You might think the demise of Unwell FC is fine, but think of the people in NWSL clubs tasked with removing all cross-branded Unwell FC material from their stadiums, physical advertising, and social media. That's 2-3 minutes of THEIR LIVES, people!

Canada is co-hosting the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. It is being incorrectly shared that is is the "first" World Cup held in Canada. WRONG! Canada hosted the 2015 Women's World Cup. You're welcome.

The thing about Vancouver wanting a world class art gallery is we already have one. The Museum of Anthropology combines two of the greatest visual contributions this land has shared with the world — West Coast Modernism and Northwest Coast Art — into a singular expression of this region.

This is so, so well-articulated.
People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

Anyone with a decent-sized following on a social media platform is both a customer and a product for that platform’s owners. Regardless of whether the former Twitter is banned in Canada, I don’t know how federal ministers can in good conscience be either.

I imagine a government's argument for remaining on Twitter would be that they should be communicating where people are, but... a) I would wonder how many people are still on Twitter and b) there is surely some limit on where the government feels it's appropriate to communicate.

Re-upping this column because the idea seems to be gaining traction. But I think I didn't go far enough in this: the government should obviously be deleting its accounts so as to not have their tweets appear next to CSAM. But it should also be pursuing charges against X and banning it in Canada.
