Thoughts and prayers for Charlie. So sad that the mental health epidemic in the states is responsible for this. Terrible that nothing can be done to prevent these types of events.

There is no ethical way to use generative AI in a capitalist society.
Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E and their ilk are built on training data stolen from countless human creators, and corporations use it to avoid paying those same humans.
I'm not working with people who use it, full stop.

The US is bombing Iran because it wants its Antimony, not because of the so called threat of nuclear weapons (they have none nor are they making any). It's the typical ruse.

Someone needs to stop Isreal. Genocide, bombing civilians, this is insane.
The sane part of the world needs to stand up right now and throw the hammer down. Or else they will continue with even greater impunity.

Just a reminder that there is no such thing as "fire season". What we are seeing in Manitoba is climate change. It's only going to get worse because of our gross inaction.

My hot take is that parents who don't vaccinate for measles and their child dies from that deadly disease should be charged with manslaughter.
If you don't know, a child died in the states from measles and JFK Jr visited the parents where they blamed the health care providers.

I would HATE to own a coffee shop. I would lose my shit on everyone who bought a single drip coffee and then sits at a table for 4 for 3hrs with their laptop. Don't these people understand it's a business?

Interesting that as we watch the horror show to the south, our polls show we will vote in a Trump like con artist as well. Never underestimate the stupidity of people.

Where are all the democrat party heroes? Just sitting back in their mansions watching the country be taken over, the constitution burned. Obama is probably writing a beautiful speech with some fancy slogan. Pathetic and feckless.

Canada is part of the commonwealth: Aus, NZ, UK. Shouldn't we be asking them to join us? They have to know they are next, right?

So do I still need to explain to any of the Americans why we in Canada really care about who gets elected down there? Hopefully I'll never have to explain that again. Canadians should be allowed to vote since it impacts is so much.
