Oh my fucking god, will you stop AI-shittifying my work?!
(At least there is an option to change settings an opt out of AI-enabled features. But stop this, just stop).

As someone who writes primarilly science fiction, I'm quite used to write stuff nobody wants to read, so nothing will change, really.

Those injection-bruised hands ....

Yesterday I finished "A First Time for Everything" by Dan Santant. A lovely autobiographical graphic novel about a summer foreign exchange trip between middle and high school with plenty of awkwardness but also some romance.
It perfectly captures the state of an awkward but also self-aware pre-teen/young teenager, and the various international escapades depicted are both hilarious and touching. Also fascinating to read about international travel circa 1989, which in many ways was comparable to stuff I remember from late in the 90s: parents seeing you off at the gate; expected to navigate a foreign city with just a map, etc.
A really fun book.

Really should stop calling it personal computing and call it what is, mainframe timesharing.

"Russia’s export of liquefied natural gas from the Arctic is the last major financial artery keeping Putin’s war machine alive — and the G7 must cut it now, before it expands to become a #climate killer." #LNG #Russia

Details of the MOU as reported by CBC. Hot Take:
It's a sh_t show of oil soaked hopeium and climate defeatism.

- "both sides commited to net-zero by 2050” (implied via CCS) *(carbon capture and storage? should be Carney Can't Stop -- Emissions)
- industrial carbon price of $130 -- down from $170
*(Oil Industry - Very Poor)
- Alberta exempt from fed O&G emissions cap and clean electricity regulation *(Woop Coal! Let's Mine the Rockies!)

Since multiple Ottawa CBC reporters seem utterly incapable of understanding what First Nations groups are what in BC here are some facts about the Coastal First Nations. It has existed since 2003.
https://coastalfirstnations.ca/about/
"The Great Bear Initiative Society (a non-profit society under the BC Societies Act), also known as Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative (CFN), is an alliance of First Nations on the North Pacific Coast that includes the Gitga’at, Gitxaała, Haida, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’xais, Metlakatla, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv First Nations. " Their territories span on the mainland coast of BC from the top of Vancouver Island to the Alaska Border including Haida Gwaii.

No, shitty jobs with shitty pay are not "designed" to give teenagers a way to get started earning some spending money. They're designed to send fat profits to people who aren't doing the shitty jobs.
Minimum wage is a cruel joke. Fix it.
