Enjoyed a coffee tour today at Britt. We were a group from Canada, US, Switzerland and Ecuador but by the end were were just a group of jittery friends.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

"I asked grok" "I asked chatGPT" ok well I just knew.

It’s Election Day, Canada.

Go vote Canada Strong.

Voting at the special advanced days was super easy even without my voter card! No excuses Ottawa friends, go cast your ballot!

Ooo we love the water pouring from the ceiling in St Laurent Station... That's definitely supposed to happen. @OC_Transpo

[Kristen Merke @KristenMerke]

Late for work now because my #40 bus hit a bus parked at St Laurent before I even got on. :)

As you may have heard, my brother Justin aka “Jayne” has been missing since Monday this week. Our family is extremely concerned for his health, safety, and well-being. If anyone sees or heard from him, we would greatly appreciate you letting the RCMP and/or myself know. Thank you

Wishing everyone a happy Fathers Day today!

And sending some love to all the father figures, anyone who wants to be a dad, those with complicated relationship with their dad, and anyone grieving the loss of their dad this weekend. 💕

🧵(more of a rant) on the cost of writing the LSO bar exam this year.

Tldr: low income candidates and those working in underfunded public interest jobs are getting left behind once again.

We are still in the dark. Our fuel costs for the generator are climbing into the thousands. Will you give today to ensure the lights stay on and save animals like Toph, a cat who is healing from a broken pelvis, who desperately need your support?
