Here is my latest at Substack! Canada's refusal to defend and support China shows that Carney's Davos speech was nothing but talk.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.
The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Overall: 28% laid off in the last 2 years
US: 33%
Design/narrative: 20% in the last 12mo (most impacted discipline)
48% said they haven't found a new job, and the survey admits these numbers are likely an undercount.
Fun fact: the survey would boot you out if you'd been out of work >2 years.

Just saw that the official accounts of the founder & even the app itself follow Greyzone "journalists" infamous for war crimes denialism everywhere that isn't Gaza.
Hard pass. Another app that tells me African lives don't matter. That's just Meta with a 🇵🇸 flag.

I see that Iranians are getting acquainted with the segment of the western left that believes that only massacres committed by US allies are bad.
The way they're gaslighting victims while criticizing those who were doing the same elsewhere...Exactly the same as their right-winger counterparts.
