes, it's long. Yes, it's complex. Yes, it's detailed. And yes, it will make you sad unto nihilistic depression. But it's also necessary to read because AI is going to fuck the planet beyond expression. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

Some of the worst people on the planet are in charge of this tech, and they are telling you it should be your friend, coach, therapist, and tutor.

Wow. Province-wide states of emergency in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It isn't even June yet. The really hot part of the year is still weeks away. :(

“This is not education reform; it’s authoritarianism cloaked in the language of accountability, designed to deflect blame, suppress dissenting voices, and tighten political control over a public education system this government has failed to adequately fund." www.etfo.ca/news-publica...

Wonders whether anyone being prosecuted for theft has yet tried using the "if I had to ask for permission or pay for the items my enterprise would never be profitable" (citing appropriate precedent, of course.)

Sigh. I guess I can expect yellow skies & unbreathable air again this summer. But lets keep extracting & burning ever-increasing amounts of oil & gas so people can generate endless meme pics for their social media accounts & not write their own books. We'll be left behind if we don't, after all.

Going to start blocking people who post about how stupid AI is but keep posting screenshots of stuff they asked chatGPT to do to prove how stupid it is. Like, please just STOP USING THE PLANET-KILLING PLAGIARISM MACHINES. We know they're ridiculous! You don't have to burn down a forest to prove it!

At first I thought this was BC repealing mandatory childhood immunization, but no... apparently they never had them in the first place and it is 2025 how is that even a thing? If you want to live in a society there are minimum standards that you agree to to keep EVERYONE safe.

Journalists - there's a name for NB.1.8.1, please use it! Obfuscation is central to the effort to bury the massive ongoing toll of the pandemic. The empire-builders whose lethal negligence pushed science aside and let COVID rip want you to believe the story is too complex to investigate. It's not.

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure he's taking all the data he stole while doing it with him. And there are probably lots of back doors installed into all those systems now, so he can pick up anything he missed at a later date.

Hell. We live in hell. And this is just one of the many reasons I will fight to the death to keep this kind of shit out of my home. Stop normalizing surveillance society. There is ZERO reason why you should have to have an account for your damned toothbrush. Or your washing machine, fridge, etc.

Good. This bill is a disaster and should never have even gotten to the stage it's at. It's bad for everyone except Ford donors who will profit off it. How the hell are they even allowed to bring forth a bill that would give them the power to ignore existing laws? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

right wing political success => right wing policy changes => faster climate change, +natural disasters, global public health crises, unrelieved famine => desperate migration => right wing political success... The right has a plan to profit politically from this. Does anyone else?

Every bloody government on the planet is out of its ever-loving mind, it seems. I'm old enough to have been put on a priority list for a swine flu vaccine while pregnant, back in the day... when we still believed in science and protecting people. 😑

Living in a world where I have to weasel-word a website to remove any DEI language so the client doesn't fall afoul of American idiocy, but hopefully the people who need to know will still understand what they mean. 🙃

As an author whose books are in this stolen data set, I would accept this amount as compensation for the theft of each of my copyrighted works, plus a guarantee that no future works would be similarly stolen. 😑

Doug Ford's incompetent Ontario govt awarded a 95-year lease (and upfront costs) to a company that fooled them by using a similar name/logo of another company. Incredible.
