Grateful to @avilewis.ca for continually raising the importance of proportional representation.
Moving away from first-past-the-post is essential to ending voter cynicism.
It is time for a system that empowers the many rather than concentrating power in the hands of the few.
I’m coming around to it

If you believe LLMs are universally bad, it’s easier to say an apparent tech bro is using them because he’s stupid than to acknowledge why using them has become an industry norm
The error message at the top kinda explains it: it's not working because their "can we let you use this feature" gate is itself affected by today's outages, and the DM tab is defaulting to a closed state that's misleading for this failure state
Sources working on the project say Metrolinx simply stopped talking to them.
Leaked C-suite minutes, premier's office emails, and sources with first-hand knowledge flesh out a picture of what one former employee called "pure chaos."

I asked Claude and it said “You’re absolutely right! If the server vibes are bad that means it was bad vibe coded”
Still incredible to me this is real. Midtown
How is TJ Maxx not getting in on "looksmaxxing," riding it hard for a fiscal quarter of advertising campaign, then walking away with the satisfaction of having murdered the trend.
It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.
He did?
Now is the time to go do that thing that you were coming to Bluesky to procrastinate on

lab-grown meat and self-driving cars seem like technologies where, once they are fully mature, it will be absolutely impossible to explain the world without them to people
Seems like they’re usually condos but can also be set up for fee simple ownership
Cul de sacs typically have big houses that are far apart on the outside of a round roadway, cottage courts have smaller houses much closer together around a pathway
So… it rhymes but it’s not the same

When the “spicy autocomplete” can solve longstanding open problems, maybe its time to question whether your assumptions about the technology still hold
(Important context collapse note: that LLM’s can be powerful makes regulation & policy _more_ important, not less)

Not sure the proposed ownership structure of these but, if the homes are freehold, one thing that you would need are smaller minimum lot sizes. And, what a coincidence, there's an opportunity right now in Ontario to tell the province to "get it done!" ero.ontario.ca/notice/026-0...
If I’m reading right, the province’s proposal would disallow estate-only minimum lot sizes, but wouldn’t require minimum lot sizes small enough to permit e.g. cottage courts, right?
You’re welcome to take it there if it speaks to you

Well, folks, looks like lots of people have been talking about slopaganda for a while and I just never noticed. Please excuse the slop post
I don’t know if anyone’s coined it already but if not: slopaganda. You heard it here first
