Today is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. We remember those we have lost. We honor those taken from us by the residential school system and we honor those who survived, their families and communities. We will never forget and we will carry them with us.
illustration for truth and reconciliation day. the illustration features a wolf looking forward, standing with its pup who is also looking forward. there is a circle behind them with an eight point star dreamcatcher and three feathers. the words "EVERY CHILD MATTERS" are featured on the side of the circle

Ngl, it's fuckin weird to me that public personalities feel the need to communicate if they're in a relationship or not with another public personality. Like, I feel like that should be a normal boundary that it's no one else's business about who dates who.

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

Well we've had our first Steam reviews falsely accusing us of using AI art. One for a 2017 game, and one for a game where the art was made in 2022 by the same trusted art team that we used for years. We don't use it and these false reports suck.

Corporations are facing major "buyers' remorse" after replacing experienced workers w/AI. Surveys reveal 55% of employers who restructured their workforce for AI regret the decision due to drops in quality/lost institutional knowledge/declining customer satisfaction. www.forbes.com/councils/for...

Why Companies Regret Laying Off Workers For AI
Rather than moving to cut headcount, success with AI often starts by asking hard questions about which work genuinely benefits from automation.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Also caught up in this case: Elizabeth Soto got 50 years for "providing material support" to terrorists... by printing zines (which included feminist lit, anti-AI rants, and poetry about losing a sibling to cancer) and being in a leftist book club. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
After a three-week trial, a jury found eight of nine protesters guilty of “providing material support to terrorists”, among other crimes. For the Sotos, this “material support” included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club, the federal government argued. The couple had already left the scene by the time guns were drawn. All eight of the defendants sentenced so far have received unusually harsh sentences – 30 to 100 years – essentially life in prison.

At this point, it’s clear as day that Democratic Socialists are more in line with what most democrats want than the weak, sniveling, moderate establishment dems. You reap what you sow. They’re trying to frame this as if the party is being stolen, but it feels like it’s being taken back to me.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

Amberstar (1992) by Thalion Software was a CRPG that debuted on the Amiga and Atari ST, later ported to DOS. In this epic adventure, players start off with literally nothing (not even a class!) before embarking on a quest to save the land of Lyramion by assembling the Amberstar. (a wandering thread)
