After watching ALL OF A SUDDEN ā a film that has so much to say about disability, capitalism, how austerity messes with care, specifically healthcare ā and how we regarded a statement about disability a week ago, Iām not sure many are equipped to understand the sheer depth of it.

Doug Ford making Ontario students pay the cost of the privatization of post secondary education.
UPDATE: turns out, the explosive growth in OSAP grants was led by just a few private career colleges: cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/oā¦
But instead of fixing the actual problem, the Ford government is making ALL students pay for its own policy failure #onpoli

You hear that, you classists? Not every restaurant owner can afford a chalkboard + fresh chalk.

Very saddened to learn of the passing of Soraya Roberts. @CoreyAtad has a tribute here where he's curated a lot of her writing:

Carney ran on a platform of massive increases to home construction + social housing, which has now morphed into a massive transfer of public funds to private developers to get dogshit coffin sized condos off their books.
šØ Mark Carney says Metro Vancouver has 2,500 completed condos sitting empty.
Developers don't want to sell at a loss.
So Ottawa and BC are stepping in with billions in infrastructure money, cutting development charges by up to 50%, and using financing tools to convert vacant condos into affordable housing.
Later, when asked if governments could buy unsold units from developers, Carney replied:
"You can do both."
Taxpayers becoming the backstop for the condo market? š¤

Many of the āAIā interventions mentioned here are the equivalent of paying for a gym that has machines that lift weights for you. I donāt mean itās sort of like that, I mean, in educational contexts, itās the exact same logic. Itās absurd in its face. I feel like Iām going insane
Jessica Winter has been raising her children to detest A.I. Then her daughterās public middle school began receiving Google Chromebooks, which came pre-installed with an all-ages version of Gemini, a suite of A.I. tools. āWhen my daughter, who is in sixth grade, begins writing an essay, she gets a prompt: āHelp me write,ā ā Winter writes. āIf she is starting work on a slide-show presentation, the prompt is āHelp me visualize.ā She shoos away these interruptions, but they persist: āHelp me edit.ā āBeautify this slide.ā ā
Proponents of generative A.I. in elementary and middle schools argue that such early exposure will foster digital-media literacy, and prepare them for a future in which most professions are steeped in A.I. But the technology also poses significant cognitive and social-emotional risks to young people.

especially in a moment when Canada's government is all about slashing arts funding, it's a good thing to preach the great possibilities of public funding for movies
and from a purely political perspective, even better when it's featured in starry-eyed American press

Why are Canadian media reporting on Canada Post as if they've all been given a script to follow? Journalists are interfering with the union's contract rat vote by parroting Canada Post management's talking points and telling Canadians that it isn't viable

It's a sad comment on the state of the TTC that having no elevator service anywhere, and hence an inaccessible subway system, is an "inconvenience".

Iām shocked nobody wants the hundreds of thousands of 800k 400sq ft living room/dining room/kitchen combos with paper thin walls and a sliding glass door for the bedroom (if it has one)

Comedians originated the gamer thing of demanding that what they do be considered important, vital, and serious art while also demanding you hold it to no standards whatsoever and donāt engage with the ideas it contains.
Dave Chappelle says he resents how "the Republican Party ran on transgender jokes. I felt like they were doing a weaponized version of what I was doing. Thatās not what I was doing."
"I was on Capitol Hill, and everybody ran up to take pictures with me from every congressional office. And I just take pictures with whoever asked... At first, it was CBC people. Then here comes Lauren Boebert and she said, āCan I get a picture?ā And I had already taken 40 pictures. I didnāt want to say no in front of everybody, but I didnāt know the phrase āI respectfully decline.ā So I just took the picture. And then she posted the picture and says something to the effect of, āJust two people that know that itās just two genders.ā Just instantly, like, weaponized or politicized. So I got to the arena, and I lit her ass up for doing that. And she should never do that to a person like me.ā (via NPR's Newsmakers)
