Two candidates for a Vancouver political party were on their phones while driving, with clear video evidence, and no local journalists have picked it up. Today, UK media are posting about an actor driving 4mph over the limit. Disturbing how not-newsworthy dangerous and illegal driving is here!

Vancouver deserves better than this petty Trump style smear campaign. A bunch of AI edited screenshots? Blog posts from 2008? Can’t attack my policies as a councillor? Pathetic.

It’s so funny to imagine what the UK could be like if it took seriously any of its cultural icons—that aren’t wizards, Shakespeare, or in possession of good fortune but in want of a wife. We could have Tyranid statues at Heathrow. Perhaps a grisly frieze depicting Servitor conversion at Gatwick.

Did my civic duty for the first time as a Canadian citizen today and voted in the local elections. Hopefully we can evict Ken Sim and get a broad left coalition going. I also lost my "I voted" sticker literal seconds after I left the building 😥

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

I don't think LLM-based software systems are like homeopathy in the sense that they don't work at all; they're more like cars, in the sense that they do do the things they're meant to do but those things are not generally good for society.

This is a really great guide to the upcoming Vancouver elections. Well written and crucially, willing to provide an opinion! If we lived in a real democracy we'd have preferential voting but until then, strategic voting will have to do

Not to be reductive, but I really do think the AI cult is almost entirely propelled by a deep-seated libidinal misogyny. Dawg, look how Eliezer Yudkowsky's Rationalist Harry Potter fanfic starts.

In this fan fiction's alternate Harry Potter series universe, Lily Potter magically made her sister, Petunia Evana, more beautiful, allowing her to marry Oxford professor Michael Verres. When thir nephew Harry James Potter is orphaned, they adopt him as Harry Jamez Potter-Evans-Verres and homeschiol him in science and rationality.

screenshot from the new Wolverine game with him battling a giant Sentinel. Wolverine is on a platform that comes up to the sentinel's waist. The sentinel hands can come to rest on the platform.

There’s hangover here from mid-20thC countercultural-liberal notions that it’s wrong to make people ashamed of themselves, and that we should progress from [religious, repressive] shame. I could not agree less! Shame is an incredibly powerful motivator to do right. Some people should be ashamed!
