What is social media for? Remember all that 2010 garbage hype? Why are we even here? To endlessly gripe, grift, and gaslight? 🤷‍♀️🫤

And so the Liberals tried their usual “ Industrial Peace” garbage to oppress worker rights. CUPE and the Air Canada attendants put Carney’s Liberals on notice. That outdated law can’t be used to break workers’ Charter rights. Solidarity!

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It's fascism. You ask yourself, "why are they doing [thing X]?" Fascism. It's fascism. Fascism is infinitely stupider than we dream, while also being infinitely worse than we are ready for.

If we are talking the law of the law of genre and stick with Burkean motivations, then the essay is a form of social/cultural/historical evaluation that stratifies students into a colonial class system. The essay’s internal dynamic in Canada is SAE. Just flinging thoughts.

Sara Humphreys @saraventure.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Of course! Do yourselves a favour and take the ferry from Seattle. Goes right to Victoria’s inner harbour. However you get here, send me an IM or email my UVic address and let’s go!

Yes! Definitely needs study in North America. Your work raises questions - so excited! What about the French form of the essay? Also, AI can’t write an essay, IMHO. At best it’s “essay adjacent.” Not a genre shift but an exercise in disinformation.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

He’s going to win because those folks do not vote any other way. But what’s different in Canada is the respect for facts. The Cons are splitting provincially: BC and Alberta now have two conservative parties. It’s a matter for time for the federal cons.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
