I Went to Watch the Tiny Operation That’s Making ICE Lose Its Mind. A Lot Can Happen in 24 Hours. At the headquarters for Donald Trump’s darkest work, a few people are getting under the administration’s skin.

This is really well done. slate.com/business/202...

To wit: Mamdani came out with full-throated, unconditional support for trans people and religious minorities, answering those questions proactively for any voter to see. This is the way.

It's municipal election day in Alberta.

It's also COVID-booking-opens-to-the-general public day.

Both processes are operating under new rules imposed by the provincial government.

Neither is going smoothly.

As long as you’re in line by 8 p.m., you’ll be allowed to vote β€” so don’t leave the line!

Thanks to all the election workers and volunteers helping make today possible.

The lines may be long and the process a bit slower than usual, but it’s always worth it to have your say in our democracy.

AI’s Invasive Species The slop is winning.

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

Thirsty AI data centres are coming to Canada, with little scrutiny or oversight | CBC News Canada is poised to join the data centre boom. But as such projects face greater scrutiny around the world, there is little debate here about what this will mean for the country’s water.

We are not paying nearly enough attention to this in Canada.

Judge Wyant’s report makes it clear: We need a full public inquiry into #CorruptCare.

From buying Turkish Tylenol that nobody needed to contracting out private surgeries to friends of the government, Albertans deserve better.
