Vancouver needs some level of ‘no confidence’ or impeachment process for both city council and the mayors office.

ABC is going to continue to do ghoulish crap until they’re voted out and we can’t do anything to stop them. There are zero consequences and they do not care about our city.
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.

LinkedIn needs a feature that lets you stipulate minimum salary range for roles you are looking for.

I was just emailed a 'marketing director' position for a 'AI Drone' 🤮 company with a salary of 110k. Wanting 8 years of experience. Asking folks to sell dangerous/iffy tech for peanuts is GRIM af.

It's grim to see PayPal launching this new service days before Black Friday - feels predatory. I'm too tired to bother looking into the terms (and I bet that 1 in this screenshot is doing some heavy lifting) but even if this is how it represents itself, I cringed heavily at this email.

I saw these in the post office earlier today and actually snapped a pic because they looked so good! Hope they stick around for a while because I want to snag a pack to save ✨

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

"While it might be a smart move for YOU, financially, it's a BAD move for The Economy & Shareholders. Set aside your desire for silly things like savings & affording food. Won't someone think of the shareholders & productivity!"

That last point in this screenshot made me snort sad-laugh..

Do I know anyone at Raw Fury, or anyone that knows someone at RF well?

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.

Let’s amplify LOVE instead.

I am beaming love at you. Right now.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

Accidentally lost my shit crying when we were leaving the care home - I’m always of the opinion that nurses don’t get enough credit, but one saw me crying, grabbed me Kleenex & water without asking, gave me a BIG hug, and then fed me a piece of chocolate 🥲🩷 so that one especially

Visiting my aunt in a care home for her birthday and man… this stage of life is ROUGH.

If you have an elderly family member in care, we probably all need to visit them more often than we do 🫠

There are some very sad looking people here 💔

Shit did Musk already roll back the location info change on Twitter? Was hoping to document far right Canadian accounts

Staying at my parents house for one night because the movie I saw was out here and we have a 10:30 am extended brunch with family - but since it’s not an extended stay I don’t have my cervical pillow with me and I can’t believe I’ve hit the phase of adulthood where this makes me deeply sad 🥲😅👵🏻

For some reason tonight I’m thinking about the class project we did in gr 3 where we made backpacks for our stuffed animals with a letter & then gave them to adults travelling the world. They were supposed to give them to another traveller who was to then return it back to us but mine disappeared

Meta/Facebook is aggressively pushing right wing & alt right BC politics into my feed, and there is nothing about my usage history to suggest that the algorithm should do that.

They’re blatantly interfering with politics in Canada & this may sound crazy but this shit is a threat to our democracy.

A friend took me to see the second Wicked today, and man oh man it’s not even close to as good as the first one 🫣

The green screen stuff also looked waaaay more fake?

I’ve technically been online today but I also have NO IDEA what’s going on and it seems like it’s been a lot?

I was not prepared for how ugly the interiors of these units are, given they’re supposedly 3 million dollar two bedroom units 💀🫠

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

I know there are no ethical billionaires, but before we get the people with a conscience to give their $ away, can a few of them at least buy some large media companies and run them as a non profit with strongly codified rules about censorship/ownership meddling?

His eBay links are in a reply to this post - please take a look and see if anything catches your fancy 💜🙏
Might as well post here. Times are hard so I'm letting go of a few of my more precious collectibles. I'm selling my Mass Effect Garrus statue, my PlayStation Journey statue, and my beloved Destiny Launch 3A Mara Sov statue. Any help spreading the word is greatly appreciated.❤️

In my quest to become a breakfast person ‘because it’s good for me’, even though I’m NOT a breakfast person, I am waking up with a hunger cue more often instead of just getting right into my day, but…

… sometimes I’ve then lost most of my appetite by the time I’m done cooking 🫣

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

It was such a weird tip, but seeing this on TikTok like 3 years ago has turned into one of those tiny changes that make a small moment a LOT easier…
