there are going to be people who say, take a wait and see approach to how the Court will treat the next Dem president

and those people are wrong, we know exactly how they will treat that person and it is the polar opposite of how they treat Trump

strike at them immediately, first order of business

I don't think Carney realizes how many of us code AI boosterism as just dumb

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.

As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.

Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.

They changed the Canadian $5 bill to make Sir Wilfrid Laurier (dead Liberal PM) look like Stephen Harper (awful then-current Tory PM). They really did.

The real product is as much unaccountability as you want (just say the magic words ‘skill issue’)

It’s great for all tasks where there are people or institutions with an incentive to say it was done and no incentive at all to do it up to any standard of adequacy. The apotheosis of the phone tree

noting the total lack of response to ‘it‘s ruining lives’

Insist on Harry

Confirmation that he doesn’t think any other Western hemisphere countries are real

If Carney actually thinks this will solve our housing crisis, welcome back NDP

‘Frothing at the mouth elderly Ukrainian guy’ is actually a Canadian stereotype — there used to be one who had a letter in the Globe every week

‘we don’t talk politics with Grandpa’

Reps treat everything Dems do as a crime, Dems are incapable of doing the same even when everything the Reps are doing is in fact against the law

One reason Canada has fewer tankies than the US is everybody knew a Baltic/Hungarian/Czech kid growing up

Americanization, ugh

I still enjoy Bluesky, mostly, but the brigading, groupthink, and rote outlefting are increasingly gross.

Curbstomping all other kinds of leftists is a pretty core Marxist commitment

all the worst people

Deloucas @aandeloucas.com: In line with discussion about the job market, the latest majors being closed at Syracuse University: Nine majors "sunsetting": • Classical civilization • Classics (Greek and Latin) • Digital humanities • Fine arts • German • Latino-Latin American studies • Middle Eastern studies • Modern Jewish studies • Russian ALT

The First University in the Nation to Build a Center Dedicated to the Creator Economy Syracuse University is creating something that doesn't exist anywhere else in higher education. The Center for the Creator Economy is the first academic center of its kind on a U.S. college campus. Led jointly by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Martin). Whitman School of Management, the center reinforces Syracuse University's commitment to bold, forward-looking academic leadership. By aligning strengths in entrepreneurship, media, communications, athletics and digital infrastructure, the University is charting how higher education can prepare students for the 21st-century economy.
