Also, at least in BC, provincial prisons (where defendants are held for pretrial detention) are extremely over-capacity right now. If we want to grant bail less, we will have to fund prisons a lot more
Bail isn't a second chance or sentence reduction: it's a measure used before the crime has been proven in a trial — in other words, when the defendant is still considered innocent.
Lots of people talking about bail fundamentally don't understand this
Oh. I cannot wait for discovery.
hey hold on you still owe me two hundred dollars. from before
those were yesterday’s two hundred dollars. I’m focused on today, and building something new for the future. we can’t all stay in the past with you and your obsession about these two hundred dollars I might have hypothetically owed you
[gesturing vaguely] give me two hundred dollars
wait what the fuck really
construction hoarding with a gigantic neon green “IRA” painted on it and a much smaller flyer asking for furry models. I wonder which was there first
graffiti's always an easy out for photography but can there be anywhere quite like Glasgow
My 18,000 word pieces - The Enshittifinancial Crisis and The Case Against Generative AI - are some of my most popular pieces I’ve ever written. Give them a table of contents and people will read whatever
For real, I really need people to please stop going, "Look! The chatbot 'told' me..." with things. See: www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

My mind has been returning to this video all weekend
i don't like when people say "ip" to refer to a film franchise or something. you don't work at the studio. don't talk like that
whenever i make a post that seems like kind of a sweeping statement about something please know that i probably thought about it for 40 seconds total and i only sort of believe it
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed
Best thing a politician, journalist, or even generic citizen can do right now is to stop spending time chilling on Twitter
Glad people are finally realising that the Carney Davos speech, while good and cathartic in many ways, was not in fact a defense of a moral, upright, and unbullyable Canada on the world stage, but rather of a pragmatic and self-centred Canada that goes along to get along with anyone it needs to.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim*
If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.
I love that Anthropic is somehow both a big powerful ai lab with such powerful unique tech and also a tiny small bean trembling in fear and screaming in agony that somebody was able to extract the value of its product by using its outputs. Both hypocritical and pathetic. Washed.
Canada has a moral obligation to stave off a humanitarian crisis and a long-standing (+ well-supported) history of ignoring the American embargo on Cuba. It would be absurd if we didn't do something.
We revealed that Ring's Search Party feature, which turns Ring cameras into an active surveillance network scanning for particular things, is only starting with finding lost dogs
