If you are Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, UK, Germany, and Spain we demand that you open an official investigation and counter intelligence operation to protect yourselves not only from Russia, but US and Israeli foreign interference. You are the main targets of the current Trump op.

Today is #orangeshirtday in honor stolen children, some who never made it home. Genocide is unfortunately not something new to human history. Its legacy still impact Native communities to this day. Every Native you know or meet has a story of themselves or an ancestor. My grandmother was a survivor.
Image in honor of orange shirt day with an orange hand print reading every child matters placed on a light orange background with small orange feathers.
Image text reads:
On September 30, Orange Shirt Day promotes awareness about the Indian Residential School system still impacting native American communities in the United States and Canada. Known as National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. The day honors the children forced into Indian Boarding Schools. In addition, the day also remembers those who never returned home.

Today, in Canada, is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Its watchword is that "Every Child Matters". It serves as a mandate toward inclusion, that ignoring the suffering of certain kinds of children & regarding them as less deserving of care & concern, is inexcusable & cannot be tolerated

Jivani was first elected at the height of the unhinged F-Trudeau era. He was re-elected before his riding knew what PM Carney's govt could and would accomplish. In a saner, more prosperous, and more savvy Canada, Jivani's political career should end with the next election. With luck, Poilievre too.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading.

What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.And I ——

I don’t really believe that to be true.

It’s completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you.

One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

But let me take the other side because I don’t want to fall into a thing where, because some skills can be safely offloaded ——

Yeah.

I also can’t get anywhere without a mapping system now. Never could, frankly. But I’m a big reader. And one of the skills I really value, one of the capacities I have that I really value is an attention span formed on physical books.

You’re a big reader. I’ve read about the kind of reading you do. And there is, prior to A.I., a lot of concern and noticing among college professors and others that the way people use the internet has probably shortened attention spans.
Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.

Yeah. Well, I think that we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers.

Today’s engineers are far better systems thinkers than I was when I graduated from school. But I was a much better transistor thinker.

What do you mean by systems thinker?

They think of large systems. Today’s computers have trillions, hundreds of trillions of transistors in them. When I first graduated from school, the first chip I worked on had 200 transistors. I knew every one of them by name. No engineer does that today. Most engineers now work well above the transistor, well above the functionality, and they’re cobbling things together to do things.

So you need to think much more about systems and interactions of systems. So some of the lower-level knowledge is gone.

The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
