Climate change, bird flu, AI, and Trump are our next existential crises.
I like to think my opinions are well-considered but I have blind spots and am open to new perspectives... Always.

Canadians are grappling with the very real and very frightening possibility that Mark Carney *played us like a fiddle* 👇🏼
At a time when the financial sector was under pressure to align with climate action, he correctly identified climate change posed a risk to investments & the energy transition posed a generational opportunity to profit. That is not the same as protecting people, communities and ecosystems from harm.

I’m not trying to be the fun police and I want us to be able to joke around and get along (I love Chris Wilson!)
But if we’re going to keep doing these events in the current political climate, the press might wanna be careful about what their laughter and cheers are normalizing

This would be a lot funnier if he showed any remorse for the journalist he disrespected in that apple-chewing moment (and the many others he’s attacked)
Without that, it just kinda feels like all the press and pundits cheering are saying “yeah that was fine, this is all a game”

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.”

AI prevents people from becoming smarter.
“Berg's point is that AI doesn't merely automate tasks — it automates the very processes through which people develop their skills.”
We can't really say this enough...

James Cameron stayed at the hotel I worked at in OKC a few times a year because his wife is from the city and he was a gigantic prick every single time. Treated all the workers like shit, never tipped, etc.
