Major Canadian experts in internet security and privacy - like @RonDeibert, @OpenMediaOrg and @cancivlib - are absolutely freaking out about Bill C-22.
They’re sounding massive alarms, warning that it could:
- force companies to keep metadata for up to a year, making a vast trove of personal information vulnerable to leaks and hacks
- make encryption meaningless by creating backdoors in software that allow police and gov. agencies to scoop up our personal data and messages
- give US police and spy agencies direct access to Canadians’ personal data without warning or oversight
So what is the Carney government doing? Ramming C-22 through in the dying hours of the session.
Meanwhile, Minister Solomon offers a retail sales pitch for potential powers of a new regulator that won’t even exist for at least 18 months.
Instead of just banning surveillance pricing and protecting us from other forms of digital spying and extraction.
Bill C-22 is a disaster and should be withdrawn.
Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"
“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

Last year, I was privately commissioned to do a Johnny Mnemonic poster by Pin Grounds Coffee for their pinball arcade/cafe in Illinois!
This is a limited edition, holographic silkscreen print. The poster is actually based on the pinball game!
Here it is hung in their cafe
Mina the Hollower is out!
I was going to just make a quick sprite, but I got a bit carried away and just ended up making a full on high-res mockup instead. Haven't even got around to playing the final release! Gotta fix that.
Workers built this country. Not billionaires. Not CEOs.
And any attempt by Mark Carney's Liberal government to step on workers' right to strike is a direct attack on the people who keep our country running every single day.

In light of the Avatar leaks, I wanted to share a list of our visual development artists. There is so much amazing work we did on the film that we are not allowed to share right now, and it’s thanks to these people that the movie looks the way it does. Thread below ⬇️
The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.
Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.
