"Full Self Driving" #Tesla chooses the wrong lane, despite cheating with pre-loaded maps and in broad daylight, then cuts across the bike lane. Safe, @NHTSAgov?

One of the clearest and most important sentences you'll read, showing how US media really works, from WashPost op-ed by @RidT:
** "We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation — even if they probably aren't." **https://t.co/T7LUOvorlI

Apparently there’s been a provincial election. Polls closed an hour ago or thereabouts but in this hyper technological, super advanced world, nobody will know the results for weeks.
Officials with Elections BC said more than 700,000 votes have been cast by mail-in ballot, which must be tabulated manually due the timing of the Oct. 24 election. The results that would generally be available hours after the polls close, they added, will be postponed for weeks while the votes are counted.
The setup may have been different had the election taken place a year from now as scheduled, but NDP Leader John Horgan announced the surprise campaign, citing the need for political stability during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For God’s sake, just locate the polling stations in Home Depot stores where it’s safe, and mandate in-person voting.
Results here.
My BC election commentary follows.
"the right has long been hegemonic" is the dumbest fucking thing I've seen all night and I spent half of it on miniature cooking videos.

Covid Kabuki: 3.5 million people who arrived in Canada since March exempted from quarantine requirement
Banff’s Mount Norquay Ski Resort is preparing to open the mountain on Saturday (Oct.24), the earliest date in its 95th year of operation.
Norquay will be the first ski hill to open in the country this season, and is typically one of the first resorts to open for the ski season.
“We’ve received over 30 centimetres of snow with great overnight temperatures that allowed us to make a lot of snow,” said general manager Andre Quenneville.
“We have also made some improvements to our snowmaking system since last winter, which has increased our efficiency. Having overnight temperatures hovering around -9, -10 is what has really allowed us to open up so early.”
Related: Numerous records were broken, including in Val Marie, where the mercury dropped to -27 C, breaking the record of -14 C set back in 2002, and making the community the Canadian cold spot for most of the morning Friday.

National Pulse (Raheem Kassan);
While Biden – or “the big guy” – has his real name attached to his private account for some time, it changed around early 2016, going from “Joseph Biden” to “Peter Henderson” in Hunter’s e-mails.
It is unclear whether this change was on Hunter’s end (on his devices) or on Joe’s, but Peter Henderson’s e-mails included messages such as “Keep in touch, Love Dad” and shared links – often about Hillary Clinton.
In Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series, “Peter Henderson” is the name of a KGB mole that infiltrated the United States government.
Huh.

All your history belongs to them.
The Ottawa Police Service is investigating a hate-motivated graffiti that occurred on Friday, October 16th at the National War Memorial on Wellington Street.
At approximately 9:46pm, a man riding a bike approached the Memorial, used a sharp object to engrave a hate graffiti on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He left the area on the bike.
The suspect is described as Caucasian man. He was wearing a light-coloured sweater, dark pants, a dark tuque, a black back pack and was riding a mountain style bike (see photos).
I don’t know why they’re looking for the vandal. Nothing will happen to him.
