I'm a bit of a mess

A post from Donald Trump on Truth social, with some corrections: Lindsey Graham (instead of Robert Mueller) just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President AM I NEXT? (Instead of DONALD J.) TRUMP

Excerpt from article: “Reopening the market to American wine would restore consumer choice and signal a commitment to restoring fair and balanced trade for Quebecois consumers and American wineries who have no connection to the underlying trade disputes,” the federal lawmakers wrote.
Canada lacks tech to protect its own classified information, top cyber official warns. By David Reevely | June 16, 2026
Bill C-22 was created in response to the feedback we received about certain aspects of bill C-2 that require further study, feedback from law enforcement and intelligence professionals that they are currently lacking the tools they need to tackle serious crimes (such as child sexual exploitation, extortion, human trafficking, money laundering, etc.) as well as an evaluation of our current international security landscape. As of now, Canada is the only country among the Five Eyes and G7 that doesn’t have lawful access legislation, making us dependent on international partners. It’s time that Canadian law enforcement has an updated, Canadian solution to counter criminals and national security threats. We will keep working with all parties and diverse stakeholders to ensure we are responding to the calls from police on lawful access. As of right now, we are still listening to feedback from community members and have not proposed any amendments.
Thank you for taking the time to write to me and my office. I know many residents are concerned about Billy Bishop Airport and what any future changes could mean for our community. I have heard that concern clearly. Since March, I have participated in four town halls with more than 900 attendees, heard from over 3,500 residents through calls, emails, and handwritten letters, and seen more than 2,000 respondents through my office’s survey. Billy Bishop Airport is not a hypothetical issue for me, I'm well aware that it affects people’s homes, parks, schools, waterfront access, daily routines, and sense of what kind of waterfront Toronto is building for the future. I am not only listening. I am carrying what I hear from you into conversations with all levels of government, but also advocating internally with my federal colleagues. As the local Member of Parliament, I will not accept any proposal that puts Little Norway Park, Bathurst Quay lands, the Toronto Islands, Lake Ontario, beaches, green space, schools, and community spaces at risk. My position is straightforward: protect the park, protect the Islands, protect the beach and Lake Ontario, prove the economic case, and consult Toronto before any decisions are made. The federal government is a party to the Tripartite Agreement governing Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Bill 110 may change the Province’s role at the table, but it does not remove the need for Toronto residents to be heard, and it does not remove my responsibility to advocate for the City of Toronto to be appropriately consulted.

Israel said it would occupy a large chunk of Lebanon even after the war ends."

Donald Trump post on Truth Social: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Primer Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer — But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP

stream consequences of new technologies are very hard to predict and often counterintuitive (autor2015there). Take the example of ATMs, which automated a core task of bank tellers, but led to an increase in the number of bank teller jobs as banks opened more branches at lower costs and tellers focused on more valuable relationship-building rather than processing deposits and withdrawals (bessen2015toil). Our measures of AI applicability indicate where AI is likely to change work, which is a part of the automation vs. augmentation question, but AI’s effects on employment and wages will depend on hard-to-predict business decisions.
Figure 1D: "The top and bottom 15 IWAs [intermediate work activities](with user goal or AI action activity share at least 0.05%) by the product of their completion rate and the share of conversations where Bing Copilot demonstrated at least a moderate scope of capability. All panels show researcher-generated IWA groupings to highlight patterns." The highest score in completion x scope is ~0.6, with all work activities showing gaps between user goal and action. From my estimation, the smallest gap is in "analyze data using mathematics," where AI action is at about 0.2 and user goal is 0.3. The largest gaps are in "interview people to obtain info" and "purchase goods or services" (bottom IWAs) and "implement procedures/processes" and "explain medical information" (top IWAs), with most of the top IWAs showing gaps of at least ~0.2

Screenshot of paper abstract that reads: With generative AI emerging as a general-purpose technology, understanding its economic effects is among society's most pressing questions. Existing studies of AI impact have largely relied on predictions of AI capabilities or focused narrowly on individual firms. Drawing instead on real-world AI usage, we analyze a dataset of 200k anonymized conversations with Microsoft Bing Copilot to measure AI applicability to occupations. We use an LLM-based pipeline to classify the O*NET work activities assisted or performed by AI in each conversation. We find that the most common and successful AI-assisted work activities involve information work--the creation, processing, and communication of information. At the occupation level, we find widespread AI applicability cutting across sectors, as most occupations have information work components. Our methodology also allows us to predict which occupations are more likely to delegate tasks to AI and which are more likely to use AI to assist existing workflows.

Screenshot of Merriam-Webster's website that reads: "'Principal' or 'Principle'? Advice from your pals at M-W What to Know Principal as an adjective means "the most important." As a noun, it refers to someone in a leading position, or the executive officer of a school. Principle, on the other hand, can only be a noun, referring to "a fundamental truth," "a code or law," or "an underlying quality that motivates one's behavior" (as in "following one's principles"). To help keep these words apart, remember: the principal is your "pal.""

Screenshot from the Holocaust encyclopedia that reads: Of the 4,700 newspapers published in Germany when the Nazis took power in 1933, no more that 1,100 remained. Approximately half were still in the hands of private or institutional owners, but these newspapers operated in strict compliance with government press laws and published material only in accordance with directives issued by the Ministry of Propaganda. While the circulation of these newspapers was approximately 4.4 million, the circulation of the 325 newspapers and their multiple regional editions owned by the Nazi Party was 21 million. Many of these newspapers continued to publish until the end of the war.
