This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I often think about how the rise of the neo-fascist right corresponds to the declining numbers of WW2 vets around to slug them right in the face.

Should we ice injuries? A review finds: -Icing can impair the inflammatory and regeneration process over the long term -It can reduce sensation of pain -If you decide to ice, do so in the acute phase (first few hours) and not 12hr+ post injury.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

IMO “elbows up” also means Canadian politicians need to stop copying American politicians’ branding / pretending to be the Canadian version of Obama, Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, etc. Not only are we our own unique country with our own unique problems, it’s also phoney and derivative

El-Sayed on RFK JR: It goes back to the fact that they appointed a guy who takes his kids swimming in Schitt's Creek. I find it personally offensive that my dude works out in jeans. Either he is not really working out or he just has massive calluses on the inside of his legs. It is not right

The two types of LCBO employee

GORD
Drawing of a middle-aged guy with shaggy hair and a mustache with a miserable look on his face and carpal tunnel brace on his hand

-Has worked here since the Mulroney administration
-Only known form of speaking is a grumbled “debit or credit” and a long “mhmmm”
-Will treat the task of lifting a bottle of wine and moving it 2 feet as if it was one of the 12 Labours of Hercules

LINDA
A sassy 40ish woman with a single dyed streak of blonde in her hair

Somehow manages to fit all of the most bizarre parts of her life into the smalltalk of a single 15-second transaction

HER SPEECH BUBBLES: Ah, Chilean wine, very nice pick. Y'know I got a Chilean dog? Rescue dog. Only speaks Spanish so I can’t understand ‘im. Missing a leg the poor bastard. Call 'em El Tripod. That'll be 15.99 honey. You ever seen anything sadder than a three-legged Chilean street dog trying to hump a Croc. Need your receipt
sweetie?

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

He denied and covered up Rob's substance-abuse issues for YEARS before finally hustling him off to a rehab spa when the media got proof. It is an obscenity that Doug Ford could emerge from that experience without empathy or compassion for those who are struggling.
