I love learning about the world in all its complexity. Let's help make the world a more compassionate, accepting, and understanding place. I've been using library sciences and AI to help orgs control their information chaos for the last 20 years.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

We Gave Homeless People Cash. They Bought Housing Not Drugs. The evidence from Vancouver to Denver is undeniable: When people in crisis receive money, substance use goes down, employment goes up, and homelessness ends.

Here's a roundup I just did of homeless focused pilot results:

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Drimonis: Departing Legault delivers another blow to Montreal Amid labour shortages, the CAQ has chosen to extend its moratorium on low-wage temporary-foreign-worker permits in Montreal and Laval.

“When Montreal succeeds, Quebec does, too. Yet we have a provincial government whose policies continue to hamper our city’s ability to grow and maximize on its strengths, preventing Quebecers from reaping the financial benefits.”

If ICE and genocide and grift and tyranny weren’t enough, this alone should have fire running down every street in America.

Oh no 😬

@ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social got spun by Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and ran a story about the “study” based on data from a dubious Serbian website

The website carries a disclaimer that the data is unvetted and they don’t guarantee it is “accurate or reliable”

90% of deep fake images online are non-consensual pornographic images of women and girls.

And yet, these images are not yet illegal in Canada.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This year's theme is digital abuse.

Fewer than 40% of countries have laws protecting women from cyber harassment or cyber stalking. This leaves 44% of the world’s women and girls without access to legal protection.
