The results of Calgary’s civic election left me thinking: Why didn’t more diverse candidates run?

So i looked into it for @thetyee.ca
Calgary’s City Council Is Very Male. Why? | The Tyee
Out of 82 contenders, only two women were elected. The loser is democracy, say some.

As immigration raids have swept the country and the US government rapidly merges data from across federal agencies, it’s not just immigrants who have been kidnapped and detained. American citizens have also been caught up.

Just launched this new project: The Rovélo Record

Basically satirical news around parenting/life stuff which I always wanted an outlet for. This will live on my current site despite not being focused on streets/comms, so kind of random much like my timeline

Curious what my copyright friends think about some of these infringement claims, from Crye Precision LLC v. Schedule A, No. 1:25-cv-04208. Strong enough for a TRO? For a PI? any other issues?

Meanwhile in another Blakey #ScheduleA case: After being asked about whether they've previously sued any of the defendants, the plaintiff (suing under what appears to be a pseudonym and represented by Flener IP) just...dismisses their case entirely.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

We restored the zip ties on baby Jesus. The #Christmas story is literally about an authoritarian ruler using violence, causing fear, and eventually driving the holy family to become refugees in Egypt. The parallels couldn't be more clear between scripture and our nativity. We're not going anywhere.
