We desperately need some good #Mars movies for kids. @Pixar you really should team up with @NASAJPL to bring all those awesome charismatic rovers to the silver screen.

One for @funranium's next visit to Japan. Gotta love it when you see "the dose is low" (followed by an implied "trust us, really") without any numbers or units.

Dozens of "news sites" filled with machine-generated content of dubious quality have already cropped up. Why it matters: #GenerativeAI systems can recycle conspiracy theories + other open-web misinformation. Important piece by @InaFried. Read it. axios.com/2023/07/10/ai-misi…

How AI will turbocharge misinformation — and what we can do about it

I'll believe this when I see @Bell actually pulling fibre on my street in one of the named communities. For $3,227 per house passed, the build-out ought to be GPON to every house at 1Gbps symmetric and no usage caps. Anything less and the government is getting ripped off.

“The tornado will dissipate the wildfire smoke” is a real climate catastrophe vibe for this fine Ottawa evening.

Hey! Did you see the @WolfeIslander3 and the Wolfe Islander IV pass at Kingston just now? Think this might be the first time at the Kingston docks for the Wolfe Islander IV. The future looks so big in the harbour. Awesome :-) #YGK #InFrontenac #WolfeIsland

A new struggle to protect the rights of LGBTQ Canadians is emerging and it is the duty of the state to protect sexual and gender minorities
