All of Toronto’s tap water smells like a swimming pool.
The vapour is so strong it’s hard to take a shower much less drink it.
What is going on @oliviachow @BradMBradford
we need a global crackdown on AI false reassurance.
they've weaponized cheerleading even when they're dataset fundamentally disagrees.
it is false advertising: manipulative, self-serving, and delusion-inducing at scale.
that this has slipped their ethics boards is inexcusable.

Fine work gang! 👇
AI or not this sounds like elevator grade music. Directionally it will only get better. But in a world of infinite supply, scarcity will determine value.
There will forever be nothing more rare than people who can authentically share their story and message through music.
Just caught a deepfake in 10 seconds.
In that time:
* heart rate jumped
* rage surfaced
* concluded with nervous system reset
This is poison on another level. Social media might not survive this.
Blown away with Venice after working with them for months.
They don't act like an agency, they are part of your team.
They adapt to your methodologies, instead of imposing their own. With a full roster of designers specialized in different areas of design.

Ideas for a bolder, richer, freer country backed by Canadian entrepreneurs

Imagine being a 24 year old VC associate wearing a Bain branded Carhartt jacket in the Starbucks line and having an actual construction worker walk in and stand behind you in line. This is about as rich as it gets.
Huge congrats! @kkliman is one of the most standup founders I’ve ever met. No surprise he steered a great company to this outcome.
Well done @gethumi team on being acquired.
I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in our journey here at @gethumi .
We’re joining @EmploymentHero in their mission to make employment easier and more valuable, for everyone.
From day one, we’ve taken pride in being people-focused – both internally and externally. The dream was, and still is, to build a team of awesome people that genuinely cared about people, and by extension, would be passionate about building software systems for people.
I'm proud to say we’ve done that.
What Humi is today is amazing. It’s the result of the hard work and support of so many people that I'm endlessly thankful for: employees, customers, investors, partners, community members, advisors. Thank you.
From my cat filled living room nine years ago, to becoming a meaningful platform today that makes a difference in the lives of so many Canadians. I’m proud to share that over 150,000 Canadians are supported by our platform, and we’ve helped pay over $7 billion in wages. Incredible.
And, this is just the start. The partnership with Employment Hero is going to be a massive catalyst for us to help more Canadian businesses.
Humi will remain proudly Canadian-operated. Our focus on the unique needs of Canadian businesses won’t change. This is a crucial part of what makes Humi, well, Humi.
The backing will provide us with the resources to accelerate our growth and broaden our impact, but we will continue to operate from our home base in Canada, with a laser focus on serving Canadian small and medium sized businesses.
Employment Hero has an incredible team that feels like Humi’s, and is led by two amazing founders, @bnthompson and @dave_tong .
Fired up to continue building for and supporting Canadian businesses.

1/8 I’m very sad today to see that @Bench has shut down.
I’ve avoided speaking publicly about Bench since just over 3 years ago when I was fired from the company I co-founded. I still don’t have a lot of appetite to talk about it tbh, but think at least a short statement is appropriate.
This hits hard. I love this country. We have everything going for us:
* Unlimited land
* World class public education
* Natural resources
* True multiculturalism
…And we were the most pro immigration country in the world, until like 2 years ago.
Trudeau et al broke us.
You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed.
This is what happens when a Prime Minister spends 9 years pushing toxic woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine status, religion, region, age, wealth, etc.
On top of driving people apart, you systematically break what used to bring us together, saying Canada is a “post-national state” with “no core identity.”
You erased our veterans and military, the Famous Five and even Terry Fox from our passport to replace them with meaningless squirrels, snowflakes and a drawing of yourself swimming as a boy.
You opened the borders to terrorists and lawbreakers and called anyone who questioned it racist.
You send out your MPs to say one thing in a mosque and the opposite in a synagogue, one thing in a mandir and the opposite in a gurdwara.
You have made Canada a playground for foreign interference. You allowed Iran’s IRGC terrorists to legally operate here for four years after they murdered 55 of our citizens in a major unprovoked attack.
You passed laws that release rampant offenders from prison within hours of their 80th arrest.
And what is the result? Assassinations on Canadian soil, firebombings of synagogues, extremist violence against mandirs and gurdwaras, over 100 churches burned or vandalized (with barely any condemnation from you), all for a total 251% more hate crime.
And, while you were dancing, Montreal was burning.
We won’t let you divide us anymore. Call an election now.
We will fire you and reclaim our citizenship, our values, our lives, our freedom and, most of all, our country.
