Iโ€™ve been biking through the school drop-off area on my way to work thinking it would be the calmer route. I was so wrong.

New N.S. government hiring directive says only 1 of every 2 vacancies can be filled | CBC News The Nova Scotia government issued a directive on Monday that departments and other government entities are only allowed to fill one vacancy for every two full-time equivalent openings they have on the...

The federal government is reducing employees by attrition, which I think is a pretty bad way of restructuring your workforce.

This is a way worse version of that. It's just not how job vacancies work.

First snowfall of the winter, which means also the first snow plows of the winter. On bike paths, of course. Tomorrow's forecast is full of rain and all this snow will probably be gone very soon, but of course, we can't wait for that here in Oulu ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‘Œโ˜ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿšถโ„๏ธ

It's not great but I'm not that bothered by someone participating in the industry they critique.

I wouldn't say he has a duty to disclose the companies he reps unless he's specifically writing about those companies. Seems more like hypocrisy than shilling, but doesn't discredit his general points.

Can we talk about the vote blue bots? At least they seem like old-fashioned repost bots rather than ai shit-posters but Iโ€™m getting 1 or 2 follows a day.

Are bots just an inevitable part of this kind of social media?

The Reagan library encouraging people to โ€œwatch the unedited clipโ€ and itโ€™s just giving more of the same context. Whereโ€™s the misrepresentation?

Some Conservative MPs doubt Poilievreโ€™s leadership after podcast remarks about RCMP | CBC News After Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre blasted RCMP leadership on a recent podcast, some party members told Radio-Canada they are questioning whether they will continue supporting him.

Pissing off his pro-cop base, pandering to conspiracists and showing heโ€™s not over JT all in one move. Quite the play. #cdnpoli

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a โ€œfree speechโ€ organization and not even mention the โ€œProfessor Watchlist,โ€ as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victimโ€™s views.

I think youโ€™d be better off doing a voice-over afterwards, assuming you arenโ€™t showing your face. I just donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a way to cut that wind out with a simple/cheap setup

Every time a realtor advertises a home as an income opportunity they have to put $10 in the guillotine jar. New rule.

I think this actually gets to the heart of most people's argument in favour of expanding vehicle infrastructure. "I hate driving so build more roads so I can spend less time driving".

Then when alternatives to cars get proposed, they see that as causing more time spent driving.
