Watching Mamdani campaign on things that would be good, but mundane here in Canada and seeing the Democrats recoil from his pending victory emphasizes how different our countries are.
The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout
The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

It would be funny if it wasn't so infuriating to see the seamless pivot from "CLEANSE THEM WITH FIRE AND BLOOD" to "Now, now as the great Bard of Avon once told us 'The quality of mercy is not strained but falleth..." now that it's known the shooter's family voted Republican.

A great piece about a great book. Heartbreaking, all the same. Brava @mollyjongfast.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...
My mother was a famous feminist writer known for her candour and wit. But she was also a fantasist who couldn’t be bothered to spend time raising me
When Fear of Flying, her autobiographical novel about women’s sexual desires, came out in 1973, Erica Jong was suddenly big news. But growing up as her only child, I had a very different experience

Gay powers restored something something etc. Still need to neaten up the beard a bit but I’m kind of embracing the bushier ‘stache. It blends well with the rabid raccoon dark circles under my eyes.

I’m a little annoyed. My company has started offering language training as part of our continuing education, so I decided to brush up on my French. After all my father was québécois, and I grew up speaking franglais in Montreal. I also got by quite well in Paris and even used it in BsAs.

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

I just had an epiphany about AI, machine learning (ML) and and LLM training, and why it’s resulted in systems that recommend a daily intake of gravel or adding glue to your pizza toppings.
