Thinking of you today. I visited Mauthausen in Austria in 2024. It was a difficult experience and I didn’t have a family story attached to it. Can’t fully imagine everything you experienced.

We’re letting CEOs race to build technology they admit could threaten humanity, then trusting them to write the rules? JB Pritzker has the right comparison: put a high school ethics class in charge. They could not possibly do worse than these chuckleheaded clowns in White House.

In the latest episode of On The Line, Matt Gurney and @davidshipley.bsky.social talk about how AI is rapidly improving, and even after you exclude hype that comes before IPOs, there are things here, for public safety and even religion, that we must take seriously. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-hb...

Spent time with some of my fellow museum pieces at the Canadian War Museum. Pictured with me is the Cougar. That’s one of the armoured vehicles I trained to drive and be a gunner on. It’s also the one that almost killed me twice. Grateful to the museum for the free admission and a meal as a vet.

Embracing the first amendment and applying it to algorithmically derived speech is about it as good for society as using the second amendment to authorize high calibre machine guns in every home. You can do it, but prepare for the casualties, which may include functioning democracy.

You’re not thinking creatively enough. We just need to build EV‘s that are faster, better and can make loud obnoxious noises. We’ll have to sacrifice noise pollution for greenhouse gas reduction. Then we bribe Joe Rogan to tell these kinds of guys that they’re not an alpha until they buy one lol.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Woof. Given how many of them count on stocks and bonds as part of their wealth, as opposed to physical assets or money in the bank, a number of donors and highly influential supporters going to be maaaaad.

The Washington Post's tagline, Democracy Dies in Darkness, was dead wrong. It dies at 2 a.m. in social media screed with Ai imagery. It does not quietly, but obnoxiously loud. It dies not with just tears, but many cheering it on, because they got to "own the" others they disagree with.

At that time, the company committed to improving its practices, including by testing various means of wiping data, yet this most recent investigation revealed that some of the same problems persist 15 years later.

The results of the investigation were similar to those of an audit of Staples by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada that was conducted in 2011.

Can't wait to get @patrick.risky.biz's take on this mess: www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/... An investigation by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada into Staples Canada has found that the company did not fully remove users’ personal information from returned laptops that it later resold.

We’re going into 2026 with some of the world’s biggest social media platforms undressing individuals without consent, sexualizing minors and openly using chatbots that encourage suicide & predatory language. Not the greatest start.

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you: Take a moment to really see the older people in your life. Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible. Share a smile with an elder you don’t know. Offer a warm holiday greeting. Small gestures carry enormous power. Love,
