I did this interview on my life and research, it is actually just sneaky socialist messaging about how we need community to survive, but I'm hoping postmedia will spread it around anyway www.healthing.ca/diabetes/lea...

“being on the edge of the time zone where sunrise is earlier was equivalent to changing class size from 40 students to 20 students. When you have fewer students per teacher, you get better academic outcomes, and that was the effect of this time zone position.” Gift article

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

I think revenge is likely more important to a lot of people than money and this is why some people in power right now are scared

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Thanks a lot Eby you absolute tool, now BC is going to have a bunch of shitty policies that will hurt vulnerable people and data centers that run on grinding up sea otters or some shit

I'd vote for people who will put AI company c-suites in jail for this kind of stuff

Far right protesters can walk into libraries to threaten people with a police escort and block roads asking brown skinned people for ID while the Gardai look on. The same Gardai will happily put a dozen leftie students in A+E for a week during an eviction protest. I hope this helps your analysis

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

Type 1 diabetes, when I was diagnosed I used to have to check my finger tip for blood sugar and use a combination of insulins injected by syringe, now I have a closed loop pump system that gets continuous glucose information from my implanted monitor and it can do automated insulin delivery

I touched a screaming hot pan with my full open uncovered hand. It nearly cost me my hand

"Washington claims Cuba poses a national security threat to the United States." Why does media keep repeating this? The US only said this obvious, absurd lie, after smugly declaring the real reason: they want to conquer Cuba and exploit it again. There is no good reason to help the lie!

Sad to see this fail, but for me this is the best place to start with in terms of nationalizing a grocery chain and then helping each remote community take over the stores www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

I’m stoked this is now public — my first book comes out Feb. 16 with Doubleday Canada! Expanded from a @theglobeandmail.com feature I did last year, it follows one thread through a world of people fighting to save life in Ukraine — all life, and any life. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/829172...

Avi Lewis: "The right has not been afraid of rage. And what they've done is redirected it to immigrants, to trans kids, to people living on the street. Instead of directing that rage upward to the people who are amassing vast fortunes on our economic misery."

Fuck special AI grant competitions, all my homies hate research funding that is restricted to AI related projects

NEW: A UN report found Israel is committing "mediacide." A fundamental aspect? Western news helped. "Canadian news media has not only helped Israel commit mediacide and covered for their genocide of Palestinians, they refuse to report that their role in doing so has been established by the UN."

Can't even innovate new scams anymore...

AI firms want you to believe their fraud bot is alive so they won’t be held responsible for the fraud bot’s crimes. But there is no gray area here, they hold the on/off switches in their very human, very prosecutable hands.

If this actually happens, which I hope it won't, only acceptable outcome is full Jurassic park, I want these dogs freeing themselves and taking over the island, with the investors trapped on the menu

All this talk of protecting children and teens and it turns out that the middle-aged and older are the most easily preyed upon 🙄

This is very, very bad: “Information from more than 1.5 million other tips submitted to Canadian Crime Stoppers programs over the last 25 years — was exposed in a massive data breach, an exclusive CBC investigation has found”

We truly are in the worst timeline and anyone who would think of using dogs in war should get immediately get punched in the face. Dogs are truly too good for us humans.
