I’m working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. I’ll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only “TRUMP” CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump refers to Prime Minster Mark Carney as "the future Governor of Canada"

i am not an educator so maybe this is dumb, but can we not just like, go back to readings and class discussions?

i did most of my upper division and graduate work in college out of sheer fear of the socratic method

The official statement from Grammarly is so typical of AI boosters/tech companies of late. ‘Sure, we’re resurrecting the dead to exploit them for a few dollars and the ‘experts’ have no idea we’re using their names and reputations, but we hoped to make more money before anyone really noticed’

Thanks! My hunch is the mug turned out different based on where it was in the kiln

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

Shocker that the people we hold accountable through access to information are impeding access to information

Two handmade ceramic cups with pink upper glaze and blue speckled bases sit on a wooden shelf; one is a handle-less cup and the other a mug with a handle. Stacked white mugs, a plastic storage bin, and a pegboard wall appear in the background of the pottery workspace.

Same clay body, same glazes, same firing temp. Wildly different results because the kiln Gods have to keep you on your toes.

There's a non-zero chance this is AI writing

If they keep pushing AI in schools I worry we’ll be the last generation to even be able to identify what is AI writing and what’s not, let alone prefer writing from humans

My personal theory (cancel me now) is that many people actually might not like the taste of coffee (especially the bitter stuff you get in Starbucks etc) and loads of sugar and flavoring is the only way to make it palatable.

Just absolutely no regard for others and further normalizing the idea that spreading disease is NBD.

They’re joking about being sick on air on CBC Radio right now.

As a longtime advocate for victims of stalking, I receive an inordinate amount of emails from people in psychosis. They are convinced they're being gang stalked and often cite an AI chatbot conversation as proof.

This stuff is becoming more common and resources like this are super important.

I feel some sort of way about all the American journalistic pieces and commentaries on how gas prices are increasing while their country bombs schools and refineries

Fausse jurisprudence, vrai malaise | Un juge a-t-il succombé à la tentation de l’IA ? Lorsqu’il a entraîné des investisseurs de Québec dans la retentissante débâcle du groupe Huot, l’homme d’affaires Robert Giroux a fait preuve d’un manque de transparence que rien ne saurait justifier,...

If you don't read French, the takeaway here is that a judge used AI in writing their decision which is a problem on many, many levels one of which being that they cited non-existent case law.

Jesus Christ Seigneur.

Half the office is out sick. Again. When are we going to stop pretending this is normal and sustainable?

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
