I can't pretend to be an ideal champion for LGBTQ people as Pride month kicks off, but I'm a resolute one. They're people trying to muddle through life like anyone else. They deserve equal opportunities, rights, and respect.
Prime Minister @MarkJCarney has written a mandate letter asking ministers to help deploy AI "at scale" in government. It's too early to say how this will work, but it's not surprising — the aim is to help productivity while keeping costs down. #canpoli https://t.co/I8aRz3pkZI
I reviewed the @Moto Razr Ultra — it's a phenomenally quick clamshell foldable phone that can replace flagships in the right conditions. #android https://t.co/yDuiHpqW8f
