Why do we give this oxygen?

Trump is deeply unserious, as are his threats. He's demonstrated that he will blink first in nearly every challenge to his threats.

Things look good today? Ok, but that could all change tomorrow.

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"
HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.”

What purpose would this bridge serve? No one in Canada wants to visit the US, and the US doesn't want any of our goods. Just leave it to rust away and take the L.

I think we all recognize that in politics, what is promised in a campaign is often watered down before it actually gets put into practice.
Yet, so many liberals and centrists are preemptively watering down their goals.

Shoot for the moon in your campaign because it's going to get compromised anyway

Good thread 👇
Immediately before the arrival of AI image generators, there was an entire generation of online memes based on people not being “able to draw.” They were drawn poorly, but also, this was an invitation for you to participate, modify, or draw your own. Importantly though, they communicated effectively

If you think you need AI to make art, I'm so sorry that society has beaten you down and gaslit you so badly that you don't believe in yourself anymore

We have to imagine a better future for ourselves.

In the future I want, men can hold hands and kiss eachother 💋 in the street without being assaulted and there will be rampant community gardens, bakeries, and hydroponics towers. Smogless skies and clean drinking water. More public transit.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Digital sovereignty should be our number one priority.

Canada could have such an amazing tech sector if we cared to support it
Donald Trump probably (!) won't order a military attack on Canada. But his administration is happy to interfere in our politics, and we have to respond accordingly: by thickening our informational borders and holding tech companies to account. #cdnpoli

Trumpism's war on the truth is coming to Canada. We need to be ready
The Trump administration has made it clear that it will use almost everything at its disposal in its broader war on the truth. If we're not careful here in Canada, we'll become one of its casualties.

Not only did the cybercrime unit in Paris raid the X offices.

They rubbed it in and posted on X that the X offices have been raided.

Then retired their Twitter account, so their final post is that they are raiding Musk.

Absolute legend.

Magnifique! 🇫🇷
🚨The French offices of Elon Musk's X have been raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit, as part of an investigation into suspected offenses including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.

Today on the train a man walked up and down the aisles talking to himself. Then he busted out his backpack Bluetooth speaker and marched up and down the train singing his favourite heavy metal ballad incredibly off key and at high volume

It's tough because he's being obnoxious, but also

The wild part to me is that not fucking people over whom you have significant power is SO DAMN EASY! You just have to not fuck them, a thing I can accomplish even as I type this post!
Before it gets lost in the noise:

Don’t fuck your employees.

Don’t fuck your 20-something employees.

Don’t fuck your 20-something employees who are currently depending on you for a place to live.
