Wab Kinew's gov't tabled bill 50 in Manitoba that won't allow any future provincial gov't to use the notwithstanding clause for provincial legislation without going through the courts first. This is what a true leader does for his constituents. Alberta's and Quebec's leadership pale in comparison.

LLM AIs have already proven to completely fabricate information, and are now consuming product from other LLMs, which is further degrading all systems. This is a failed experiment that Profit can't let go of yet - just like Big Oil has been for decades to our collective detriment.

AI-related data centres use vast amounts of water. But gauging how much is a murky business

As tech companies spend billions on data centres, citizens around the world are starting to push back

AI uses too much electricity and water and should have their own grids, dams

Thirsty AI data centres are coming to Canada, with little scrutiny or oversight | CBC News
Canada is poised to join the data centre boom. But as such projects face greater scrutiny around the world, there is little debate here about what this will mean for the country’s water.

Looking east down the road just a few minutes before sunset.
Looking down a dirt road to a thunderstorm. There are trees and tall grass on either side of the road and under the canopy sunlight is peeking through the trees at a break in the trees on the left side of the road. Above the trees is a large thunderstorm with billowing clouds of gray, white and amber. Some blue skies are visible above the storm and to the right of the trees on the right.

Good episode for me today. The number of times I have thought those smarter than myself will get us out of messes, sitting in freeze mode, best come to an end. Apparently many of them are likely sitting in freeze mode. “We need to see the intellectual class speak up more.

I’m an uphill trail wimp, but sometimes it’s worth the effort for views like this!

View from a high bluff overlook of a rocky coastline where green foliage covered mountains meet a gray beach and the ocean with white-crested waves. The sky is a cloudy blue overhead.

Happy weekend #BlueSky friends, enjoy your Saturday :)

the golden sun glows,
its reflection illuminating calm water

The sun reflected in its entirety on a calm lake, creating a serene, golden glow. Tall grasses and rocks frame the foreground, enhancing the tranquil scene.

Just east of Lóndrangar, the Snæfellsnes coastline reveals another striking scene — the basalt cliffs of Arnarstapi standing strong against the roaring sea.

Powerful ocean waves crash against the dark basalt cliffs of Arnarstapi on Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The jagged rock face, with its column-like formations, rises sharply above the foaming sea, while mist and sea spray fill the air. In the distance, a few small houses sit on the windswept coastal plain under a grey, overcast sky.

The rugged coastline of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula — a place where nature shows its raw and powerful beauty.

A dramatic Icelandic coastline under a moody, overcast sky. Dark volcanic cliffs and rugged rock formations rise sharply from the Atlantic Ocean, with waves crashing against the black lava shore. In the distance, the twin sea stacks of Lóndrangar stand like ancient sentinels, framed by windswept grass and moss-covered cliffs in the foreground.
