I got a text from Mark Sutcliffe’s mayoral campaign earlier and I *know* they got that number through hinky means because I would never sign up for his mayoral campaign emails. If the integrity commissioner wants to look into this illegal stuff, that’d be great….😒

I get antsy when I hear politicians say they want to reduce “red tape” because that term is so broad that I worry they’ll cut the necessary inspections and measures needed to keep people safe and protect consumers from bad investments. More homes are great - unless they fall apart immediately.

I’ve been reading August Clarke’s Felicity Complex and it is incredible. I’m not one for body horror, but the author writes such sublime queer feminist anti-capitalist rage and violence that I cannot put it down.

Sometimes I feel almost facile saying any of this,I think because I assume my audience already agrees, but it has not become any less true that ICE ought to be abolished, Palestine ought to be free, trans people ought to be fully recognized as their gender, and also that’s not a complete list either

speaking as a science journalist who is also a trained physicist, this is the FUCKING WORST POSSIBLE THING. This is the opposite of trustworthy. You can't trust a damn thing an "AI agent" tells you. An article needs to be unchanged between queries, or any change needs to be documented clearly.

This feels exceptionally egregious when it’s City of Ottawa vehicles doing it.
Two white pickup trucks parked in a bike lane; the closest one is also parked in the crosswalk perpendicular to the bike lane.A second angle of the first image, showing two City of Ottawa white pickup trucks parked in a bike lane and crosswalk. There is an elementary school behind them. In the foreground is a bunch of street signs saying “O’Connor St,” “Glebe Ave,” a one-way arrow, and a bright yellow pentagon to show that it is a school crossing zone.

I have been trying to not take stuff that my neighbours leave for free down in the lobby, but someone was giving away a bunch of small WWE figures and I would’ve blamed myself if I hadn’t taken this dude home. You could say I’d be…Unforgiven.

Suggestion: After dealing with good customer service provided by humans, send feedback to the company to let them know how good the agents were. Tell them how much you appreciate having a person to help you and maybe they’ll be less inclined to move to chatbots.

Trump wants permanent daylight saving time. Senate Republicans may not.
President Trump has called the twice-yearly clock change an inconvenient nuisance. But a House-passed bill to end it may stall in the Senate.

This whole thing is concerning, but I’m particularly worried about the “parental rights” freaks that will be coming out of the woodwork to claim that child abuse doesn’t exist and even if it did, they’d be well within their rights. 😒 That’s not a direction I want the Overton Window moving in.
