Capitalism creates conditions that make finding genuine human connection difficult, exploits those conditions with AI companions, and now poof. I sure hope people don’t have psychotic episodes over this 🫠
boy, looking at the AI boyfriend subreddit freaking out over the model change, and it really was a grossly irresponsible act to create a technology for lonely and suffering people to project onto without supervision or control.

RIP Jesse Jackson.
Here he is in 2016 riding into #NoDAPL camp at Standing Rock with great aplomb. He always did his best over many years to show up and support oppressed people in struggle.

Rest in power, Jesse.

Alberta had worst unionization rate in 2025

This shouldn’t surprise anyone though. It’s been like this for at least a decade.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Yesterday, a reader of The Alberta Worker sent in a $25 donation to support independent labour journalism in Alberta.

You can, too.
