“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

So, I used to help domestic violence survivors get civil protection orders. I can say confidently that the answer to every one of this jackass’s rhetorical questions about whether a “real” victim of domestic violence would behave toward an abuser the way his ex behaved toward him is… yes. 100%.

And this is why we should cite Abby’s reporting and not other news outlets aggregating it 🙂

"The role of the university is even lost on many, so bears repeating: produce knowledge & educate at the highest level. AI destroys both at their core." 👏👏👏 I want to do scholarly work well, as slow as it needs to be, not be "efficient." In fact, everybody should be allowed to do their jobs well.

Do I think Poilievre cares about labour rights on the whole? Of course not. The man has never shown himself to be concerned about the rights of workers. But I do think it's a reaaaally bad sign when he has better messaging on labour rights than our supposed Liberal Prime Minister.

It’s so funny (and even more telling) that the owners of professional sports teams acknowledge that there’s a problem with having an enormous wealth gap, but it only matters to them when it’s the difference between different magnitudes of billionaire.

Damn... 300% higher yields for peppers 200% for tomatoes. 65% lower water use for jalapenos. #agsky #agrivoltaics ,🌱🌞🔌..

Yeah, Kat Tenbarge was much nicer to Jack Osbourne than I would have been, I would have just told him to go fuck himself. Also, if you're going to accuse a writer or journalist of using "AI" on the basis of em dashes, absolutely positively go fuck yourself.

Canada needs more labour reporters to hold management accountable for their decisions Every layoff is a choice Good labour reporters should not simply tell you how many people were laid off, they should also question management's choices and ask what else is going on behind the scenes

I think Canada’s legal community does not adequately grasp the extent to which the legal system is being misused by performative dorks on the Internet

The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

It’s his fucking diary. If you don’t sound cringe in your own diary there’s something wrong with you.

Standing stubbornly in what I know to be right while people I trusted folded left right and center during a foundational threat to my very literal life and reason for being. It’s the same thing. It’s leading to thin trust with new people—people who are just going with the flow.

"so it felt like character flaws rather than what it really was, which was undiagnosed ADHD" Oh my God the years I spent over the years berating myself for having more ambition than work ethic, not knowing my brain was working against me the whole time

I was ...shocked to see how much 2 grams of gold is worth Even if crap 10k gold it's over $100

There's a lot in this thread & its multiple & various reply/quote offshoots that i disagree with, & am exhausted by, but i want to focus on 1 that i keep trying to press on: Let's stipulate LLMs *Can* do grad- & even expert-level math & we should prep for a revolution in the field… So what then?…

It would perhaps be warranted that we take a sociological, or even occupational ethnographical approach to the question: Why has reading been chosen as the first thing commercial AI developers will try to automate out of existence?

A dark day for human rights.
