Film guy. Enjoy my various musings while remembering that like most of the people on the internet, I'm probably an idiot.

Considering that most large scale LLMs absolutely necessitate vacuuming up massive data sets, feels like an almost certainty that these things are going to be vulnerable to malicious exploits.

Piping plovers β€” tiny, lively and endangered birds β€” have visited Wasaga Beach every summer since 2007.

But things may be changing β€” and what happens here could be a sign of what’s to come elsewhere in Ontario.

One thing I'll say about the Yankees, Judge really is a special player, truly an incredibly scary hitter to see at the plate. That being said... LETS GO BLUE JAYSSS!!! 🐦🐦🐦

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Clarence Thomas Admits That He’s Coming for Our Rights In a little-covered speech, the Supreme Court justice explained how he thinks the court should reverse rulings conservatives don’t like.

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed.
But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation.

For all my friends who are either in or interested in the entertainment industry. I am begging you to stop talking about "Tilly Norwood" and instead focus on her "creator" Eline Van der Velden and what an exceptional hack she is.

How a Zoomer Became Leader of the BC Green Party | The Tyee Inside the campaign that scored a victory for 25-year-old Emily Lowan.

β€œIt was a lightning rod of hope. We brought in thousands of new members to this party, many of whom were completely disillusioned with politics.”

Emily Lowan’s victory is a sign that the climate movement still has the energy to capture voters. Hugh Chan writes. #bcpoli

Famed Apple designer Jony Ive couldn't find a lantern he liked for his yacht, so he designed his own. It's $4,800. Jony Ive's design collective, LoveFrom, has partnered with Japanese manufacturer Balmuda to create the $4,800 Sailing Lantern.

If there's anything that really gives away how insanely out of control wealth inequality and hyper capitalism have got, it's the obsession tech executives have with fucking yachts.

The discussion around the shooters in recent events has unsurprisingly become all about political affiliations but I think there's an already obvious problem this is bearing to light. Gen Z men are FUCKED. These guys are in such desperate need of guidance and support and it's such a vast problem.

Having just got post season Blue Jays tickets, I will use this opportunity to once again rail on about what a corrupt and terrible monopoly Ticketmaster (and LiveNation) is and it absolutely needs to be regulated and broken up.

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we build courage.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18.

I have to wonder if in light of this new administration's very overt 'pay for play' position on corporate mergers, are people finally willing to start taking a stand for anti-trust yet?

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

The most despicable part of what's happening re: these firings, cancellations, placements on leave, etc. is that right wingers will say "it's an employer's right" and intentionally ignore or downplay how all of these employers are actively trying to avoid the wrath of a vengeful government.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Whatever your feelings on him, this feels like the right ruling. Treating this as terrorism would set a pretty scary precedent.
