I think that this quote from Heinlein captures a lot of how I feel about the general state of the world at this moment:
"Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

I learned very early in my research/coding career that garbage in equals garbage out. Unfiltered trash going into LLMs means even worse things coming out, and (to borrow a musical analogy), the distortions will get louder with each successive I/O.

Sunday is pretty far off so I wouldn’t trust that, but the models do show snow Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday in downtown Vancouver

This one is specific to Prince George, but also really well done:

Canada’s Visa Requirements Are Forcing Students in Gaza to Put Dreams on Hold
Students accepted by Canadian universities struggle to figure out how to leave Gaza and comply with strict visa rules.
It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada.
Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism.

Absolutely fucking disgraceful. Beyonds words how sycophantic and disgusting this is.

BC snowpack update!
After some warm weather in early February and some serious snowfall in the last week or so, snowpacks in BC are, on average, still right around average.
However:
❄️ ++ in the the northern half and Rockies/Interior, especially NE BC
❄️ -- in the southern half

The hand-wringing over gas prices (and gleefully noting that Alberta’s deficit suddenly gets smaller) because the US decided to illegally attack Iran is really tacky.
Rather than ramping up Canada’s oil and gas production this is yet another very loud and clear signal to get off fossil fuels.

Supporting the imperialist war-mongering of our southern neighbour (the one who keeps calling us the 51st state and is waging economic warfare via tariffs) is a terrible look.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
