This mural was painted on a business wall last spring ahead of #tlou filming in #Nanaimo. It was painted over when filming wrapped, so I'm a little thrilled to see it back up again and hope it's permanent this time. 🥰

It's been settled for a while now. Canada can fund a minimum basic income at 3% of all spending, with no new taxes on working Canadians. PBO estimates it can slash poverty rates in half with virtually 0 impact on hours worked. Read our plan: www.ubiworks.ca/howtopay

I never get anything done on Saturday mornings because there are three cats that demand cuddles. All on their own terms.🤷🏼‍♀️

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

Why you won’t see IndigiNews among those sharing in the $100M Google news fund As the CJC hands out millions to ‘Canadian’ media under the federal Online News Act, our Indigenous newsroom is left behind indiginews.com/first-person...

So...when do we get to sue TikTok for damages caused by impulsive children seeking clout by destroying school Chromebooks? Asking for a friend. Also, if your kid has TikTok, are you having some dinner table discussion about setting shit on fire for views. #edusky

Digital skeuomorphs are where an aesthetic from physical objects is included in digital objects to make them more familiar. I think my favorite example is the dialog slider bar with the little horizontal lines on it, to replicate the tactile ridges on physical sliders that make them easier to find.

I hate seeing folks i agree with using gAI to make propaganda-style posters for things I support. Y’all. You cannot use the enemy’s tools to fight them. ESPECIALLY if you are arguing against capitalist overreach or for environmental issues. Come ON.

Pierre Poilievre held the same seat for 20 years and then after becoming opposition leader and everyone got to see the real Poilievre he lost that seat and now he’s trying to save himself by running in a riding that’d eat a egg salad sandwich off a hot car dashboard if it had a CPC logo on it.

Are they moving PP to Pumphandle, AB to get him back into the HoC, or to tamp down Smith? She cannot be pleased with this news...🤔 #cdnpoli #ableg
