I was considering re-upping my subscription to The Star. But this cowardice has convinced me not to. They clearly want residents to vote for Olivia Chow, but are too chickenshit to act against Brad Bradford. Shades of Bezos and the WP. Shame shame.

I do hope plans are afoot for the next Democratic administration to prosecute Musk for his many crime-like actions.

It's their final play to get ground floor investors an exit ramp. Two paths lie before us: (1) an enormous bubble pop, leading to great global suffering; or (2) a gradual retasking of AI as a utility for some sectors, but not for all, intended to run at a loss.

There was a time when I thought Yglesias might be a clever dude worth listening to. But (deliberately?) naive takes like this disabused me of that notion. Some nations' elections have a direct impact on our lives, even if we don't live in those nations. Most awake people understand that to be true.

I watched this film in the 70s when I was a kid. And this fact was totally lost on me.

Someone emailed me today to complain about a dirty joke I made on Xitter 2 years ago. I should have just sent her this.

He's just yoking the algorithm for engagements.

Lying in bed, doomscrolling, when my spouse told me to put the phone down and look straight ahead.

And then there were two. Kirk and Sulu, captains both.

I just learned about Logivote, an AI powered service that posts fake comments on political candidates' pages, making it look like they have more support than they actually do. I strongly suspect some in the Toronto mayoral race of using it.

Hey Toronto, here's your chance to send the right wing grifters packing. Vote Chow.

Wow. Lula wins in Brazil. Wow.

My latest video in my "Return to Reading" series is about an oft-forgotten sci-fi masterpiece, "This Immortal" youtube.com/watch?v=MexZTZTvcb0&feature=youtu.be

Holding my breath to see if Toronto makes a similar monumental mistake tomorrow.

BC reminds us that in a democracy, voters have no one to blame but themselves.

One of the greatest mainstream song titles of the past 20 years. "Bring Me The Disco King."

Does anyone still use a breadbox?

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

Has anyone ever kept gloves in the glove compartment?

Objective evidence would suggest that almost everything is better. It's just the rapid decline of last few years that have everyone concerned. That and impending apocalypse from various fronts.

This is what Musk and his Roman salutes have achieved. This is the USA, something unimaginable in this country.

Geez, my prime was closer to the horse and buggy era than to the AI era.

This is the Toronto I grew up in, where weird shit happened everyday.

You know how you look at yourself in the mirror and go, "Man, I am NOT looking good." Then you tell yourself you're being stupid and unnecessarily hard on yourself. Then someone takes your photo and you go, "Auugh! It's true! It's true! I'm a gargoyle!" Anyway, I did a thing yesterday.
