WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Today I attended the Mission Arts Council Renaissance Faire. It was a blast! 17k attendees just today (according to sources), and it definitely felt like it, despite the large outdoor space. Many vendors are about sold out of everything, and everyone was amazing and friendly ❤️ Pickle for scale.

We must move the starting location!

October 3rd being an Advance Voting day at City Hall and under the Vancouver Charter, protests cannot be conducted outside a voting location as a person cannot be within 100m and attempt to influence how electors may vote.

City Hall has stated that any protestors wanting to cast their vote at the polling station that day can do so as is their right; however, not permitted to bring in any items (signs, etc.) that could influence voting by other constituents.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

Communism led the Catholic Church to fund Digimon and later night anime. No, really. It all started back in 1951 when the Society of St. Paul established the Japan Cultural Broadcasting Corporation and the radio station JOQR.

LLMs cease to be useful when they can't be used to scam people into unknowingly reading slop anymore. When the typewriter was invented, no one had to pretend its output was handwritten to get people to accept it. Typing had its own utility. LLMs are scamtech that have no utility outside the scam.

"In September 2025, dozens of public figures and tech experts warned Prime Minister Mark Carney about the growing influence of U.S. tech giants on the lives of Canadians. They urged Carney to prepare a roadmap to safeguard Canada’s “digital sovereignty.”
Moneris is key for businesses across Canada, helping them accept and manage payments across 325,000 points of commerce in the country.

This came just days after U.S. chipmaking giant AMD said it would acquire Taalas, one of Canada’s largest semiconductor manufacturers.

As a signatory to the open letter, I'm disappointed but not surprised. The Canadian govt has a weak view of digital sovereignty, seeing the US as a partner, not a threat. With a US firm's purchase of Moneris, Canada lost more control over its financial infrastructure to an authoritarian US.
