Strangest movie I’ve seen in a long while, but I actually quite enjoyed it? After sitting with it for a few hours, I actually find myself wanting to watch it a second time.

I spent the whole video thinking you had said “baby-BLUE-grey” and was trying to figure out if this was an elaborate joke. “This all seems correct,” I thought, “but are they going to explain how that warm grey is actually blue?” 😂

There was a time when social media was actively useful to me as a writer because I could think out loud and yes we might disagree but aside from batshit right wingers, it was pretty chill But now people are wound up and feeling powerless and taking that out on each other

An 87-year-old woman lived in the same Madrid apartment for 70 years. Then a real estate firm bought it and forced her out. The housing crisis is global because the underlying logic is the same: your home is someone else's investment vehicle.

María del Carmen Abascal, whose case has become a symbol of Spain’s housing crisis, appeared in a video from her hospital bed after police officers removed her from her apartment.

Taxing the rich is climate policy
We can’t get to the root of the climate crisis without addressing economic inequality and the power of the super-rich.
According to Oxfam International, the richest 1% is emitting more carbon than the poorest 50% of humanity combined.

Graph showing the percentage of CO2 lifestyle consumption emissions by global income deciles. The poorest 50% are responsible for only around 10% of total lifestyle consumption emissions. Meanwhile, the richest 10% are responsible for nearly half of total lifestyle consumption emissions. Devyani Singh for city council.

The Climate crisis is already hitting us. How we respond to it will determine how hard we get hit going forward. Instead of backsliding and cuts under ABC, we can fund our climate programs and create a Climate Defence Strategy that saves lives and takes the fight on climate to the super-rich.
COPE POLICY 2026
Take the climate crisis seriously.

COPE’s plan for a Climate Defence Strategy to hold the super-rich accountable for climate destruction and turn Vancouver into a global leader on climate. The UN Environmental Programme’s September 2026 report “Limiting Overshoot” says that we can no longer avoid 1.5° of warming.

Every fraction of a degree beyond 1.5° will create more intense climate impacts, and increase 
the chances of extreme weather, flooding, disruptions to food supply, and threats to public safety.

Climate change is hitting us now. The 2021 heat dome killed 621 people in BC, atmospheric rivers cut off our highway shipping routes for days in 2021, and wildfire smoke chokes Vancouver residents almost every year.

How hard we get hit in the future will be based on how well we defend ourselves.

Apparently, one of the inspirations for the writers was “Inner Light” from Star Trek TNG, which was also a standalone episode and one of my favorites of the entire series.

they're the only ones who seem to understand that you can't just wait for a show that you don't advertise to hit before greenlighting a second season to air 5 years later, they are fine with giving even mediocre performing shows 2, 3 + seasons, bc it's okay for a show to not be a massive hit

Privately, every major party and politician in this province has happily tell me that they went overboard on prioritizing Twitter in the past and that it's not particularly helpful to their campaigns in the present. And publicly, they can't break their fixation on it. It is what it is.

After watching this conference I'm even more convinced that David Eby's snap election is going to be catastrophic for the NDP. I think Lorne Doerkson is going to be the next premiere. Lets hope it's a minority government and they have to work with the Greens.

I say this as someone who uses AI every day for programming work—using AI design in a public capacity will always cost you far more than what you “save” by not having a person create the design.

Tim Mackey @timdmackey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
No matter your view on AI, it’s impossible to escape the fact that AI design signals low effort and low trustworthiness to a significant portion of the population. Unless you’re exclusively targeting the 50+ demographic, using AI design will do nothing but alienate your audience.

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.
