Awful results in Alberta, where voters had the literacy to vote overwhelmingly against separation but not to toss out the 5 racist immigration red herrings, which now get weaponized by provinces, police, & the feds to crack down even harder. www.jurist.org/commentary/2...

Vital thread on what’s really going on with the AI issue. Bottom line: some of them are panicking because they ain’t ready to pay the piper.

Kelly Clarkson has always been an asshole. Look up her purchase (out from under museum that had fundraised to be able to buy) of Jane Austen’s delicate silver ring. Wore it and damaged it after buying it and then when she wasn’t allowed to take it out of England made herself a victim. She sucks

If those of you in other provinces ever wonder how Alberta ended up in the situation it now faces, this post is authored by one of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's most trusted advisors.

This is infuriating and heartbreaking! Did they cut peoples’ meds to be able to afford their ridiculous pro separation ad campaign? I’m so GD sick of this government

My brilliant and beautiful standard poodles Tulip and George passed their Canine Good Neighbour test tonight! I’m so proud of them. George is the blue one, he was reactive to dogs and quite a handful and we have worked so hard to get where we are ♥️

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

No, AI isn’t gonna kill us all in the next 10 years. No, LLMs don’t keep going rogue. No, general AI superintelligence isn’t anywhere close and we’re not even on the path toward it with LLMs. All that shit is ultimately propaganda about how powerful and cool these systems supposedly are.

Amnesty also says they are being "held in an overcrowded police cell, in inhumane conditions, unable to speak to their lawyer." PLEASE use the sample letter in the Amnesty appeal TODAY. These letters matter to the EG government more than you might think. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."

BREAKING: Famed Italian opera singer Enrico Palazzo will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran's tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos when four of his supporting acts quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments. n.pr/4gZRq0A

Thank god, some sanity in this province.

Ed Sheeran you are a coward.

I see posts like this daily on the Claude Code and Anthropic subreddits. It’s weird to hear all this talk of how Anthropic’s powerful AI will destroy humanity when the people who use it daily are like “This thing sucks now.”

Fuck this wooden-dummy-doll -cast-off from “The Boy” movie. “Surrender to R&ssia so this was can be over and can get credit for a peace deal.” He should be kicked in the ass and sent packing!

This is not what slop refers to. I'm not being purely academic about this. The conflation does matter. Because this is a type of conglation that people do to make any reasonable critique of "A.I." seem overwrought. "Oh they said the same thing about the internet!" And it is not true.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

Macklemore has been on the right side of this issue for years. If Ed Sheeran drops him this mediocre-pop-loving-middle-aged white lady will be done with his ginger ass!

Literary fiction is coming. It is going to revolutionize the economy. We know that China has already got a start on literary fiction. We can’t afford to be left out of the literary fiction economy. Think of your kids. They might already be engaging with literary fiction.

Like... not to ruin anyone's fun, but fuck, y'all, what if that was your loved one who was murdered and folks were downloading a podcast about it to consume as entertainment? It's just weird.

Calloway Golf made $2.06 BILLION in 2025. They donated $1 million to an anti DV charity to buy off their shameful behavior after cosigning that violent misogynistic golf ad. That’s 0.048% of net revenue. A rounding error. Tell me what’s changed.
