As scary as 'AI killing all humans' sounds, let's not forget that there are humans that can do the same thing—and we keep putting them in charge. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Anthropic researcher believes more than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans'
It is the latest in a series of increasing warnings about the safety threat posed by artificial intelligence.

Last night I had the worst emotional journey I've ever experienced due to a company emailing me. The fuck up came courtesy of @wealthsimple.bsky.social who emailed me saying I'd won $10,000 in their "Monthly Millionaire" contest. #wealthsimple #badPR #bankerror

I was reading up on this SpaceX IPO. S&P 500 is doing the right thing to not accelerate to the index. I think it's basically a con game for Musk. The world's richest man is manipulating markets to steal money from literally everyone.

#NationalAccessAbilityWeek is a reminder but, for those with disabilities, accessibility is daily life—not a one-week issue. If your business wants to be more accessible, there are practical ways to get there. Reach out if you have questions. #A11y #DisabilityInclusion #DigitalAccessibility
Text over an image reads: “Awareness is not the finish line. Accessibility work does not end after National AccessAbility Week.” The image depicts a finish line which is also a starting line, on a long empty road stretching into the distance. The word start is shown upright, but the word finish is upside down on the other side of the line.

Websites are public spaces, and need to be accessible—by law. Not just image descriptions and video captions. There are over 80 success criteria in the W3C's WCAG guidelines. It means better user experience for everyone, on top of being in compliance with regulations. #NationalAccessAbilityWeek

Making media accessible benefits everyone. Subtitles are used by: ➡️ 80% of Gen Zs, ➡️ 64% of Millennials, ➡️ 50% of all TV viewers. It's not just good, it's good business! This #NationalAccessAbilityWeek remember accessibility is not an add-on. It is how Canada works for everyone. Stats: BBC,Preply

#NationalAccessAbilityWeek is important—but those with a disability don't need a themed week to remind ourselves that barriers exist. It's an opportunity for Canadians to step back and ask if you're creating or ignoring a barrier. Accessibility is not an add-on—it's how Canada works for everyone.
An image with text that reads: "Barriers are still normal. 72% of people with a disability experienced at least one accessibility barrier in the past year. - Statistics Canada". The text is overlaid on a photograph of a post in front of a flight of stairs with a wheelchair icon and an arrow, indicating that wheelchair accessibility is elsewhere.

Being hard-of-hearing, accessibility is not an side issue for me. It affects whether I can follow a meeting, understand a video, or participate in a conversation. 27% of Canada is not a niche—it's a major part of the country. I'm proud to work for @scribewire.ca—making media accessible all day long.
Text reads: "Accessibility is not a side issue. 27% of people over 15 in Canada have one or more disabilities. That's about 8 million people. -Statistics Canada." A photo shows a group of 3 individuals in a café having a conversation. One individual is wearing a cochlear implant.

This is like an inefficient company. Let’s schedule a meeting to ask the question: should we schedule another meeting to ask a question? Except where a handful of the dumbest people at the company got together and convinced the CEO to add the question to the agenda, and she did just to shut them up.

Watching the 🇨🇦🇺🇸 #GoldMedal game from the ER was not on my bingo card. But knowing I would leave owing only $20 for parking, while millions of Americans go bankrupt from medical debt, was a good reminder that we still win where it actually matters. #CANvsUSA

The #Greenland talk, like the 51st state nonsense, is just Trump “Art of the Deal” negotiation theatre. Outrageous ask, relentless pressure, and drive the other side to concede something smaller just to end the spectacle. #uspoli

Whatever your opinion on Israel-Palestine: if you can't differentiate between the Palestinian people and Hamas, or between Jewish people and the state of Israel, you have no business feigning understanding of the conflict, nor of anyone's foreign policy on recognizing Palestine.

Listen—I've been using em dashes and en dashes – correctly – for a long time. Just because ChatGPT just figured it out, doesn't mean everything you receive that uses one is AI generated. Don't punish me for knowing my option keys—lest I have to become a double-dash person. #grammar

No surprises here—he wrote a book about how he negotiates. His "art of the deal" can be summarized as: start with unreasonable demands, throw a tantrum to wear them down, then feign making a concession to what you actually wanted. Like children do. #uspoli #cdnpoli www.wsj.com/world/americ...

The irony is that the #StanleyCup lives a block north of where the team with the longest cup drought plays. The Leafs will probably have to heist it before they hoist it. #LeafsForever (for some reason).

As someone with a disability, days like this mean an increase to the already daily reminders of how inaccessible some things still are. Particularly disheartening as a programmer, though, seeing this statistic barely change, knowing just how easy it is to make things accessible. #gaad #a11y

Ian Morrison 🇨🇦 @iandmorrison.com · 30/04/2025
Yes. If it is known that there is no chance (however unfair) that a preferred candidate will be elected, why would anyone knowingly make the choice that will certainly elect the candidate furthest from their political ideology? Electoral reform is hindered by many things—including the constitution.

Being upset with the self-righteous 6% of people who, knowingly in most cases, caused the election of several MPs who espouse the antithesis of the belief systems of more than 50% - including themselves - is a completely reasonable response.

Not what I said. Weird conclusion. JT made a promise he couldn’t keep, not one he didn’t want to keep. You can blame the British for inventing the Westminster parliamentary system if want. The issue isn’t why the system is broken, it’s idealists who can’t accept that it is.

Our electoral system is broken, and yes I know it’s not the fault of NDP voters. But, if you know your car is broken, and you know it’s going to break down on you, do you drive it into a bad storm with your family inside? Or do you get a loaner until it’s fixed? #cdnpoli @fairvote.ca
