I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Another wasted opportunity for changing the electoral system, now we’re paying the price. Change the voting system by law for 1-2 voting cycles with a referendum at the end to keep it or go back to fptp. Now I have to vote Green because the Eby NDP wasn’t very NDP and the Cons are gonna win anyway.

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.

I am now a podcaster, apparently. And I'll be on the radio!

Residential School Denialism is a Psy-Op

I was looking in the Penticton subreddit and everyone there, to my surprise, was deciding to vote for the Greens. They wouldn't vote for Boultbee (who ended up resigning anyway) and none of them would vote for the Con candidate. I don't think the Greens have even ANNOUNCED their candidate yet.

this is what a lot of games running on DLDSS 5 look like lol

To the extent that I have any strong opinions about cars, I now believe that it’s impossible for a luxury car to have a petrol engine. I don’t care how much leather is in it, even an inexpensive EV is going to be a better experience.

There is no better or more comfortable piece of cycling clothing than the skinsuit.

Nothing makes me dislike Generative AI more than the true believers that think it’s the solution to all problems and uncritically use it as a citation. It is not a primary source. You want to use it to surface links to papers because Google sucks now? Fine. But chatGPT isn’t a source itself, dummy.

Episode 19 is part 1 of a conversation with @brettheasman.bsky.social We talked about his views on human flourishing, neurodiversity and flow, and public perceptions of autism. It was my first interview, and he was very kind and super fun to talk to. autisticsmalltalk.com/episode-19-i...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I'm proud of these shots. I got them while riding one evening while the air was still good. The Bald Range forest fire was still out of control at that point, sometime last week. For real, this time.

@ass.golf Hey, I just wanted to say that, as a professional game developer of 25 years, I have never heard a better title for a game than 'Colossal Urine King: Revelations'.

2/2 It’s long past time to cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, issue sanctions, and use every diplomatic tool at our disposal to rein in this rogue state. Anything less is a green light for Israel to continue killing civilians with impunity.

The forest fire smoke around here has been pretty bad lately, but sometimes it makes for good photos.

Of course. Who needs a conservative party when Carney is the most successful conservative prime minister in the last 30 years? CPC voters are switching to the Liberals and the Libs that care about the environment and social programs and other humans are drifting to the NDP as they realize the dupe.

[redacted person who does not know whose mentions they wandered into]: In my city, the cyclists are so entitled, they act like they own the roads. Me: LET THE BIKES OWN THE ROADS. THE BIKES ARE FAR LESS DANGEROUS AND POLLUTING BY ABSOLUTELY EVERY MEASURE. MAKE THE CARS PAY TOLLS TO THE CYCLISTS.

Nearby towns have evacuated. Currently hosting 2 cats in a spare bathroom until their human can collect them and take them to another friend’s house with her. Air filters are running hard. Cat carriers and emergency bags on standby just in case.

Everything is tightly closed up because of the smoke but the crickets are so loud I can easily hear them through my shut windows. I love to hear it, though I do worry about them in the smoke.

Years ago, I told google I don’t have an institution email and can’t claim my scholar profile, and that there are others like me. Ever since I periodically get an automated email from google scholar listing my publications and asking me to add my institutional address with no option to reply.

LOL, now Carney is appointing oil executives to diplomatic posts. This guy sucks so bad.

“The entirety of the document consists of very specific battle plans for the scorched-earth military conquest of Azerbaijan and a clear directive that all persons named in the will immediately begin deploying troops to carry out these objectives,” said a person close to Graham’s family

I keep forgetting they LibreWolf WILL destroy the image that I try to post. Good thing I put in good alt text. Here’s the real image, though.

Bravo to the Onion for the perfect hook in this image. Like, this looks absolutely broken and wrong. You HAVE to know what the punchline is. (It's: Take contortionist classes until you can fit inside the freezer.)

The story of the Nakba needs to be told. It’s a hard history to confront: Israel’s independence was achieved with massacres, ethnic cleansing, and the forcible displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians.
