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

I'd say Labour Day. Weatherwise, it might feel like summer later into Sept/Oct, but school is back so buses get busier, the choir season starts again, it just has a new beginning feeling after Labour Day.

I'd also pick more sun in the evening over the morning. All I'm doing in the morning is going to work, I don't get to enjoy that daylight anyway.

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

Laysea Shur
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.

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"
