I have no problem with TransLink taking lanes or adjusting traffic signals for bus priority. What concerns me is the prospect of a major investment in off-board amenities at station stops with an expected useful life of <= 30 years

“To give an idea of size, Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base is 4.54GB on Hugging Face and Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base is 2.52GB.” haha fuck

punchline's worth it on this one

How will you prepare for this week’s Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil?

Okay fine. Lincoln as America's first Jewish president: ✅ Beard ✅ Prone to depressive jags ✅ Nonetheless loves telling jokes ✅ Talmudic interest in moral argumentation that leads to genuine growth ✅ Frequent use of Biblical imagery that is more Jeremiah than Christ (especially in the 2nd inaugural)

Congratulations to U.S. President Donald J. Trump for winning the 2026 Emperor Hirohito Memorial Award For Excellence In Somehow Making An Indigenous Population Glad Their Colonial Overlord Sent More Troops.

every day, i wake up

Just downloaded this dating app for polyamorous people, it’s refreshing to see some representation

I need, like, Gallup or someone to poll this as a simple yes-no should it happen question with a statistically valid sample. #uspoli

thinking about this one again as i try to wind down for the night. the most obvious lie anyone has ever told.

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

Had a productive first meeting with the Transportation Committee. Feels good to actually be contributing to something to my community. 🥰

tfw no former prime minister bf negging you at davos

Today: • Trump repeatedly confuses Greenland with Iceland in deranged rant at World Economic Forum • Press secretary gaslights media who factually describe this gaffe • News breaks a 5-year-old child was abducted, used as human bait, and removed from MN to TX • Jung Hoo Lee detained at LAX #uspoli

We have to be clear that these people would kidnap Vladdy Jr’s kids or Shohei Ohtani’s dog without an ounce of remorse #uspoli

BREAKING: San Francisco Giants star Jung Hoo Lee has been detained by CBP at LAX. Pelosi's office says she is working to secure his release. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Love too watch motorists come inches from doing a vehicular homicide of the neighbour I was talking to at a crosswalk. I should get involved. Maybe apply for the municipal transportation committee… wait a minute

you should functionally assume meshtastic is just a complete open broadcast like a CB radio.

I would absolutely pay $100 for a restored CANPASS. Write your MP, folks! #cdnpoli

the photo of the toddler being detained by thugs is going to break me.

I guess it would be funny for ‘Davos’ to become a geopolitical byword like ‘Munich’.

anthropic seems to be the only lab that has realized that they built an ai and not some sort of fancy saas

A well-reasoned plan to both prepare for an insurgency if conquered, and improve gun safety if we remain free.

This is great: rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

this is my response to like 99.9% of "LLMs can't write production-quality code" arguments. "production-quality code" is a mirage in virtually every workplace as far as I can tell. what works gets shipped.

Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same

Nuclear weapons on St Pierre et Miquelon when?

Al Gore loudly booing a US Commerce Secretary at a bankers’ forum should be a Futurama joke instead of real life.

One people will we be, - a band of brothers No danger, no distress shall sunder us. We will be freemen as our fathers were, And sooner welcome death than live as slaves. — Friedrich Schiller, William Tell

Why does he keep saying Iceland???

On Wednesday morning, January 21, the Parliamentary Budget Officer will release a report on what it might cost to create a sovereign made-in-Canada verified traveller program, one that doesn’t involve US Homeland Security. The answer may surprise you! Watch this space. #cndpoli #NEXUS

huh

His family will. Do it for them.

do you think they’d change the name of Make Heaven Full if It Happened

Great practice run everybody. I almost turned on the news and went to grab the nice bourbon.

325mg of aspirin a day

DS9 was decades ahead of its time.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

Ready to call it now — 2026 is pretty obviously the International Year of Canada.

The British Empire used to churn out this exact kind of guy like the way the American Midwest churns out corn-human hybrids. Now they don’t exist anymore, a relic of a simpler time. Sad!

I see it’s “spread deliberate information about what mDL is and how it works and what it is used for and how it can be abused” o’clock

This was emotionally tough to report, but Good died protesting these abuses, and we owe it to her to acknowledge that policing gender and queerness is very definitely one of ICE's functions. It's not a hypothetical about "the camps," it's real camps with real queer people being tortured and killed:

You know, I think my patience with people not using their indoor voices or communicating directly is at an all-time low.

in the immortal words of president bush: well that was some weird shit #uspoli

if i have to join the CAF because a angry old man didn't get the Nobel

Spotted a crow eating its haul from a compost bin and looking very satisfied with itself
