anybody else’s gyre feel wider lately

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

I thought they were kinda awful 😔

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I understand your logic, but I think it is really misguided. It feels very much like a betrayal to the people who actually voted for you. Your vote on this is the same as what Colleen Hardwick's vote would have been. I know you did it because it was going to pass anyway, but symbolism matters.

I think BC 2017 still takes the cake since this riding doesn't actually make a difference to whom has overall plurality or a majority! LPC is getting close but this one riding isn't actually going to break it unless somehow there's more last-minute flips.

Arise, arise, geese of Canada! Ankles shall be bitten, skin shall be sundered, a winged-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Honk! Honk! Honk!

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

if you didn't win the BMO marathon don't worry you can just run again in Alberta

Some facts about LPC performance under PM Mark Carney’s leadership:

Largest vote total for any party ever
Largest LPC share of popular vote since 1980
Largest seat count in QC since 1980
Largest seat count in BC ever
Seats in every province

A mansion, dark green with yellow/beige trim

A baby-blue Rolls Royce SUV

If you're like most Vancouverites, you probably haven't walked through Shaughnessy in a long time, if ever. Come see what our laws are protecting, allegedly for your benefit, & find out how it got that way.

No he doesn’t. He can’t sit in parliament without a seat but he can still lead the party. If he does stay on likely they’ll ask an MP in a safe riding to step down so he can run there in a by election.

Oh wow, 300%. That’s terrible. That number should be much much higher.

It almost feels unfair how much more fundamentally likeable Carney is than Poilievre. The mother in me almost wants to give him some sort of head start in the debate. Like maybe Poilievre gets to wear a fun novelty sweatshirt.

Alberta, which is a smart movie because it's not like he doesn't already have enough support there. More Alberta votes will help him for sure.

Is this Pierre?

Literally had the same thought! He’s always given off short energy.

Fediverse post from @adapalmer@wandering.shop: "When facing the 'All we need is STEM!' approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem - which did we fail?"

They don’t have to pass any laws to ban it. Just adjust the way Health Canada provides funding to provinces by adding in some new difficult regulations for abortion care. They’ll do it and it’ll be insidious.

only canadians will understand this

You only hear ‘ulterior’ when it comes to motives.

If you read ‘lo’ you’re probably about to ‘behold’ something.

‘Echelon’ seems to only be at one level: the upper one.

If you’re confronted by ‘asunder,’ odds are it’s been ‘torn.’

incredible

Have you heard about my emissary and saviour, Benjamin Sisko?

I think people yearn for the days of "Mayor Moonbeam"

B.C. introduces new retaliatory measures on goods to Alaska | Globalnews.ca The Act will not come into effect immediately and the issue of interprovincial trade barriers changing is contingent on other provinces putting in place similar legislation.

Looks like Eby is doing more (just thoughtfully and not rashly): globalnews.ca/news/1108046...

But then you also said it was good to be thoughtful so we don’t waffle like Ford in Ontario…?

There's a number of ways it could work, through duties or export taxes or other kinds of taxes or even tariffs. I see no reason to believe that Eby isn't exploring these. Given Ford has already walked back his surcharge I appreciate taking a thoughtful approach where we aren't waffling like that.
