For years, Situational Awareness was tracked by Wall Street, members of the AI community and its founder’s fiercest followers. Outside those circles, however, the multibillion-dollar hedge fund remained largely unknown. But that was before it began unraveling this week. https://cnn.it/4w5VUZk

On an absolutely, completely unrelated note, here’s a nice story that happened this week. 15yo has been saving up Lego gift cards for literal years. Earlier this month, he decided he wanted to spend his hundreds of Lego dollars so that he could get this sea serpent ship gift with purchase

I had not seen this! Wild.

Been thinking about @shawnmicallef.bsky.social's comments re: non-fiction publishing in Canada, and how it mostly doesn't exist. The advances are too small, the market isn't big enough, and there's little support in the way of grants. I think this has a negative effect on the Canadian theatre.

Sutcliffe’s public persona is that he’s a nice, reasonable, middle-of-the-road business guy. This is quite at odds with that, though consistent with the campaign he ran four years ago. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/mayoral-race-turns-negative-sutcliffe-campaign-launches-attacks-9.7291102

So CBS and others invested in a pro trump audience that won’t arrive, alienating their actual audience, and trump propagandists are losing audience bc people are souring on Trump. Also helps explain the increased racist shrieking as they try to farm engagement www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

Received this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct

New from me at TVO, on why I'm not terribly worried about PC MPPs speaking out against ALTO. www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Chernos Lin's motion to refuse a 7-storey building planned for Millwood Road CARRIES 12-11.

Up early to my accounts this month, and I find myself worth clear 730l., the most I ever had yet, which contents me though I encrease but very little.

two days after Vancouver city council voted down their own Villages Plan, west side residents who opposed the plan en masse are complaining that Dunbar (!!) doesn’t have any wine bars, boutiques or gyms — the kind of amenities that require neighbourhood density to support

I can't be sure, but...I think this is advertising a chance for a five-way with elderly quadruplets?

Every time I see an author worried about how they'll prove they didn't use AI, I get it, but I think, man, if it gets even more difficult to be an author, I just won't. I'm tapped out. I once knew a kickass old lady who circulated typed copies of her writing to her friends, and I will just do that.

Councillor Paula Fletcher's motion to rename the Main Sewage Treatment Playground to "Ashbridge’s Bay Sports Hub" CARRIES via show of hands. Wait, what was wrong with the old name. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

Councillor Brad Bradford's motion requesting the mayor sit on the police board (instead of appointing a delegate) FAILS to make the agenda after a 7-18 vote. It needed two-thirds; got nowhere close. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

UEFA has just unanimously decided to boycott both men's and women's World Cups over FIFA's attempt to sell the global game to private equity. Damn.
