Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

when the RAM/SSD shortage/price fixing is mentioned in youtube video without mentioning the fucking ai clowns that go us here—

I'm so uninterested in folks that go out of their way to acknowledge a problem, even make a whole video about, then refuse to explore how we got there

Last night I went to the B.C. Housing led meeting on the “Tiny Home Village” proposed on 20th Street in New West. The meeting was filled with coordinated attendees who came to spread misinformation drilled into them by the bigoted chaos agents known as NWP in #newwest. Some of the misinfo incl: 1/

The story itself is a concerning example of a privacy-focused host's liabilities and limitations.

Sunrise in Victoria, BC was 6:50am PST today. In Nelson it was 6:27am.

Meanwhile, Creston was 7:24am MST and 7:04am in Medicine Hat.

It's all arbitrary. Anyone arguing about standard versus daylight time is being needlessly pedantic. This includes self described sleep experts.

B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News March 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

Locations that observe Mountain Time
There are a small number of communities in eastern parts of British Columbia that observe some form of Mountain Time instead of Pacific Time. Those regions will not be impacted by these changes.
However, as a result of Pacific Time no longer changing twice a year, many of these communities will be brought into greater alignment with the rest of British Columbia.

For example, Dawson Creek, which observes Mountain Standard Time year-round, will be on the same time as most other places in British Columbia, both in the winter and summer months. Whereas places like Cranbrook that observe Mountain Time, but switch between standard and daylight times, will be aligned with the rest of the province during in the winter months, but will be one hour ahead in the summertime.

Quick Facts:
• B.C.’s new time zone, Pacific Time (PT), will be aligned with the Yukon year‐round.
• From November to March annually, PT will match Alberta and other regions observing MST; and from March to November every year, will align with California, Washington, Oregon and other Pacific Daylight Time jurisdictions.
• Neighbour jurisdictions like Washington, Oregon, and California are all in the process of creating or enacting similar legislation.

Here's what the change means in practice:

BC will share a time zone with the Yukon year round

November to March, BC will be on the same time zone as Alberta

March to November, BC will be on the same time zone as Washington state, Oregon and California

Canada condemns Iran's retaliatory attacks
Justin Li
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said in a statement that Canada "strongly condemns the attacks of the Iranian regime against our partners in the Middle East."

Anand further urged Canadians in Iran to shelter in place and said Ottawa will "provide all possible support to Canadians throughout the region."

Canada currently has no diplomatic relations with Iran, nor does it have an embassy there.

The United States and Israel have the right to bomb and murder whoever they please.

The countries they attack have no right to fight back.

This is the exact double standard on international law Mark Carney was praised for calling out at Davos, but which he continues to participate in.

Office of the Prime Minister
Cabinet du
Premier Ministre
Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.
