As a Canadian, I watch the US and realize it could happen here. Don’t take democracy for granted.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limi...

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.”

You can’t trust chatbots.

Did you know? Halifax Transit will quickly become far less accessible if Halifax Council approves the reduction in snow clearing service for transit stops and sidewalks.

Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.

You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

U.S. Deports Nine Migrants in Secret, Ignoring Legal Protections

The govt continues to send detainees to nations it knows, or should know, will send them back to home countries where judges have found they'll face persecution, torture, or death. SCOTUS blessed these bank-shot crimes in a shadow docket order last June. ...

If you care at all about the future of Halifax, about transit or about equity, please read this!!

It’s heartening to know I will find a reason to travel AFTER my tournament years 😂

Happy Valentine's Day! May you all find someone who loves you as much as Pam Bondi loves prioritizing the Dow Jones and protecting pedophiles.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and other federal leaders visited Tumbler Ridge, B.C. on Friday to pay respect to the nine lives claimed in a mass shooting earlier this week. #TumblerRidge #cdnpoli

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

Little kid in a Tre Kronor jersey, gleefully stomping through the rain in the walk to Milano Santagiulia: "Hockey and puddles! This is the BEST DAY EVER!"

The grace and strength of these folks even as literally the worst thing possible happens is absolutely amazing 💔💜

I think the PM and the party leaders flying together to Tumbler Ridge is an important, vital gesture of unity and solidarity, but I think it can also speak to seriousness — to not accepting what happened on Tuesday and to realising it's something that demands a response.

Kiwi WATCHES dogs on tv. It’s quite funny. He watched all of Air Bud over Christmas.

They walk through my town yard ! My dogs usually sleep through their howls, though. They seem to accept my explanation that video/radio dogs are “just actors.”

The absolute stupidity of any such decision for any reason economic, accessibility or even urban design wise means every one of these decisions is specifically catered to appeal to politically connected landlord class assholes who are super happy about diminished worker solidarity and empowerment.

JUST IN: After Secretary Rubio declined a judge's suggestion to return illegally deported Any Lopez Belloza – a 20 year old Babson student who was sent to Honduras in defiance of a court order — Judge Stearns has orderd the admin to facilitate her return. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Meanwhile, over in the case of the Babson student deported from Logan at Thanksgiving, Judge Stearns orders DOJ to ask the State Dept. nicely to issue a student visa and expects an answer w/i 21 days, along with a hint of possible future contempt sanctions but maybe-not-really.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Remote work in other sectors has been a boost for rural NS for a decade or more. The provincial public service started to catch up thanks to COVID. Worked better than the Dexter government efforts to relocate ppl to Digby, Windsor etc. This is regressive.

Unless the jobs are remote !

Remote work is good for rural areas. Which I think is where his support is ? 🤔

Less pay, less equity.

The Houston government’s plan for
“Making It Happen”:

Why Graham Platner is a working-class impersonator And why the online left can’t see it.

The Nazi tattoo is merely a metaphor for a larger pattern of dishonesty. Platner is a white middle-class journalist's idea of an authentic all-American son of the working class. To actual sons of the working class, he's a fraud.
