In my latest for @thetyee.ca, I argue that Canada’s progressive parties should forge a one-time united front in time for the next federal election. Their first priority should be to introduce some form of proportional representation. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024...

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.

You're free to disagree about whether such actions advanced a movement or held it back. What you can't do is judge the validity of a movement based on the violent actions of some of its members.

Always good to remember that past political advances were not made without a fight: "Suffragettes in Great Britain and Ireland orchestrated a bombing and arson campaign between the years 1912 and 1914." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffrag...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A request for people with institutional access: I've been fixing several bad references on a Wikipedia article. They linked to a full-text archive which has since shut down and didn't cite the original sources, just headlines.
