Folks, I hate to add to the stack, but... I need help

Bailey, my pitbull-corgi, may have cancer. An emergency late-night visit just led to this horrible discovery.

Bailey is my whole world and I failed to plan. I am sorry. Any help you can offer at this link is welcome.

i honestly didn't think it was possible for me to be harsher in my judgement of chatgpt users before today, but here we are

if you still use this thieving, now murdering product to make silly little jokes or to write your emails or do your homework, you are complicit

these are not the actions befitting of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Letter of the day: Let's clear the air on respiratory infections "Handwashing helps prevent gastrointestinal infections but will not protect your child and you from leaving the emergency department with influenza or COVID."

Great letter from Dr. Filiatrault on clean air and need for respiratory protection in hospitals.

Those leaders imagine themselves immune from consequence by wealth, power and force, but if they ruin our world, they’re gonna get eaten by desperate people, maybe literally. The world beyond 2C may not be survivable. We should be doing everything we can to convince policy leaders not to cross it.

If I, one person, signed a pledge to do horrible violence to business and political leaders if they take us to 2C and beyond, it means nothing (except maybe jail). What if a hundred thousand of us signed it? A million? Ten million?

How long are we gonna let people ruin our biosphere without even thinking of the consequences?

And yet there will be 0 outcry from folks who otherwise complain loudly about the much lower increases municipal portion of property tax. In Calgary the provincial share is about 40%. The AB advantage is now about being nickel and dimed for everything in return for a Potemkin village

The more we see of the Carney government, the more I’m convinced that they may understand the problem, but have misidentified the solution. Military spending, slashing public service, allowing the provinces to run roughshod on health care, trans rights & the environment?

Every New York Times column & Atlantic thinkpiece, every Guardian broadside led us here. Jesse Singal and Ben Ryan and all the others "just asking questions" led us here.

Every bit of coverage that's treated us as suspicious outsiders and punching bags helped speed this day.

You are responsible.

Carney Allowed Gas-powered AI Data Centres After Lobbying From Alberta Energy Company The Alberta gas giant Capital Power lobbied the government 37 times in the lead-up to an accord suspending clean energy regulations, federal records show.

“The Alberta electricity company Capital Power, which is developing a large new AI data centre in the province powered by natural gas, lobbied the federal Mark Carney government dozens of times last year to eliminate clean energy regulations.”

“These regulations were subsequently dropped.”

this is the stuff they want to use AI for. not to make our lives easier, but to punish labor and the working class

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back.

It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!

Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.

That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Oh no, if only we had decades of popular culture suggesting that hooking AI up to our national defense networks might be a thing we don’t want to risk.

One hundred accounts are behind the majority of conspiracy theory content in Canada Researchers analyzed more than 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada and found that 87 per cent of conspiratorial claims come from influencers, with just 100 users responsible for near...

The Media Ecosystem Observatory has found that just 100 accounts in Canada are responsible for 68% of posts promoting conspiracy theories. But they are having an outsized impact on local governments.

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

Cheez whiz. It was one of the few things I’d eat as a kid. It adds more cheesy flavour to Mac and cheese. I reliable ate cheez whiz sandwiches until grade 4 when an older kid made fun of it and I never ate one again. I still occasionally eat it with saltines and it’s still good.

Congratulations everyone

I hate that this is accurate. I want to stay up late and make more time for art. I want to value myself by its production rather than getting eight hours. I can't. My skill and productivity drops when I don't take care of myself. I write when I'm happy (but also writing makes me happy).

I maintain that this much money is corrosive to the soul. Elon can't be happy; none of the billionaires can. Their overwhelming wealth and need to maintain and grow it and gain power and influence has corrupted their ability to be happy.

I think a lot of people don't really want to consider how much of pro hockey is pro Trump.

It's not just Gretzky.
