A four-panel comic strip, rendered in the style of Lego minifigures, depicts a simplified and cartoonish execution scene. The top-left panel shows a clergyman figure, wearing a white miter and robes, holding a closed book next to another figure in brown robes. In the top-right panel, an executioner figure in a black hood pulls a large wooden lever. The bottom-left panel is an overhead perspective, showing the clergyman and executioner looking down from above, while another figure hangs from a r…

1) Convincing victory of united left in second round as António José Seguro elected president of Portugal with 67% of second round vote, a rout for far right Chega.
2) In the Bourbon monarchy next door, right PP wins regional election in Aragon but will depend on far right Vox doubled representation. Centre left PSOE diminishes, left Sumar hangs on to 1 seat while Podemos vanishes.
Broad left unity defeats the right in these PR systems.

Donald Trump said that the US-Israel war in Iran will end “soon” because there is “practically nothing left to target” in a phone interview with Axios.
“Any time I want it to end, it will end,” the president told the outlet.
“The war is going great. We are way ahead of the timetable.
We have done more damage than we thought possible, even in the original six-week period.”

A key message in the report: no single trust model fits Europe’s diversity. Instead, DC4EU proposes a pluralistic approach, weaving together three complementary trust infrastructures.

I bought a pair of 25' Intellitron stainless steel whip antennas from GigaParts while they were on sale ("two is one and one is none" and the second one tipped me me into "free shipping" making its marginal cost pretty low). On removing them from the packages, however, loose roll pins fell out, and the bases fell off the antennas. Both of them.
A roll pin is an inappropriate fastener to use to connect two concentric thin-walled tubes, so this is a design failure. And the roll pins are …

Rob Shaw is solidifying his position as the new Dean of Right Wing, anti-Worker Legislative Reporters in British Columbia.
With these gems, it's incredible that he has an education or goes to a doctor at all…
"The BCTF is typically one of the most militant unions, and quickly prone to job action.”
BCTF Strikes since 2000:
2005
2014
phew! almost got to three!
Remember that this was at the time of a union-busting BC Liberal government that had to go to the Supreme Court of Canada to get told that they ripped up union contracts unconstitutionally and were *forced* to compensate many years later.
"The ratification is a win for a New Democrat government. And extraordinarily expensive for taxpayers, too."
“extraordinarily expensive. Really? How is a wage increase that is *barely* in line with inflation after literally decades of below-inflation increases, “extraordinary”? I'll wait.
"Teachers can thank the BCGEU for turning what was an initial 3.5 per cent wage offer over two years by government, into a more than 12 per cent increase over four that is now forming the baseline for all other union deals."
Indeed! For those who can do math, that means 3% each of 4 years instead of 3.5 over two. But thanks Rob for making it seem like 4 times more!
Thanks BCGEU members for your solidarity and perceverence! I have been on strike. It sucks HARD. But it was worth it and it works.
"The ratification by the BCTF means roughly half of the 450,000 public sector employees now have deals of some sort with the province. Two majors left on the table are nurses and doctors.”
Oh no! Let’s not pay doctors and nurses! Surely they'll stay regardless in our incredibly overworked and under resourced healthcare system!
Like how does Mr Shaw believe we are to stay competitive or attract people. Or is he just not worried about getting sick….
"The skyrocketing deficit has the NDP government inking sweetheart deals with organized labour on the one hand, while pledging to cut public sector jobs with the other.”
Ya, we could have kept those public sector jobs if it weren't for fools like you who demanded governments cut taxes over the past 20 years instead of reasonable rises to... again…keep up with inflation and retain service!
It is a crappy balancing act that the NDP is doing and I do not like a lot of it. At the same time as Mr. Shaw complains about "sweetheart deals" for people in post-secondary, I am seeing historic cuts in that same sector. It's a blood bath actually. So the potential wage increases are going to be welcome, but feel pretty hollow as so many collegues have left.
Rob Shaw would have had us all lose our jobs and take a pay cut at the next one for good measure.
Thanks but no thanks Rob, your world view sucks.

Everything about AI is horrible, by the way. Everything about AI sucks. I was talking to a woman a few months ago, and I said, what do you do? She goes, well, I work in AI, and I got really snotty.

And she said, no, my job, specifically, is to keep it from becoming racist. And I was like, one more time? And she said, yeah, AI tends to become racist, and I try to guide it back towards tolerance and equanimity. And I said, you left out a lot of steps.

A close-up, top-down photograph of a single, worn pink metal hair snap clip resting on a light-colored wooden surface. The clip has a decorative, wavy scalloped edge. On the left end, there is a small, slightly off-center illustration of a smiling white cartoon cat face. The paint on the clip and the cat graphic is chipped and distressed, and the metal is visibly worn along the edges. The clip is oriented horizontally, with the closed snap mechanism and a tiny hole visible on the right end. The…

A black‑and‑white photograph showing several leafless trees on the left side of the frame. Their thin branches extend upward and outward against a blank sky that occupies the right side. Among the branches, a small star‑shaped object is visible, positioned slightly above the center. The scene is quiet and minimal, with strong contrast between the dark branches and the pale sky.

A black‑and‑white close view of a gravel surface. Two parallel curved tracks run through the gravel, suggesting something small moved across it. The gravel pieces vary in size and create a rough texture. The tracks are slightly darker than the surrounding stones and form gentle arcs across the frame.

A nighttime black‑and‑white image showing a triangular traffic sign behind a metal fence. The sign is illuminated and displays the character “让,” meaning “give way to.” Vertical and horizontal metal bars in the foreground partially obscure the sign, creating a grid‑like pattern.
