Since ChatGPT came out in late 2022, over *half a million* tech workers have been laid off. That fact, and their voices, aren't really shaping the conversation about AI, and what "AI" really means in culture. So I started to get into it: https://www.anildash.com/2026/01/06/500k-t

Want to ride your bicycle? Study highlights rise of Canada's bike network
A new Simon Fraser University study has found that Canada's cycling network is growing, but not everyone is benefiting. Between 2022 and 2024, nearly 3,600 kilometers of high-quality cycling infrastructure was added across the country, with the largest proportional increases seen in small- to medium-sized cities. But one consistent finding across Canadian cities is that areas with more children and older adults tend to have less cycling infrastructure.

Today I have learnt about the deliriant history of the ultra-far right ex professor Enoch Burke.
The summary of the history is that while this guy was professor he refused to call by her new name a trans student, was finally fired, but keeps going to the school he was fired from in *2022*, and he has been arrested a number of times.
You can learn more about this case in this article from The Irish Times:
