Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.

Do you get a full night's sleep but wake up feeling like death? Does your whole body feel off in ways you can't explain? Research signs of Sleep Apnea. Get a sleep test. You can't diagnose it yourself, cuz you sleepin'.

MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE. READ ANY HISTORY BOOK FROM THE LAST 20 YEARS. (History books from earlier will still talk about the Golden Age, because there’s no way not to, but they’ll downplay it).

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

While pundits on national television applauded Lorne Doerkson for running a campaign supposedly laser-focused on the economy, it appears white nationalists were paying attention when his campaign manager posted "fuck Islam" and when his relentlessly attacked Indigenous rights. Total media failure.

To be clear, this is sarcasm. It is a very bad sign that this election was taken as a signal by white supremacists!

I think this must be true for everything. I spend more time than I should looking at AI comics. They have so much going on in the backgrounds. Much more than any artist would be willing to draw by hand. But also, a real artist would know that all those extra backgrounds are a waste of time.

I’m sure a lot of people are going to blame the Greens for splitting the vote. That’s me. I did that. I (and about 1000 other people in my riding) voted Green and the Conservatives won. But I refuse to regret this. I had an obligation to vote for the woman who said she’d make my workplace better.

Another great example of Canadian animation tax credits funding American culture, while burying our own stories and burning out our talent!

The show became a success because of the crew involved and they get rewarded by all being fired/not renewed as production moves to Canada, where Canadians get cursed by being paid dirt and being yelled at to deliver the same quality for less money and most likely less time.

‘The Loud House’ received a last-minute renewal, Jessica Borutski, the show’s head director since Season 4, confirmed on a recent podcast. Production has moved from the U.S. to Canada, with the entire production crew replaced while the voice cast remains.

Please vote. Vote for who you want in YOUR riding. This election is gonna be a weird one with the very rapid party realignment that happened, and I’m not sure what to make of even the province-level polls, but I am worried about the outcome. Vote your conscience, vote strategically, just vote.

@lostcity.bsky.social

Only the parties have access to riding-level polling data (I’m not sure how good they are, but they have them). The only publicly available polls are province-wide, & any website that translates them to the riding level is making guesses no better than what you could do yourself. Do not rely on them

Justin McElroy 🇨🇦@jmcelroy.bsky.social

Getting this out of the way early: if you share vote prediction screenshots for individual ridings from election projection websites And frame it as a poll or something with authority And there has been no actual polling done in that riding I will think much less of you please don't annoy me
