Hi folks, I'm the creator of www.moongazing.ca, a fun alternate-present sci-fi comic.

Life is pretty good on Compass Station. All kinds of hominids and electronic intelligences are here, working and playing.

Things might be changing soon, with extradimensional travelers in the mix.

On the plus side, the shit video is about as strong a confirmation as you can get that the protests were a success. The narcissist-in-chief stewed all fucking day over it.

Oooh. Nice, that's awesome.

My aversion to AI being touted as superior was born in the pages of the Charlie Brown's 'Cyclopedia, in which they explained that computers were *faster*, but not smarter.

First to the wrong answer isn't awesome.

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.

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies.

Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

The reason not to be empathetic toward genAI users is that if your boss and coworker went "hey check this out, it's a hefty bag full of hot dogshit, it's a valueble part of my workflow now" you would not be expected to be empathetic.

People would fully expect you to go "the fuck is wrong with you?"

90 FUCKING PERCENT

i’d love for cis folks to remember what the nyt, atlantic, guardian, daily mail, times of london, ny post, cnn, wall street journal, & economist took from your transgender neighbors & loved ones before the next time you consider giving them money or listening to a word they say.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights.

lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

A poll, commissioned by Equality Australia in the first quarter of 2025, found that:
• 86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
• 89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
• 91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
• 81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other
Australians.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

Unclear. This makes it seem like 24 cars were used to make 17 for filming, and all but one ended up wrecked enough to be scrapped afterwards.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.
