This Regency CEO is such a goddamn baby: "Wah, wah, the city made me clear the old building and then I went 'oops, COVID hit, not building this anymore' while I let it fester and rot away. Oh I put up a fence, look at how nice it looks!" Meanwhile, it's just a nasty empty blight downtown. #yeg

To other Canadian city mayors (@andrewknack.bsky.social since you're my mayor), do NOT give tone deaf statements like this putting the crux of community safety on pedestrians and cyclists after a tragic death by a driver! This is embarrassing coming from my old hometown. #hamont #visionzero

Sure, build more LNG as the country had its worst wildfire seasons on record the last few years (so far). This is a joke! We should be building wind and solar out, not more bullshit gas productions! China is doing laps on our grave right now with renewables. #cdnpoli

These will never truly replace caregivers and PSW's. My wife is a PSW and there is the whole social aspect of the job which all the eggheads seem to forget about. These robots can't comfort an old person in distress, it can't be empathetic to them, or give them true companionship.
Robots are cool, but have we tried just paying caregivers more?

Scott Kirsner, a columnist with our editorial partner MassLive, joins WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss a recent trip to the lab and the future of robotic caregivers.

These resolutions are so comically far right you'd have to be an absolute dullard/ghoul to agree with any of them. The UCP have absolute shit for brains if this is the garbage they're pumping out. #abpoli #yeg #yyc

Generative AI is the apotheosis of this process. It's praised for doing better than a human on certain tasks, but those tasks were *made for computer logic* in the first place.
The new world will try to convince you that this computer logic is more valuable than your human thought. Defy it.

The fact there are seemingly tons of Canadians that care if Canada Post makes profit is so beyond disheartening. Who cares? It's supposed to be a public service, it doesn't need to make profit at all! The feds should just fund them and eat the cost for all our benefit. #cdnpoli #canadapost
