I do think it’s important that we draw the distinction between “feeling unsafe” and “being unsafe” because these are two very different things.

I’ve got problems with the Major Projects that increase fossil-fuel use, and emissions. But bringing back passenger rail—the greenest form of long-distance overland travel? I’m all in.

This is an outstanding refutation of PM Carney's double-speak on proposed Canada Labour Code amendments, from Colleen Bauman and Mark Rowlinson: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont.... Previous misuse of Section 107 would be codified & routinized, even though it's still facing court challenges. #canlab

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak
Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.

I will continue to insist that, at the federal level in Canada, "can you legitimately implement electoral reform without a national referendum and, if not, how do you live with the possible results and ramifications of that referendum?" is the actual most important question about electoral reform.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

85 yrs ago OTD the Nazis began their horrific massacre of Jews in a ravine outside of Kyiv called Babi Yar. Over a 3 day period they executed over 33,000 people and then using Russian prisoners they buried them in a mass grave there which was only uncovered later by Russian forces.Never forget😞
