Pretty key sentence. People have screamed “ITS ENDEMIC” at me since at least 2023, and A) it wasn’t and B) using endemic to mean “it’s fine now” is very, very stupid.

"We were told it was going to be endemic, and people didn't really think that that just meant it was going to keep coming back. It is back," Thirsk said.

So we're all dragging the UK SoC, and their co-signatories (including The Writers' Union of Canada) over this. But it's also important for us to think on why these groups have started to express positivity towards generative AI.

Police: "This work includes examining the movements of the involved vehicle on the Tsawwassen Mills property before the pedestrians were struck, including an earlier collision." 👀 There's no mainstream media account of this earlier collision, yet they all went with the "medical emergency" narrative

Vancouver election day is this Saturday 17 October. If you want affordable, accessible housing choices in every neighbourhood, vote for the entire @onecityvan.bsky.social slate.

OneCity’s Lucy Maloney told The Tyee she was unhappy that council was unable to pass the Social Housing Initiative — the staff proposal to allow 20-storey social housing buildings — and the Villages Plan.

“I’m particularly disappointed about the Villages Plan falling over, because part of OneCity’s vision for the city is more affordable and accessible housing choices in every neighbourhood — particularly low-rise. There’s been surveys showing that a high percentage of Vancouverites want low-rise apartment buildings, yet they’re illegal in 70 per cent of our city. The Villages Plan would’ve gone some way towards addressing that, so that’s disappointing.”

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

COVID-19 hasn’t gone since 2020 and has always been airborne. We need a respirator mask mandate for everyone in healthcare settings. Not having one is causing it to spread more, and sicken and disable more. In room air filtration can also help. #abpoli #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/covid-p...

Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Over the past decade, some conservatives have invoked principles of academic freedom and free speech in order to subvert both. These conservatives mocked “snowflakes” and “trigger warnings,” and then passed legislation making it illegal to hurt white students’ feelings by discussing historical or contemporary events. They invoked academic freedom and then began erasing fields of study they found politically inconvenient. They railed against “indoctrination,” and then argued that the state is entitled to control everything said in the classroom.

Oh and as someone wrote on Instagram, to keep Cons out the strategic vote in Saanich North & the Islands is for Emily Lowan of BC Greens, not NDP. #bcpoli

To any NDP-leaning voters in Saanich North Islands riding: Emily is your ONLY strategic option to stop the Cons. A vote for BCNDP in that riding is a vote for BC Cons! Only Emily has the momentum, resources, ground game and support to keep that seat progressive! And her voice is critical to keep the dial of discourse and policymaking shifting leftwards, not rightwards! In SNI, vote tactically, vote Green, vote Emily! 💚
