I don't know what I did to trigger this, but this tv now plays Xena on demand, right from the menu screen.

Never really expected to witness the collapse of an Empire in my lifetime. Now I've gotten to witness two.

"Contrary to popular belief among separatists, Alberta doesn’t “subsidize” the rest of Canada. In fact, its workers get more from federal programs than they give."

Instead of Japanese knotweed, you could always choose bamboo or kudzu or giant hogweed

#japaneseknotweed #bamboo #Kudzu #gianthogweed #datacentres #ai #artificialintelligence #environment #gardening
Warning sign: Public service announcement: Do not plant Japanese knotweed near data centres. A root piece as big as a finger can spread rapidly to become a major risk for the foundations of the data centre and are extremely difficult to remove. Please choose responsible landscaping alternatives. Thank you for your cooperation. This message has been reviewed by absolutely nobody.

The AI doomerism being pushed by the tech oligarchs is meant to reinforce the idea that AI is inevitable, unstoppable, and impossible to regulate.

But it's not. It's just going to require that we go back to global cooperation, hard as it may sound. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Reining in AI will take international co-operation.

- “ and implicate the honour of the Crown.

The secession of Alberta, in short, is a non-starter, both legally and politically. We might as well acknowledge that now and stop wasting our collective breath – and feeding the beast – by treating it otherwise.” […]

“…the fact that Albertans have no plausible claim to peoplehood whatsoever would, unlike in the case of Quebec, deprive Albertan separatism of sympathy elsewhere in the land. Canadians would be in no mood to negotiate dismembering the country to satisfy the whims of unpatriotic malcontents whose […]

“ If Hellebuyck thought the Jets should have been better last year, then maybe he should’ve tried being less crap himself. Having not done that, the acceptable reaction isn’t, ‘I can’t quite reach the eject button. Can you push it for me?’

This would be a garden-variety story of entitlement […]

“Nobody forced Hellebuyck to pick Manitoba – which, it isn’t often enough said, turned him into the sort of local icon he would never have become anywhere in the U.S.

But having made his choice, Hellebuyck can and should be forced to live with the consequences of it. If he […]

2.7 million hours of time spent writing applications for an extremely scarce resource - and failing. There were a total of 21,627 applications. Then add on top the time to evaluate all of these.

This is what we accept to enforce the ideology of meritocratic, market-based competition in […]

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport.

She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury.

It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players.

They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case. Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.

Whether it’s sex assault victims or war where children are intentionally murdered every day, the #NHL is morally bankrupt over and over again.

Ovechkin is a disgusting coward at best or a criminal complicit in Russia’s war crimes at worst.
