rounders is insane. mike loses 30k gambling, swears to quit, resumes, his girlfriend leaves him for lying about it, he gets beat up and his life is threatened, and then at the end he's like, "this is my destiny, i'm going to vegas." i don't think that was supposed to be the takeaway here

Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Carney said his government “was elected to change things, to build Canada Strong, and we’re doing just that.” I definitely don’t remember him campaigning on a new oil pipeline!! “Investors should know that when Canadians want something built, Canada will get it built.” And when we don’t?

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.

This story is a big deal. Please give it a read, even if you need to sign up for a one-dollar subscription. This tactic — manipulating chatbots as a backdoor to human beings — is only going to get worse, and Alberta separatism appears to be just a testing ground for these people.

AI makes children better at doing their homework but 20% stupider so it's impossible to say whether it's good or not
Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

Instead of fighting against predators who cause the drug poisoning and homelessness crisis - in the streets and in the mansions - Ken Sim and ABC are scapegoating the vulnerable, and spending $500,000 in public money on their re-election campaign. It's a cruel gimmick. And an insult to voters. 1/
Predators push poison drugs in the street for profit,

Ken Sim pushes poison politics to hold onto power.

Ken Sim's poorbashing plebiscite is an insult to voters' intelligence.The plebiscite makes zero sense.

Spending $500,000 in public funds on a vote to scapegoat and divide for his campaign.

While cutting your public services.This isn't the first time Ken Sim used public money to help his re-election.

Dailyhive: ABC Vancouver and Ken Sim accused of using City funds for partisan ads

Image: Ken Sim's partisan message to voters in the 2026 Tax NoticeKen Sim and ABC are spending $500,000 on a referendum to hold THEMSELVES accountable for 4 years of failure on public safety.

City of Vancouver report:
"In Vancouver, the number of people experiencing homelessness reached 2,715 (up 12% from the 2023 count): 763 respondents identified as unsheltered and 1,952 people were staying in sheltered locations, including emergency shelters, detox centres, transition houses, and hospitals or police facilities, with no fixed address. The Count data highlights that respondents who identify as Indigenous, Black, women, and/or seniors homeless for the first time are at a disproportionate risk. "
