Putting a random intention out into the blueskysvere: as soon as it's safe for Canadians to travel to the US again, I want to attend the Austin Film Festival.

So has anyone asked Ken Sim or ABC for comment on their school board candidate using their phone to film a message while driving?

You would think that in a province where a kid shot and killed people at school because an AI chatbot encouraged them that a policy stopping AI in schools would be big news. But apparently not #bcpoli

I *worked* for an NHL team and many other hockey events, so I knew hockey and stats and all that, and whenever I was invited to be in a pool I literally picked players based on the funnest names to say. Because it's supposed to be fun. (Also I still giggle whenever someone mentions Clutterbuck.)

The Venn diagram of people who have seen the musical & Juliet and also love The Muppet Christmas Carol is probably very small. But I don't care. I thought of this and laughed and so I made it.

I'm still unclear on how you 'fire' a co-owner, and I hope a local journalist asks follow-up questions about how that works in a practical sense, and why the other owners didn't take action until now, because they must have known about his views.

Right? 🤣 I am confused as to how he was 'terminated' if he was indeed (one of) the owners. Also side-eyeing their Instagram page: genAI slop and Harry Potter trivia nights makes me think the rot goes deeper than this one asshole.

Accidentally clicked on an ad for some AI agent bullshit (was aiming for the tiny X to get out of there), and hilariously, the landing page it took me to to had one of those 'verify that you're human' captchas. What if I wanted an AI agent to sign me up for another AI agent, huh? What then?!? 🤣

"Promising Young Woman" was much maligned when it came out but judging by how many people are shocked by the Cornell 7 story, I think some of y'all should settle in and watch it.

Given the stronghold genAI slop seems to have taken on the cruise influencer community on YouTube, it's nice to see that not everyone has drunk the KoolAid (or Flavor Aid, as it were).

Small thing that made me happy: a cruise line I've sailed on many times in the past just posted about how they've supposedly 'integrated' with ChatGPT, and 2/3rds of the comments are from people who are anti-AI and think this is a really dumb idea. So that's something.
