Don't forget, today the first episode of Suikoden: The Anime airs!
Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.
I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.
Cholula@cholulaconamor.bsky.social · 3d agoWithout the online friends I’ve made over the years, some of whom have become offline friends (even recently!), I would be a much, much lonelier person. Social media feels evil sometimes, but it makes some miracles too.

Station Master Mikan comes out to inspect the passengers.
This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.
Hope For The Planet@h4tp.bsky.social · last wk.We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews
we live in a world where gen z gets chastised for not knowing some made up rules about bringing coffee to a job interview but the ceo of nvidia can say he doesn't know his own address
Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social · last wk.Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
By taxing the richest 0.3% of Canadians, some 133,000 people, we could raise $1 billion per year to go towards fixing our broken healthcare system, building affordable housing, or creating a national public grocery network to drive down the cost of groceries. No selling of our airports required.
Don Davies@donvdavies.bsky.social · last wk.A new PBO report confirms adding new tax brackets for the wealthiest 0.3% would raise over $1 billion a year. Instead of selling off Canada’s strategic public assets like airports, we should be asking those who have benefited most from our society to contribute their fair share.
In retrospect, perhaps posting a chapter the day after FW came out was a stupid idea. 🥲🤡
We need more working-class people in politics at all levels. And working class no longer means white guys who work trades and drive pick-up trucks. The working class is women, immigrants, and young people working the gig economy. We also need more working-class journalists, by the way.
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 2w agoThe changes to the Canada Labour Code in this new bill are “without precedent in Canadian law and they’re without precedent even amongst our trading partners in the G7.” “It provides the complete and unlimited discretion to the federal minister to decide who gets to go on strike and who does not.”
Finished Three Hopes just before Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave came out, and was struck by the desire to draw Claude in one of his most affecting moments from the game.
“is it true ao3 authors appreciate comments” is one of the wildest sentences i’ve ever read. is it true people like receiving feedback on their work? being told they did a good job? experiencing human connection?
Of all the ways I imagined Google Scholar going up in flames, being made inaccessible from university IP addresses due to AI-driven scraping wasn't at the top of my list.
Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 2w agoWhen we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.
