Hi everyone. So, as per Terms and Services, I’ve taken every photo you’ve ever uploaded, every email you’ve ever written, and everything you’ve ever said or thought in your Connected SmartHome™️ and I’m using it to train my new robot army. We cool? Cool.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.
The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

Caught up w a friend who had a solid career as a corporate and game industry writer. In recent years the work had slowed to a trickle. She was fortunate to be able to retire early & did so; her partner still works. Her final gig? Coaching the #AI robots that had rendered her obsolete. 😞

Hatred and violence against Jewish communities has no place in Australia, Canada or anywhere. It is unacceptable that anyone should fear being themselves or expressing their faith publicly.

1/ Hoekstra’s statements are mind boggling and supported by Americans.
Hoekstra: Canadians shouldn’t be upset about becoming the 51st state - it’s a compliment.
Canadians: No country on 🌎 sees a foreign country seizing their country as a compliment.
It’s to take our natural resources.

US Ambassador to Canada: But let me tell you, I go around the country and people will say, “Pete, you just don’t understand why we’re so mad about the 51st state.” And it’s kind of like, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t.

Language around Canadians not traveling to the U.S. is telling. American media still seems amused at our reaction to "the rhetoric that many Canadians feel is condescending." Your criminal president threatened our very existence -- it goes way beyond hurt feelings.

Councillor @seanorr.bsky.social via his ‘gram: “Last night, after council was dispersing around 10pm, I heard [Mayor Sim] say something that really bothered me… He said ‘What an awesome waste of time. Another day in paradise.’”
Ok folks we are back at it again from 1-5. Yesterday was a lot. Heard from so many passionate Vancouverites.
Unfortunately I heard the mayor say it was a waste of time. But I assure you, I’m listening.

Budget hearing continued after short recess. 157: environmental lawyer (?)Reads poem. 158: raised in east van. This is austerity and hasn’t been asked for. I’ve been lucky enough to use public services. Breaks my heart to think they won’t get same quality. Few people asked for this police budget.

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

Another gross example of the degree to which we normalize traffic violence: A child and a vehicle somehow “collide” in a crosswalk outside an elementary school. Slow clap to Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows News, owned by Black Press Media.
