It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

BC election data shows 52% of voters stayed home. Global data shows all things being equal proportional elections have higher turnout than systems built solely on single-winner-ridings, because proportional representation means everyone feels they have a voice.

I hope the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social reconsider their position on voting reform

You rejected a citizens' assembly on electoral reform less than a year ago and told Greens to "go out and campaign for it." Now that they are, you're begging them to stop. Fix our distorted voting system instead of asking voters to abandon their values.

perhaps mark should stop being so wrong about vancouver politics so often and stop insulting my intelligence

Folks he is developing the juice.

Great to see @emilylowan.bsky.social raise proportional representation twice during last night's debate! First-past-the-post locks us into hyper-polarized two party politics that traps voters into feeling they must vote out of fear instead of their values. Check out her answers here!

So, Conservatives think public ownership is good when it’s gifting the highly profitable oil industry another pipeline, but not when it means saving Canadian jobs and our domestic steel industry? Interesting. Anyway. Nationalize Stelco.

Predecessors to the modern slot machine - like this Reliance Novelty trade stimulator - used a full suit of cards to land poker hands for prize redemption. Play for cigars or more - and admire the chassis.

Kind of obsessed with this spooky season scene my 12-year-old painted today.

Made a quick little music loop to try out some basics with audio nodes this afternoon. TGIF everyone even tho I'm a couple days late lol oh and the weird circle things are just a aim cursor test for the punches Idk if I like their look yet so still a wip #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

To be fair, on LinkedIn, the most common sentiment I see is “don’t even review AI code it will just slow you down”. Which uh, that’s an approach!

Stelco is laying off 500 Canadian steelworkers. The CEO of their US parent company, Cleveland-Cliffs, is a vocal Trump supporter who has been cheering on the tariffs. This is a MAGA attempt to deindustrialize Canada and harm our productive capacity.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Yay I’m gonna play a show soon (curves)

Based on new information reported today, I again asked the Speaker to allow Parliamentarians to question the government about foreign interference and issues with the Alberta referendum. Once again, the Speaker has denied my request. 1/2

"I think it's cool that you and your LLM supposedly got this to work. It has no place in my world." is now my favorite AI bro brush-off.

Yesterday I tabled e-Petition 7474, signed by 7,700+ Vancouver Islanders and coastal residents. BC Ferries isn’t a luxury, it’s an essential marine highway. Both coasts deserve strong federal support. It’s time for Ottawa to modernize its outdated funding arrangements and fund BC fairly.

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:

A lot of the points laid out here by @jasonscheirer.com reminded me a lot of The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI (which I enjoyed) @doctorow.pluralistic.net. Good read. www.jasonscheirer.com/weblog/llms

32 years of the biggest seed bell you have… no, that’s too big. “Itchy and Scratchy Land” first aired October 2, 1994.

I wonder if Eby still thinks implementing PR wouldn't be worth it? At least ranked choice. Surely he'd welcome some second choice BC NDP votes rn?

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Bro why are we calling writing code "manual coding" now 😭😭😭

This should be the biggest political scandal of our times. It's literally Robinhood in reverse, robbing working people and lining the pockets of the rich.

Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.

Thank you DLSS 5 for making my favourite character, Menu Warlock, look how I always imagined!!

Indeed, I commissioned the song for the release of the book (i.e., paid Jonathan to write it and everything). I first heard it when I was doing an event at my old high school. Me and a bunch of teenagers sat around a table and became the first people outside Coulton's crew to hear it. I loved it.
