I don’t really care about gamblers getting hosed, but the Maduro trade was almost certainly a leak of classified info, of the type that could get lots of people killed. Interesting to see if there’s a real investigation, but if I was Canel I’d set up an alert

Not the most fundamental point, but Americans can’t be both unexceptional and the absolute worst. You need to pick one.

I’ve had multiple people in Seattle whip out “if you don’t like the weather here, wait five minutes.” For comparison, this is the current forecast

I think the only way you can write anything like the OP is if you’re the one who cares about bowls in the sink, or at least if a reader can’t tell who cares about bowls.
“The things I don’t personally care about should have lower salience” is more or less the whole ask

To effectively replace a teacher you need an LLM to have enough emotional juice that learners will put in the work. So far they've been playing on easy mode; onlyfans-type content is optimized to push emotional buttons, and users desperately want to treat it like a person. School not so much

Land acknowledgements also fit a common pattern of woke practice where they weren't ever going to last at their peak popularity, but their moment in the sun did do real work in shifting the culture. See also: pronouns at introductions, affirmative consent, people-first language

Lansdowne 2.0 was just approved by Council 15-10, and it's definitely worth taking note of the geographical imbalance on the vote.
The two out-of-place "yes" votes are Marty Carr (Alta Vista) and Stéphanie Plante (Rideau-Vanier):

There was a more niche (and racist) fabricated scandal about Ilhan Omar along the same lines, positing that since her kids call her ex-husband "uncle" the only explanation is that she had been married to her brother
