Poilievre’s Free Ride to Power Has to Stop | The Tyee No more getting by with glib and shallow answers to these seven basic questions.

Just like freshly fallen snow, autumn leaves can help us visualize how to reorganize street space by revealing which parts of the roadway drivers aren't using.

If you can’t see a meter-high bollard, what else can’t you see?

Donald Trump’s Mandate Is a Myth Far from a romp, Trump’s 2024 performance is actually one of history’s smallest presidential victories.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

Tesla Cybertrucks are being mistaken for trash dumpsters by raccoons, and they’re getting thrashed as a result. Honest mistake. 🤣

Oh my Dog !!

EXACTLY THIS 📢

“How do democracies die? They die slowly because the masses aren’t paying attention… until, when they notice, it’s too late.”

“What is the first rule of not allowing authoritarianism? Do not obey in advance… do not acquiesce.” @tarasetmayer.bsky.social

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect.
A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean?
A short thread.🧵

Poilievre's Conservative Party, per its members:

"Everybody is being watched. What we say, what we do, who we talk to. We're told not to fraternize with MPs from the other parties. And that's not normal.

Those who follow these rules are rewarded. Those who don't often have to suffer consequences."

Traffic on Bluesky, an X competitor, is up 500% since the election. How will they handle the surge? Unlike other social media sites, Bluesky allows users to create their own algorithm. The site does not have ads, nor harvest data for artificial intelligence training. But it is still very small and has an unproven business record.

#Bluesky traffic up by 500%, absolutely crushing Threads and X (twitter).

Millions are choosing the good place.

For us terminally online political nerds, it became obvious over the summer that *something* was happening to Twitter. Even for those of us who limit replies and rarely engaged the For You feed.

Turns out, my suspicions were real and there’s a reason I’m no longer a Daily Active User.
