Like don’t get me wrong I’d love to see the Indian Act replaced by something written & defined directly by First Nations people but —given this government has repeatedly treated Indigenous consultation as an obstacle/nuisance to their national designs— I don’t think that’s what this is…

"unable to complain" is just so, SO telling, to me
Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

Many Americans reacting to this with "I hope this doesn't happen to us in November" and like, no you dumb fucks he's saying this shit because he wants to give YOUR GOVERNMENT cover to interfere further.
Flávio Bolsonaro calls for Brazil's election results to be "annulled" after a loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

looks like this BC election had the most dismal turnout in provincial history — preliminary results are around 48%, compared to the last low of 54% in 2020. elections.bc.ca/resources/re...

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Specifically, everyone involved in the disqualification of Anjali Appadurai needs to be cleared out This election was a slow moving disaster that began at the last leadership race
COPE has become the model of cooperation that is the antithesis of how this provincial election was called and managed. Delegates to the next BC NDP Convention need to organize now to clear the leadership of every person who backed the snap election.

Fewer people voted for BC Conservatives this year than in 2024. NDP 2024: 944,463 2026: 669,257 CON: 2024: 911,142 2026: 860,565 NDP appealed to right-wing voters they didn't get. Their base felt ignored and decided to not vote? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Br... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Br...

Just want to point out, that with preliminary numbers, the only party to increase the # of votes is @bcgreens.bsky.social. Both Conservative and NDP lost voters. And those complaining of vote splitting, they each lost more than the Greens gained. Apathy won this election.
