I’ve seen this piece of art at the McMichael gallery, it struck me then as it does now, how giving and selflessly dedicated to community Indigenous people are, and how settlers just take without giving back, to this day. Read this short 🧵 today, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation w/ alt text
A sculpture in an encased display box of a hand placed palm down on a white surface, fingers slightly spread out. An Inuk person is emerging from the wrist holding a kudlik, a traditional, crescent-shaped stone oil lamp that provides essential heat, light, a way to cook food, melt snow for drinking water, and dry skin clothing.

By Pierre Aupilardjuk (b. 1965), 𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, 2016, smoke-fired porcelain. Gift of Marnie Schreiber, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, 2023.2.

To hear this two days before National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is appalling. This is the opposite of truth. It’s denial, obfuscation, erasure of the truth. And this is definitely the opposite of Canada Strong. #cdnpoli

This is pretty much me. I got Covid then health problems I had got worse *and* I developed new issues. Then my 2nd infection made all of that stuff worse *and* I developed more new issues. So yeah, Long Covid isn't just developing new health issues, it can also worsen existing issues.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Basically using LLMs and agentic ai is a massive security risk and no one should do so basically ever and these companies should be prosecuted for hacking. Also two-party consent should extend to all electronic communications.

Anecdotally, I’ve been in a packed Walmart, grocery store & hospital in the last 3 days and all had multiple unmasked people coughing, sneezing & sniffling At least the hospital tech had a surgical mask on when he sneezed at the other end of the room, better than nothing. Glad I had my Aura N95 on

I too believe this is why most healthcare pros don’t mask. They either don’t know many ways Covid damages the body & want to keep it that way so avoid reading any research, or want to believe no longer threat it was, so they can do their job without fear or wearing a visual reminder of their trauma.
