all i wanted was a world where I could talk about politics with my friends without ever discussing two presidents giving each other blowjobs but woke took that away too.

AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

This is so foundational to our human interactions that they teach kids about how sharing and ownership work in kindergarten and earlier. All the AI boom folks are lacking in the social basics even four-year-olds have a better grasp of.

As always with the RebelCons/MAGAs, the question is:

Are they truly dumb enough to believe what they're selling us, or do they KNOW what they're saying is utter twaddle?

If one assumes that Mulroney isn't that dumb, it means that he's a snake oil salesman like Slogan Boy.

Respectfully, I am also asking these questions of @mark-carney.bsky.social.

That an ex-con, enriched by a speculative activity that is both utterly useless & environmentally destructive, in cahoots with a despot who threatens our country, now tops the ranks of Canadian capitalism, proves we've gone right off the rails. Time to think big about change.

Yay! Canada! Let's spend our allegedly few tax dollars on pipelines and drilling!

Middle of road NDP party loses.

To repurpose a tweet from Sheryl: "If your position is that [Sask New] Democrats have no choice but to agree, than you are impliedly admitting the [NDP] are no longer an opposition party because the cost of opposition is too high, and we are effectively a one party [petro]fascist state."

Carney is scrapping the luxury tax. Here’s how people are reacting The Trudeau-era rule rules previously levied a tax on vehicles and aircraft worth more than $100,000 and boats worth more than $250,000.

It has become impossible to distinguish Liberals from Conservatives - as they both only work for the wealthy.

"We have rule of law" unless you're trans in Saskatchewan, Muslim in Quebec, a teacher in Ontario or Alberta, a rail worker, a postal worker, or indigenous.

What a bizarre way to characterize prosecuting/condemning a murder.

Oh I guess you’re right, let’s just pretend it never happened and maybe we can export some more chic peas.

Maybe, prosecute people and people who direct people to murder Canadians? Seems like a low bar…

I bet he made mad bank stabbing Albertans in the back. What a bunch of suckers and losers in that province.

Is this the new math? Like 2+2 = you must submit to the fascists or else violence and trade wars await you? 🤷🏼‍♂️
We have no agency, laws or ability to resist violence from other governments? 🤯

The Sask party run Saskpower-

“ let’s invest in literally anything to avoid renewables!!!”

“Power is just another culture war for us”

“screw them future generations”
Probably.

We’ve already seen so many good journalists and other critical voices across Alberta getting singled out one after the next by these long and expensive legal battles

Enough is enough

@pressprogress.ca stands behind its journalism, and we will defend ourselves vigorously in court

Or bear with me, no more ai data centres!

I can still remember when being antisemitic meant you discriminated jews and denied the Holocaust. Now, it mostly means you oppose genocide.

But it's not working anymore. The game is up. And I predict Paramount is going to regret this.

‘the anxieties of the fossil-fuel age—that someone, somewhere, will turn off the taps—do not apply to technologies which, once installed, produce power regardless of what their makers may have to say. Solar cells cannot be suborned in the way that silicon chips might be.’

I wonder if we might convince Scott Moe that putting panels up along the easements for pipelines was somehow supporting the fossil fuel industry?

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

Road User Awareness Training: East Lothian Council Paul Duncan from East Lothian Council talks to us about how local authorities can benefit from Road User Awareness Training.

"I would recommend that all lorry and bus drivers participate in at least one of these day courses."

🚲 We hear from drivers at @eastlothiancouncil.bsky.social on their experience of Road User Awareness Training - which is helping to embed road safety knowledge and change perceptions on cycling.

Alberta allowed cash-strapped MAGA Energy to acquire 170 wells | The Narwhal The Alberta Energy Regulator approved MAGA Energy, already in financial distress, to acquire 170 oil and gas wells. Unpaid bills will likely fall on taxpayers

These guys are too broke to get a new gas compressor for Armisie Field operations in urban Edmonton. They flare and vent sour gas without a permit because of it.

Alberta let an oil and gas company ‘in survival mode’ take over 170 wells. Now it’s not paying its bills: thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-...
