The holidays can be a really hard time for survivors/victims of stalking.
There are so many expectations to give and receive warm wishes, cards, gifts, etc. This can create convenient opportunities for our stalkers to reach out and for us to look unkind or ungrateful if we don't accept. 🎁💌

On this day to acknowledge the violence that is inflicted on sex workers by the state AND by individuals, we want to draw attention to the reality that sex workers are at increased risk of being stalked - hence why aliases are common practice!

Trump declares he is enacted a blockade on Venezuela until they "return the oil, land, and assets they've stolen from the United States."
This gaslighting is even worse than Bush demanding that Saddam Hussein "disarm his WMDs or the United States will invade," knowing full well Hussein had no WMDs.

The coming years are going to reveal a lot more waste on 'AI' like this by our governments, to the tune of 10s of billions squandered on appalling nonsense, all to make rich Tech Bros richer.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.

The gangster nature of the Trump regime has been revealed in the Trump security doctrine. This is a government based on race hate, extremism and shakedown politics.

The Gangster Regime Revealed
Any pundit, politician or commentator who thought that Canada could make its way through this so-called rough patch in U.S.-Canadian relations and come out the other end needs to think again.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.
Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

At the abbaye d'ardenne Kurt Meyer and his SS thugs murdered young Canadian soldiers. But the local people turned it into a shrine.They never forgot their sacrifice.
I was honoured to lay a wreathe to those young men.
We will always remember those who stood up to fascist hate.

In the Canadian war cemetery at Ravenna in Italy there are so many Canadian and Sikh graves. The Sikhs were side by side with the Canadians in the brutal battles through Italy.

As I regularly note, "AI" at this point is an umbrella marketing term for a bunch or generative/machine learning/other formerly differently-termed processes that (of course) have no actual intelligence behind them. It means nothing useful for how the underlying computing proceeds. Thus the quotes.
I love how you used quotation marks around "AI." If you've been doing that all along, I'm kicking myself for not noticing. It's a misleading or just lying marketing term and we shouldn't accept and repeat it without pushback. Generative LLMs are not AI.
