When I started this in 2014, there was enthusiasm for this type of small YouTube series and I even worked on a few pitches for producers. It turned out that the idea wasn't viable and YouTube was better suited for talking heads and video essays.

I spent a decade making this animated, #scifi video series. It starts a bit loose as I figured out how to make it, but pulls together around episode 4. In the pilot ep, Earl, a young man in the village of #Glencoe #Ontario, is confused by the appearance of ... #bodybuilders.

Jane Jacobs: here's how cities work.

North America: we're going to do the exact opposite for 3/4s of a century!

Later: Jane Jacobs did this!

Awful generated AI image of a Canada Goose with a human hand.

This has to be one of the worst generated AI slop kitsch ad illustrations I've seen so far. Nice Orangutan hand, Dr. Moreau. #AIslop

More than 700 nursing, PSW jobs could be cut in Ottawa, says union | CBC News Ontario’s largest health-care union is sounding the alarm on impending job cuts and increased wait times if the province fails to increase hospital funding.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Post from Art Director Bill Robinson on LinkedIn saying: Welp, it finally happened. I was hired to work on a MAJOR live action Hollywood film (and I mean it’s one of the biggest anticipated films of the year). They needed a small animated sequence and wanted a character designer. I was handed a ChatGPT image and told “make it different”. I did - I spent hours finessing the design into something better and more specific for the character in the film. Waited a week for notes - then was told they got clearance from legal to use the original AI image instead. No need for any further work. This is what the director wanted. What are we doing as a society? What’s the endgame here? Replace every human until we are all homeless? I just don’t get it. If a major Hollywood film with a huge budget doesn’t see the need to work with real artists, is there any hope left?

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said. Continued global heating could trigger climate tipping points, leading to a cascade of further tipping points and feedback loops, they said. This would lock the world into a new and hellish “hothouse Earth” climate far worse than the 2-3C temperature rise the world is on track to reach. The climate would also be very different to the benign conditions of the past 11,000 years, during which the whole of human civilisation developed. Continue reading...

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy in a pawn shop talking to the employee at the counter. He has about half a loaf of bread in a bag in front of him. The seller asks, “how much will you give me for this stale bread?” Panel 2: the unsure employee replies, “tell ya what— I got a buddy who’s an expert on this stuff.” Panel 3: a goose in a hat and sunglasses walks confidently through the shop entrance towards the counter.

Seems pretty clear now how productive Jamil Jivani’s meetings in DC with very important people were.

That's all he's good for. He ran off his wife, destroyed the remaining fragments of his reputation, and ruined WaPo, once one of the most respective news outlets in the world.

Since all the news on social media these days is either bad or utterly disturbing I decided to log into LinkedIn for a breath of positivity and I'm happy to report that someone I worked with ten years ago but don't remember is feeling invigorated by the challenges this new chapter is about to offer.

We have a consultation problem. I write about a Toronto rec centre that will have taken 14 years to plan, cost at least three times the original budget - and be a bad building.
