If you're wondering what brought the world's richest man to say this it's the suggestion that poor people shouldn't have democracy
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · last wk.lol, annnnnnnd there's the nail in the coffin, if there was still any doubt:
It's been said by other people, but that tick of being so confident in yourself that you don't see how much you reveal when you do something like this -- how thin skinned, how petty, small & vindictive you are, how dull -- is a feature not a bug of humanity. We know to stay away from these sorts.
Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · 6d agoReceived this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct
Update: Google just sent me a statement saying it is “rolling back” this AI feature that let anyone make completely bullshit satellite images. Comes after our demos of the tool and those from OSINT researchers. One of the worst AI tools I’ve ever seen bsky.app/profile/jose...
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

A great history of the big promises of carbon capture and the equally big failures of carbon capture technology to achieve much of anything.

Meanwhile, in Canadian mainstream media.... I searched CTV News, CBC News, Global News and the Globe and Mail for any coverage of Shopify in the last 24 hours. Nothing (except business reporting from the Globe, nothing on the CEO suggesting poor people should have less of a say in our democracy)
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · last wk.Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Musk was humiliated in his interview with The Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes. She called him out on his bullshit, pointed out his lies and ignorance and extreme prejudice. We need more interviews like that. This is the response of the world’s thinnest-skinned man.
This utter muppet of a conservative Canadian politician in New Brunswick forgot to remove the LLM text from his floor speech and read it out loud.
This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoRep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

Jeremy Appel 🍉@readtheorchard.org · 4w agoNEW from me: I took a deep dive for @ricochetmedia.bsky.social into the American hedge fund-owned Canadian newspaper chain that’s pushing anti-trans, pro-genocide and climate science denial narratives down our throats. ricochet.media/media/dumpst...
NEW: At a certain point, one must inevitably concede that Carney's concessions to Trump aren't concessions at all, but shared priorities. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...
Mark Carney, CEO of Canada Inc.
At a certain point, you've got to admit the prime minister is making all these unrequited concessions to Trump because he wants to.

A majority (61%) of Albertans say they do not want taxpayer money to be used for a new pipeline, with even more (67%) saying they think the province’s economy is too dependent on the oil and gas sector. More support than oppose federal action on climate if AB isn't doing enough.

Shocking: under the Liberals’ "Buy Canadian" procurement policy, more than 70% of contracts have gone to foreign-owned subsidiaries. What's the point of a "Buy Canadian" policy if Canadian taxpayer dollars aren't supporting Canadian-owned companies? Canadian businesses and workers deserve better.
🚨 How to search for Parker on your property 🚨 Many people have asked what we mean when we ask residents to "check their property." In this video, Sergeant Chris Martin demonstrates how to properly search areas where Parker may seek shelter.
A new Chamber report estimates Alberta separation could cost up to $62B a year, thousands per person, and put 175,000 jobs at risk. There's a reason the Bank of Montreal is no longer headquartered in Montreal. Political uncertainty has real economic consequences. calgarychamber.com/whats-new/re...
