Transit advocate, hockey fan ... BC transplant now living in Ottawa and fighting to build a better city. I have family in Minneapolis so I'm watching the occupation and their resistance carefully. Much love to those fighting back.

I honestly do not see how people fail to get Fetterman vibes from this guy. Like I know people are mad about old, establishment politicians and I guess that's what's going on here but I just cannot see how you'd trust this guy as opposed to Mills but maybe that's just me.

The exception is, of course, women's hockey where the overwhelming message is that of love and joy and inclusiveness. ๐ŸŒˆ

I have a rule about trying not to learn the political inclinations of the athletes I love because they are often very spoiled and display a disturbing lack of empathy for others. The only way I can enjoy sport is to close my eyes to their likely political leanings.

The Ford Governmentโ€™s Guide to Not-Stupid University Courses
YouTube video by Clare Blackwood The Ford Governmentโ€™s Guide to Not-Stupid University Courses

Doug Ford made a statement about how university students won't succeed in life if they take courses in "basket weaving," aka arts and humanities, so I made this video using skills I learned with my arts degree. youtu.be/hfZkttU-07Y

I pity the poor office workers from the suburbs - there's no easy way to commute into downtown these days. Here's hoping that candidates in the upcoming election talk about their plan to fix transit, not just vague promises to do "something."

Remember the quote ... don't tell me your values, show me your budget? Norway supports kids to play sports. They encourage kids to try things and have fun rather than steering them into competition too early. Very, very smart!

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

Finally finished Andor the other night. Obviously so many people have shared in-depth thoughts on it, but what an incredible project. Imperfect, but daring and goes so hard in ways I never expected, I kept holding my partner's hand and screaming DISNEY!? DISNEY GREENLIT THIS?????!!

Tony Gilroy says the 'clown car in Washington' appears to be using the same 'Fascism for Dummies' playbook he referenced when writing the Empire in 'Andor'

For AI regulation, 'the bar couldn't be set any lower' than the 'clowns in charge of it right now'

They raised their concerns but the company ultimately did nothing, according to the reporting. archive.is/GUweE#select...

Democrats. For the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!

Stop chasing conservative votes. They are NEVER going to vote for you. It doesn't matter how hard you are on crime or immigration, they'll just tell their mindless followers that you aren't and that's literally all it ever takes.

We. Don't. Need. Them.

Letโ€™s see if they re-think their vote in this yearโ€™s election. Frankly, the only way things change is if voters start to punish politicians for bad decisions.

I don't think I say often enough how much I deeply hate AI and how badly it sucks in every single way.

Like someone really thought spending billions of dollars to take away jobs and computers from the average person was going to benefit literally anyone.

The mass censorship this administration is doing is happening in big ways (Colbert) + countless medium and small ways that many people are not allowed to say because their employer has forbidden them; they wonโ€™t risk losing their job to speak up. There are lists of forbidden words & images.
