You might want to look at Mike Harris's wife's involvement. Not inferring that Mike Harris's hands are clean.

Editorial: There was no actual investigation into the matter, no fact-finding, no search for narratives other than the premier’s. In short, Mr. #Ford said he didn’t do anything wrong, and the integrity commissioner said, “Okay.” #onpoli https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-developers-at-doug-fords-daughters-wedding-only-deepens-the-trouble/

Your honour, I have nothing more to add to the headlines from 3 Globe and Mail editorials/opinions:
"Developers at Doug Ford’s daughter’s wedding only deepen the mystery over his Greenbelt decision"
"No, Mr. Ford, it’s not okay to host a party where developers come with cash"
"Ford denies wrongdoing over developers attending daughter’s wedding and stag and doe"

The more you read abt Ford family Stag and Dough, the stupider the whole Integrity Commissioner of Ontario structure/process is....Commissioner renders opinions based on information supplied by the person(s) in the spotlight. Also, why did Premier DoFo even allow the event to happen. Just adds to distrust of government, politics, democracy.....

"Some of the invitees who attended were land developers. And at the wedding a month later, two prominent developers – one whose companies have benefited from Ford government decisions to fast-track projects, and one who stands to benefit from the decision last fall to open up discrete parcels of land for housing construction in Ontario’s protected Greenbelt zone – were the premier’s guests."

#HigherEd: A hiring policy for academic couples sends a strong positive message

Here's why: Whoever is married to that white guy you've hired, if you hire them too, they will increase diversity representation.

Honest question: is there a known weapon whose mechanism of distribution would be to have it shot down over the targeted country by the Air Force of the target country itself?

just popping in to say hey :) although I've popped in to boost some I had a super busy week last week. I interviewed for a position that would be a promotion for me (not PMP but definitely in my subject matter expertise - search) Had to do homework :D Interview/presentation went well and waiting on potential next steps. My momma is doing better but dr told me that she won't really get any more mobile and to prep for her needing more help. #today

Can we reflect, for a moment, on the fact that we’re all fine with politicians who commit crimes, steal $, lie, make their friends rich and the poor, poorer, incite hate…

… but we draw the line at an extra marital relationship?

incredible stuff here Bing

On a cool crisp autumn morning I arrived at Trillium Lake in darkness. As first light came, fog was rising off the lake and I was presented with this view of Mt. Hood reflected in the calm waters of the Lake.

Interesting to hear that some public morality guardians wish to ban Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale." Isn't a society where women's lives are controlled and they are forced to bear children exactly the kind of society Republicans are hoping to create?

Twitter people are apparently, probably inevitably, using the implosion of Mastodon.lol as an example of why Mastodon doesn't work.

In my opinion, the end of Mastodon.lol is a good example why only one guy shouldn't be in charge of something important.

You'd think Twitter people would get that.

Meta. OpenAI. Google.

Your AI chatbot is not *hallucinating*.

It's bullshitting.

It's bullshitting, because that's what you designed it to do. You designed it to generate seemingly authoritative text "with a blatant disregard for truth and logical coherence," i.e., to bullshit.

An unexpected pattern. To me, at least.

Ant colonies are much more likely to be polymorphic (=have multiple size classes of workers, and/or soldiers) in the world's *arid* regions.
