Like, we don’t need to invest in it, or use it. We don’t need a coke-fueled Clippy hallucinating summaries of our documents. We don’t need an incompetent robot suggesting ways to “improve” our art projects. None of this is necessary. But universities have bought in because they’re cash-starved.

This isn’t just a “they’re coming for all of us” scenario—though they are. It’s a call to move past whatever subtle discomfort you have with queer and trans spaces, because they aren’t gay enough for you. Soon, there won’t be any spaces left, so protect them now.

Prepare to be inspired by the emerging voices redefining Canadian literature. 📚 Our New Voices authors this year offer powerful portraits of youth navigating upheaval and longing. Wiley and Iryn join the 44th Sunshine Coast Festival of Written Arts on August 16 at 11:30 a.m.

When you think about how the media covered Biden’s mental acuity and then see this, you really see how horrible things are and have been and will continue to be.

#TheBeauty TV show started off strong but went downhill as soon as Rebecca Hall got infected. Also the “beautified” version of her is played by an actress who’s not nearly as gorgeous as Rebecca. I know beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, but I don’t know that casting did a good job there.
