How many provinces and territories will show us leadership on shunning the CSAM platform before the Carney government gets around to it?
Premier Susan Holt confirmed Thursday afternoon the New Brunswick government will stop using the social media platform X for “routine communications.” The decision comes just hours after the province’s child and youth advocate raised concerns about the platform in an open letter to Premier Holt and her government. Kelly Lamrock wrote that X has refused to “rein in the use of its platform for the sexualization and exploitation of children,” and that X’s artificial intelligence tool, Grok, allows users to alter an image to show a subject in sexualized positions. “There have been repeated instances of images of minors being sexualized and shared by X users, and acknowledgement that X has neither taken steps to prevent the practice nor to respond in a timely way to complaints from victims,” Lamrock wrote.

So @evansolomon.bsky.social, any comment on this use of AI?
So @mark-carney.bsky.social, is this a good fit for government communications?
So @juliedabrusin.bsky.social, as my MP, what do you make of this?
So @liberal.ca.web.brid.gy, you all campaigned on accountability so what now?

Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

The Holiday Lego is up!!! I have all the previous sets I want (courtesy of a recent birthday gift from dear husband via eBay). Eagerly awaiting this year’s sets.
The right sided section of the human section of the Lego Christmas village. It includes the Alpine lodge (2023), winter Christmas Market (the birthday gift, originally from 2013), the holiday train (2016), and the Holiday station (2015), and a few odds and ends. The train is placed on track arranged in the foreground. The building sets are placed at the back. There are lights about the sets for decoration and emphasis. The mythical middle section of the winter village. Santa’s workshop (2014) is on the far left, beside the gingerbread house (2016), and the elf club house (2020). There is an empty Lego train track, and lots of space available for this year’s additions. The left sided section of the human winter village. It includes the Main Street and cable car (2022), the fire station (2018), the winter village post office (2011), winter village toy shop (2015), winter village bakery (2011), and Santa’s visit (2012). The sets are arranged along the back of a shelf, with a train track placed in front of them. There are lights arranged about the Lego sets).

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured.
The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
A black granite memorial plaque features a circular arrangement of names in white text, bordered by silver rivets. At the top center is an emblem of a bee with gears. The text reads "in memoriam" followed by two columns of names: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, Barbara Klucznik Widajewicz. At the bottom: "6 DÉCEMBRE 1989".

I made these last weekend. Raspberry dark chocolate cookies. They were delicious. A bit of joy.
12 raspberry dark chocolate cookies just out of the oven on a silpat lined baking tray. The cookie dough is nicely browned, and bits of fresh raspberries and cheese now of dark chocolate can be seen interspersed within the dough. Best eaten day out of the oven.

Two pages apart in the @thestar.com : 9 year old killed by driver of SUV jumping curb, and Ontario bans speed cameras. Yes they are related, because Doug Ford inculcates a culture that the world is made for drivers, but kids and cyclists? Too bad.

The Toronto #BlueJays gave us arguably the closest #WorldSeries in modern history, and the most fun and inspiring playoff run I can remember in any sport. I LOVE THAT TEAM, and 100% believe #TORONTO should have a HUGE CELEBRATION ANYWAY, to thank the team, fans, city and COUNTRY for a legendary run!
