They are on my list to try. Next trip home, for sure! Really does look like a lovely date spot (either by yourself or with someone else).

Nick's Inn, Sargeant Sundae, Getaway Cafe, and Inferno's depending on who is with me and what I want.

Nick's is my go-to.

Outside of Winnipeg, I have a ton. Mostly Westman, tho.

The white one. Only because a) It's different from others in the same category, and b) I think it's a nice play on "flow"

There is no evidence to support that federal research funding is being unfairly allocated to "woke" or "leftist" research.

If anything, as @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I found, research on structural inequality is underfunded.

I will link our original piece below.

Hugely important academic paper repository arXiv says it will no longer accept Computer Science papers that are still under review due to the wave of AI-generated ones it has received. This will radically change preprint and open access scientific research

I haven't said this in a long time, but I can't wait for this to come out.

I'm devastated just watching the bits and pieces I've caught on YouTube.

Might need a GoFundMe for the tissues.

If I can still smell your cologne 30 minutes later in the elevator, it's too damn much.

Also, I know the smell of leafy green well enough to identify it under all that cologne. You aren't fooling anyone.

Damn kids.

It takes a special kind of person to look at LLMs and think, "You know what? I could compensate for my lack of self-confidence/education and signal my group identity to even more people if I automated my death threats."

I should be doing my PhD on why all the hard things come easy for me, but all the simple things are the ones I lose hours on trying to figure out.

I cannot describe how frustrating it is for me.

Please help share and sign this letter with your colleagues before November 4th. If you have applied for Tri-Council funding in the last 25 years, all of your data is at risk of being included and sent to an unnamed researcher and MPs on the committee.

The Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research is launching a US-style attack on EDI in Tri-Council funding.

As part of this attack, they are demanding disclosure of confidential demographic info + reviewer comments of all Canadian researchers who have applied b/w 2000-2025.

Maxime Blanchette-Joncas:
I'm tabling the following motion:
That the committee request the three funding councils, namely the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), as part of the study on the impact of federal funding allocation criteria on research excellence in Canada, to provide it with the disaggregated data of all submitted applications, whether funded or not, for all student and faculty funding programs from the master's level onwards for applications made between 2020 and 2025. That this data include (1) demographic data of applicants and collaborators, including applicants' responses to the equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) questionnaire, (2) the institutions and departments of applicants, including the institutions of collaboration, (3) the language of the application, (4) all data regarding the type of application and project content (application year, grant program, discipline, title, summary, amount requested by the applicant), as well as (5) the identity of the evaluation committee, comments, opinions, scores assigned to applications for each criterion, and (6) the outcome of the application and the amount awarded. That the three funding councils submit all this data to the committee within 15 days following the adoption of this motion, in an Excel spreadsheet format.
