The idea that AI will solve our problems (hunger, pollution, climate change, etc) is a capitalists/technocrats "if all you have is a hammer..." pipe dream our problems are societal, systemic & we already have answers...folks just don't want to implement them how would AI answers be any different?

Not as blatant as how things have gone in the USA and the UK but still enough to be unnerving and cause for concern.

“Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada could have easily told the SPVM to stand down or use other tactics to de-escalate. Instead, and rather typically, she did nothing. “Why would she? She’s also clearly putting profit over people.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com. #polmtl

After having heard cis men say trans women must disclose their transness immediately in case they wants kinds (and it isn't transphobic!) one too many times, I am now instituting a rule that all cis people must present an up to date fertility test on first dates to avoid this issue. Problem solved!

Maybe an unpopular opinion... Musicians do themselves a disservice by not releasing their lyrics with their videos. I understand I didn't buy the CD with the lyrics book but from 99% of people you will not get extra interaction. They will listen to a fan vid or use a 3rd party lyric site.

Things Most People Don't Know About the Strike! - From Your Neighbourhood Postal Workers
Myths
1. Canada Post is "Losing $10M a Day."
2. Strikes Stop Essential Mail.
3. Workers Are Overpaid.
4. Mail Is Dying Anyway.
5. Canada Post Drains Taxpayers.
6. It's Just About Wages.
7. Canada Post Has No Alternatives.
8. Privatization Would Fix the Post Office.
9. Workers Are the Problem.
Facts
That number is padded with accounting tricks and one-time costs-designed to scare the public and blame workers. Pension cheques, benefits, and medicine are still delivered. Nobody is "held hostage."
Over the past four years, the cost of living has jumped about 16.5%, yet Canada Post's proposed 13% raise doesn't keep up-leaving workers and their families falling behind.
Letter mail is down, but parcels and admail volumes have exploded. Losses come from mismanagement, not workers' wages.
Canada Post funds itself and has handed over $1.5B to taxpayers. The recent $1B loan wasn't for workers most went to cover bond maturities and other non-
wage costs.
-
Workers are also fighting unsafe
workloads, short staffing, rising injuries, pension threats, and insecure temp jobs -while executives, including 15+ Vice- Presidents protect their pensions. CUPW already proposed weekend parcel delivery, postal banking, and green. energy hubs. Management blocked them
- then blamed workers for falling behind. The plan is to starve the service, declare it broken, then sell it off. Elsewhere, privatization meant higher prices, fewer services, and rural communities abandoned.
Management drags out talks waiting for back-to-work laws. Your neighbourhood postal worker is painted as "costly" or "unreasonable," while executive bonuses and mismanagement get a free pass.
