I feel like the debate about what parts of AI are good and what parts are bad should wait until we solve the worldwide crisis caused by the fact that almost of all of its evangelists in both tech and govt are morally, intellectually, and ethically unequipped to oversee it, when not downright evil.

BC Supreme Court: "Drug users have the right to life, liberty and security of the person." BC Politicians (NDP, Cons, Center parties stop digging graves to comment on their consensus necropolitical position): "Um, no. No they do not."

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

a political party with seemingly no vision and values they've increasingly shed with a governance style that can only be described as reactionary acquiescence, calling an election at a time when their opposition is at its lowest so they can govern for four more years, to do... what, exactly?

I hate this kind of thing, because just beneath its surface is a smug piety that treats "politics" as nothing but mess and rancor rather than as something with a direct connection to people's lives, and argues for being "above politics" as a kind of virtue. It's so dishonest. Anyway, good morning.

Alberta just closed a 62-bed treatment centre with 600 ppl on its wait list so they can convert the site into an involuntary care facility aka an administrative detention centre. First they came for the addicts, but I am not an addict, etc… theijf.org/article/reco...

A confidential Recovery Alberta planning document from 2025, obtained (https://theijf.org/article/edmonton-addiction-treatment-and-detox-sites-eyed-for-forced-treatment-program-document-reveals) by the IJF, shows that the province had initially chosen Henwood as an interim location for secure “compassionate intervention” beds needed to implement involuntary addiction treatment legislation. The planning document stated that the centre’s voluntary addiction treatment program would need to be closed for renovations to align with a fall 2026 launch.

We’re all just people. learningmoments.substack.com/p/dead-peopl...

There is another element of harm reduction that is rarely quantified in the statistics but is absolutely vital to the process of recovery: human connection. Stigma is a quiet poison. It tells people who use drugs that they are less than human, that they’re a nuisance, that their lives don’t matter. After years of being ignored, stepped over, and looked at with disgust, people internalize that message. They stop believing they’re worth saving.
