congratulations to the city of vancouver, who will now have one year of absurd austerity, overfunding of a useless police department, and likely several years more of undoing all the damage this shit is going to do

Budget amendment by ABC councillor Zhou would cut $8 million from capital budget for "Energy Retrofits for non-city buildings" and put it to filling potholes and other "core services".

Opposition councillors upset that it could cancel upgrades in buildings where people died in the 2021 heat dome.

I will be honest, I did not realize the unreleased Viewpoint 2064 even had a final version. As a fan of the original game and its various incarnations though, I can't wait to sit down with this over the holiday weekend!

I've mentioned Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains before, but its Silk Road setting deserves more praise

It goes from Francia to Venice, Damascus, Baghdad, Tashkent & Chang'An, following historical events of ~750 AD like the Abbasid revolution, the Battle of Talas, and Tang Dynasty crisis.

Vancouver Council votes this week on a budget that could slash programs supporting public health & climate action. We're submitting this open letter tomorrow. We have >200 signatures so far, including almost 100 health professionals. Help us reach 300 by morning! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
November 24, 2025 Dear Mayor Sim and Vancouver City Council, We write to express deep concern about the proposed 2026 budget cuts that significantly reduce funding to departments responsible for public health, climate resilience, safety, and equity. The draft budget proposes a 14% cut to Planning, Urban Design, and Sustainability; a 12% cut to Arts, Culture, and Community Services; a 13% cut to Real Estate, Environment, and Facilities Management; and a cut to Engineering. These departments deliver core services that protect people during extreme heat, reduce pollution, improve road safety, and support communities facing the greatest health risks. Cuts of this scale deepen existing inequities and place lives at risk. The 2021 heat dome caused 619 deaths in British Columbia, overwhelmingly among seniors, people living alone and without indoor cooling, low-income renters, those with mental illness, and residents of neighbourhoods with limited tree cover. We know heat emergencies will become more frequent and more severe in the coming years. The departments facing cuts are home to programs – including building retrofits, tree canopy expansion, green infrastructure, cooling centres, and neighbourhood-level resilience planning – that are among the most effective public health tools we have. Reducing funding for these departments could delay life-saving interventions and increase climate-related health harms for those already most exposed. Traffic violence remains one of the most persistent and preventable threats to public health and safety in Vancouver. Pedestrian injuries and deaths disproportionately affect lower-income neighbourhoods, and children, seniors, and people walking, cycling or using mobility aids bear the greatest burden. Cuts to planning, urban design, and engineering could delay or cancel projects such as safer crosswalks, signal upgrades, traffic-calming measures, and safe routes to schools. These interventions reduce serious injuries, save lives, a… all contribute to mental health, social connection, and crisis resilience. ACCS also coordinates critical work to support the health and safety of sex workers. Reducing this department’s capacity will directly harm communities that rely most on stable, accessible social support. At the same time, the Park Board has been directed to absorb approximately $11 million in cuts, which threatens childcare facilities, recreational programming, and community centres that serve as lifelines during extreme heat and cold. Libraries, which require an additional $1.65 million to provide universal seven-day operations, are also essential cooling and warming centres, public washrooms, internet and communication hubs, and trusted spaces for seniors, youth, low-income families, and people without stable housing. Cuts to these frontline services would reduce Vancouver’s ability to protect residents during emergencies and deepen existing inequities in access to safe, healthy public spaces. We are also concerned by information from city staff indicating the possible elimination of baby-changing tables and menstrual product dispensers in civic facilities. These are basic health supports, relied on most by women, caregivers, and families without discretionary income. Removing them would further widen health inequities. If revenue shortfalls are offset through higher user fees, the burden will again fall disproportionately on those least able to pay: low-income families, newcomers, seniors, people with disabilities, and youth who rely on public programming and facilities the most. Equitable, climate-resilient cities cannot be built on regressive cost-shifting. Finally, decisions of this magnitude, with major implications for health, equity, and climate justice require full transparency about which programs, staff, and services are affected before the November 25 vote. We respectfully ask council to: Release a clear and complete breakdown of all proposed cuts before the final vote Prot…

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.
