Now it's a group the franchise seems to hate, and it's doing everything it can to drive them away. To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star..."; right side is titled "Walk Away From Media That No Longer Serves You" by Robert Scucci, published 26 minutes ago, with image of a woman turning her face and holding a hand to a bright screen, with excerpt: "There's nothing more frustrating than watching someone refuse to walk away from media that no longer serves them.

Yeah agreed. IMO it's tech media like Ars Technica, 404 Media or The Reg who have journalists who actually understand AI. Relatedly: the Poynter Institute for Media Studies just released training for journalists that covers a lot of ground reasonably accurately www.poynter.org/mediawise/pr...

I mean the clues were there when he bulldozed the Ontario Science Centre to rent the land out to a private spa

Doug Ford’s office has already received over ten thousand emails in the last 24 hours, saying no Bill 60, which would enable landlords to renegotiate leases every year, and refuse to renew without cause.

Acorn Ontario is calling this proposal “Ford’s most dangerous act” and they’re right #onpoli

Screenshot of a CBC News headline: When will Trump's tariff increase hit Canada? Carney doesn't know. Trump doesn't even know.

CBC is apparently out of fucks to give writing headlines this morning.

"_Canada_ burned the bridges"?

Voters trust Republicans more on most of the issues they see as top priorities (chart)

Their same polling says voters trust R *more* on "The Economy", "Inflation," and "Government Spending", and see R as equal to D in "Political Division". If that isn't testament to how messaging trumps reality, I don't know what is

Looked into it... I'm sorry to say this is data-backed and "medicare for all" polled badly

Congratulations! I am loving that this is a library picture book. Libraries are an amazing community and cultural resource, and such a wonderful place to bring small children for storytime, snack, and snuggling up with picture books. ❤️

This bullshit is going to set the planet on fire so there’s nowhere left to go on vacation.

They’re creating fake memories, like we’re a bunch of disposable replicants working in the mines until our batteries run out.

The gap between the dark and light blue lines is the gap between the value of pay + stock options (etc) that companies intended to pay CEOs, and what CEOS actually made from exercising their stock options. Not saying insider trading is happening, but when you see a gap like that, you gotta wonder.

Hey I'm in #scicomm, not a SFC user, and wanted to give you some friendly feedback. Including an image with your post gets atention, but the AI art doesn't add anything, and wastes the time of anyone trying to parse the equipment. Would have preferred a useful image like this one (yours):
