Wow, I didn’t know this. Turns out that Canada’s Justin Trudeau said, “Canada is the first postnational state with no core identity, no mainstream.” Like it’s a good thing.
That stinky little turd.

Finally, finally, finally somebody wrote a non-dumb article on artificial intelligence. Please read.
Hey, folks, remember the Octomom? I wrote about her in the very first days of my blog. Here is a very warm and fuzzy update to her story.
