I’ve only been to Hungary once, and for a few days at that. I’m no expert and I can’t claim to a sophisticated understanding of its culture or its society.

But what I observed during a brief visit in 2001, only days before 9/11, has stuck with me …

My first thought is to ban the data harvesting and tracking of youth users, thereby preventing the algorithm from feeding them toxic content. Only let them see content they seek out and that their connected friends post.

And then I realize that that's also just what I want for me.

If a network holds a sport’s broadcast rights but doesn’t have a way for you to watch games on-demand, they shouldn’t be able to get a video taken down from YouTube or any other site.

I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.

I've said repeatedly that this is the bluest Liberal government of my lifetime but this kind of Conservative crossing the floor really kicks it up a notch. Anybody who still thinks of the Liberals as being what they were under Trudeau is not paying attention

Deep Impact has this shot, when the comet hits the ocean and the tidal wave is destroying NYC, of a guy sitting with his back to the wave reading the paper. I love it so much. He just decided he didn’t believe it was happening, I guess? Or didn’t care? Anyway. He is congress.

A color photo of Dale Hawerchuk skating on the ice during a game. He wears a blue Winnipeg Jets jersey with red and white accents, featuring the Jets logo on the chest and a captain’s C on the upper left. He also wears a blue helmet and gloves, holding a hockey stick as he looks ahead. The background shows a blurred crowd and rink boards.

Dale Hawerchuk was one of the greatest players of the 1980s.
During his Hall of Fame career, he put up incredible offensive numbers, on his way to becoming a hockey great.
In Winnipeg, he is nothing short of a legend.
This is his story.

Glad to see this person at least feels shame for their idiotic choice. Unfortunately their response to that shame is to ask people to stop being so mean so that they can avoid that shame rather than simply owning up to the stupidity and vowing to do better
