Minority governments are not the problem.
The problem is a system where 35% to 40% of the vote can turn into total control. That incentive fuels early elections and brinkmanship.
Proportional representation removes the jackpot and rewards cooperation instead.

"Return to Office is being mandated entirely to improve collaboration and the kind of human interaction that only bears fruit in person" says the CEO without taking questions as he rushes off the zoom call to sign another cheque to OpenAI and approve the next round of layoffs.

I mean it's still like Palantir-for-Gamers on the backend so *shrug* this changes little about my intention to leave. This was all just a convenient lighting of the fire under me.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Unpopular opinion(?): we simply have no idea what is or is not a popular opinion anymore.
Even well before LLMs, machine learning-driven and algorithmic content filters, corporate-owned media, and removal of third-spaces in our communities brutally siloed us and we can no longer find the pulse.

Cancelled this morning, making plans to move @uwu.engineer stuff over to (probably) Matrix.
If you have Nitro, cancel it. Bye, idiots. Almost a decade of my support financially but not anymore if you're doing this.

On bsky I tend to hang with fellow creative nerds - vtubers, writers, smut peddlers (complementary), and musicians.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Alberta's "distinct legal traditions" eh? Oh I'd love to hear her explain in more depth because I don't think there's a way without sounding racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise eugenicist. 🍿
From someone who clamours a lot about governments staying in their own lane, this is equivalent to jumping the middle meridian on the highway: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #ableg #cdnpoli

I love all genders🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Because I have no gender.
Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety.
Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love?
Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

I don't believe Bluesky is a permanent answer, but being able to pivot to a different platform as needs must is important. Twitter/X is a fascist hellhole and is *not* a neutral town square / public forum.
Thanks @wgreaves.bsky.social
Part of defending Canada‘s democracy and sovereignty = stopping sources of disinformation + division. Would appreciate if you could please encourage @mark-carney.bsky.social to ban X and get all government accounts onto BlueSky instead!

Long past time to ditch X.
It’s like if we’d allowed widespread publication of Das Reich in WW2 or helped amplify Radio Moscow during the Cold War. (AND if our governments were at the same using those same channels to share info). It’s bananas.

While I am quite good at very many things, it will never stop bothering me that doing all jobs at once is pretty much par for the course to succeed as an individual in the modern "digital economy".
