Levi @levibjork.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Fascinating firsthand account of the Centurion meeting. Appel’s note about Elections Alberta using fictitious information is fascinating. I was wondering how one could prove who leaked the data set, and that’s probably the way. It reminds me of the “Canary Trap,” coined by Tom Clancy. 3173
Reposted by LeviMartin Guerre (real) @albemuth.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I know this makes me uptight and boring, but I think a major reason not to steal or lie or litter or do any of the other little shitty things is that it degrades you.

Levi @levibjork.bsky.social · 13/03/2026This is such a great analogy. Even though it is in reference to academia, it applies in other professional contexts as well. An expectation I have of myself and my teams is that we exhibit a deep understanding of the topics we are dealing with, and using AI shortcuts often deprives us of that. 010

Levi @levibjork.bsky.social · 09/09/2025The thing that strikes me about separatists (in addition to the pervasive victim mentality) is that they all are confident of how an independent Alberta will govern itself.

Levi @levibjork.bsky.social · 20/08/2025This is a pretty concise distillation of a certain view of public safety and crime that equates personal discomfort, awkward interactions, visible mental health disorders, and visible poverty and addiction with dangerous crime. 010

Levi @levibjork.bsky.social · 08/04/2025This line of argument is obviously absurd. But even if you take it at face value, the clear admission is that given the choice between taking national security seriously and playing political games, Poilievre chooses the latter. 000
