I forget the actual wording but there was a great tweet about how the Democrats are like a band that just spends all of every show telling the crowd to calm down.

Massive, meaningful changes in governance done as a result of a ctrl-f for the word "transition." No one will ever believe how stupid this shit was.

I had asked for $3 million for daytime drop-ins, understanding Toronto's homelessness crisis will be exacerbated by the closure of supervised consumption sites, and we got $810K. It's not everything, but it's substantial — and it includes additional funding to feed hungry people.

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

ChatGPT ad shows generative AI is totally washed. Impossible to tell what it was the first half until it started saying random prompts like "write me a business plan." Two years in and they don't have a better sales pitch than "summarise this article for me." Washed!

The response to fascism in the U.S. can't be "increase local consumerism" in Canada: it must be an anti-fascist response. Anything less will ultimately benefit the Canadian corporations (Loblaws) and politicians (Ford, Poilievre) that are moving Canada further away from a healthy democracy.

I get that everyone is rightfully mad at the US right now but this recent wave of Canadian nationalism is... troubling.

I feel like we should be able to acknowledge that America sucks without pretending that Canada, where no one can afford groceries and people are freezing to death in massive encampments in all our cities while people blame international students who work at Tim Hortons, is soooo great.

Weird fash nerds running around inside the federal government twiddling knobs and flipping switches and going "what does this one do?" Getting big blobs of jelly on everything. Somehow no one is telling them to fuck off. Cards on the table I don't really care for any of this!

I'm going to get a jump on this by sharing this gift link to my bit about what I saw at the Consumer Electronics Show, what I learned from the Tesla Hyperloop, and the dumb, dull, demeaning future big tech types want the rest of us to settle for: defector.com/the-future-i...

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex

There are some teens on this streetcar playing would you rather and the second option is always "or would you rather live in Calgary". So far no one has chosen Calgary.

Once again noting how annoying it is that adult converts to Catholicism are trying to destroy the church whenever it does something that's not extremely conservative. Just walk out! You can leave!

It's amazing that everyone I've talked to today about the HST freeze has been at best unimpressed with it and most often still overtly hostile towards the liberals. Another triumph for the Trudeau government!
