If you think the BC NDP is bad, let's talk again in 4 years. Here in Ontario, Kathleen Wynne was painted as the devil, & we (not me, but other Ontarians) gave Doug Ford 3 consecutive terms of MAJORITY government. Look at where we are now... All the best to you, BCers... #bcpoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

I didn’t know Eby and the upper management of the NDP could be so incompetent. They deserved to be booted out. Now, let the circus continue.

We forget we have been in an information war for a while now. The mainstream media are corporations. They support politicians who support corporations. The world is complex and they feed us simplistic right-leaning narratives that offer simple solutions.

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

Capitalism is great at making more. Terrible at knowing when to stop. Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

I think Clinton, Obama and Biden did good things when they had Democratic majorities but if you compare it to what Reagan, Bush and Trump have done you can comprehend why we need to change this culture where we simply dont demand enough of the Democratic Party.

Very much presaged by the 600-page 2019 NYT bestseller PROOF OF CONSPIRACY—which covers enough of the same ground that few who read the article below will be surprised, if they read that earlier book—but this new book excerpt is nevertheless shocking for further confirming that Kushner is a traitor.

Sociopaths have infiltrated our society, our culture and our institutions in dangerous numbers at every possible level. It helps, I think, to think of them as an organized movement with shared interests, and yes, this may be a subtweet.

@ivarham.bsky.social is back again for another guest spot on CFNY-FM 102.1 The Edge for another edition of the Time Machine Program this Sunday at 6 pm, followed by Alan Cross and The Ongoing History of New Music. We go back 42 years to look at what was new on The Spirit of Radio in October of 1984!

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere decade ago, we had a presidential election in which effectively the only issue on the table was the security of IT & communications at the highest level of government. I’m sure the next 2 weeks will reflect this same level of urgency & concern 🤔

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

Company ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. Continue reading...

TLDR: The agent misinterpreted a "don't send messages" instruction to include notifications, so it disabled them. Agents are basically a game of telephone, and the more back and forth between them, the more likely the message gets lost. But that doesn't make the AI nefarious, just dumb.
