Velvet Prison Warden

I love cast iron Le Creusets. I also like their stainless line but these days Made In is also good for stainless.

The Daily Hive boldly has come out against waterfront schools.

So today OpenAI discontinued ChatGPT 4o, the model known for being weirdly affirming and telling people that they’re religious figures and to kill and what not. This has greatly upset the community who has used 4o’s affirming nature to do AI romances, who are now mourning the death of their partners

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

You are forgetting trains have MOAR wheels.

Its very clear that "first nations are going to take your home" has replaced "the woke agenda is going to turn your kids trans" as the new alt-right boogieman. They want to win elections by feeding people's fear and ignorance of non-issues because in reality they offer nothing else to most voters.

I hate that "Epstein Scandal" is trending. "Scandal" is when the president gets a BJ in the oval office. The Epstein story is a criminal conspiracy involving the systemic victimization of children and young women. Calling it a scandal cheapens the gravity of the harm.

But, uh, also maybe practice holding your breath.

That colour looks soo good on you.

‘People keep reinventing the same damn movie’: cinematographer Roger Deakins on 50 years behind the camera and his fears for film’s future This master craftsman’s work has lit up everything from Bond to Blade Runner 2049. But as he publishes his memoir, why does he believe the artform he made his name in is in such decline?

I could read long profiles of cinematographers all day.

Happy birthday!

Colloquially you are being bull-headed.

new york magazine has a very nasty article out about my beautiful golden throne, which they say is the only thing keeping me alive. when I'm sitting on my big beautiful throne I am NOT ASLEEP!! I am directing the beacon of the astronomican, something sleepy joe did very badly may I add

Quite proud of UBC staff, students, and faculty who said no to residential school deniers today.

Fry is good on most things but bad on housing which is probably the biggest issue a municipal politican has to deal with. Hard no as far as I'm concerned. OneCity have two decent mayoral nominees if you want better on housing.

Housing is the most important issue for city government and if you’re being bad or underdeveloped ideas to the table you are a bad candidate for mayor

Just saw two people use "cache" when they clearly meant "cachet". Might have to go touch some grass.

It would be for me but you know best.

Anthropic: Best for coding applications

Gemini: Best for summarizing meetings and taking notes

Grok: Best for harassing women and sexualizing children

ChatGPT: Best for assisted suicide

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.

“I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.”

A profile in absolute courage.
