Also smut is good and very fun and people should not be snobs about it

So apparently Jordan Peterson’s very scientific daughter is blaming his failing health on spiritual attacks from their enemies.

Great, thanks, this should be a helpful addition to the discourse in these calm and placid times @matthewremski.bsky.social

Omg you guys. I just went to check group DMs on the hellsite formerly known as Twitter, and seen this on the way in 😣 Hard to believe this isn’t parody. These people are as stupid as they are dangerous 😡

Hey, as you know, Jordan Peterson has been really sick. People have been asking for updates so here’s one He’s recovering slowly day by, it’s slow and scary. He won’t be back for another few, probably longer. Entirely sure what’s going on, but it looks like CIRS and a lot of bad luck. We’re getting spiritually attacked. or both.
to be perfectly honest, I think a lot of of this is spirit my newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us, then needed a hospital And the same day, he went to the hospital by ambulance Born turned blue again for a different reason not heart related hospital by ambulance.

Within three hours of each other. It’s been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way. In the meantime Will be going full force with Peterson Academy, and keeping his message alive while he recovers. Not letting demons get in the way of that. Prayers are Much appreciated.

“You must go to the high schools that we are starving before we will allow you to become one of our desperately-needed doctors” is a wild take

The extra bit of irony to this insane policy is that the Ford government is chronically underfunding both education and healthcare

This is honestly the craziest thing I have ever read.

The Ontario Ministry of Health is requiring international medical graduates to have attended HIGH SCHOOL in Ontario to be considered for a first-round residency slot.

I ask my students not to use AI because it means they are not fully engaging with their own learning. If they do, it’s a betrayal of my trust.

The worst part? I learned about this Quillbot BS because my teaching colleage forwarded it to me - it was a promotional email sent to her professional account. They're specifically targeting schools. I hate it I hate it I hate it

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

Apparently there are 30something variants now - this is when it pays to be a Taylor Swift appreciator rather than a fan

Ok, I do NOT want to take away from the awesomeness of this thread about this awesome bike

But I know it’s October because I heard the voice of the goat from the VVITCH when I read it

would you like to live multi-modally?

Ally Boo-art 👻 @allystewart.bsky.social · 4d

Ok, so I like Taylor Swift fine but I don’t know her stuff well enough to find Easter eggs or whatever and I don’t know how the music industry works.

I do not understand “variant” releases. Like this one, for instance; are we not already supposed to listen to an album track by track

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger.

The answer is empathy and compassion.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 7d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
