Who is Carney’s industrial policy really for? The LNG industry is an economic loser for Canadians that deepens our economy’s structural problems rather than resolving them. #cdnpoli #canada canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

A peaceful moment at Goldstream/SELE₭TEȽ River, a vital salmon-spawning ground and traditional fishing area for the #W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, who under the Douglas Treaties, retain the right to hunt and fish there. The river supports #salmon, eagles, bears, and other wildlife, and flows into #Saanich Inlet.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

I once saw a mermaid on a beach in southern #Iceland.

A colourful river braid on a black sand beach with some tufts of grass on sand dunes just visible. There is a grey sea on the right, some brightness in the sky above some islands, miles in the distance. The river is yellow, orange, turquoise and is shaped a little like a mermaid with her hear and arm thrown back...

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

It’s been a difficult year for working people. We’ve seen the growth of wealth inequality during our crushing cost of living crisis, disrespect from government at every turn, and the longest public service strike in B.C. history. Yet when things seem at their darkest, solidarity shines brightest.

To anyone who does not live in Paris but visits the city at regular intervals (as I do), the transformation has been staggering: Paris has been reclaimed from cars. It can be done, and could be done in London too. It is all about political will and taking the risk of being unpopular - for a while.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”
