Years ago, back before the Munk Debates jumped the shark and were still very small events, I was at one at the ROM b/w Mia Farrow and Rick Hillier (on peacekeeping, I think?). Anyways, Hiller spoke SO disdainfully about how "drive-by PhDs" have no business commenting on military affairs. Same vibes.

CANCELLED!! was included pre-emptively, clearly. To be clear- I've never been a knee jerk hater. I usually enjoy some of what she does... there are always turns of melody & lyrical phrasing that are compelling. I think at this point tho, her machine is like phragmites in the girlhood pop ecosystem.

Indeed. And that is why evil men do not deserve moments of silence or platitudes of compassion.

Apparently a minimum of 20% of new tables at a restaurant patio currently being built need to be accessible to any diner using mobility aids. But only if my place of business hires more than 49 people. Great to have all this super relevant information for my job as a university professor.

Meanwhile, also yesterday, I got a cheerful message from the Dean’s office about how “helpful” guides on how to be “more thoughtful” about how we can incorporate AI in the classroom are now available to us…Then MS Copilot asked me if I wanted help summarizing the message.
