Technical Collaborators: Canada's Tech-Facilitated Complicity with ICE and Beyond Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2026 Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Location: Zoom (Virtual) - Link to be shared prior to event Registration is required....

So glad sthg like this is finally happening, largely thx to @kristenthomasen.bsky.social. Been ~2.5 years now of layers of disheartenment & sustained moral injury (5 if count covid), and a public discussion focused specifically on Canadian complicity, from a tech /tech law angle, is long overdue.

Dirty Data An ERC investigation looking into the cost of data center infrastructures powering AI and the people paying the price.

For months, ~40 journos across Asia, LatAm & EU delved into the environmental impact of data centers w. the Environmental Reporting Collective.

I reported from Thailand, but as a whole, the project shows how unsustainable (and opaque) the AI data center boom's starting to look.

In Lebanon people are sleeping in cars or sitting in front of schools, which have opened their doors to displaced, because there is nowhere else to go.

I witnessed one woman begin screaming outside one school who said they had no more place. People sat along the walls or on motorised scooters.

The new fascism is just scams all the way down...

I hope I’ll have time to get into it more, but Hezbollah’s latest decision to join the war has condemned the party for good.

There is no going back now. They are already unpopular. No one asked for this.

I expect serious backlash within Lebanon, which can also get very dangerous.

What’s the Point of School When AI Can Do Your Homework? The creator of the AI agent “Einstein” wants to free humans from the burden of academic labor. Critics say that misses the point of education entirely.

With the ongoing strikes on #Iran by the US and Israel, and subsequent retelatory Iranian attacks in the region, we've started monitoring the acute and long-term environmental risks from the hundreds of targets using geo-location and #remotesensing

Trump and Netanyahu Are Doing the Free World a Favor.

From the writers of "It's Mild!" and "Do you Condemn Hamas???" comes a powerful new headline:

Canadians, bookmark this link and support independant!

Canada condemns Iran's retaliatory attacks Justin Li Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said in a statement that Canada "strongly condemns the attacks of the Iranian regime against our partners in the Middle East." Anand further urged Canadians in Iran to shelter in place and said Ottawa will "provide all possible support to Canadians throughout the region." Canada currently has no diplomatic relations with Iran, nor does it have an embassy there.

The United States and Israel have the right to bomb and murder whoever they please.

The countries they attack have no right to fight back.

This is the exact double standard on international law Mark Carney was praised for calling out at Davos, but which he continues to participate in.

School administrators from K to university insisting on the implementation of chatbots in classrooms have blood on their hands.

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the ‘most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

“It’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.”

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

This is significantly *worse* than the invasion of Iraq in 2003 (at least they tried to make their bullshit case to the international community back then).

And Carney explicitly supports it.
