"Musk paywalls nonconsensual child deepfake generator after backlash" is technically true, but makes it sound like accountability happened. "I will now charge you for the thing everyone is upset about" is just advertising the feature and actively affirming it as a product worth paying for.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?

Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."

Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

yes, we should train students for jobs that don't exist yet...by giving them a solid foundation in core skills of thinking, creating, and understanding. not by teaching them to babysit some LLM.

We're excited to announce that we'll be hosting a book launch for "Challenging Exile," a new legal-historical analysis by Eric Adams and Jordan Stanger-Ross on the internment/displacement of Japanese Canadians after WWII. To register, go here: www.constitutionalstudies.ca/events/book-...

Regardless of how I feel about rule changes, doing this without consulting the players is a huge mistake.

- TSN Nathan Rourke didn't hold back when asked about the new changes announced by the CFL on Monday. He called the changes 'garbage' and says no players or coaches were consulted ahead of this announcement...

Canadian Lions QB Nathan Rourke's dissent is fascinating, because it comes from a place of real CFL fandom. He loves the league, and hates the changes and how they were made, and questions how much Johnston loves the league. This was all a risky move by the commish. www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/20...

Alaska Highway News is indexed in Canadian Newsstream, a database available at many public and academic libraries in Canada. I know that doesn't make it as easily accessible as if it were freely available online, but they are findable.

I do, and they have expanded to many more locations now, so I hope that is no longer the case but don't have any inside info to confirm.

Any suggestions of scholarship on wearing technology (smart watches, oura rings, ovulation tracking apps) and data privacy considerations? I’d love to include some of this scholarship in my class! Thanks in advance πŸ™‚
