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. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

An election worker at the #Nanaimo Golf Club voting location says it’s been quiet all morning. Don’t let the rain or apathy keep you home. Don’t take this Canadian right for granted. Don’t let the boomers decide who’s elected. They’re all voting today. Get out there and vote!!!

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 OndΕ™ej SurΓ½ saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"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-...

Fellow Albertans, don't forget to go vote today. All the separatists will be. Send them a crushing defeat! #albertareferendum #stupidwasteofmoney

"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?

Ayyyy you can't get an ISBN for AI-generated books any more in Canada πŸ€™ "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. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

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

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.

Don't support an anti vaxxer by buying their games. They're plenty of people out there much more worthy of your cash

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)
