There is no such thing as a non-human artist. This kind of sloppy personification itself speaks to some level of cultural bankruptcy --

There isn't going to be any end to this "AI artists" shit until people collectively get off Spotify and make intentional choices about what they listen to.

One thing I've noticed on Reddit: Google's surfacing of old threads on various topics has made necroposting (replying to an old/dead post, generally considered a faux pas) incredibly common. A generation of people who don't know what a forum is are remaking forum etiquette.

My first job was working on financial planning software, and when I used the mortgage calculator, I almost couldn't believe it. I learned the crazy amount of money you save by making an annual lump sum payment in addition to your monthly ones. It's literally life-changing.
Every reporter or financial analyst writing about the 'math' of a 50-year mortgage better include what the **actual** cost is to the borrower over time. It is a fucking joke. Show the full amortization schedule and how much one really ends up paying!!

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

A small poem emerges. It's been a while. Maybe the start of the usual winter poems? For whatever reason, Nov-Feb has always been the season where I get the most writing done.

I was a coms staffer at PSAC when the Harper government slashed the public service — a miserable time for everyone. All it led to was layoffs, followed by the fed govt hiring more temps and expensive consultants. And then eventually hiring back even more people. It takes humans to run a country 🤷♀️
