« The bottom line is that the AI story will be decided in the S&P 493, not the Mag 7, and so far, there is no evidence that revenue growth or margins are improving outside the tech sector. »
This analyst's report from Apollo about AI uses the term "S&P 493" to refer to the "S&P 500 minus the Mag 7" - because if you take out the AI companies, the S&P 500 is tanking. www.apollo.com/wealth/insig...

Je vous recommande fortement l'article original, sinon le🧵de @abeba.blacksky.app "[...] when we can no longer rely on instincts that have been learned over centuries, [...] when a million languages and cultures are pureed into glop, [...] are we setting ourselves up for mass psychosis?"

There is so much bait-and-switch in Canada’s “digital sovereignty“ (heh) strategy. Bottom line is that building out massive polluting AI data centres to host US tech companies is a form of digital colonialism: they control the tech & the profits, and export the dirtiest, lowest-value part abroad.

What would happen if you took a stock market bubble bigger than the dot-com bubble and combined it with a pile of risky debt bigger than the one that caused the 2008 financial crisis? You'd get something that looks a lot like the AI bubble we have today. www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications...

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

NEW: Mark Carney’s government lobbied Ecuadorian officials to ‘urgently’ speed up approvals for Canadian mining projects last year. The push came after Ecuador’s right-wing government cracked down on Indigenous protesters opposed to Canadian mines. www.readthemaple.com/liberals-pus...

Moi: invente un rouleau compresseur géant, démarre le moteur, place une brique sur l’accélérateur, me pousse quand l’engin se met en marche Les médias: un rouleau compresseur, « acting on it’s own », aplatit la ville de Montréal! Est-il intelligent? A-t-il des sentiments? Personne ne peut l’arrêter

Phew, Democrats are just going to apply “logical” and “smart” tariffs to goods made in Canada.
Q: What is a tariff on Canada that you would keep? Abdul El-Sayed: One that is actually logical, unlike any of what Donald Trump has done in office. We should do what the UAW has advocated for, smart tariffs to protect our market.

Also: 'share of fed. contract dollars heading south went from one-fifth in the 16 months before Carney took office to nearly one third under his watch' Carney lies. The only line of defence Canada now has is to scrutinize every action the Federal Government takes & force them to do less bad things.

L’ironie c’est qu’un paquet de jeunes se blessent en jouant au soccer! Collisions avec une station bixi: probablement 0 ? On serait mieux de recouvrir les terrains de soccer avec des stations bixi si on veut protéger les enfants
This is the most suburban Montreal NIMBY thing I've ever heard. Residents of Montreal West want to see a BIXI dock in a park removed for “destroying the oasis of tranquility”. “It would be a shame if a child […] gets injured while chasing a soccer ball into a mangle of metal from the bicycles”

La normalisation du PCQ, l'effacement de QS, Jacynthe Eve-Arel invitée par R-C, les panels "d'analystes"... Un des faits saillants de cette campagne aura été l'atteinte d'un sommet dans l'emmerdification des médias. La barre était déjà basse, mais ils sont passés dessous
Personne dans le panel radio-canadien n'a mentionné les propos des candidats complotistes/violents/racistes du PCQ. C'est quand même quelque chose quand on s'arrête pour y penser. Ce sont des gens supposés au fait de la chose politique québécoise.
Je sais pu trop où mettre mes coudes
"Great day for Canada" says Prime Minister during announcement of the $35 billion expansion of LNG Canada. Neglects to note that the giant steel modules will be made in China. What gives @mark-carney.bsky.social? Even more money off-shored. Bad enough it's 100% foreign-owned.

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.
Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Un outil intéressant pour visualiser les sujets de discussion sur Bluesky (posts en anglais seulement pour le moment)!
Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev
