This is so poorly worded. I'm not even sure what they're after here.

I mean, yes. Most copyright holders just aren't stupid enough to sue their fans.

This is very poorly worded. It's not even clear what they're asking for. Are they asking for adaptation rights for stories, or are they just saying they won't be commissioning work based on stories anymore? Moral rights can't be waived here, period. Not sure about other jurisdictions.

This is the one I’ve got, but my favourite is the one with the recursive cityscape. It’s a shame that guy has gone all in on AI, though. Was it the deathburger illustration one? That dude’s work is great.

Come to think of it, the university novel of any kind is an extremely minor part of literary fiction. I’ve read very few. Many where things happen at a university or to students, but far fewer where university life or professors are actually central to the workings of the novel.

In the nearly 35 years I’ve been a serious reader, I’ve encountered it maybe twice, and my once in a a “major” book (Stoner). I’ve encountered the “old dude sleep with young subordinate lady” trope more generally, but way, way more frequently in SFF.

Concerns over privacy have led to calls to ban smartglasses in public spaces in Canada. According to the CBC, these products are being used against women, with reports of attempts to extort money from victims to remove humiliating videos from social media platforms.

This is it. The absence of objectivity is of course a given, but propaganda agitates and intensifies what's already there, it doesn't manufacture prejudices from whole cloth.

You could find your way along the Nova Scotia coast blind, just by timing the blinks. Every lighthouse flashes on its own rhythm, a set interval and colour no neighbour repeats. Sambro Island off Halifax has burned since 1758, the oldest working lighthouse in North America. #lighthouse #NovaScotia

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I can't even find the text of the bill. I know what they say is in it, but I want to read it for myself. My experience w/ some of their other bills tells me the press push and the contents won't align, but I'd like to actually see how.

A government that says things like "even unions want functional workplaces" as though that's a shocking thought gets serious side-eye from me when they tell me they're amending the labour code to "strengthen" the right to strike.

I remember when the government privatized most of the country's airports in the '90s. My dad got laid off! The only thing that saved him was the union helping him move to a new job. The Liberal minister who implemented the policy called it the "worst decision" of his career.
