My teen got on the school bus today. It’ll be her first time in a classroom in nearly a year. She did it herself, without the mental-health support she should have been given.

“How’s English workin’ out for ya?” I teased the teen when she flubbed a couple of words.

She lifted her eyebrow and said, “How’s AI taking over your job working for you?”

I’m intensely proud to be a small part of this historic movement. Welcome, Halifax!
🇬🇧 📨 We hand-delivered a letter from our comrades at Ubisoft Halifax to Yves Guillemot, and added one of our own demanding the wilful cooperation of the company, directly at Ubisoft's headquarters. Hopefuly the company will be reasonable and let our comrades unionize peacefully.

It’s frustrating when you want to practice your French but you go to a place where the correct way to order is “un cheeseburger, frites et quatre hot dogs all-dressed avec ketchup.”
