CBC is really trying to push the 'Vancouver no fun city' angle, at least on youtube. Fuck off, no one cares about that because it's not a real problem. I'm happy for the wild animals & all the doggies that the fireworks have been canceled.

Vaccines are one of the great gifts of modernity, and this one prevents cancer!
Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Really enjoyed this discussion for @rabble.ca w/ host Reshma Budhu & co-guests @jeff.doctor & @hadrianmk.bsky.social (even if wish our points didn't need to be made). Highlights: "whose sovereignty", "magic beans", "you CAN unring the bell", AI is ideological, and (my paraphrase) f@%* inevitability.
PODCAST: Senior fellow @cyn-k.bsky.social discusses the issues with Canada’s ‘national sprint’ on AI, calling it “a slap in the face to anyone who’s been harmed by these kinds of reckless approaches to technology.”

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s weirdly exhilarating and addictive to be terrified all the time, and the people addicted to it, when they say this, may as well be saying “I can stop at any time, it’s just the world doing this *to* me.”

Reading the MOU as a whole, there's an impression of policy in a time warp. Environmental commitments are fuzzy and down the road; Indigenous engagement amounts to financial inducements to go along with the state. It's as if nothing has been learned the last 15 years. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/back...
