PALINDROME

It is a true failure of the English Language that the word palindrome is not itself a palindrome.

PALINILAP!!

just registered for my continuing Spanish (200) class next semester.

The enrollment problems at VIU (and all across the sector) have made it difficult to fill these classes. The fall semester class didn't run because there were not enough students […]

forgot to charge at home.
There are chargers at work, but I hate paying the evil parking company so instead I will pay the sane $8 to BC Hydro and park in the free parking across the street.

The Washington Post is reporting that the US Coast Guard will not classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.

In case you didn't get the memo, it’s OK to be a Nazi in the United States Armed Forces. God Bless America and stuff.

one of the coolest things about the #bcndp convention has been the use if this little ballot book for voting for elected positions within the party.

They announce the number and colour of the page, you rip out the paper and use it to make your […]

this resolution might be of interest to the tech crowd. "AI Guardrails"

We will see if the NDP Government takes the issue up in the coming legislative sessions. (there is not always a one-to-one relationship!)

A.9: ETHICAL GUARDRAILS AND OVERSIGHT FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) (COMPOSITE) OAK BAY-GORDON HEAD; SURREY-NEWTON THE BC NDP WILL urge the government of British Columbia to develop and implement a comprehensive provincial framework for the ethical governance of artificial intelligence that applies to both public- and private-sector; and THE BC NDP WILL ask the BC government that a framework be developed in meaningful consultation with experts in AI ethics, labour, privacy law, human rights, Indigenous leadership and communities, equity-seeking communities, and civil society organizations to ensure that AI governance in British Columbia reflects democratic values, inclusivity, and social accountability; and THE BC NDP WILL call on the provincial government to establish an office of the Provincial Officer for Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Safety (‘Provincial AI Officer’), analogous to the Provincial Health Officer, to monitor and assess rapidly developing events and evidence of the benefits and hazards of AI for public services, the citizens of BC and the environment, funded by savings in existing public services from use of AI

I've always been pretty non partisan... or at least on the fence between orange and green.

Attending the #bcndp convention as a delegate is definitely a big step for me. It's going to be a seriously interesting weekend!!
