Meanwhile, this greatly reduced staff will have to deal with continued increased demand since Carney has renewed the pass to make these Parks free. Such a classic CEO-style move to think workers will just ~figure it out~ as you actively make their job WAY harder to save a buck

CBC article excerpt reads: “The pass gives people free entry to all sites operated by Parks Canada, and free or discounted Via Rail trips depending on age.”

Cuts underway at Parks Canada: Nearly 3,000 workers receive notice jobs will be impacted; 13 park warden detachments to close; search and rescue dog program axed; visitor program, outreach and camping services to be scaled back www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

What I've found to work best is teaching people about how trans people's struggles connect to their own. Everyone is struggling. When they realize how scapegoating works, it can help to build solidarity and redirect their focus to the real source of their problems—capitalism

Just---what will make you care? If it isn't women's sports orgs being attacked while having 0 trans woman athletes, if it isn't the push to inspect children's genitals, if it isn't all the evidence of how much we're harmed and assaulted and denied participation in society, WHAT WILL MAKE YOU CARE?

Greetings people who are apparently new to Bluesky and also who have £31.49 going spare. My book 'Data and Doctor Doom' tells you all about how transmedia characters work, especially Doctor Doom, and is very much available right now! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Data and Doctor Doom

This book defines a straightforward way to analyse fictional characters through data, using a Marvel Comics character as its main case study.

yeah, this is fully enraging i'm also tired of looking up a question with the word "you" in it and having it respond like i'm asking a personal question EVERY TIME that shit isn't cute, your frequency weighted mechanical turk is not a person, or a tool, cos it can't choose correct over clever

A fundamental problem with “AI” (on top of its creators’ plagiarism and blatant disregard for the environment, which should always be acknowledged) is its inability to say, “I don’t know.” It HAS to have an answer, even if that answer is wrong.

Funny how some people are more outraged by Indigenous people hunting and eating animals than by the deliberate slaughter of millions of buffalo to literally starve Native people. The buffalo weren’t killed for food. They were killed to kill the "Indian".

It would be more than a bit ironic if Carney's climate surrender to oil and gas ended up scuttling his signature trade agreement.

The Energy Mix@theenergymix.com · 5d ago

Canada wants an exemption from the EU’s powerful Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, a move that would accommodate past decisions to dilute and delay Alberta’s industrial carbon tax while keeping Europe at the centre of the Carney government’s plans to diversify Canada’s trading relationships.

And! The reason Meta (and many other sites) do this is because Canada has a "link tax" that forces companies to pay money every time one of their users links to a Canadian news site. Don't allow links to those sites? You don't have to pay the tax.

Krista D Ball is Canada's Potato, Shaken Not Stirred@kristadb1.bsky.social · 4d ago

A lot of you might not know this, but meta doesn't allowed Canadians and news organizations to post links to traditional news. That means I can't post a CBC or CNN article that refutes a misinformation account. This action by meta allowed the raise of alt right misinformation to flourish here.

"people should be allowed to change" no, not really. some opinions you should know not to say by about age 15, and hopefully by the time you are an adult, you've learned not to think them, either. white supremacy isn't a stage of adolescence, it is wilful, cultivated self absorption you CHOOSE.
