It’s already a #BlueJays postseason record.

A tweet written by BC Conservative staffer Lindsay Shepherd that reads: The Orange Shirt and the Orange Flag perpetuate untruths about Canadian history, such as the grandest lie of all that 215 children's graves were unearthed in Kamloops. It is a disgrace that this fake flag flies in front of the provincial parliament buildings"

BC Conservative staffer Lindsay Shepherd has now deleted her X post complaining about a Truth and Reconciliation flag being flown at the legislature, but of course I screenshot it.

This is what she posted.

Mom at the park just told me she wasn’t going to finish her baby’s vaccine schedule because “of the new information that has come out from the CDC”. Robert Kennedy is a fucking monster.

would it, strictly speaking, be worse for the environment if we fill the cavern with cars as planned or fill it entirely with concrete

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

the interface with the street completely sucks and that’s my motivation. if PwC needs to come down too then hey it is what it is. the whole area could do with a rethink

I’m mostly in it for the public realm improvements because that section of Cordova is dreadful, if the parkade is not structurally necessary for the tower then I’m fine just getting rid of that. gives you space to rethink the entire yard as well

CUPE's Mark Hancock is prepared to be jailed for defying the Carney government's back-to-work order to force Air Canada to negotiate with flight attendants

"If it means folks like me going to jail, so be it...Our members want a solution here, but that solution has to be found at a bargaining table"

“negotiations were not ending the dispute” is why workers have a Charter-protected right to withhold their labour for more than a few hours

we were just briefly in Toronto last month and spent literally less than an hour on Queen West before a show and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since because there is just nothing like that here except like Commercial or Main on much smaller scales – but still not the same

Whenever someone gets mad at me for questioning the net usefulness of AI and says something like “you’re like the people who didn’t want to use the internet”—with love, I was born in 1997, and my life growing up online is all the evidence I need that we should handle AI differently than we are now

it is kind of interesting that the language-based instruction of LLMs may be revealing certain truths hidden in the way we’ve communicated for decades, like how “politically incorrect” is interpreted to mean “openly racist”

Bowinn Ma is an incredible community leader, who I am proud to work with every day.

No matter who you are, or what you do for a living, you have a right to safety at work.

My thoughts are with @bowinnma.bsky.social, her staff and the community affected by this incident.
