This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Oil painting of a dinosaur, several toy green army men, and a coin, painted on a page from an old World Atlas. The dinosaur is on one side, the toy army men face off on the other. Both sides are facing each other. the coin is off to the side of the map.
The newest piece in my collection, painted by the ever talented @davidbrace2.bsky.social. Is it too on the nose to name the dinosaur Hormuz?
He deadnamed her and told her he'd take away her rights and then did and she still supports him
🔥 quote here from a pedestrian using the insane Mohawk & Upper Wentworth intersection. #HamOnt #VisionZero
"Everyone does have a responsibility for their own safety and the safety, especially, of the people around them when they're driving a multi-ton killing machine"
Here's Cllr (and mayoral candidate) Rob Cooper blaming crashes on councillors' decision to slow traffic and add bike lanes.
Meme. Image of the old man from Pawn Stars standing outside in a parking log with his Cadillac in the background. Text above the image reads "When I read Das Kapital and it's full of boring economic shit and nothing about transing kids or putting black women in video games". White text on the image under the old man's head "Those bastards lied to me".
A black chihuahua sleeping nestled in a plush red blanket.
A black chihuahua laying in a red blanket that is on a dog sized chaise couch. The dog's head is hanging over the edge, one eye looking at the camera.
Two years ago this little man was a stray on the streets of Texas. Today he won't settle for less than the sunniest coziest seat in the house.
A black Chihuahua laying in a small dog sized couch which has a plush throw blanket with a red velour side & a white faux wool side draped over it.
If we could all be so lucky as to have a seat as plush & luxurious as this 7lb dog in his chaise lounger.
Absolute fire from @theincline.email today about nasty homophobic piece of shit Kelly Oucharek running for council. Maybe the most despicable person in this city right now. theincline.email/p/the-rat-king
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
Something reminded me about your book again so I came looking for any kind of update and found this.
Did you end up getting the money from pledgers? Are we supposed to get that money back? Or is it just lost to the capitalist æther at this point?
I appreciate that, but please only do so if you can afford to wait up to a couple of months for the sale. If the opportunity comes up before I'm ready & you need the sale I want you to take it.
This is amazing, I love it. If it's still available in a few weeks I hope I can grab it.
A half page from The Reader's Digest Great World Atlas (1961) showing the north of a topographical globe (the Arctic, Greenland, Scandinavia, & Russia.) On it is painted a toy T-rex, seen from above, casting a shadow on the page. Facing it, aiming their weapons are 6 green, plastic toy soldiers. A Danish 1 euro coin is placed on the right edge, for scale.

City Hall to be decked out in construction-paper chains, popcorn garland, & classic red & white bunting as the city prepares to celebrate the 2 year anniversary of the Feb 25th, 2024 cyber-attack that helped the municipal bureaucracy & administration adopt a less-digital approach to doing business.
[It's unfair] the number of people who are expected to pretend they care about jobs they don't care about. I'm fulfilling my contract, you can't put in the contract "also you have to seem like you give a shit"; I think that's expecting too much.

Attached are the 3 year projected job prospects for electricians, janitors, & cleaners, posted in order.
Other uses for those spaces will be found, some of which would still need the services of those same jobs.
In many (most?) cases those workers are not employed by the company leasing the space.
Like I could give half a fuck about the health of corporate retail office space.
"Most companies" doing something means nothing & is certainly not an indication that said thing is good. "Most companies" avoid paying their share of taxes. "Most companies" exploit workers. etc
Fuck most companies.
Instead of negotiating a flexible remote work model that saves taxpayers money, supports local communities, and keeps cars off the road, the federal government forged ahead with the costly plan to open coworking spaces that didn’t even last 6 months.
Please understand that we have all the necessary hate crime legislation we need on the books, it is enforcement that is the issue. Bill C9 is an anti-protest bill targeting the people it claims to protect.

The Canadian Department of Pedantry issued a reminder for Canadians today:
If it doesn't come from Minister Champagne's office it isn't austerity; it's just sparkling neoliberalism.
Image shows Yves Engler on Jackson Hinkle’s podcast for an interview he titled: “BREAKING: ZIOINSTS ARREST CANADIAN ANTI-ZIONIST JOURNALIST”
NDP leadership hopeful Yves Engler went on JACKSON HINKLE's podcast 🤮
Hinkle is a huge spreader of disinformation, particularly pro-Russia disinformation, has called the LGBTQ movement “pedophile ridden,” and calls himself a “MAGA communist.”
This is...a choice.
Hey @gearboxofficial.bsky.social, when I'm redeeming SHIFT codes it always feels like I'm being punished for owning @borderlands.2k.com games on multiple platforms, cause I have to resubmit and scroll through multiple times.
When can we get a "Redeem for all" button?
Not only are the Liberal Party inviting the author of Project 2025 to their work retreat, they're inviting something called an "AI-focused venture capital firm", a truly grotesque collection of words!
CBC headline of a story by Cat Tunney reads: Project 2025 mastermind invited to speak at Carney's cabinet meeting PMO says Heritage Foundation president knows the Trump administration's playbook
HAHAHAHA UHHHH WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK??????
lol, that kitchen is half the size of my whole-ass apartment. shove your 'spending tips'.
Of course I'm still cheering you on! None of this is a result of you doing something bad or wrong.
Real shitty that you don't get the funds from the pre-orders.
When the time comes I hope I can still somehow get a signed bookplate.
Can't wait to see the book, I still believe in you & the project.
If you use AI you are supporting artistic theft and killing the planet.
