I guess it's as good a time as any to remind folks that some of the orgs pushing Alberta separatism are educational initiatives and are not subject to foreign funding prohibitions. 🤔 thewalrus.ca/the-russian-...

I was wondering when someone would figure out who is behind “Rise of Alberta”: “…the same email address was used to set up the Rise of Alberta website … and the website for one of [Freedom Convoy lawyer and spokesperson Keith] Wilson’s companies and the site for the Alberta Transition Council”

It’s the biggest Alberta separatist account on the internet. It shares DNA with a movement leader | CBC News
The account Rise of Alberta is anonymous and drives four times as much engagement as the next most popular account.

I genuinely think heads should roll at the city over the choice to grant this permit. In part (not the largest part) because there is zero chance the city permit was anywhere close to worth the value of this airspace as a literal goddam billboard over the most expensive real estate in Canada.

BREAKING NEWS: The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY! At my direction, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, working closely with Highly Respected Interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and, through a partnership with private business, have secured majority U.S. control of more than 65 BILLION BARRELS of proven Oil Reserves in Venezuela, at no cost to the American Taxpayer. This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity. This Transaction will greatly strengthen the already growing relationship between Venezuela and the United States! Thank you for your attention to this groundbreaking matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

My read as someone who has dealt with Trumpland? They were headed to a deal. Someone (probably Lutnick) poison pilled for commercial reasons. Trump may not have been aware of the consequences. Possible he TACOs before market open. There will be moments like this as long as Trump is president.

I've been waiting for Tidal to figure out its position on AI-generated music. It finally has, and it's pretty good: -AI labeling -No using AI to impersonate real artists -AI music won't be monetized support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/art...
Our stance on AI-generated music
Hi,
AI music generation tools are changing how music is created and distributed. As this technology evolves, Tidal is introducing platform standards to protect artists, their craft, and inform listeners.
Here are the highlights of our new AI Policy:

    Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an "AI" badge next to music we detect as wholly AI-generated.
    Tidal will not tolerate AI-generated music that impersonates an artist or group, or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We're implementing automatic tools to remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.
    Tidal will not allow music that is 100% AI-generated to be monetized. No royalties will go to such releases, nor will AI-generated uploads be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.
    We will expand these policies to music that is substantially AI-generated when AI detection technology is sufficiently reliable to do so.

You'll start seeing these changes from July 15.

The. Facts. Still. Matter.
Correction request » Luke LeBrun <llebrun@pressprogress.ca> to letters, mjarvie - Good evening, I'm getting in touch about a factual error in today's Rick Bell column, titled "Fawning over Justin Trudeau is nauseating, hail the star of junk culture" https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/bell-fawning-over-justin-trudeau-nauseating-star-junk-culture In his column, Mr. Bell writes: "Talk about sweet. Perry kisses Trudeau. Perry posts a sweet picture of Trudeau. They're eating ramen and drinking out of plastic cups. Wow!" In fact, the food Mr. Trudeau is eating is not ramen, but "wok-fired soba noodles" as you can see in the image below. The soba noodles in question were sold by a food stand called "Island Noodles" -- here is their website. I should also note that ramen is typically served in a broth. If Mr. Trudeau were eating ramen out of a box, as Mr. Bell suggests, it would likely be leaking all over his jeans.
