A good rebuttal to the Post's cadre of constitutional assclowns who argued that suppressing rights is just fine.

ICYMI: My piece in the National Post addressing some of the myths being spread about the "notwithstanding clause" to justify its widespread use. nationalpost.com/opinion/leon...

Leonid Sirota: Yes, the notwithstanding clause overrides rights. No, it isn't defensible

If your feed has seemed off these days, it’s because Bsky pulled a Meta and turned a bunch of their moderation settings to “Hide” by default. The “Rude” setting especially should be turned to “Show” as they label it on anything they find as such, and are pretty bad judges.

Blue sky’s Rude labeller turned off, after they made Hide the default.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

when someone is complaining about the "far left" you can usually sub in "the boogeyman" and the argument sounds exactly as serious

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:

- fascists were trying to take over the USA

- we were beating them

Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.

Do. Not. Doom.

In 100 per cent unsurprising news, the bank that supposedly pulled funding from a Richmond project because of the Cowichan court decision says it definitely did not pull funding because of the Cowichan court decision

Councillor says $100M project denied loan over Cowichan case, bank says not a factor

A Richmond, B.C., councillor says a company based in the city has been refused financing for what she says is a $100 million project because of uncertainty over their site

Andrew Scheer is just motoring through a whole litany of lies.
And no, the Harper government did not work with the opposition during the minority years. They dared the opposition to bring them down time and again (and prorogued when they were getting close to doing so). #PnPCBC

Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out.
MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing.

When posting propaganda as an example, it's often helpful to put a red diagonal line through the image to indicate that you're not simply promoting the message. 👍

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Canada’s largest white nationalist network marching down Ottawa streets in front of our Parliamentary buildings.

Not great!

Image of Jeremy Mackenzie in front of CBC on sparks st in Ottawa, with masked members of his active club Second Sons behind him holding a banner that reads “CBC hates white people”

Still from a video of the second sons active club members, masked, marching down sparks street in Ottawa in front of a building where parliamentary committee meetings are held

Post from a top Diagolon and Second Sons member, Alex Vriend, on Telegram reads: “There was a dozen or so CBC
employees frantically running around inside the building waving their arms over their heads like something out of a cartoon. Highly entertaining.”

Post from Diagolon Leader Jeremy Mackenzie on telegram reads:

“Telling CBC HQ to get fucked to their faces at their workplace while they stared fearfully, scurrying around in the windows was a high point of my year.
Immense thanks and respect to the club, their supporters and families.
I've carried this weight around for a long time and it was very satisfying and righteous to be able to physically point to those who are truly responsible for so much death of our people.
You wanted our "comments", СВС.
Soon the entire country will have them.
They hate you.
They hate me.
Fuck the anti-white CBC.”

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Katie Mack @astrokatie.com · Jun 19

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
