As Mark Carney & Danielle Smith ram through yet another new pipeline, remember that our leaders (at all levels) have failed to clean up over 300,000 wells and 450,000 kilometres of pipeline across Alberta after a century of development. No cleanup = no new pipelines!!! #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

I don't know how but we have to teach people to be better at detecting bullshit. Instead we have this ersatz skepticism where people are suspicious about the wrong things and find their way to conclusions that are worse than if they just blindly accepted conventional wisdom

For the first time in forever there's no TDSB Friday PA day giving kids a four day weekend before cold weather sets in. I'm guessing it's more Doug Ford nonsense.

The best investigative journalism leads to important columns like this from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social. #Gift 🎁 #ToPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
It all creates ethical and trust issues. Beyond the potential privacy breaches around contact collection, an app like this can blur the distinction between heartfelt support and what is sometimes called “AI-slop”: shoddy or thin material passed off as natural or human made.

The Victory app taps into our worst social media impulses to comment on everything, supercharging it, turning supporters into human-machines posting similar messages. A virtual army, as it were. An older term for flooding the zone with provocative, sometimes propagandic, material was “agitprop.” This new version could be called “agitslop.”

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".
