“Why is he trying to ramp up anti-🇨🇦 sentiment instead of just invading,” you ask? Because he knows it would be foolish to attack when 70% of his own population opposes it. Anyhow, please know Canada is not stealing fish. We have plenty off our ENORMOUS COASTLINE. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Canadian authors slam Meta for training AI using 'hugely problematic' program that pirates books: 'We're just "the little guys"'
“Piracy sites exist because many people are convinced books should be free. The problem is, for many of us, writing is our full-time living.”

President Trump’s tariffs are rupturing the global economy, and seniors are rightfully worried about their savings. My government will protect your retirement by reducing the minimum RRIF withdrawal amount by 25% and increasing the GIS by 5%, tax-free — for a year. liberal.ca/mark-carneys...

I’ve realized one reason I like Mark Carney is that he feels extremely…Canadian. There’s no BS manipulation, no pomp or bluster. He’s just a really smart guy who smiles a lot, plays 🏒, and wants to solve a large problem that affects more than just him. I hope Canada keeps our eyes on the prize. 🇨🇦

Canadians: Do not assume the Liberals have this in the bag. Ask yourselves who you want navigating this country through the next few years, if you’re on the fence. Be critical in your thinking. If you see rumours or inflammatory posts, do your research to see whether they’re true. Elbows Up. 🇨🇦

In case anyone hasn’t yet seen the letter from Senator Tom Tillis of N. Carolina to a U.S. constituent who expressed concern about the language re: Canada as a 51st state, read this. This is how they’re talking about our sovereign nation. Mention of “territory.” NO statehood. 🇨🇦

Sometimes, I wonder what it would take to turn them against him. Then I remember there were people dying from covid who cried out as they died that they didn’t have covid and it was a hoax. And I remember that it’s not about making them listen—it’s about DOING something.

It’s no coincidence that the book I just released takes place in a land where most people can’t afford food and the govt distracts them with public murd3rs of their common “enemy” and the book I’m releasing next takes place in a land where girls and women are traded and treated like pets 🤷🏻‍♀️

“I hate when authors are political” Me: Okay, I’ll just write about dragons then 🐉
Quote from upcoming book by K A Riley 

“It’s different on Pax’s side of the river. Over there, girls are practically pets. They wear red metal collars around their necks, and they have trainers and Handlers until they turn eighteen. Until then, they’re called “Darlings.” After that, as long as they pass their Socializing Exams, they’re called “Belles,” and they get to live without restrictions.
      More or less.
      They’re still prevented from having certain jobs, going certain places, or holding certain positions in society. They still have to answer to men and be alert and afraid pretty much all the time. And they still have to wear those red metal collars.
      It used to be like that on our side the river, too, but that ended five hundred years ago after the Dragon Wars. According to the old stories, dragons saved us, freed us, and gave us power.
      That’s why the Crystalbayers killed them all.
      So the stories say.”

If you’re entering 2025 with the hopes of ruining your business in an expedient manner, use generative AI instead of humans to do human work. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have we not learned by now that absorbing every horrible impulse and lack of filter displayed on social media means AI is, at its core, horrible?
