Please get your annual Flu and Covid vaccines. Mask up. And stay home if you're sick.

AI invisibilizes labour. How many people are even aware of the work subsaharan Africans did for 2$ a day and a heaping serving of mental trauma that even made LLM chat bots possible in the first place?
Last month, @theguardian.com framed this historical event project the same way; minimizing the years of archival work, the interviews etc it took to be able to do this.
Instead ‘AI solved this historical problem!’

It is absolutely reprehensible that people lose their life savings, their homes, and more because of medical bills. You should never, ever have to choose between cancer treatment or going to university. Or having to choose between having a baby or housing.
For-profit health care is inhumane.

Okay, so, you can't get replacement cost on older homes if they're not your primary residence unless you want to pay a 40% premium (is this a law or a decision by insurers?). Great, but when you assess the property at 2x what it's worth, it amounts to replacement cost.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen taxpayer dollars going to.
If gun owners are law abiding, weapons won’t be taken away. If the laws surrounding firearms change and there’s no grandfather clause, some may now be in violation of the law. It’s super easy to not have your guns taken away.

Robert Freberg says Saskatchewan will protect gun owners from charges, and ensure fair compensation.
Aaron Strauss of Cache Tactical agrees with the move.
"If these firearms are stolen from law-abiding citizens, by the federal govt, they [should be] at least compensated fairly for it." #cdnpoli

This man’s voice is like butter. Maybe not as good on poccorn but that may need to be tested.

Okay so the AB govt only likes a free and open market when the companies it likes, who are possibly doing an illegal, in the name of “protecting investors”? Isn’t this just…organised crime? Did Ms. Smith re-invent the mob?

I think I’m the only person in the country who did not care for these little mounds of saccharine joy. My grandmother though. She BOUGHT THESE THINGS BY THE CASELOAD.
For over 130 years, Canadians either loved or hated Cherry Blossoms.
Considered a staple of the Christmas season, these candies were often found in stockings.
In January 2025, it was announced Cherry Blossoms were being discontinued.
This is their history.
