Dreamt that I bit my tongue. When I woke up I had, in fact, bitten my tongue quite badly, so dreams do come true.

If you genuinely believe that libraries negatively impact book sales, I don't even know what to say to you.

Neighbours across the street were having a very loud outdoor party. Lots of literal shrieking and yelling (joyful). And it stopped at the dot of 10pm. I'm kind of impressed.

I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean

"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

Calgary Public Library announced they brought in an AI slop maker for their "Creative in Residence" and they are getting EVISCERATED for it, you love to see it. #yyc

Facebook post from the Calgary Public Library, from June 29, 9:35AM

The Library is pleased to welcome Paul Freeman as our 2026 Creative in Residence and first AI Collaborative Artist.
During his residency, Paul will share his creative process and invite the community to look at art in a different light.
Read our latest Library News story to learn more about Paul, his work, and what to expect during his residency: https://bit.ly/4f7Z2hY

‘Artist’ is a very generous word here

Veronica Murphy
Still nope on this

Tank O'Toole
I would think that librarians would understand the importance of protecting intellectual property rights.

Vanessa Anne
Tank O'Toole I suspect the UCP likely have some of their people on the board for this Library because they are definitely doing their best to push AI despite how harmful it is to everyone

Ew.

Mhia Rovanne Cruda
to choose an AI collaborative artist out of all the artists out there is a crazy choice

Nolan Isbister
Congrats, youre the first public library id support cutting funding to

Jen Taylor
I cannot even fathom how this idea made it off the drawing board… absolutely flabbergasted honestly.

Jocelyn Ann
Wow. This is so disappointing. I thought a library of all places would know better than to support an AI "artist," considering AI is trained off the stolen artwork of real artists. There is no AI art, there is only AI slop.

Stefan C.R. Smith
This is not it guys.

Red Helgemo
Very disappointing to see from a library of all institutions

Payton Blair
This is embarrassing and deeply disappointing. And honestly, terrifying. Our planet is dying. This isn’t ok.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

"I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door" sounds so much more romantic than "I would walk from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Kitchener, Ontario for you"

After 20 years of having the absolute worst rental vacancy rate in Canada, the return of a healthy rental market in Victoria is absolutely blowing peoples' minds right now

A reddit post which reads: I've had some interesting experiences lately - toured a few rentals lately, and have heard a few times: "Make an offer."

I accepted one today - woohoo - and immediately my current landlord called me to decrease the rent by $250 as an offer to stay - this is a major rental company.

If you're in a spot where your lease is up, honestly right now I'd suggest giving your landlords a call. Things are feeling good!
