Canadians, we need to take notice of this. We don’t fight with much might, but look where strength in numbers, conviction based on real needs for the people, look where it can get you. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@proton.me I will be 're-examining' which services I use. The implication is, if you're strong arming your employees into using AI you will lose me as a customer

I am minded once again of the principle that if a company has to force its employees to use a tool, that tool is probably not fit for purpose

proton.me This is not the way. I've supported you for years, but this behaviour will drive many of your customers (including me) away from your services. Workers and staff should be judged on their ability, not on their willingness to adopt AI.

Because of course it is. Not housing. Not the drug crisis. Of course not the climate crisis. Just Fossil Fuel profits

Politics hits different when you're an "issue" instead of a citizen

yeah the promise to repeal SOGI already confirms two things: - as a parent, that they don't understand/care about the safety of my children - that they are willing to sacrifice good governance to appease the far right base (SOGI was originally brought in by the BC Liberals!)

oh and to answer your question, yes BC has been my home for basically my entire adult life

And even then he is undoubtedly fiscally conservative (he is a "BC Liberal", not to be confused with the federal definition of "Liberal") which means cutting taxes for the rich and cuts for everyone else

White supremacists at the Legislature. A Nazi flag in Saanich. I am horrified & heartbroken for BC’s marginalized communities. We stand with everyone targeted by this hate, and will fight tirelessly for a province where everyone can live a safe, dignified life.

Canada stands with Brazil. There will be a growing alliance between Canada and Brazil. The response from MAGA is the language of violence and threat. "The time has come for the wicked and cowardly to meet their rewards." Unhinged nutbars.

no matter how valid it is that the cons are fucking terrible you can't expect people to turn out for that. you need a positive message that inspires ppl to actually vote for you. idk just very over the "vote for us or it'll be bad!" messaging these so called leftists have been doing my entire life

really feels like the NDP weren't offering anything to their base other than "it'll be bad if we don't win this election we forced during another election" and that clearly is not an inspiring message that makes people want to show up :/

One Chart That Explains The 2026 B.C. Election

One important factor in the BC Election was that the Conservatives did NOT win because voters surged towards them There was no BC CON wave. They got a very similar amount of voters as they did last time They won because Dave Eby failed to turn out the people who voted for him last election

He did not compromise with fascists. This seems virtually inconceivable to Canadian politicians.

I know the contexts are different, but Eby-ism failed, while Lula stormed to a comeback win tonight Lessons for the NDP going forward. In my humble view, Avi Lewis' vision for the party is far more Lula than Eby. That's a good thing.

Watching the BC election... 😐 #BCpoli #BCelxn

fasten your seatbelts, friends

depressing and worrying BC election results

Don't blame the Green Party.

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...

At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada.

The right knows how to channel the legitimate rage of working class people. The problem is where they direct that rage. It’s not immigrants and trans kids making your life impossible. It’s the bankers and the billionaires with all the wealth and power. It’s time to put the blame where it belongs.

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

SERIOUS SAM THIRD ENCOUNTER

BC, advance voting ends everywhere at 8pm PT today. Don't delay! This is a pivotal election for our province. As a British Columbian, I’m deeply concerned about what a BC Conservative government would do to our province, particularly the most vulnerable folks in our communities.

And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in.

Serious Sam: The Third Encounter is like if Valve released games called Half-Life 3 and Half-Life 4 which were both prequels to Half-Life and then after both of those came out they announced Half-Life 2: Episode 3

And I got to make one of those "weird third-party spinoffs"! Big highlight in my career. store.steampowered.com/app/111600/S...

It's funny that people were freaking out and declaring Serious Sam dead because a third-party spinoff game... existed. Forgetting all the other weird third-party spinoffs we've had over the years.

Serious Sam The Third Encounter has finally been announced and its being made by both former Serious Sam 1 devs AND the Siberian Mayhem team, say what you will about the artstyle (I'm fine with it) I'd say its in the best hands it could possibly be.

Enough foreplay. Let’s get Serious! I’M BACK IN THE THIRD ENCOUNTER, BABY! 😎

Just received this email WTF IS THIS??? This is a sure fire way to get me to NEVER play your game

The ANC (and Mandela) were very violent and would not have gotten to where they were without it. The Good Friday agreement came about due to violence. There is no meaningful change that occurs without it throughout history. The violence of protestors is a direct response to the violence of the state

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

This right here is what I wanted to say I mean Japanese copyright law is worse than ours and yet everyone politely lets doujin culture exist to the point there's fucking gigantic cons almost entirely dedicated to selling material of copyrighted characters having shit done to them unnamed by science

jokes aside my love goes out to class conscious japanese people it cannot be easy out there

We must not let ourselves broadly generalise. There are a lot of Japanese posters backing us up with some of the most enlightened, airtight arguments.
