One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate
You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

If Mark Carney had told voters he planned to drop retaliatory tariffs in order to stay in Trump’s good books (as he just did today), Carney simply would not be prime minister right now

Ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine cannot be about the west going along with Trump's dreadful appeasement of Putin.

High court tells UK lawyers to stop using AI after fake case-law citations
Ruling follows two cases blighted by actual or suspected use of artificial intelligence in legal work
The high court has told senior lawyers to take urgent action to prevent the misuse of artificial intelligence after dozens of fake case-law citations were put before the courts that were either completely fictitious or contained made-up passages.
Lawyers are increasingly using AI systems to help them build legal arguments, but two cases this year were blighted by made-up case-law citations which were either definitely or suspected to have been generated by AI. Continue reading...

I need every single person in journalism to know that when they pull this shit, they erode their own job security. They will be next, it's only a matter of time.
Don't you want to be able to look back with pride on your work rather than having a career where you had to destroy other people's?

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.
If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?
