A plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It is an egg-shaped toy designed with a weighted bottom-center. When tilted, the center of mass is raised, and upon release, gravity returns the toy to its original upright position. This one has a pale round face and blond hair and looks like it’s about to tell Ontario's to buy an egg sammich from Timmie's instead of doing anything at all useful to help the people in his province.

As a terminologist, I love a good glossary. This is an incredibly useful one to spot hate and dog whistles.

There is an opportunity to do good with AI, but now we are just enabling oppressive regimes and companies to fleece and subjugate us. We also run the risk of irresponsibly developed AI deciding to wipe us out. Don't touch AI right now and let these guys all go broke.

Me too!

Looks like you're doing an excellent job!

A graphic reads “We’re standing up for press freedom” and displays a photo of an RCMP officer peering into a tiny house dwelling through a window.

The Narwhal is suing the RCMP to protect press freedom for all Canadians, and our case will be heard in a Vancouver courtroom beginning next week. We’re counting on your support as the case unfolds, so here’s what you need to know. 🧵

I'm definitely going to make this. It would be good made with meyer lemons instead of clementines too.
