It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

Happy Thanksgiving! Cooking our turkey on the charcoal grill frees up space in the oven for other things. A pan of water under the turkey keeps it from getting dry, so it come out just right and with a faint smokey flavour. #thanksgiving #turkey #canada

There's something deeply restorative about a quiet, empty beach in October. An utterly still ocean blanketed by grey sky is pure, interrupted peace🕊️ I hope today brings you moments of tranquility🍂 #WaterWednesday #photography #nature #thoughts #words #dolphinlog #lifeisbeautiful
A stretch of beach bordering the pacific ocean which appears grey beneath a solid grey sky. A small rock formation sits in the stillness of the water. The beach is full of logs blanketed with fallen rusty/yellow maple leaves. I don't know about you, but I see a dolphin in one of these logs, it's snout pointing skyward. A quiet day at the beach with barely a ripple on the water & no wind.

Keller: "We dreamed that we could sideline a core national industry without undermining national unity or sapping our ability to fund social programs." Did we? Because I seem to remember taxpayers funding the most important pipeline for the oil industry and its profitability in decades.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.

Good one @thebeaverton.com! "Apology experts say that would be an impossibility at this point, due to the fact that Donald Trump is now the only person, place, or thing on this planet that Canadians do not and will never feel the urge to apologize to." Sorry, never sorry eh! 🇨🇦🤣

Trump’s tariffs aren’t talking points. They are real and causing serious damage to the Canadian economy and thousands of layoffs, and harming local businesses. So it’s sad to see border lineups of British Clumbians eager to spend money in the USA, rather than in Canada. #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

Boys will be boys. Locker room talk. It was just a joke. That’s just how men are. Not all men. Dear men, If any of those phrases are your response to SA and harassment, then you're NOT one of the "good guys". You're reinforcing the patriarchy, and are part of the problem. PLEASE take a stand.
My dear male friends,
PLEASE acknowledge in the comments that you have read this post. It's important to me to know where you stand.
-----
I thought the day I saw a million #metoo posts was heartbreaking. But the recent news of an alleged 2024 gang rape of a Cornell University student by a bunch of entitled frat boys makes me want to throw up. I've been queasy since last night.
(Don't know the details of this horrific attack? Look it up. Now.)
I need you to listen to me:
Not all men?
You're a good guy?
Prove it.
I need to see you post on YOUR timeline that you're committed to stopping rape culture. I need to know that you will:
• Call the f@cking police and report any sexual abuse or sexual harassment the minute you learn of/witness it. It's not that hard.
• Commit today to practice bystander intervention.
• Man up when you hear your friends--in the locker room, on the golf course, while watching football at your favorite sports bar--make lewd comments about women.
• Stop laughing at that disgusting joke your brothers, co-workers, gym buddies tell. And don't tell me you've never heard this type of sh!t. I know you have.
• Call out those who demean women. "Bro, that's not OK," is the MINIMUM you owe humanity.
• Talk to your sons! Hold them accountable to the above.
If you're not doing this already, or not willing to do it in the future, you ARE part of the problem, and frankly, I don't care to have you in my life.
You might never dream of hurting a woman, but if you stand by and watch or remain silent while others do, YOU'RE HURTING WOMEN.
Take a stand.
Do something.
Today.
Don't let what happened at Cornell and what happens every day at every college across the country continue to happen.
I'm counting on you to be the good guy in all this.

Imagine the reaction if Canada openly funded a movement to break up the U.S. Yet an American think tank is literally proposing support for Quebec separatists to “destabilize” Canada. No thanks. Canada isn't breaking up anytime soon, and certainly not because another country wants it. 🇨🇦
