I just had the weirdest scam call pretending to be Rogers Communications (@Rogers). After he identified himself, I said:
This is the third time this week I've gotten a call from you guys, can you put me on a list of do not call as I do not want these phone calls anymore...
ANYHOO I'm now registered on the National Do Not Call List. It took less than 30 seconds, and according to Rogers Communications, once your name is on that list (it takes 30 days to update), they will never call you so you know automatically anyone calling you is a spoof call

Okay so i've followed who i can from twitter on bluesky, got it working on my phone, and requested an archive of my twitter, so will hopefully be deleting this app after tomorrow

One case involves a man who had MAiD suggested to him by a psychiatrist during a mental health assessment and then was later picked and driven to his MAiD appointment by the MAiD provider who euthanized him.
Remember these are the ones we know about.

When I was being assessed for bipolar disorder in the aughts, one of the questions was: did I ever engage in risky sexual behaviour?
And I was like you mean riding a rando cock while juggling chainsaws? Um noo!!!

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

🧵 I'm in Ricochet this week highlighting students across Ontario universities who are begging for masks to return to the classroom. Why are our leaders letting a virus *that harms our ability to think* to run rampant on our campuses?

If you are middle-aged and want to improve your poop game, I highly recommend eating kiwi (with the skin) in chia seeds soaked in plain Greek yoghurt:
Tastes awful but the 💩💩💩 afterwards are excellent!

Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 50 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action.
Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

2: a task force of Wikipedia editors is detecting and deleting this stuff
