Food bank usage is at the highest levels they have ever been in HISTORY, under the Liberals. 1 in 4 Canadians (40% if they are BIPOC) will not have enough to eat for Thanksgiving and are considered food insecure. This is systemic starvation. There are no Federal food security programs.

Launching today with partners: a campaign to protect sharks & rays.

At #CITESCoP20, govts will decide whether to grant whale sharks, oceanic whitetips, and manta & devil rays full Appendix I protections — a once-in-a-generation chance.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.”

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable
AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."
