Look all I know is that they're driving environmental harm and I don't really care how much help anyone thinks they are at coding, data centers are sucking up water and power at a rate that is harming actual human beings and the world around us and therefore LLMs can get fucked.

Lora Kolodny

was discussing with a fellow traveler today -- but programmers, coders, developers are having an *entirely* different experience of LLM-based products and services than the rest of us, especially the plagiarized plebeians among us (writers, reporters).

I have been saying this for ages! Misinformation robs people of autonomy. When applied to women’s health it means it is inherently misogynistic!

Timothy Caulfield

Hear, hear‼️ Health misinformation erodes autonomy‼️ Vaccine mis- and disinformation isn’t just a threat to public health, but also to our autonomy theconversation.com/vaccine-mis-... "If we value autonomy for what it really means ... we must take action to address mis- and disinformation."

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.

I loathe the take of “well every writer is using AI and afraid to say it”. Like, that’s only true if your sample group is tech reporters and various hacks. Writers that don’t give a shit about writing, they just know they need a newsletter to make money, use AI. That’s a big fucking difference

Canada Post now has a Canadian shopping hub for buying from Canadian businesses! canadashops.ca Not a huge amount there just now, but I hope this will grow. I'm also hopeful it will mean more retailers sending via CanPost instead of courier.

the people opposing the data center will be brutally owned by being reminded that they use Amazon, while the people who oppose the train own car dealerships

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

To put it in a way that may get at people's slowness to realize or reluctance to accept this: the past was not simpler than the present in any general sense, nor were people in the past less complex. They did not all think similarly. Assuming otherwise is not historical thinking, merely nostalgia.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò

one tendency that comes out about period films is the insistence that XYZ moral thought would not have occurred to anyone in the ancient world. to be sure there are moral innovations and changes but the existence of thorough dissatisfaction with the present moral order is not a modern phenomenon
