The irony of the first one on this list had a record breaking long strike with almost their entire workforce on the picket line is flabbergasting. #BCGEU 15 B.C. employers recognized for treating their workers best | Business & Tech share.google/zb43myG1OLuU...

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only

Going on the record defending why your government isn't offering a fair deal by inflating the previous deal by 5% isn't a good negotiation tactic. @davidebybc.bsky.social people are struggling. And according to you, they already got this. Come back with a fair deal. globalnews.ca/news/9206272...

Was some pretty great protest signs on display by BCGEU members today.

Hearing from my coworkers at the Victoria Bike Valet downtown that they are FULL, as the BCGEU labour protest amasses large numbers to head to the Legislature. This is, in my recollection, the first time we've actually had to turn people away. #yyj

Thousands of striking BCGEU and PEA members and their supporters rally on the legislature lawn demanding a better wage offer. The PEA lead negotiator says the government latest offer “takes us backwards” when considering inflation and cost of living increases. #bcpoli

This isn't a small rally. The entire leg lawn is filled. 100%. #BCGEU #solidarity #generalStrike

Waiting for the employer.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

When I saw Jon Stewart was doing an episode kissing Trump's butt (ironically) I thought it would be amazing if the Colbert Report came back to do it right. Well. I sorta got my wish. youtu.be/ATxL1dLkPnY?...

we dont need boycotts, these places have too much centralized money due to their monopolies. they can literally exist for 300 years without taking a real financial hit. we need a GENERAL. FUCKING. STRIKE.

Hey @davidebybc.bsky.social and @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social. The ratio of excluded management positions to union workers has crept up to 1-to-3. If we reduce it down to a more reasonable 1-to-4 ratio we would save $275m/yr. The current BCGEU proposal only ads $91m/yr. 🤯 #bcgeu #solidarity #strike

This might be niche but... Is Charles Demers on the BC gov bargaining committee because their offer is a joke. #BCGEU #DadJoke #FairDealNow #BCGEUStrike

I'm not the best at math. But if you're already paying someone a salary to do something, hiring a contractor to do that exact same work sounds like you're spending more money, not saving it. #BCPoli globalnews.ca/video/114317...

ENHANCE!!!!

I'm very saddened to learn about the passing of Merlyn Williams. He was one of the best story tellers I ever met. I especially liked the one about the wood thief in Yellowknife woodyard. He was a real character and will be missed by many. My condolences to his family. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The dictionaries are now suing an "ai" company. "Britannica says those summaries often lift its content verbatim without permission, diverting readers who might otherwise visit its sites, traffic the company relies on for subscriptions and ad dollars."

The expansion need not be electrified, per BC Premier David Eby. Asked today whether he's ok with LNG Canada Phase 2 using gas, Eby said: "The final decision about the mode of powering the sites will be LNG Canada's, but the project is fully permitted as a natural gas powered expansion." #bcpoli

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

‘AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex.’ I’ll ask again: What is the trillion dollar problem that this trillion dollar technology is supposed to solve? A difficulty writing emails?

Well, @davidebybc.bsky.social thinks government employees don't deserve a raise this year because there are tough times a head. And how do you expect government employees to deal with those rising costs Mr. Premier? We have bills and need to eat too. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/04/b...

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

This guy is at impasse with the majority of the workers doing the labour of his government but won't agree to give them a #COLA MLAs have their wages tied to inflation. And sure, they agreed to freeze them this year, after their +$10-60k top-up. cheknews.ca/b-c-politici...

The only possible excuse for not slamming the brakes on emissions at this point is "fuck them grandkids" which, if you think about it, is not a very strong moral argument.
