My god Apple’s speech-to-text sucks. I just said, “she is far from young” and it transcribed it to, “she is far from Jung”. Is that really the most likely meaning of what I just said? Like I’m talking about psychoanalysis?

@caseynewton.bsky.social @kevinroose.com please don’t ever drop a Ross Douthat interview in the feed again. That interview with Thiel was so dumb - Greta Thunberg is the antichrist? I mean come on.

I’m very open to different perspectives (I’m a lib who likes Tyler Cowen) but this was painful!

Incorrect, it looks very much! So vibrant and appetizing.

And there’s more than 20 kids missing. It’s terrible.

Honestly the reactions in this thread are gross. If the left is going to cheer for people drowning, then we have as little moral right to claim power as the right.

Wow these are nuts. The resolution is a bit limited right? Are there good tools for upscaling?

A peacat? I love it.

Post an example or two? This stuff looks pretty amazing.

I can’t say I agree with you on everything, but this? This is ballsy and I love it 👏

Something I had not considered when I had kids was that eventually I would be a 46 year-old man living with an 18-year-old roommate. 🤔

Video: ‘Dear Girl, Get Out!’: A Young Palestinian Escapes an Israeli Strike Video of a child escaping a burning building after an Israeli airstrike garnered widespread attention online. We found her in a hospital in Gaza and pieced together what had happened.

The video of this little girl who struggles to escape the flames in the aftermath of an Israeli air strike that killed her parents and 18 other children is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. I’m so sad and appalled. This has to stop. www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

It would be a real bummer if, when you died, you were judged by god and it turned out god was a giant mosquito, and your life was evaluated based on how kind you were to mosquitoes.

I see what you mean - basically, consumer use as opposed to professional use. It’s true, I can’t think of much I use it for outside of work. I think the big question, tho, is to what extent it infiltrates other types of knowledge work.

Does it have any relevance to what you do for work? I have a very different take and I wonder if it’s because I write software and I use it all day, every day, and I estimate that what I have accomplished in the last 5 months would have taken me 2 years without it. So I’m curious.

So. Tired. 😩

To give credit where credit is due: I complained about #HamOnt 's proposed changes to make having a beer in the park or at the beach illegal, and I also called @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social's office to voice my concern - I got a call back, he voted against it, and the change did not pass. 👏

Run! Run! Run!

I don’t know if it’s the grossest thing ever - I mean, worse things have happened - but it sure feels like it could be the grossest thing ever.

@cityofhamilton.bsky.social this policy stinks! How do we make sure it does not happen?

No tailgate parties on city property as Hamilton tightens drinking rules The city has tightened drinking rules to counter Ontario’s move toward more lax legislation around alcohol.

This is so dumb: “ #hamont will have no tailgate parties on city property, no drinking in parks and no alcohol served during events at municipal service centres — including city hall...” Having a beer in a park is one of the great pleasures of life. Give us a break!

One of the best sci-fi books of all time. So much sci-fi is such trash, I can't stand the shallow characters and stilted dialogue. But this book - THIS book - is magnificent. It's insane that it's banned!

I kept expecting a knock on my door from a candidate or even a volunteer but when the knock finally came, it was Cogeco trying to sell me.

Oh man. That’s terrible. Hoping for a good outcome.

What happened?!? My wife is trapped in the jam and although she’s just a couple kms from home she said she expects it to take 2 hours to get here.

Prediction: only if Meta loses this antitrust trial will Trump ride to Zuckerberg’s rescue, because that will be when he has the greatest leverage. Then we’ll see Zuck, the supposed champion of liberal ideals like free speech, go from bending the knee to absolute obeisance.

Here’s a thought - maybe Canada should acquire, by peaceful means of course, an additional warm province. Perhaps Puerto Ricans are tired of lacking representation? We can offer peace, order and an absence of fascists.

View from the CN Tower yesterday, looking towards #hamont

Today I find myself fretting over the fate of Chinese entrepreneurs who are just like me in so many ways, with many of the same hopes, fears and dreams. There are so many tragedies unfolding right now that it can be easy to forget about these folks, but we shouldn't. 2/2

Growing up the son of an entrepreneur and becoming one myself might be why I'm so affected when I hear about hardships inflicted on small biz owners. What happened to Jewish entrepreneurs in the early years of Nazism has haunted me since I first read about it. 1/2

I hope everyone is feeling liberated now that their wallets are so much lighter!
