Curious what people think. So Jeffrey Archer made millions selling books which involved teams of editors working on them. I'm just wondering whether that is really any different to contemporary writers using AI to edit? Thoughts ? #AI #writing #artificalintelligence #jeffreyarcher

There isn't a trade war, it's a trump war, and yet another mess he has made that the Democratic President will have to clean up and make amends for. Vance will be impeached too- all he seems to do is take his family on a trip around the world, in 80 days, on our dime. Enough of these selfish dicks

Coordinated consumer behaviour can alter corporate supply-chain decisions If Cdns choose to not buy US grown produce & grocery stores suffer repeated losses from spoilage, those grocers will shift to local or non-US suppliers. Time for govt to legislate grocers to label produce origins. #BoycottUSA

Maple Scan is an app that lets you snap a photo of any product to check its Canadian ownership, manufacturing background, and local ties and whether it meets "Product of Canada" criteria. If an item is foreign or tied to external tariffs, the app suggests homegrown Canadian substitute #Pinks

The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.
