Because he was an objectively horrible premier? Pretty simple answer. #cdnpoli

Oh, absolutely. I loved the in-depth look at Al-Sufi's work and the inclusion of some of the Timbuktu manuscripts! Only have had a chance to peruse so far, but will definitely be going more in depth!

The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* β€” the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone.

Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking.

[Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]

@ethan-vishniac.bsky.social @augustfly.bsky.social do we have anyone here? Seems to be a lot of discussion about things we've been internally thinking about.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧡

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 β€œblast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

I was a bit disappointed when I heard that he was doing this. All I can think is that his intention was to make social media friendly soundbites.

So excited for New York -- may they follow in the footsteps of Calgary and London and elect community-oriented brown Muslim dudes!
