It feels like such a strange fever dream to be able to watch classic Doctor Who on a large TV screen. I remember watching episodes on this tiny 12” I had. Child me would be absolutely losing her mind.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Screenshot of the Nvidia app's "Settings > Features" section.
Showing the newly added "AI Agents and App Connections" section.
The option for "Allow Agents to control NVIDIA App" is enabled by default.
This happened in version 11.0.9.565

Pause AI in BC Schools @aicaution.ca · 14/10/2026

Canada's national teacher union @ctffce.bsky.social just released a fantastic article taking apart the Canadian govt's pro-AI curriculum. It highlights how the curriculum is part of the wider government push for adoption, with little regard for safety. www.ctf-fce.ca/national-ai-...

The myth of responsible use

Emerging research warns that AI use in the classroom may do more harm than good. This month, the OECD acknowledged the drop in reading scores among 15-year-olds is associated with increased reliance on AI and digital technology. Studies also suggest AI can reduce teaching quality and weaken the teacher-student relationship. In British Columbia, more than 80% of teachers worried that students will become overly dependent on AI or lose critical thinking skills. Nevertheless, Amii promises their course will help teachers “tend a thriving digital classroom ecosystem.” With growing evidence of AI risks, how will Amii meaningfully guide educators to embed systems in an age-appropriate, pedagogically-sound way?

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Having a data center nearby would cost them way more than $10k. In property values alone. Oligarchs are getting desperate. www.pennlive.com/business/202...

In Pennsylvania, residents turn down $10,000 each to back a data center: ‘It’s like bribery’

The developer of Project Hazelnut offered a $165 million benefits package to Hazle Township, Pa.

I understand I wasn’t at my best and was not exactly great to be around. I also understand that ultimately this person was not worth keeping in my life because someone that claims the above wouldn’t dump you during hard times, but it still fucking hurts.

Just torturing myself thinking about the person that said we were close friends, and that I was easy to be around, not a burden, kicking me out of their life shortly after my dad & soul cat died. I’m sorry I was needy/“doom and gloom”? I know it’s not their job to be emotional support but like?

you could just read Rigsby WI online and not get the books. That's 100% valid and I publish RWI free online so nobody has a financial barrier to reading it (other than needing internet). But did you know the books have B-B-B-BONUS COMICS? Get one (or all!) here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.
