In my experience as a motorist, cyclist + pedestrian, our roads have gotten a lot more dangerous in the last few yrs + the stats show this. Since 2022 VPD funding has gone ⬆️ 46% yet traffic tickets have gone ⬇️ 49%. Anyone who believes ABC cares about public safety in this city is being fooled

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

there’s something real kooky about how eby used to work for pivot, and now he leads a govt that eschews evidence-based interventions like compassion clubs and harm reduction. quite the pivot, indeed…

DULF is free. This landmark ruling could alter drug policy in Canada. There's still room for an appeal, but as of today, a judge has found a section of Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act unconstitutional. Parliament was given six months to respond. www.script.health/article/dulf...

Compassion clubs save lives and I’m glad BC Supreme Court justice Catherine Murray agrees! Amidst the many ongoing battles waged as the toxic drug crisis persists, this is a huge win. WE🖤DULF

i'm in BC Supreme Court waiting to hear the ruling from Justice Catherine Murray, who is making findings: a non-medicalized safe supply program is desperately needed, the DULF compassion club didn't cause any harm, and there wasn't any licit supply for DULF to access

Sometimes a drug trip is a profound experience where you realize that you’ve been carrying pain in your heart for years, that you can forgive yourself. Other times you come up with a concept called “gay money” (money that’s gay) and you text your friend “gay money” days later. Both are healing. ❤️‍🩹

I live for that. I live for the incredibly diverse spectrum of people in my life with centuries of combined experience who argue and riff off and care for each other. genAI is just a house of mirrors, sound and fury signifying nothing. I find that repellent.

An “administrative error” will leave British Columbians with $1.5B less & LNG corporations with that much more. That's more than the budget of BC’s cancelled affordable housing program. Losing housing is a budgetary necessity, yet losing $1.5B to LNG corporations is just an error?

FYI Montague+the rest of the ABC clownshow voted *against* installing red light cameras in the city’s worst intersections. I assumed part of the ploy was to make sure cops look like they have enough to do, but they don’t even do the bare minimum to protect community safety by ticketing bad drivers😵‍💫

To be fair, I don’t need cops for much. But I witness egregious, unsafe, law-breaking driving every day, but I haven’t seen a VPD officer pull over a driver in literally years.

Remember as your eyes burn from the smoke today, Ken Sim and ABC voted to allow fracked gas in new builds, cancelled $8 million in climate retrofit grants; voted against funding for cooling kits for people in the Downtown Eastside; and got rid of the climate justice charter.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
