Anime North is over yet again for the year 😔
Had a decent amount of fun with some quite insightful panels. Both as an attendee and panelist.
Bit of a bummer about some missed contacts, events and merch. That's to be expected sadly.
Didn't get to wear my ita bag. So I thought I'd share anyways.
I found the Costco booth at Anime North!
They're really doing their research into who might want a membership.
Ended up checking out the back half of the neurodivergence in anime panel after finishing up with the One Piece panel.
I got a good number of things to look up along with some very reassuring stories and experiences.

Went to go see the Digital Circus: The Final Act screening last night.
It was a very wholesome and nice finale for things.
There will be some really good discourse going on when the episode gets uploaded to YouTube later this month.
The thing about AI that is simple enough to understand is that it's peak Silicon Valley.
Make a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
The special add-on for this one is the extra problems that it leaves people with. Like the idea that their bot is an actual person, or ravaging the job market.
Gonna be at Anime North this weekend. Say hi if you see me!
There is an official petition to oppose the building of AI Data Centers in Alberta, and add laws and restrictions around AI Data Centers in Canada.
We need more signatures on this so we can try and stop the ecological and economical disaster these would cause.

A first for me today. Glad to have this piece in The Guardian. Figured it was time more of our international friends heard some hard truths about how things are going here in 🇨🇦:
