They're white supremacists who want to take away the rights of Indigenous people so it's no surprise they're also targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
Gonna be a dark period in Canadian history to have a government this far right in BC. Protect your neighbors!!
Trans rights organizations are sounding the alarm over what they say is anti-trans rhetoric coming from the Conservative Party of BC. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. #BCPolithetyee.ca/News/2026/10...
An election worker at the #Nanaimo Golf Club voting location says itβs been quiet all morning. Donβt let the rain or apathy keep you home. Donβt take this Canadian right for granted. Donβt let the boomers decide whoβs elected. Theyβre all voting today. Get out there and vote!!!
A Privatized Little Hell is a D&D 5e supplement, designed by Watcher DM right here in Vancouver! π
It's a high-level romp through the underworld, with demonic middle managers and an Ocean's Eleven-style heist.
Again the Provincial Greens ran on a campaign of going after the NDP instead of the Conservatives.
Again they'd rather split the vote than unite under a progressive banner against a dangerous foe.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday OndΕej SurΓ½ saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Adventurers! We are live on Twitch for the first Pugilist gameplay reveal!
As an added bonus, if we hit 1500 Followers before the end of the stream, we'll tackle next week's stream dressed as a Merling...

"Separatists, I guess you misunderstood your own echo. You mistook a noisy corner for the whole room."
I want everyone to remember this moment when you think 'Everyone' is on your side, or about the echo chambers, or when the bots in the comments seem the worst against a better world.
I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...
This is a great day in Canada. We put the run on the MAGA attempt to break up our country.
But we need investigations into the role of the White House, the US embassy and Russian BOT farms in trying to destroy our nation.
We need to make sure this never happens again.

"Democracy means we vote on important things!"
Idk, I think a whole lot of your province would've preferred to vote on the choices made in healthcare and education over a referendum that was a non-starter.
"Adapt or die" as they shove it into every platform and remove your ability to even opt-out anymore.
"Adapt or die" as a company will sue one, hop into bed with another for profit, and block other bots from the data.
"Adapt or die" except how many data centers are in their backyards?
"Adapt or die" but they sure don't trust the free market to decide.
"Adapt or die" as they bribe officials to force it through.
"Adapt or die" as they want to try to hide its use.
"Adapt or die" apparently only works one way. Their way.
Ayyyy you can't get an ISBN for AI-generated books any more in Canada π€
"International Standard Book Number" is a unique 13-digit number near the barcode on a book that identifies each edition of a book. It's used by libraries & book stores to manage collections.

I actually think it's really egregious to suggest that experiencing sexual violence can excuse racism in any capacity.
Almost every woman I know has experienced some form of sexual violence. They manage not to be racist.
How is everyone just accepting this offensive framing?
bluesky is using AI, fourthwall is using AI, patreon is using AI, twitch is using AI, my tiny german internet host in the middle of nowhere is using AI - unfortunately everything tech related will be touched by this shit somehow. all you can do is disable it best you can and tell them it sucks
When you're a small game dev releasing a new DLC the same month as the biggest video game launch of all time, the biggest video game remake of all time, and a remake of one of the biggest MMORPGs of all time.
Some of the feedback I get about my written voicethat I push (gently) back on is about how it can sound 'flat', 'robotic', 'too academic', and 'inauthentic'.
The issue is, usually that is my unmasked written voice. I have to put more effort into sounding what people presume is 'natural'.
No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

It's just been announced at NYCC so I guess I can tell you that I'm writing The Regulators for Marvel. My five issue comic series will be out in 2027. Mutants, magic and monsters woven into the very fabric of Jim Crow America.
Here is another amazing example of the kinds of games to expect from ProtoCON. This is Cavern Shuffle by Gravy Boat Games.
Cavern Shuffle is a single player, solitaire inspired, dungeon crawler card game. We recommend checking them, and their game, out!
Go to gravyboatgames.com for more info!
We have learned of a website (which we are not linking to) that is charging people to pay to play knockoffs of popular board games like Catan, Wingspan, Agricola and more - different names, crappy art, same mechanics.
Surprise! πTickets to #TCTC2027 are now available!
Purchase before November 30 to get in on our Early Bird sale.

We don't toss good tote bags because the company supports AI.
We repurpose them to erase the offender and not give them any more advertising.
(I bought this years ago, and found out earlier this year about The Last Bookstore using AI flyers. So my TLB tote bag is becoming an upcycled bag)
