To a Canadian, that painting is a picture of the face of God. (Metaphor alert - it is magnificent).

“Two high-ranking sources in PQ government confirm the American embassy in Ottawa has communicated with Christine Fréchette's government in recent months.” @mark-carney.bsky.social time to PNG Hoekstra. His office is actively trying to destabilize 🇨🇦. First Alberta, now PQ. ~275k 🇨🇦s want him gone

When this is ALL over, I’ll go to Buffalo, stay overnight, take a tour, eat out, go shopping. (Within the $$ limits allowed 😉). What a lovely gesture they made!

🇨🇦 here. Our lines are AT THE MOST ten minutes. Often none at all. Walk in, show your id. Get crossed off the voters list. Get a ballot and vote. I am baffled why the US has these lines. There are alternatives to this!

@google-maps.bsky.social Stop using Trump’s new name for Lake Ontario. It’s beneath your dignity. Or at least: Drop the Lake America to below the international boundary. Label the top half Lake Ontario. The world knows what it’s been called for 400+ years.

You probably can use your Kobo. I cannot directly down load from the library, but ask them how. Check YouTube. I download onto my laptop into adobe reader. Drop and drag it to my Kobo app and synch them. A few steps but it’s free!

AI would solve it at the micro level. (Mrs Smith says she’s not so lonely now). But dangerous at the macro level. No one was asked / expected / offered to visit her. No one gave. And that person lost out. We ‘drug’ the lonely with bots. No one plans to live that way.

GPS systems that ask, is that obstruction still there? I have to read the question, check the road ahead, determine the answer, look back at the screen, select the right response. WHY would they bake-in distraction??

As a fellow widow, I find that men of a certain age want a woman who will do what ChatGPT does for him. Choose dinner menus, come up with birthday cards, figure out what to do, research restaurants. And do it better bc chatGOT gets it wrong so often!

An absolute stunner of a piece by Ted Chiang in The Atlantic. This should (but probably won’t) be the final word on the subject. #AI 🤖 www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

Excellent help to understand AI and its ethics. We sell ourselves terribly short when we think that AI is thinking like us. Also, we are sending our most vulnerable (incl kids) to AI chat bots for therapy. They will act as if AI is human - they need real humans!

Good, frightening article. I did not realize the impact of transhumanism. Hardly heard of it before. The Pope’s encyclical is timely indeed. A deep counter argument.

No, I’ve read Beowulf. This is exactly the sort of thing ‘Kings of old’ did. Reward your loyal men with booty, gold, rings. Raid your treasury to do it.

4kids, 2adults in 1800 sq ft house. No basement. Bunk beds for kids. That’s how we raised our family in the 80s and 90s. You can do it if you accept the trade offs. 1st question: what is your priority. Big family? Do it. Totally worth it. Fancy holidays? 2 cars? Different story.

Also proud of the Cdn media. Two cameras, pooled feed, stood back, did not exploit grieving with close ups. Did not go up to people, waited for those who came to them. Respect for the people of the town.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has begun. Snow has arrived.

A light dusting of snow in a backyard. Its weight bows down the tall grasses and covers leaves on the ground.
