Democrats propose actual capitalism
JUST IN: Democrats propose letting AI companies go bankrupt rather than bailing them out if AI bubble bursts

The wealthiest 10% will end up living in the nicest 10% of the housing stock. If we don't build lots of nice new 'luxury' housing, then they'll take the nicest 10% of whatever is available.
A left-NIMBY told me renters keep being renovicted; I asked how he deals with population growth and he said he opposes all developments that aren't affordable so I said it sounds like he’s just renovating old rental homes for rich people and then his tenants union started crying.

The perfect Oilers goaltender mentally. Let’s in 5 and then locks in all Overtime and shootout. Rockstar shit

Welcome back, Picks! After three seasons with the #Oilers and helping the team to back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances, Calvin Pickard was given a warm welcome during the 1st period of tonight's game. #LetsGoOilers

Wallstedt is unreal, too bad the Oilers never had a chance to draft him.

Not to get political over the Vancouver Municipal Election but it’s hilarious to me that Ken Sim who was against public Canucks playoff watch parties got voted out at the moment the Canucks are the farthest from playoffs.

And separate Forementon from the league while we’re at it
The only separation in Alberta I support is separating McDavid and Draisaitl to two separate lines.

Alberta is stronger with Canada and Canada is stronger with Alberta.

No.
They would be better off. Alberta and Saskatchewan should separate too.

I've voted BC NDP before, but @Dave_Eby this is a mistake. Earning $190K in Vancouver doesn't make you rich. These are doctors, lawyers and accountants still paying off student loans, raising little kids and trying to save 20% down in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. Push them harder and many will leave, and take their work, jobs and brain gain with them.
NEW - @Dave_Eby proposes to raise income taxes on top two brackets by 2 percentage points, to generate $1b in extra revenue for BC. • $190,405-$265,545 will go from 16.8% to 18.8% • $265,545-$1m will go from 20.5% to 22.5% • New $1m+ tax at 24.5%

AI needs watermarks on all AI produced content inclusive of multi media and audio disclaimers. What the hell are we doing here?
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard. cellcog.ai/blog/tavus-gri… research.nvidia.com/labs/amri/proj… tech-ish.com/2026/10/02/tav…

This is why normies hate tech bros. Nobody wants “infinite personalized music.” You’re creating problems that don’t exist so you can sell a solution no one needs
I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago. Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.
