Welcome to our future. My grandmother bought a book on Amazon a few days ago and this is what arrived. My BS radar went off like crazy as soon as I saw it.

This is an almost completely AI generated book, printed on demand, and sold as a physical product.

@TechTangents These AI Books on Crafting Hobbies really drive me up the wall...

There is so many issues with this for real people who create stuff like this for a living....

@lyli in europe its harder to get for sure. The Net has it but its expensive. If you were in my vacinity I would have lend you some

Y'all already heard that Canada has decided that Canadian citizen can pass, retroactively, from parent to child for more than one generation -- so that if your parent, or grandparent, or great-grandparent was Canadian, you can get Canadian citizenship. (And if you didn't know that, look at https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/dual-citizenship-eh-under-new-law-millions-of-americans-may-now-also-be-considered-canadian and https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/eligibility/already-citizen.html)

But the NEW news is, Canada is moving citizenship applications from transgender USians to the top of the queue. So -- if you're trans, you have Canadian ancestry, and you think that you'd like to be Canadian, get that application in!

More about the trans part: https://www.cicnews.com/2026/05/canada-is-fast-tracking-citizenship-certificates-for-trans-americans-0575258.html

EDIT, 14 May 2026: Many folks have posted to me to clarify that there isn't special processing specifically for trans US citizens. Instead, anyone can apply for "urgent" processing, and there are many reasons why an application might be considered urgent. Applicants need to explain why they need urgent processing. (It's not like there's a check-box to say "trans in US".) But trans people with Canadian ancestry have applied for, and received, urgent processing of their citizenship applications.
