iOS calendar entry page with suggestion: “Maybe: Lunch with (friend) (funeral home address) This Saturday from 2PM to 3PM Siri Found in Messages”

Today’s reason why automations can fuck right off: My friend lost her wonderful partner last week and texted me details for the memorial. Here’s what happened when I tried to put it in my calendar.

And no, the answer to this is NOT to make Siri better at reading our messages.

They want to replace women with AI The 5-year anniversary of MYAM

"But it matters that one of the first AI bots forced upon us as a new vision of the future is a woman. It matters that in the cultural imaginings of men, she’s a pliable virgin.

Society doesn’t want real human women."

I’d ask if the journalist pushed back but I’m afraid I already know the answer

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

I got to be a source for a 15-year-old journalist covering the science of studying and it was the sweetest media interview ever 😭😭

Catch the segment led by Jonnakae Hoskins -- definitely a talent to watch! 🧪

A reminder that, for all the unhinged attacks on it, the ICC is still a functional institution that is capable of holding world leaders accountable for atrocities they commit.

Give it time.

TIL the Jays have a Slovak pitcher?! And he looks like the most Slovakian Slovak who ever Slovaked.

Concordia University cancels downtown classes on Oct. 7 anniversary, citing safety concerns

This would be funny if not incredibly dangerous behaviour. It’s incumbent upon this government to be transparent about this government employee, the consequences for repeatedly breaking the law. If it were anyone else the premier would be using them as an example in one of his PR stunts

This excuse might have worked for 2016 but not for 2024. They knew and yet, they still voted for all of this.

Government to table new border bill amid privacy concerns over C-2: sources | CBC News The federal Liberals are set to introduce a new bill expected to mirror much of what's in their already tabled border legislation — but with some clauses that sparked concerns from opposition parties ...

Democracy is not perfect but at least Canada still has one.

Glad that the government took a second look at this one and props to all those, including @openmedia.org , who spoke up against C-2.

Some kids complain about school. But I know how it feels when it’s taken away Kaenat Ibrahimkhil wasn’t allowed to go to school in Afghanistan. Now in Canada, she’s grateful to have another chance at an education. #firstperson

“I felt like my future had been stolen.”
Kaenat was 12 when the Taliban banned girls in #Afghanistan from going to school. Now a Grade 11 student in Canada, she says she’ll never take education for granted. Here’s her story in her own words: www.cbc.ca/kidsnews/pos...

This is the most inane thing, but the fact the Jays bested the Yankees (and it wasn’t even close), and will not play again until after Carney leaves the White House, may actually be relevant to Canadian trade and defence policy for the next 48 hours.

Firmly on the bandwagon. Thanks @tanisfowler.bsky.social! 💙🩵❤️

As its mayor

Meanwhile, Enbridge’s CEO just called again (during a speech in Toronto) for industrial pricing to end, which is another reminder that the oil and gas industry is not serious about carbon capture, and Carney will need to play hardball if he is.

The US 🇺🇸 gov has moved from combatting, to now openly facilitating, transnational repression

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this
