Sitka Media paid this homophobic, racist, pro-Eugenics BC Conservative staffer dude to write pro oil industry slop. remember that when you share their benign municipal coverage content. this is not a normal media company

Almost as if there is a high voter turnout, progressive candidates win. Should be a lesson for other campaigns. You need to get voters to care. BC showed that being wishy washy gets you washed out.

Turnout in Waterloo was a meagre 30.71%. Sad to see the incumbent mayor - who seemed quite good - lose to a candidate who presented no vision during the campaign other than empty pablum about taxes and cost of living.

If I were emperor of the universe any candidate promising to balance the budget or fund expensive programs by "cutting inefficiency, waste and fraud in government" would be immediately slimed like a Nickelodean host.

Thousands turned out to celebrate in the Serbian capital after the country's student protest movement ousted Aleksandar Vucic from power in a landmark election. reut.rs/4BqRvns

I did better than Eby. governbc.ca

Brad Bradford didn’t lose. He didn’t want to be mayor of Toronto anyway.

Literally the first shot of this "historically accurate" Odyssey movie shows a boat that A) Has no steering oar. B) Is under full sail *and* full rowers while entering a cave, presumably to dock inside.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Hey @davidebybc.bsky.social any regrets about that electoral reform?

Since Alaska adopted top-four primaries and #RankedChoiceVoting: - State legislative general elections have seen tighter margins of victory on average - The % of legislative contests featuring 3+ candidates has more than doubled - Voters have replaced incumbent legislators more often

Oh great. Just finished moving everything over. So whose left if I don’t want to build my own mail server?

But China…

At the next BC NDP Convention, delegates must clean house! And now is the time to start! Before the next leadership race begins. Make it the front and centre issue, impossible to ignore.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

now that the elections are over i’m going back to the REAL accountability story: science world REFUSES to rotate its temu sphere pumpkin display so i can take part in the halloween season DISCRIMINATION

Because big tech doesn't do customer service, we are being inundated with AI-generated emails begging us for help.

Finally drew a stupid comic I have been making in my head over the past week after seeing one too many 'bogan moth' comments on social media lol

sorry, but it's very hard to take your warnings of existential risk seriously when you are simultaneously throwing up to $120 billion at Elon Musk

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

The trick is to embody all four

Someone at the Washington post heard him say that and was like, "yeah, let's print it verbatim."

One Chart That Explains The 2026 B.C. Election

I've reported a lot on OneBC and Dallas Brodie, the party that did its best to promote residential school denialism and attack Indigenous rights in this province. Tonight she lost her riding of Vancouver-Quilchena about as hard as you can lose.

At least this hasn’t happened with Sim still mayor, or with Alberta getting ready to vote on leaving. But it’s so ludicrously and tragically unnecessary.

Consistent with what I've been saying—that this was a mobilization election, not a movement. And the NDP were giving their supporters all sorts of reasons to simply stay home. Looks like they did.

This is an election for the history books—not unlike the BC Libs 2001 sweep that led to major policy shifts including widespread privatization You can count on @policyalternatives.ca for hard-hitting research & analysis of what this new government means for BC and Canada #bcpoli #cdnpoli

I wonder how many people know the BC Conservatives have vowed to end rent increase limits

One of tonight's story is a lot of former B.C. Liberal organizers who thought the party had become too conspiratorial minded or focused on their most passionate supporters took control of the party, told online influencers to pound sand and support One B.C. if they so dared, and were vindicated

Who would have thought that sticking BC year round at AB time would shift the entire Province east as well.

200,000 VOTES IN ACROSS THE PROVINCE AND IT'S 71 SEATS LEADING FOR THE CONSERVATIVES 21 SEATS FOR THE NDP EARLY DOMINANCE FOR DOERKSON NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR EBY CAN IT LAST WOW WOW WOW

100,000 VOTES IN ACROSS THE PROVINCE AND IT'S 51% CONSERVATIVES 37% NDP STILL EARLY BUT LOOKING VERY GOOD FOR THE CONSERVATIVES

Best outcome today is a minority government, regardless of of colour with the greens holding the balance. So vote wisely, even if you have to hold your nose. #bcpoli

Reminder to VOTE!! Polls are open until 8pm today!! 🗳️🗳️🗳️💖💖💖

Good job there @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

I was talking to somebody this week who studies police & they wondered where the 1000 recruits are going to come from. Competition from other forces + Ford lowered standards : there’s going to be some very low end recruits.
