If the bulk of students are cheating with ChatGPT, at a certain point, no school can just go back to bluebooks. No administrator in the country is going to fail everyone to make a point. Now, apply that same logic to society in general. That's the problem we're quickly walking towards.

Official Election Flash Survey - Conservative Party of Canada

This flash survey on the Conservative’s website is a great reminder of the fuckery we just avoided www.conservative.ca/cpc/flash-su...

This election is also a victory (of a kind) for 2SLGBTQAI+ and other marginalized groups. A CPC majority in government would have been a disaster.

There's lots of work to do, but with Carney as PM at least Canadians can build from the statuo quo instead of fighting for recognition.

Angers me to no end how each of the services I use to stay in touch with people like you have turned into nazi shit bars. I’m torn about Instagram. It’s the last service everyone I care about uses. But, I guess it’ll eventually have to go as well. Billionaire tech bros can go piss up a rope

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

I love this, not only because it’s one of those β€œhave faith in the universe” stories, but also because it reminds me of what Twitter (and, heck, the internet) once was. Saudade in a big way.

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

Lynch often said he didn’t see his work as nightmarish or transgressive. To him, it was all about capturing a story, a moment in time, or a state of mind. Straight Story captures all of these beautifully.
