It’s Banned Books Week, and I had to unsubscribe from a Google alert for my wife’s name because her beautiful book was so frequently showing up in banned book lists. It’s a non-fiction book for kids about gender. Inclusive of all kids. Not just trans kids, all kids. www.amazon.com/dp/125030295...

The lie gets repeated. Democracies are where the most people have the best opportunity to find what they're good at. That leads to efficiency. Dictatorships are where the boss' buddies get bribes and patronage appointments, and skill is secondary. That is inefficient. (Free school & UBI, please!)

so the alberta seperatist movement was entirely a false flag op, organized by the US state dept, in exchange for promises for alberta resources I'm thankful today for impartial reporting in my country that is free to discover and publish these things. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

#Canucks WIN again in the ROG! They won our appreciation for their efforts. This season those are the biggest wins. Jimmi explains the acceptable loss to a fresher and stinkier team. Also explains the meaning of life, without actually explaining anything. nucksmisconduct.ca/game-recap-4...

Okay, now for six on the road. The #Canucks wanna go 0-6? Fine, so long as those losses are by a dozen goals in aggregate, max. Eyes on the prize!

Good response by the Canucks. That's what I like to see! Goal scoring is optional. Pushing for them isn't.

I do understand there are more uses than this. It’s just funny that every AI agent video is like, “All you have to do is give a bot all of your personal, banking, and medical information and soon you too will know when your kids have a little league game!” Sure, sounds great.

One thing about playing as heavy as Calgary is: after a while, the refs are going to be afraid of making the calls look one-sided.

Best part of this muddled article by one of Bloomberg's money guys is that two of the charts make a compelling case that knee-jerk opposition to AI is wholly justified because technological progress doesn't increase productivity, it just enables greater income extraction by capital. Oops!
