So since I was laid off from my job, there's always been something next. My brother was visiting. I didn't need to worry because I had some severance. I was going to the UK. It was Christmas market season for the mini biz. I had contract work to do over the holidays.

Eat those treats. Use those office supplies. Burn those candles.
Did you get something really *nice* for Christmas? Are you saving it?
STOP
Eat it. Slather yourself in it. Spray it on a random wfh Tuesday. Use it next time you have a meal. Make up an occasion and use it.
Whatever it is don't hoard it until it's near its use by date or too precious.

Drivers are never asked to justify their infrastructure, but bicyclists (and pedestrians) are constantly forced to defend why their infrastructure is "necessary"
Bike lane with low traffic is often considered unnecessary and underutilized.
Car lane with low traffic is considered luxurious.

Jon Stewart too. Sigh.
Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

The "can't say no" shit is already cause enough to drown the developers in the river, but note how the AI "girlfriend" always looks about 15 or 16 years old. I'm sure that's a total coincidence.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

You won't hear many fond remembrances of Bridget Bardot coming from the Arctic. Her activism caused hardship, poverty and death here. On top of that, she was super racist. I highly recommend watching the documentary Angry Inuk to learn more about that history.

Are Canadians still boycotting the US? I have no plans to go there, even though Alaska is so close and one of the few drive destinations. I see a lot more trips there nowadays. I can’t say I have the same aversion to US grocery products. If I have a choice I’ll go elsewhere, but I won’t abstain.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

In case you were curious, it is finally above -30c here to -23c. It has been snowing for about 24 hours and is supposed to keep snowing for another day or two.
Of note - the average temp this time of year is a high of -13, low of -22. So we are still on the cold side of things.
