That's why I'm so against ChatGPT. I'm against letting a machine do your homework for you. I think you should cling to Doing Your Homework Yourself like it's the last opportunity you have to liberate yourself from mental enslavement. Because it basically is.

Anyway shout out to Kai Cenat.

You’re only “losing an hour” if you didn’t invest the hour you gained last fall in a high-yield debt instrument. Oh, you’re feeling a little sleepier than normal tomorrow morning? Some of us have been grinding since November

On the photo radar question, my anecdotal observation is that, with it gone, most in Edmonton are driving at 10km/h above the posted limit now, minimum. It's the new base speed.

I didn't hate it, but it did have a sort of "shit, we're out of time / money! Okay, let's start killing people" feel (much like the stories I would write in high school)

The other editors in my department say this too. I've just had them on for so long that I don't notice / think the text is empty without them.

Of course, I also find myself removing bold and italics from empty spaces, which is possibly not worth the time

I'm always shocked when I hear about editors who can work with the formatting symbols hidden.

Yup. Every word.

Jayme Lawson says what all these Black people have been telling you. Including Black people with disabilities. Including Black people with Tourette syndrome. Including Black people with coprolalia.

But people still don't want to hear it.

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:

Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.

It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

This is because before the country was flooded with imported round tires from the USA, Canada used metric tires which are triangular.

If this is already the normal procedure everywhere, i.e. a google scholar import, universities’ library catalogues will be useless tomorrow.

Many people don't understand but the billionaires tax you every day by overcharging you and underpaying you

You controlling the Government via democracy and taxing and controlling the billionaires is the way of balancing this

In the last 50 years that balance has been destroyed

Is the assumption here that writers are only writing to earn money? Because that seems laughable

They've done great work for 35 years.

Carney could have chosen any economic sector for a Canadian moonshot — environmental tech, education, transportation. Instead, he’s focusing on the three most damaging sectors in the world today: fossil fuels, AI (hype version), arms manufacturing.
We desperately need alternative plans and policies.

I finally got around to making salt cod fish cakes. Not much to look at, but they were delicious!
