The Sen̓áḵw residential complex, developed by the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation, continues to rise by the Burrard Bridge in #Vancouver. A really impressive manifestation of indigenous urbanism (with a little sustainable futurism thrown in…)

Hi friends! I need advice:
a dear friend and art critic is asking me for advice on where to digitize some material (see pics). 4 reels of what we think is 16mm film.
It's believed to be an unfinished documentary that is part of an unplaced archive. They'll pay! Just want to know where to go

Do audiobooks count as reading? No. Nothing counts as reading. You're not in school anymore, that's not how this works.

Seattle in November
There’s a deli in my neighborhood that advertises itself as using “exclusively Boar’s Head meat and cheese” and every time I’m tempted to go there I see that statement and think “Nah, we have sandwiches at home.”
Boar's Head has ANOTHER Listeria infected product, and this time it's cheese. I would not trust this company again without substantial changes.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.
"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

2. You give book ($5/hour)

Is it semi-believable? Yes. It’s based on real cat behaviour, but it is absolutely AI. This is a super common trope in AI cat videos and also if you look at the “stills” closely you can tell they’re AI generated. Look at the oven, for example—why so many buttons? Why a tiny knob? 🧵(1/?)

The fact that Canada Post management would rather provide worse service and fire their workers than think about diversifying services is outrageous.
Canada Post “costs” tax dollars because that’s what taxes are for. Does anyone rly think using courier services would save individuals money? Come on.

For those who wonder what a modern postal service could look like, one example is in France, where letter carriers provide check-ins on the elderly for very affordable rates, while completing their routes.
