"How does the subconscious know who to make? Well, my theory is that the subconscious, aware of the story it’s working on, is primed to supply a character who is, let’s say, 'non-random,' given the existing qualities of the story." - George Saunders

It was AFTER Confederation, took 10 years of stop-and-start planning first, and the 1881-1885 construction phase went HALFWAY across Canada—just Ontario to B.C.—without labour standards or consideration of Indigenous people. This mythologizing of the CPR is in itself a mark of unseriousness.

Like most people my age, I wasn’t taught about residential schools in our social studies or history classes. And, little did we know, some were still operational while we were in school.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

I wasn't too fussed about Heated Rivalry not being nominated for the International Emmy Awards... then I looked at what is. Have the iEmmys become just another front in the American streaming wars? It shouldn't be a competition between their "foreign" shows. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

A right wing politician talking about their own poverty-stricken past always makes me hate them even more. People who pull up the ladder behind them are so much more disgusting than people who've been rich their whole lives and never even considered that the ladder exists.

AI is incompatible with the basic principles of schooling. Don't cheat. ↪ AI is trained on stolen work. Think for yourself. ↪ AI confidently tells you what to think. Work hard. ↪ AI does the work for you. It's OK to make mistakes. ↪ AI removes the chance to make mistakes and learn.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

Workers now produce roughly 40% more per hour than they did in the late 1990s. But we're not working shorter weeks, retiring earlier and living more comfortably asa result. Instead people are struggling to pay for the heating, food and bills at the same time. We're being robbed blind.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.
