I love hearing from fellow academics that students using generative AI for research is good actually.

I’m sure a few more tens of billions in VC funding will fix it.

crypto's claim to be all about financial freedom is consistently undercut by the fact that it is populated almost entirely by sociopathic scam artists

AI is confidence destroying, skill destroying, creativity destroying, souls destroying.

Sebastian sounds like freak. I don’t remember shopping for bras with my mom being much different than shopping for furniture with her. It was just a regular errand.

Yeah, I unfortunately think many folks who own large and energetic dogs don’t think any responsibility towards how their dog interacts with others.

Both times I was bit to bleeding by a pit bull, their owners insisted their dog was the sweetest, most gentle creature on earth.

I don’t find it has a smell. I’d say I’m probably medium sensitive for a sensitive person?
I don’t have MCAS but certain smells trigger symptom flares. I like to thrift so often bring home clothes that smell musty or of cigarette.

Canada needs a People’s Power Grid, not more pipelines As the climate emergency worsens, the cost of living crisis spirals out of control, and U.S. aggression escalates, Canadians need a unifying project that tackles the overlapping crises we’re facing.

A smart idea.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Excited!

Or peri-menopause.

It’s never too late to live your dreams.

Uhhh they are claiming Ukraine are committing a genocide against Russia.

Really? I find standing in just socks to be unbearably painful. My leg and back pain is so bad that even to go from my bed to the bathroom, I throw on my crocs.
Granted I do have chronic pain, but I didn’t know that was comfortable for anyone.

I agree with that. Though I also have house sneakers that I do that with.

I always wonder how the same people would react if they went out to dinner and their server wasn’t wearing shoes. Or if *they* were expected to take off their shoes and put on some random slippers when entering a business.

Do these people think Law and Order is a documentary? Do they think the actors live on the sets?

Every once in a while, there is discourse about shoes worn indoors on tv. ‘Eww! Outdoor shoes inside! Yuck!’

They are on a soundstage.

Are you seriously expecting actors to pull full work days in their stocking feet? Are *you* doing your job in your fucking socks?

Also, indoor shoes exist.

Oh yes, the evergreen option three!!

So Trump is angry about the decline in Canadian tourists and now they want to do this?

The ever fun chronic illness question — is this a flare or an acute illness? #NEISVoid

Amazing.

I thought one of the main selling points of AI was lack of barrier for entry? It’s crappy but it’s easy, fast, and free.

Background photo of the ICJ building The Hague, Netherlands. Quote reads “This legal finding creates stark choices. For the Canadian government, it means eliminating supports for the oil and gas industry now, or risking having to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in compensation to developing countries later. For Canadian oil and gas companies, it means that a wave of climate-damage cases could soon be headed their way, in domestic courts in Canada and around the world." Quote attributed to “Michael Byers, Opinion piece, The Globe and Mail”.

Your move, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

UBI would obviously help here. I wouldn’t be able keep a job if I rested whenever I felt sick. I hate having to grit my teeth and do it when I feel like I’m falling apart.

Cats rule.

Outside shoes don’t exist on a soundstage where there is no outside.

I hated school so much, I was clearly undiagnosed ADHD but instead of getting any support I was constantly accused of getting bad grades out of spite. Apparently, being a reader mean I was supposed to excel at all my classes and do homework and my failure to do either meant I was a bad kid.
