Just got outta the TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 35th anniversary rerelease and Jesus Christ, man. What a movie. They had to do all that shit for real. They had to fly that helicopter under an overpass. They had to blow up that building. They had to find an actor who could turn into liquid metal.

If we are going by "Roadside Attraction," which this contest is about, Mr. PG is the clear winner. If we are going by "Historic or Heritage Site" it's Barkerville.
I have big feelings about the categorization of this contest which is unfairly penalizing Mr. PG.

Closing Point Ellice House (again)
Round and round it will go as the politicians and the bureaucrats keep doing the same thing while expecting a different outcome.

My least favorite thing about living in Prince George is emailing my conservative MLA and MP and never receiving a response because they know they could put a whacky inflatable tube man in a bad suit and run them as a conservative and still win, so why engage with their constituents?

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

The problems with Bluesky are true with every other platform. It's not that it's a bubble, though. It's that people feel a desire to protect a place they like.
I don't agree with Cuban here but I think we need to come up with ways to not let this become its story.

Bluesky is backfiring. Mark Cuban says the 'lack of diversity of thought' is actually pushing users back to X
The billionaire argues Bluesky’s liberal-heavy user base creates an echo chamber.
