Incredible how successful the decision of most Canadian provinces to stop selling US alcohol has been.

we were just briefly in Toronto last month and spent literally less than an hour on Queen West before a show and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since because there is just nothing like that here except like Commercial or Main on much smaller scales – but still not the same

Whenever someone gets mad at me for questioning the net usefulness of AI and says something like “you’re like the people who didn’t want to use the internet”—with love, I was born in 1997, and my life growing up online is all the evidence I need that we should handle AI differently than we are now

it is kind of interesting that the language-based instruction of LLMs may be revealing certain truths hidden in the way we’ve communicated for decades, like how “politically incorrect” is interpreted to mean “openly racist”

Bowinn Ma is an incredible community leader, who I am proud to work with every day.

No matter who you are, or what you do for a living, you have a right to safety at work.

My thoughts are with @bowinnma.bsky.social, her staff and the community affected by this incident.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed.

(video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

The #NHLJets are huddled around Mark Scheifele in the middle of the ice. One by one, they're hugging him. What a heartbreaking ending to a more-than heartbreaking day for No. 55.

this is bad bad - "The survey shows a steep decline in the number of parents reading aloud to young children, with 41% of 0- to four-year-olds now being read to frequently, down from 64% in 2012." Reading to your kids is one of the strongest early life interventions possible!
