Tommy Tuberville may be the literal dumbest person ever elected to Congress. And listen, not everyone needs to be Einstein. But this man is dumber than a bag of rocks, and he is doing a disservice to the people of Alabama.

A whole $8M going to Cuba, the day after Canada upped its 4-year contribution to Ukraine to $25B.

Maclean's approached me about writing a personal essay on Alberta Secession and my opposition to it. It was published today. macleans.ca/politics/i-d...

Definitely nothing to see here. Move along.

Don’t worry. The same AIs are definitely giving proper health advice, and business advice, and policy advice.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

👀 Might want to see the numbers on this one.

Scott has spent the last 15 years of his life working in the highest echelons of government, as FL Governor (from 2011-2019) and as a U.S. Senator (since 2019), during which time he has undermined every effort to use the tools of governance to improve the public sphere.

So Meta is using AMD shareholder money to get chips at a steep discount? Who would have thought that tech CEOs were extreme couponers. I guess the pyramid keeps growing until it doesn’t.

I regret to inform you the us men’s hockey team sucks ass.

Genuinely fascinated by this "emergency shovelers" concept. This is... maybe what it looks like when your city gives a shit about the sidewalks being cleared too, not just the roads? 🤔

Canada has a moral obligation to stave off a humanitarian crisis and a long-standing (+ well-supported) history of ignoring the American embargo on Cuba. It would be absurd if we didn't do something.

Hopefully the Canadian government is taking notes.

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. (Published 2022)

Whoa. A company has announced that their product will render its competitor's long-established reliable product obsolete? Time for me, a credulous sap, to liquidate my holdings!

I bet there are even more price arbitrage and shenanigans happening on the day to day grocery pricing. More than high prices I’ve noticed massive price volatility. Soup cans that go from $3 to $1.50 and back. Butter that goes from $5 to $9 and back.

john yoo, the guy who put the "we" in "we tortured some folks"

Move over stoics! Why we should all embrace nihilism – and discover what really matters in life | Gemma Parker

This is such an obsequious, pandering statement. It puts openAI completely in the driver's seat and portrays government as this helpless little guy. Here's some words for Solomon to consider: - "Demanding" - "Explanation" - "Warning" - "Consequences" - "Failure" - "Comply" - "New" - "Regulations"

US women’s hockey team say they can’t attend Trump’s state of the union address because they’re already scheduled to be somewhere there aren’t any misogynistic pedophiles.

A significant number of Americans think that being racist should be free speech but calling someone racist should not be.

This is reckless.

When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract to operate a new detention center in Texas, it made headlines. Why? Because the company that won the job was so small, it operated out of a single-family home in Richmond, Virginia.

Thy literally put it in the Louvre www.reuters.com/video/watch/...

Welcome to the One Third Reich. It has always been that bedrock 1/3 of the population who will support Trump and more racist sadism.

The WHOLE thread. Tl;dr do not use an age verification service

Oh, look. It's the "Free State Project" guy again.

If you follow this logic, the next step is eugenics and not wasting food/resources on humans that have been deemed unworthy.

The Olympic wolfdog turns out (no surprise) to be a genius who can open doors as well as an athlete who can get over an 8 foot fence

Sincere question: Has the Minister of AI, @evansolomon.bsky.social, said anything about the OpenAI-Tumbler Ridge revelations?

OpenAI has a lot of explaining to do, and might want to start by revealing to authorities what responses ChatGPT gave during interactions with Van Rootselaar.

Masnick: "This is what so many of us kept pointing out throughout the 'Twitter Files' hysteria: the 'free speech' grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech."

Yeah, increased scrutiny… that is definitely the reason.

Makes sense.

people love the boom-bust parts of the hype cycle, it makes for great entertainment, but the "slope of enlightenment" where the new technology finds real (and often unexpected!) use cases is the actually interesting part

Yup. Feels very much like Brexit. Might be time to rewatch the film Brexit: The Uncivil War with Benedict Cumberbatch.

To my mind, this is the single tweet that explains 95% of the energy behind the MAGA movement.

Shame on you Globe & Mail. No, Canada is not poorer than Alabama. "Despite lower economic growth per person, most Canadians earn more, live longer and fare better than Americans." policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/04/cana...

here's my latest: Modi does not want diplomacy with Canada, Modi wants Canada to stand down and to have India skirt any real accountability from Canadian authorities. And under Carney, the Canadian government seems more than willing to allow just that.  www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/20/o...

In theory, we know this is true. But "struck down" doesn't quite capture it. These tariffs were obviously and transparently illegal. They were knowingly illegal. It is a stain on the Court that something so obviously illegal was allowed to stand for a year. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scotus-...

GOP SCOTUS first explicitly applied "major questions" in 2022 and it's already in shambles. Roberts & Barrett struggle to explain why it exists; Gorsuch's extremist version is untethered from reality; Thomas's "core" is invented out of thin air; Kavanaugh & Alito essentially admit it's Calvinball.

Exactly right. That speech was a declaration of war on federalism.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Also, they ruled out breaking up the (broken, toxic) RCMP to stand up a new federal policing agency that would have competency in this area.
