The Bloc would be foolish not to challenge the results in Terrebonne. The court would be foolish to let the outcome stand. Our elections are free and fair. But no election is perfect at scale. In this case, an error seems to have affected the outcome. Run that election again.

“AI … is offered to us as the latest buoy to cling to. But until AI firms like Google and OpenAI are willing to negotiate the terms of engagement with journalists—and all other creators and workers—it’s our duty to reject AI outright.” — @bcmerchant.bsky.social

“Upcycled Housing” in Copenhagen. This is Resource Rows by builder NREP and architect Lendager. The bricks were cut into 1x1 metre panels, mostly from the demo of the nearby Carlsberg brewery buildings, and then reassembled to create the facade of the new housing.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

It has taken me a long time to figure out why the #OCTranspo New Ways to Bus logo makes me uneasy. Today, I got it. The logo shows that the fastest way between A and B is to walk. The bus / train lines shown are not used. I guess it is often a true #Ottawa trip route. #OttPoli

finding out that (1) francis I stacked the college of cardinals with his picks so the voting body skewed (more) liberal (2) the conclave is limited to voting cardinals under the age of 80 has been mildly upsetting lol. there should be absolutely no takeaways for modern society in the vatican

This essay on "AI and Internet Hygiene" by @katewagner.bsky.social really how AI is ruining the experience of using the internet (and knowing how to use it), while also crippling the social infrastructure of trust that makes the internet work. web.archive.org/web/20250121...

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

With Trudeau out of the way, is Carney a good leader for a political party? Is Poilievre? Are any of these party leaders good for anyone? We examine the state of Canadian federal politics while looking ahead to party conventions. #CDNpoli #elxn45 #CanadaVotes leveller.ca/2025/04/edit...

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Paul Manly making things very interesting for the Greens - if they come out of this election with a new high water mark of 3 seats I will be really surprised, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

The fact that this fucking riding is cruising to electing Yasir Naqvi is despicable. I’ve never seen a liberal politician with less of a spine. I have written to him on several occasions and receive the most milquetoast responses, but when it comes to Joel Harden he is at protests with you everytime

“It’s called sports. It’s called baseball in particular” feels like it has the staying power of “cuz at 6 or 7 it’s marginal, right?” in the canon of truly great Trump quotes.
