Raising taxes to pay for expanded and improved government services is literally the opposite of austerity politics. Anti-tax leftism has got to be strangled in the crib before it destroys what scant hope we have of ever implementing a social democratic system in America.

"On Wednesday, Sim will introduce a motion that seeks to modernize Vancouver’s building bylaw " If by "modernize" you mean locking us in to 20th century tech instead actually trying to meet the needs of the future & efforts to be environmentally conscious, then sure 😒

Ken Sim is once again trying to gut Vancouver's climate plan this Wednesday He wants to allow fracked gas for space and water heating in all new buildings After his previous attempt failed, he's now using vague claims and misleading statements to try to get it passed THREAD

So proud of what our teams put together on these specials 😁❤️

Just swimming by to say hello.

✨fuck AI✨ all my homies hate AI I dreamt up this sticker yesterday so I made it real ✨ get it here: mcapriglione.art #caturday

The mayor wants to get rid of Vancouver’s building code (effectively killing the city’s leading climate and single stair codes). Meanwhile they’re pushing to make plexes harder to permit. Pretty $#!+ all round.

Seth Rogen has more artistic integrity and understanding of creating than … whatever this is jfc. Let me revisit his words and remember that not everyone is terrible. (Via: variety.com/2026/film/ne...)

Mmmmm, another winner ❤️ (I used tofu and black beans instead of chicken, though the chicken sounds amazing) www.youtube.com/watch?v=81mF...

Nothing is more depressing than watching young artists give other young artists advice like “only use one colour palette in everything you do to have a more recognizable brand” and “draw everything with a target audience in mind”

The one-two punch of “I chose to morph my art into this to be more marketable” with referring to all of their work as “content” is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard in my life

‘The Powerpuff Girls’ creator Craig McCracken has posted a touching tribute to Tom Kane along with an illustration of Professor Utonium and Mr. Harriman: “I grew up without a dad, so it was important to me that the girls had the best one I could give them and that was Tom.”

I know my knee is healing & it's definitely better than it was a week ago, & the week before that, etc. However, it's sooo frustrating to have it get better yet not be back to normal when there's stuff I want to do at a regular pace 😫 I'm trying to appreciate the chance to slow down, but... uuugh.

All of the pictures from the eruption are humbling, but could you imagine being that climber in the second pic. You're out for a planned excursion & all of a sudden a mountain nearby just explodes.

3.3 billion cubic yards of rock and ice crashing downslope, the landslide buries the North Fork Toutle Valley in debris up to 600 feet deep. Behind it, A turbulent cloud of ash, pumice, superheated gas, and pulverized rock.

May 18, 1980 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. Weakened critically, the north face bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a pyroclastic density surge bursts through the disintegrating slope. The clock strikes zero.

"On social media, Born has promoted the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” plan, posted photos of himself at Turning Point USA galas at Mar-a-Lago and advocated the annexation of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan."

Ugh, FIFA sucks so much. I'm sure there are those excited for the World Cup here in Vancouver, but so far it's been a big nothing burger on anticipation as far as I can see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDiu...

To this day The Simpsons can still make me cackle.

Too many people don't even know what "palintir" is yet. It's hard to fight back against something when you know so little about it. Knowledge is power. Highly recommend the new two part series on Peter Thiel that one of my fave web series (IF YOU'RE LISTENING) did this week. Links in the comments.

Not sure what the Eisners should do about the current AI predicament they find themselves in, but this petition requesting that guidelines be updated for the future saying any comic using AI will be disqualified from the Eisners seems like a no-brainer. c.org/8N5Ydf8GVS

Found this shoved in the back of a drawer while I clean and rearrange the studio.

There are a lot of people who seem to think that "Canada would never vote for someone like Trump" as if Poilievre hadn't been polling ahead of the Liberals until Trudeau stepped down/Carney threw his hat in the ring. Canada is just as capable of making bad decisions as any other country.

Jason's still looking for work!

A) His videos are great B) What makes them better are the captions youtube.com/shorts/gLb-D...

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

the best part of booing AI evangelists is that no one ever tells them they’re wrong to their face and they lose their shit

how much do you want to BET there will be an NYT opinion piece (money on bret stephens penning it) saying college grads booing AI evangelists are coddled brats who will never get jobs

I love how nobody gives even a little fuck about the space x mission going on right now. nobody fucking cares at all. We're still all watching the artemis footage. haha

Take a hint you smug tech goblin.

A quote from a tenant in the neighbourhood facing eviction due to developers looking to build housing for tech bros coming in to operate a proposed AI barn is eerily similar to that of a tenant facing eviction I quoted in a piece six years ago. www.defendmountpleasant.ca for more.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone.

Shows like LANDMAN are oil and gas dependency propaganda, and should always be seen as such.

“Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents are being told to find a new power provider because the grid is being re-routed to A.I. data centers.”

A very good afternoon to the absolute hero who organised and parked this beauty in the middle of little Tommy’s far-right hate march. ❤️

"Destroy existing bike lanes (so more people have to drive cars)" would get criticized as an excessively heavy-handed This Hour Has 22 Minutes sketch about the lengths Alberta will go to to subsidize oil
