People don’t really read fiction anymore and that is a problem; another problem, however, is that among the dwindling population of people who do read, there is a sizeable contingent who seem not to understand what books are for

Intellectual dishonesty at its peak. A man who was Governor and whose achievement in education is uncontested is who you are comparing with Buhari? Did you drink pig milk? That you were foolish enough to Believe Buhari is due to your own limitations, it has nothing to do with Obi

This guy reminds me so much of Buhari. Poor track record boosted by aura, anecdotes, and the unsubstantiated feeling that "he's not one of them". Me I learnt my lessons from 2015 sha, never again. Everybody must show evidence.

If only we could invent something like this that could fit inside a person’s skull.

@MrEwanMorrison My general understanding is that anything AI publishes cannot be copyrighted.
English
Not true.
The line is very clear between authorship and AI.
Between publishing books and publishing slop.
Anyone who doesn't see the line has zero integrity.

AI is starting to blur the line between authorship and authenticity in publishing. A horror novel was pulled after concerns it may have been generated with AI, showing how sensitive the industry is becoming around originality and disclosure. It is no longer just about what is written, but how it is created. The bigger question is emerging. In a world of AI-assisted writing, what defines a real author? theconversation.com/a-popular-horr… @ConversationUS @ConversationUK

@Irish_Stew_2020 @business Approximately 40 per cent of Canada’s population lives in the proposed corridor.

@business $2,571.43 per Canadian. For a train that runs from TO to Quebec. Not really a bargain for Canadians.

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre said he would cancel Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to build a high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City, calling it a C$90 billion ($64.6 billion) “boondoggle.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@WadeintheYYC @business Perhaps the geography and existing infrastructure should be considered in your calculations

An #Ottawa police officer who was found guilty for assault after stepping on a man’s neck and striking him with a baton made Ontario’s Sunshine List this past year despite being suspended with pay since 2023.

@SMohyeddin @AlirezaNader Once had something go viral and eventually make national news. Multiple people posted the photo, including a news director in Toronto, as their own without attribution.

@AlirezaNader Now I understand why people watermark their footage

“What I keep encountering is a kind of anguished double consciousness: people who despise the ruling Establishment in Iran, who have lost family members to its prisons, who have spent decades dreaming of its end but who cannot bring themselves to celebrate the deaths of Iranian children.”
New York Magazine@NYMag
“Over the past week, the Iranian American community has been fracturing in real time across dinner tables, in group chats, in the silence of blocked numbers,” Narges Bajoghli writes. There has always been infighting among Iranians in the diaspora. But today’s divisions do not fall neatly along the old political lines. What has changed is more atmospheric: the speed of polarization, the way people whose politics you thought you knew have arrived at positions you did not see coming. “The fault line, crudely stated, runs between those who see this war as a long-overdue liberation — the regime finally falling, whatever the cost — and those who find something perverse, even obscene, in celebrating bombs falling on the country that made you,” Bajoghli writes. “But to state it so crudely is already to misrepresent it because almost no one I know sits at either pole completely.” “What I keep encountering is a kind of anguished double consciousness: people who despise the ruling Establishment in Iran, who have lost family members to its prisons, who have spent decades dreaming of its end but who cannot bring themselves to celebrate the deaths of Iranian children.” Bajoghli writes about how the Iranian diaspora has been fracturing over the war: nymag.visitlink.me/8XLyPP

@ThatTylerPopp @accidentalblues That’s good to know. My point is, just because there are cameras doesn’t mean the culprits should have been arrested by now. Many possibilities.

@jmacontext @accidentalblues They picked up casings outside the building close to the windows. It was in the report made by police earlier today.

From 2020-2023, Temple Emanu-El received over $75,000 in federal grant money for security infrastructure, including $27,000 for "closed circuit television system, access control and alarm system and security window films". How is this still a whodunnit?

People keep suggesting "insider traders" in the U.S. government are involved in strangely accurate predictions about the Iran war, but what if it's Biff Tannen?
