Thing is, science KNOWS it doesn't know everything.

The Manitoba legislature has passed Bill 43, adding gender expression to the provincial human rights code.
In this doom and gloom climate, it's important to mark victories like this, to remember that despite the rise of the far right, we can still organize and win for 🏳️🌈 people.

Gentle reminder to anyone who needs it today: The more you use technology to replace the things you used to do for for yourself, the less you will be able to do them. That goes for writing, walking, thinking, communicating, making things, and all the things humans used to be pretty good at.

Whether you think you can, or think you can't...
...You probably have a justifiable reason, and frankly reducing people's success or failure to motivation and wishy-thinking shows a horrifying lack of empathy, or indeed a basic understanding of the world.

Seeing an unpleasant rise in the number of ads for AI writing assistants. One described itself as a 'muse' for novelists. 🤢

Using AI to create or edit writing? Short answer... Don't. — Praxis books, editing, poetry and publicity services
Using programs like Chat GPT to create or edit your work is a fast track to unreadable, un-saleable writing.

One positive thing to take from the last few years of politics is that there almost certainly *isn't* a secret cabal of Illuminati running the world behind the scenes. And if there is, they're not very hands-on with it.
