26 of the 27 EU member states use proportional systems, as well as the EU Parliament. If Mark Carney believes this is where the international order will be rebuilt, let's join them and embrace the same democratic standard.

It was me. I did it.

Planners only want one thing and it's disgusting.

Dad gaming update: I think I just finished the best game I’ve ever played. youtu.be/H-yTZFi-_eY?...

There are legitimately wonderful aspects of Kinew’s premiership, but man his populist instincts are dogshit.

This objectively intelligent man has a unique ability to every once in a while sound like the dumbest motherfucker alive.

If it's truly all hands on deck to provide housing of all types and tenure, I'd hope to be seeing @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social on this list of municipalities pre-reviewing the CMHC Housing Design Catalogue very soon. www.housingcatalogue.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/how-it-works...

But seriously though, keep building your processes around these companies and their forever-tech.

Waiting on the preorder of the premium bundle is burning a tiny hole in my brain.

LLMs trained on stolen fictional IP where AI nukes the planet recommend nuking the planet. This isn't hard.

That hour where I thought he might have a shred of integrity sure was nice.

Having spent half my life in dressing rooms I must remind everyone that a lot of hockey players are very, very dumb.

Hundred bucks to the local journalist who asks Hellebuyck and Connor about this.

Nothing hits quite like an utterly professional “what the fuck are we doing here boys?”

Mayor’s public safety policy file: status update. Don’t stand down speak-up Winnipeg about this & contact me with questions or concerns [email protected]

If you’re looking for ways to help people in Minneapolis, this @minnmax.com charity stream will go directly to rent assistance for those who are afraid to leave their homes. www.youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

Reminder: journalists get arrested in Canada too. In fact, The Narwhal is in court right now challenging the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken. Our editor-in-chief,Carol Linnitt, testifies today and Monday, and court is open to the public if you're in Vancouver.

New Boots Riley dropping in May. Hell. Yes. youtu.be/rnfTmSAnS3c?...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

After the world juniors this year there were some in the hockey world lamenting many kids getting priced out of the game early resulting in soft, spoiled rich kids over represented in elite North American players. The other result is a political monoculture in the game that looks like this.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

I finished Immortality and my first thought was "dear lord I hope @jacobgeller.com has talked about this game." He has! This scene made my jaw drop to the floor. The start of 2026 has been a lot, it's been refreshing to shed a tear reflecting on the necessity of art. youtu.be/DKiHSRYawIM?...

Banger quote. It's going in my saved library.

In 1936, when Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics, a counter-Olympics, the People’s Olympiad, was supposed to be held in Barcelona as a protest against fascism. It had to be cancelled when the Spanish Civil War broke out.

This. Justin's whole thread on Carney's speech is worth reading, but this hits the nail on the head.

FAFO

I really hate the game I love.

and Roger is one of those specific narrative experiences that could only be a video game. This one hits and sticks, man. youtu.be/R5Ink1cIvpo?...

Not having any family or friends in Minnesota, I’ve been thinking about the @minnmax.com cohort a lot. Solidarity and love from the @haleyfax.bsky.social part of the world. Ice out of Minneapolis.

Been listening to Disembodied Tyrant’s latest. Not sure why.

If we're serious about housing affordability in NA, this is the kind of analysis required (in this case: elevators). MB adopted NBC 2020 in 2024 which will require more elevators in more part 3 buildings. Zoning & building codes are the long term, industry shifting answer. youtu.be/Or1_qVdekYM?...

Pleased to announce my Bluesky post below already has more engagement than the top tweet on X from Canada’s governing Liberal caucus

The modern project of every global tech hub is to decimate the living wage. Will you be able to afford this in the next 20 years to "make housework a thing of the past"? No. A toy for the rich who will just fire the cleaning service they were already using. www.dezeen.com/2026/01/06/l...

Some insight in the comments on the nature of the mayor's use of Bluesky at the moment vis a vis the @bkives.bsky.social post on his question to the mayor about remaining on X.

I needed a break at lunch.

Genuine question to those who might know (@stateofthecity.bsky.social?): is the mayor's account crossposting to X and Bluesky? The last post to Bluesky is a month old - not sure what it looks like over on X.

You sit at home and scroll and watch a American extrajudicial murder in near-real time.

Today in wading through the slop: Quoted on a planned server upgrade for our business in November. Today we're informed the cost is now double due to the scarcity of SSDs due to AI data centres scooping up everything. Fuck our small business I guess, glad the CSAM on X is going well though.

I'm doing my best @parismarx.com impression here, but I'm wondering if anyone can point me to tools that could help establish the provenance of the image I discuss here. I'd really like to determine if it was produced using a generative model.

I wasn't able to present to City Centre Community Committee this morning to voice my support, but encouraged to see this proposal pass with minor amendments in my community. Seeing this play out online revealed yet another way GenAI is making everything worse. Short thread: 1/5

The topic of P&M makes me irrationally angry. Not because it was so important, but because it was all so stupid. 1 of 2 things can be true of the councillors mentioned below: what I said is true OR they genuinely believed the baseless claims made in favour of keeping the intersection closed. 1/?

This report cover goes so hard.

To be clear: the 2 councillors quoted here orchestrated the plebiscite question because they were on the outside of EPC looking in with a mayor they didn’t like. There will never be accountability for the accessibility impacts and wasted taxpayer $. They were playing a game and we were the pawns.

RIP to a legend

YouTube 2025 recap reveals that I am elite at watching @minnmax.com

Honestly shocked KPop Demon Hunters is only in third. The universal parent experience of 2025.

Guys, I'm starting to think the Liberals aren't the answer.
