I am waiting for them to turn that around.

"Capitalism has produced endless bullshit white-collar jobs, which are designed to make you identify with the sensibilities of managers.

If you’re an executive you need to have an assistant or else you’re not important." . - David Graeber

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Or Alberta Party (perhaps soon to be Progressive Conservatives). I predict that the NDP will win in the cities but the Alberta Party will take a lot of the rural constituencies. Rural people are still not over the NDP's behaviour from last time.

Alberta is flirting with separatism. But documents show the province isn’t planning for it Internal records suggest province hasn’t researched economic impacts of Alberta exiting confederation

They aren't planning for it because they know the economic costs would be eye-wateringly high -- and don't want voters to know about it yet.

The Real Demon Inside ChatGPT AI chatbots strip language of its historical and cultural context. Sometimes what looks like a satanic bloodletting ritual may actually be lifted from Warhammer 40,000.

ChatGPT and similar programs weren’t just trained on the internet—they were trained on specific pieces of information presented in specific contexts.

The problem arises from preconceptions about what a woman looks like. I saw the photo and there is no way I would presume that they are a man.

Strap in. I predict worse.
