So ABC passed their horrible budget.
I seriously hope lots of people will show up and protest Sim when he has his FIFA live fest next year. Getting him shamed in front of an international audience would be a great foreplay for booting him and his party out next year. #vanpoli

Wonderful work by the VPD. Parking their surveillance trailer in the middle of the bike lane. God behave if they’d taken a parking spot.

Reality check: The Supreme Court actually did the right thing in its child pornography ruling
The Supreme Court of Canada’s rejection of child-pornography mandatory minimums reflects an allegiance to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not a crisis.

The final agreement from COP30 doesn't mention fossil fuels, argues we are only 80% of the way to 1.5C, sets out an insane timeline of GHG reductions, and mentions 'a rapidly narrowing window.'
The COP is dead and burried. And COP30 was the final nail.

“Peace through strength”? Well. They really all do say the quiet part out loud.
Remember that show Dinosaurs? They had an episode where the military had an invasion called Operation We’re Right, which I thought was apt.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
