Friends, I’d like to show @ucalgary.bsky.social that @bsky.app is where the cool kids hang out and that they should start posting here more and less/none at TheBadPlace™️. Show them some love by reskeeting this 100000000x. 🧪

It's true, I was not prepared. 😂

Equality nerds! Joshua Sealy Harrington and I wrote a chapter on s 15 of the Charter for The Canadian Constitutional Law Open Access Casebook, 2nd ed (Richard Moon, Howard Kislowicz, and Asha Kaushal, eds), that is now available on SSRN as a handy reference: ssrn.com/abstract=603....

"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.

"Every afternoon at exactly 4:15, my neighbour stops in front of my lawn, knocks three times in the air, bows to the cedar bush, then skips away. Today, I'm going to find out why."

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. +

I guess I am also old. Didn't need it rubbed in quite so thoroughly, though!

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.

I applaud efforts to make cancer screenings less intimidating. Hope it goes well!

In your new vest, too! Looks great!

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...

Such terrible news. Thinking of you and all their loved ones tonight.

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 🙂

My 15yo asked me to watch it with her last night - very entertaining! And I expect she'll be playing the music from the film for every car ride in the near future.

What a great initiative! Wonderful to see your book highlighted this way, too. Congratulations!

Congratulations, Slavo! This is stunning!
