Hungary's prime minister-elect vow to suspend broadcasting of the state-controlled pubic radio and TV he characterizes as "a factory of lies." www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

They should never allow Champagne to be interviewed. Just listened to him on P&P. He's as bad as Chrystia Freeland was. How many times can he repeat the same phrase about "helping Canadians" with this new lift on gas tax? He sounds like a disingenuous, defensive sales robot. He's like this often.

It's so refreshing that Canada's government isn't obsessed with religion. Let's keep it this way!

This really should be a no-brainer for the government. Hopefully they'll implement this ASAP.

"As a nameless cog in a corporate machine, I have worked hours far in excess of those outlined in my hiring contract without overtime pay because I needed health insurance and was afraid of getting fired. I will bring the same fear-based performance to this position."

Anyone know where I can find an explainer on why oil futures and oil spot price are so different, how they close the gap between them, and why exactly this gap in price is so bad? Most articles I've found on this seem to assume readers will know the answers to these Qs.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Probably the best article I've read on this so far. I couldn't have written it better. "The majority of us are employees, yet we seem to have no lobby. The solution is simple...all it requires is that we start treating adults like responsible citizens rather than children who need to be watched.."

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

To scholars of democratic backsliding, it is difficult to overstate how big a deal today's election in Hungary, a country of less than 10 million people, is likely to be as a narrative milestone for our age, regardless of which way it goes.

Britain’s agreement to hand Mauritius the Chagos Islands that are home to a strategic U.K.-American military base is on indefinite hold because U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has withdrawn its support for the deal.

Can Vance & Co persuade Iran not to enrich above 3.67%, to surrender 98% of its enriched uranium stockpile, to allow weekly IAEA inspections, to keep the straits open without tolls, and to stick to that for at least a decade? In other words, the Obama deal.

First Amendment Troop returns to the Lincoln Memorial with “ResistDance vs Redaction” — A protest with young dancers blindfolded, with Epstein Files printed on their leotards to symbolize redacted survivors. The piece reinterprets 13-yr-old Jane Doe 4’s testimony about Trump through movement. ❤️‍🩹

Finally completed a backlog of US taxes from 2022 to now. What a pain in the ass, having to do both US and Canada when I make less than 1/3 of what I'd have to make to pay anything in US. Seriously considering renouncing my US citizenship, now that the cost has been reduced and they've gone nuts.

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

"...power rates are going up, a potential strike of LT care workers looms, the gov is facing scrutiny by credit rating agencies & Houston must find a way to address a recent court decision related to a past Lib government’s contract negotiating tactics that could cost the province untold millions."

"In those documents, they claimed they would use the Edgewood birds to produce a weight loss supplement more effective than Ozempic called OstriTrim and a hair growth product that would reverse balding and hair thinning called OstriGrow." Haha, right.

"Average asking rents rose in Nova Scotia by 3.9% to $2,284. Rents moved 3.7% higher in Saskatchewan to $1,385 and 3.4% in Manitoba to $1,646." Nova Scotia is still the winner of the highest increase. Way to go, us!

I installed this cat door to allow bedroom access but they use it as a viewing port and only go in if there is nobody there

This is a great piece! I love his definitions and examples of the different kinds of stooges.

I didn't know the WCB office had moved to Burnside in Dartmouth in November. So very bus accessible.

Folks need to understand how hard it is to survive as a disabled person. I’m experiencing a housing crisis. I’m not able to paywall my articles but if I don’t do something I’m going to end up losing housing. The system doesn’t care. It would rather see us homeless then let us earn a cent.

Pierre Poilievre demands Ottawa cancel gasoline taxes to offset sky-high prices from Trump's war on Iran (which Poilievre enthusiastically backs). He doesn't want to discuss the true culprit: oil industry profits. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi... #cdnecon #canlab

Considering the huge drop in HRT use after the ridiculous interpretations of the WHI back in 2002, I saw this coming. Makary was actually correct about this one. Women have suffered needlessly for decades, and now there are shortages.

Yesterday, the ProPublica Guild walked off the job in the first strike by a major U.S. newsroom over, at least in part, AI protections. I spoke with striking journalists and union leaders on the picket line in New York for @niemanlab.org. www.niemanlab.org/2026/04/prop...

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

"Even more troublingly, other researchers say, the fake papers were then cited in peer-reviewed literature. Osmanovic Thunström says this suggests that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers."

"Tod takes an expansive approach & examines how different UBI programs were instituted... 1 of these was Mincome. A basic income program implemented in the community of Dauphin, MB, under the auspices of PM Trudeau & then-NDP premier Ed Schreyer btwn 1974 & 1978, the results proved extraordinary."

"Since March 2024, all Irish employees have had a legal right to request remote working." Wow. I'm jealous.

Ontario government protects Ontario government by not saying what Ontario government is spending to tell taxpayers how the Ontario government is protecting them.

If you can’t sack your demented, insane president are you even a democracy?

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Trump says US no longer interested in reopening key shipping channel in Middle East. Says the Strait of Hormuz a very low IQ body of water and any water that gets taken prisoner in a war is loser water.

They may want to start by asking staff what they actually want from these tools. There are some useful things LLMs can do, but so far many of the limited tools for government can't do those things because of privacy, which is a good thing, but also limiting.

This is central to it all

What about rodent road rage?

"For the Aussies that have to drive to work and are starting to struggle to afford the fuel required to get them there, Ms Ballis advised that it may be 'time to look for a new job' that is closer to home or public transport." This is so stupid. Full-time back to office mandates for all are insane.
