"A #Green party spokesperson said #antisemitism requires a cross-party effort & for #politicians to reduce tensions rather than escalate them, adding: 'It does feel like the world is upside down when #Reform are invited to be part of an initiative to tackle antisemitism but the #GreenParty - & its #Jewish leader - aren’t.'"

  5. "Content that attacks #Jews (directly or indirectly) performs well. High-performing #content attracts more #creators. More creators produce more of the same content. #Audiences become conditioned to expect and reward it. #Politicians and #media respond to the shift in public sentiment.

    The loop tightens.

    At no point does it require central coordination. It runs on decentralized decisions, each individually rational, collectively corrosive. And like any system driven by incentives, it scales.

    To state the obvious, #antisemitism is not new. What is new is the structure surrounding it. In previous eras, antisemitism spread through institutions like churches, governments, and political movements. Today, it spreads through #markets: attention markets, #media markets, #political markets.

    That shift matters because markets don’t ask whether something is true or just. They ask whether it works. And right now, in too many cases, attacking Jews works."

    More news on #Regina's elimination of #coin payment at downtown #parking meters. For those who missed the last episode of "Clueless Elected #Politicians Who Think Everyone Lives Exactly Like They Do", the city switched to electronic-only payments that (a) absolutely require you to use a cell #phone to pay, and (b) route all payments through a US-owned company that won't guard your personal information.

    From the article:

    > Council also approved #Mayor Chad #Bachynski’s suggestion to introduce prepaid parking
    > vouchers as an additional option [...]
    >
    > The pre-paid vouchers are [...] offered in packs of five for $13.75 at city hall and are
    > valid at any regular parking meter.

    Note: you can't park at city hall without plugging a meter. So you'll need a parking #voucher before you can go purchase parking vouchers.

    This price also means it costs three times as much to park for a half hour as it did previously. If you were used to running brief errands and only plugging a quarter into the #meter, it'll cost *twelve* times as much.

    > “[The vouchers] are less convenient than the #app,” acknowledged the city’s director of
    > community standards, Faisal Kalim, after the meeting. “Our message for residents is
    > to download the app. It is a good system and it is a practical way to park.”

    "You don't have a smart phone? Our message is just go get a smart phone."
