Are any other Canadians who are following the Cornell 7 incandescent with rage at the parallels with the Hockey Canada case? And the complicity of the Knights, Oilers, Blues, and whole fucking NHL?

Yes. Fuck Carter Hart. And every other one of those rapist pieces of shit. They are a disgrace to our country, and the fact that they not only are not in prison, but are allowed to play in the NHL, is an indictment on our country and Hockey "culture" as a whole.

100% endorse this thread. I teach consent, violence prevention & bystander intervention for a living - It is my area of expertise. There is *no* evidence of the existence of an "Oops, my bad!" rapist. "Sexual assault is a miscommunication" is a myth without any evidence. It is an intentional act.

How many times must we say this? AI* software does not “go rogue” any more than your printer “got religion” when it stopped working Sunday. Software does not have intent or agency. People do. And this feels like some people might be exposed to liability. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/t...
Months before OpenAI’s artificial intelligence went rogue, two employees raised an alarm with top executives. They were ignored.

In emails, the employees said they worried that OpenAI’s newest artificial intelligence models were not being appropriately monitored during testing to gauge the technology’s sophistication and to secure the models, according to messages viewed by The New York Times.

It is now past 23:59:59 Eastern Daylight Time on September 28, 2026, & Canada does not appear to have updated the #Ebola quarantine Order in Council. So are folks now arriving from implicated countries currently under Schrödinger's OIC (not currently in effect, but could retroactively become so)?🤔
Screenshot from the August version of the OIC, reading "Effective period

16(1) Subject to subsection (2), this Order has effect for the period beginning at 00:00 Eastern Daylight Time on August 30, 2026 — but if it is made after that day, it has effect for the period beginning at 00:00 Eastern Daylight Time on the day on which it is made — and ending at 23:59:59 Eastern Daylight Time on September 28, 2026."

My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.
