And let’s be clear about what the Centurion Project actually was. Not a grassroots movement. Not a petition. It was an app where volunteers could “claim” individual voters, survey them on their independence views, and build out recruitment chains. A privately controlled political targeting machine. Parker called it his “10x strategy.” The database powering it had your home address, your registration number, your electoral division. All of it searchable. All of it publicly accessible until a judge shut it down this morning. This isn’t how you build a democracy movement. This is how you build a surveillance operation.

I spent 6 months researching Michael Wolff's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including 1,830 pages of emails in the Epstein Files. I never expected what I found. #EpsteinFiles api.omarshehata.me/substack-proxy…

Fun fact. Even when you delete your LinkedIn, search engines retain content for a while. Anyways, here’s this pic. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#ableg The Alberta Seditionists aren’t a local grassroots movement It’s now an international crime syndicate. And now they have YOUR personal information. Arrest Them Charge Them Jail ALL of Them Enough is Enough.

Pretty shocking how quickly Canada is taking on a leading role in the world - and how quickly the US is squandering its power. 🇨🇦

I think a class action lawsuit needs to be filled against the Centurion Project, David Parker, and anyone else who illegally published OUR personal data. The amount of trouble this could have, and still may cause is unimaginable. They should be sued into the dirt.

Mr Poilievre always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. Nobody buys it-especially when PM @MarkJCarney is in the room.

This is alarming. The “Centurion Project” is being flagged for using voter lists and now Elections Alberta is stepping in. That’s not grassroots. That’s manipulation. Add in Alberta separatist ties and this starts to look like potential foreign interference. Who’s behind it? Who’s funding it? We need a full investigation now. Sign petition below and share.

#ableg 1. David Parker was fined $110,000* for taking ILLEGAL Donations from secretive American groups 2. Jeffrey Rath ADMITTED he’s working with Trump’s administration to take Alberta over This is a coup. They have US money. They now have your data. SHUT THIS DOWN.

9 - 11 months!? To investigate seashells? Did the witnesses all clam up? Does no-one have a conch-ience? They really should have flexed their mussels and taken a few scal(op)s. But I guess we just have to take it on the (ur)chin, that the director is a knobbed whelk. (Sorry)

You open ChatGPT. You type the question. A clean, structured answer comes back in three seconds. You read it, it makes sense, you move on. You feel like you learned something. Forty-five days later, a professor walks in and hands you a test you weren't expecting. You don't remember most of it. André Barcaui at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ran the experiment to find out if the feeling was accurate. 120 undergraduate business students, ages 18 to 24. All told to spend two weeks researching AI concepts, ethics, societal impacts, technical foundations, and prepare a 10-minute presentation. Sixty used ChatGPT freely. Sixty used textbooks, library databases, articles, and standard web search. Then, 45 days later, with no warning, a retention test. The ChatGPT group scored 57.5%. The traditional group scored 68.5%. Cohen's d was 0.68, a medium-to-large effect. In most grading systems, that's the difference between passing and failing. This is called cognitive offloading. When your brain delegates thinking to an external tool, it reduces the mental effort required during encoding. Effort is what makes memories durable. Struggling to find, synthesize, and connect information is not an inefficiency in the learning process. It is the learning process. ChatGPT removes the struggle and takes the encoding with it. Barcaui calls what the AI group experienced "borrowed competence." The answer was structured, the vocabulary was right, the reasoning felt sound. It just wasn't theirs. And 45 days later, it was gone. The AI group's forgetting curve was steeper and didn't stabilize the way the traditional group's did. The memories weren't just smaller. They were more fragile from the start. You didn't learn it. You borrowed it.

Reminder: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the rich people in the world are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.

@nypost Of fvck off. Everyone in the world has had enough of the Trump family.

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

Ending violent conflict goes hand in hand with solving the climate crisis. At the launch of a new report from the @planetarygdns this week in Santa Marta, @JuanManSantos and Mary Robinson urged leaders to move away from fossil fuels, instead of turning to subsidies to offset rising prices.

@Morgan_C_Ross He's so pathetic. Me me me.
