Your kid is lucky to have great, accepting parents. Love this story ❤️

Every day I draw closer to actually planning what was initially a joke of an idea — a private conference where people who feel absolutely insane in our regular life for not believing robots will save us from our ogliarchs can just get together and latent to be normal for 36 hours. Over drinks.

Threatening Obergefell is when comfortable "non-political" white "LGB-without-the-T" folks realize community and solidarity are important (for them).

Without a functional IRS & SEC, businesses don't need a CPA, they need connections & a bagman for bribes.

Fascism will render accountants obsolete long before AI can #taxtwitter

Just a reminder to #Guelph, Marjorie Taylor Greene accurately named the genocide in Gaza before this dingdong did.

If MTG beat you to the punch in accurately identifying that the USA is complicit in genocide, wtf is wrong with you?

Just a reminder that I received more harassment from white men on #taxtwitter by speaking up for Palestine than I have for anything else. While the white women of #taxtwitter did their part to uphold white supremacy & patriarchy by telling me to be nicer & shut up.

Now you're all silent. Complicit.

If women tend to leave the partnership track when they have kids, that's the problem.

If your bookkeeping and admin teams are almost exclusively staffed by women and managed by men, that's the problem.

If your org chart is a pyramid that starts out pretty diverse at the individual contributor level, then becomes increasingly white and male as you go up the pyramid, that's the problem.

Screenshot of a threads post: We need to be clear that what we have today is the result of men being in charge forever. This is the BEST they have. If they had better, we'd be in a better place. Men do not consider community. They do not consider how to impact the greater good. They do not help people or see people who aren't like them as equal. Remember this is the BEST THEY HAVE. Abuse, greed, hubris, no empathy or compassion. Don't ask why you're lonely, men. When you only work for yourself, you are left with only you.

And #taxtwitter is still mystified why young people aren't becoming accountants.

You're not "brainstorming" with AI. A program designed to mimic human language sorted other's stolen ideas & presented them to you in a style that sounds like yours, sorted by how frequently the stolen ideas appear in the database. You're talking to yourself & reinforcing your own biases. #taxsky

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

"I need ChatGPT to brainstorm" dear human person the whole point of brainstorming is to find new ways or angles when approaching a problem, the "let's regurgitate the complete stolen corpus of human achievement"-machine doesn't help you brainstorm - it stops you from brainstorming.

Not nearly enough, but a start. Meanwhile, the USA is threatening Canada's economic sovereignty so they can continue enabling genocide in Gaza.

It’s nice to know exactly where the empty houses are when all levels of government are dismissing the severity of the housing crisis (& our council fails to introduce vacant home taxes/renoviction bylaws) 🔑 #guelph #onpoli #canada #housing

Whenever these LLM guys say they think AGI/artificial superintelligence is in the works it's like hearing someone say that their next toaster is going to break the land speed record

Truth tellers: Gideon Levy and @haaretzcom.bsky.social
We need to call out the genocide deniers. They are making our nations complicit in the mass killing of a people.

So when can we start talking about the "vibe financials" of AI companies?

Since you all love vibing so much... explain how you vibed a bubble larger than 2008, AI trash people

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

Accountants using AI tools to replace professional administrative staff aren't very different from small business owners trying to use AI to do their accounting & taxes, & the results are similar quality #taxsky

"Total income remained at $0 from January to June" Fantastic insights 🙄I look forward to clients calling in a panic about something ridiculous from these reports. You haven't answered my emails or reconnected the bank feed for 6 weeks, but you think QBO is somehow forecasting your cash flow?

2026 World Cup: FIFA considers moving games from USA to Canada amid immigration policies The global football governing body, FIFA, is reportedly weighing the possibility of relocating some of the 2026 World Cup matches from the United States to Canada.

What? No one wants to play in a country committing human rights violations every single day?

The world is watching the death march of Gaza.
Canada, like the rest of the west is silent.
Gaza is where western rhetoric about international law, the rules based order and duty to protect went to die.
But the international criminal court is documenting the crimes and the criminals.

If the only people who can safely volunteer to attend a conference in the USA are your cishet white employees, should anyone be going to that conference? Please quote from your firm's mission and value statements in your answer #taxtwitter #elbowsup

"So you're going to hire an illustrator or graphic designer?"
"No, why?"
