We are still looking for 'informal tax helpers' to participate in our research study. Do you know someone in Canada who does taxes for their friends and family members? We'd love to interview them for 30 minutes and give them $15 Cdn in compensation.

Expect "election integrity" reform ahead of the 2026 elections and ramping up of manufactured "threats" by Trump and Republicans.
If you think they won't pull off "martial law" as a way of delaying and punting the election, well, you aren't paying attention, friends.

There are London landmarks, tardis portals, boats that attendees can use to scoot around on the Thames river, and conference rooms named after London tube stations. Help from Cesar Torres on London landmarks and Rocio Von Jungenfeld on the interactive gallery space that looks like Kew Gardens.

ACM Creativity & Cognition is happening online next week in Gather. I am the virtual platform chair and I have spent WAY too many hours building a conference space that evokes London, as the 2026 conference will be in person in London.

This is a research poster with a logo for the University of Manitoba and the HCILab at the top. The title of the poster says: "Do you do taxes for friends and family members? We'd like to talk to you!" There is a QR code that when scanned links to the following URL: https://celinelatulipe.net/cra-older-adults-interview-study/
Under that is text that says: "We are looking for people to participate in an interview study about how informal tax helpers (people who do taxes for friends and family) use technology and online CRA services. Looking for adults (18+) who: Have done taxes for at least 2 different family members or friends in the last 5 years. We are ideally interested in talking to people who have done taxes for older adult (age 65+) friends and family members, but this is not a strict requirement. Participation involves: a single interview that lasts 30 minutes, in person, over the phone, or online via Zoom. Compensation: Receive $15 (CAD) as a thank-you for your time via e-transfer or Tim Hortons gift card. If interested, please contact: Luke Wiebe, Wiebel19@myumanitoba.ca, 431-554-8098 or Principal Investigator Dr. Celine Latulipe celine.latulipe@umanitoba.ca. This research has been approved by the Research Ethics Board at the University of Manitoba, Fort Garry campus.

Dan Bongino is in a place to turn wild notions from the right-wing internet into pretexts for federal investigations.
Great (scary) NYT editorial. I was particularly struck by this quote: "People whoβve spent their lives working within a system of laws and civic institutions may be particularly unsuited to respond to that systemβs failure." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/o...
