@tibo_maker @garrytan It would help if we weren’t still stuck on the signup page trying to figure out what counts a valid password.

there are genuinely 2 internets right now
1. where AGI is basically here, codebases write themselves, agents run entire workflows, and every founder is talking about their 10x productivity gains
2. where a real customer, paying real money, takes a photo of their laptop screen with their phone to share something
the hype wave we all live in makes it feel like everything has changed, and in some ways it has
but here's the thing nobody says out loud: roughly 85% of the world has never even opened ChatGPT - not even once
we're having a civilizational debate about superintelligence while most people are just trying to figure out basic software
both realities are true at the same time
the gap between them is just a lot wider than the timeline makes it seem

Who should stay depends on some combination of "who can win?" and "who can push the envelope without pushing it to a purity politics pissing contest?"
Mainstreet said Elliott, Black, Findlay and Milobar would lead the NDP in a general, but only Milobar would result in a clear Conservative majority.

@MarkPEI @jonkay @NDP @Quillette There are actually two flags on stage, but the the other one is Venezuelan.

@jonkay @NDP @Quillette How many Canadian flags do you see on this stage? I only see 1 flag and it’s not Canadian…

if anyone recognizes this hilarious they/them @NDP emcee, it's Adrienne Smith—the “non-binary” DEI consultant who led an infamous 2021 genderwang struggle session for BC employees. I got a recording of that session & wrote it up for @Quillette

@IonaItalia Yeah, the best way to get along is for me to stay the hell out of our kitchen until it's time to wash dishes.

I have been searching all my life for a man who feels this way.

Respectfully, I don't think cooking together is romantic. Please move tf out of my way. One person cooks, the other sits at the counter and drinks wine and says things like "that smells so good" or "I love the things you cook."

@joansview @avilewis That hardly seems block-worthy. Perhaps it was just some aide triggered by your flags.
English
For my congratulations, @avilewis blocked me. I guess he is either really, really thin skinned or he opposes freedom of expression. Buhbye NDP.

In honour of the Junos, this is one the best things I've ever read about anything. Six years ago, VICE got a British music critic to utterly shred the entire history of the awards. vice.com/en/article/i-l…

Interesting weekend, between the race/gender/class war discourse of the NDP convention, and this, which might be called generation/class war discourse of the new right. This version of what's available now seems more realistic and constructive of the two.
I'm not excited about either, but some things have to change in this country. It appears that we (and the world) are undergoing a left/right realignment, the nature and outcome of which is evolving and hard to predict. I hope we can get though this without destroying ourselves.

The Supreme Court spent last week hearing potentially one of the most important cases in its history.
If, as a myriad of progressive activists and the federal Liberal government want, the Court invents new limits on Sec 33 with absolutely no basis in the text or history, it will be completely upending our constitutional order and creating a massive political earthquake that we do not need.
Please, Justices of the Supreme Court, please don't do something stupid, leave Sec 33 alone.

Quoting Ezra wasn't on my list of aspirations, but here we are.

I used to laugh when I saw this sort of thing in university. But university students grow up and become teachers, bureaucrats, lawyers and judges. This is your ruling class now.

@michaeltaube For all his faults, at least Eby appears to have had enough sense to stay away from the coronation, or at least the stage.

I'm not sure if I'll ever say or write this again...but good on Nenshi. The further away he is from Lewis and the federal NDP clown show, the better. Other provincial NDP leaders should follow Nenshi's lead ASAP.
Naheed Nenshi@nenshi
Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

The results are in! Congratulations to @avilewis, Leader of Canada's NDP. After an exciting leadership race, we're fired up and ready for the important work ahead!

Share a bit. I don’t want to belittle the category of software. People did amazing work in the world of payroll software (agile manifest etc). But at some point a csv is created and it has a row per payee and it happens twice a week. Shopify pays out millions of businesses and moves billions a day. And we took 20m of financing ever before we went public (and had it all still in the bank when we did).
The scale of nonsense that’s happening with government bespoke software is just unexplainable without fraudulent intent. But it also tracks with everything else you hear about government efficiency (minus maybe military). It’s not that it costs 10b to make a payroll software that is the problem. It’s that it costs this much for anything that the government tries to do itself. The only conclusion is that the government needs to do a lot less.

Canada's been a bit mediocre about a few things in the last decade, but I have to admit it was pretty clever to corral most of the mentally ill citizens into one unelectable party.

HAPPENING NOW: Union activist and NDP leadership candidate Rob Ashton suggests we "eat the damn rich" to thunderous applause at the party's convention.
English
@howardanglin Wow. I'd only been paying half attention and had thought that Ashton was the rational choice in that lot. But he's clearly just as nuts as some of the others.

But only if you purchase them at a government grocery store first.

Never quite seen a "how it started/how it's going" like this. Truly astounding. Very sad. thefp.com/p/the-radicali…

Well, this explains why wacky Lewis is the frontrunner.

In case you thought I was joking: Here’s an NDP delegate/transwoman bitching that his “equity card” (which is supposed to allow one to jump to the front of the line to speak) didn’t work — and a “cis woman” got to speak before he did.

@MikePMoffatt @tylermeredith Well said.
Vancouver Centre is not going NDP. Ever. (Unless boundaries change).
He wasn’t able to get a safer or more likely riding in which to run.
My prediction is Don Davies “gives” him Vancouver Kingsway next election or bielection. And he might not even win that.
English
I’ve heard this claim before - that Avi Lewis “isn’t a politician”
It’s kinda funny.
He’s actually run as an NDP candidate 2x before (in 2021 and 2025 elections) — and come third both times.
He’s also a legacy NDPer.
He’s a politician.
He just doesn’t want you to think that.
English
@SpencerJJoseph Well, our names have the same number of syllables and we both live in the same hemisphere, so at least we have that.

If you don’t find this funny we may have nothing in common
