We cannot afford to do this. Quite literally, the economic cost of investing in oil and gas now will be a colossal burden on future generations.

The pipeline announcement begins with Carney acknowledging, without a hint of irony, the “biblical weather” in Ottawa yesterday. Extreme weather huh? Like the kind exacerbated by climate change? You don’t say! Hm!!!!

reposting this because it's still a major story in MTL (at least en français) & i don't see any of the usual english-language outlets covering cdn police violence discussing or reporting the suspending (w pay) or reassigning of a whole nightshift for TAKING TROPHIES OF BLACK MEN THEY ARRESTED

“In other words, unwritten science is not just incomplete; it simply does not exist for the purposes of the field. When you look at it this way, the job of a scientist - having ideas, testing them, and persuading others they are right - turns out to be, fundamentally, an act of writing.”

Doing so will make research more reliable, trustworthy, and efficient, she said. “Robots work 24 hours a day. Your graduate students probably only work 20, so this is an advantage."

But seriously, distracted driving is a huge, lethal problem but the way y'all engage in surveillance culture is wild. We could eliminate flashy screens and all the bells and whistles and curb a ton of bad driving habits without driving a panopticon on 4 wheels.

Hey US Air Force targeting analyst, if they’re saying “find me all the desalination plants“ that’s a big old illegal order and war crime target and you don’t want no part of that

Someone just posted about how they don't care if their students use AI as long as the text conveys the ideas the students meant to convey. The thing is, you don't know exactly what you think until you write it. And if some prefab thing pops up, you're liable to decide that was what you thought.

“Overall, the study participants who saw the biased AI text shifted their positions toward those espoused by the AI.”

"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!" Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

Hegseth: "The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objections with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more."

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

As good a time as any to remind people that the vast majority of deaths from the Iraq war were due to preventable disease from destroyed infrastructure and sanctions.

You can rest assured that someone w/ administration ties will make bank from this directly and also that from now on the private sector will be even more prominent in the provision of a public good - information - w/ all accompanying inefficiencies & inequities. Really selling the country for parts.

obscene. as alan richter says in the article: the officers would have known through that encounter that she was a lawyer. impossible not to see the confluence of anti-black racism, misogyny, & unchecked police violence so familiar to the criminal system, now turned against one of its members.

in addition to what de melo notes here that defence lawyers may stay late because JUDGES ask us to--if you're in court daily, you start to recognise the faces of the other ppl who work there. are we supposed to believe the officers who (allegedly) assaulted her didn't know who riley was?

You genuinely can’t get much closer to winning the World Series without doing it. That Blue Jays run was incredible, and nothing that came before today was invalidated by that result — but a win sure could have elevated it.
