Now that's a really good point right there. Pretty much the best argument for strict donation caps and strict advertising caps.

This ain't the timeline for abstaining from wine anyway.

Awesome! Canada is investing more in our space launch capabilities! Great news for Canada and Nova Scotia! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Doug Ford is defending amending Ontario's Freedom of Information Laws to keep his cell phone records private by saying that we have to protect ourselves against "the Communist China" and if we don't make a mockumentary TV show about this man then I don't know what Canadian TV is doing

Seems like even Rubio is getting tired of the BS. Wonder how long it will take him to flip to a never trumper once Don kicks the bucket.

Good morning!

Saying what you mean is definitely a rare skill.

Cooperatives are widely supported in the United States. New data shows the same is true in Canada. People value the ability of co-ops to weather economic recessions better than other types of businesses, as well as their democratic and inclusive nature. abacusdata.ca/canadians-wa...

Well, shit. A smidge of foresight.

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August. A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

This might be a dumb question for people who know the answer, but why do data centres need a continuous supply of fresh water for cooling? Wouldn't recirculated grey water do, given the proper facility design?

Hmm. Two ChatGPT account data export requests haven't been fulfilled after a full day. Perhaps this is a sign of *a lot* of people bugging out and switching.

Just wait until Sam hears that I'm cancelling my subscription tomorrow. He'll be in tears, obvs.

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot: Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus. It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

I sincerely hope that in a couple of months' time, I'm reading a news story about how OpenAI's DoD deal caused outrage and a collapse in their consumer revenue base.

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian. For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

The night before the United States started bombing Iran (again), Sam Altman made an agreement with the Department of War. He cannot be trusted. His company cannot be trusted. It just adds to what I wrote earlier this week.

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

Carney: Canada supports the United States… Canada: no, we fucking do not.

To MSM, Independants, politicians, pundits, &random users who keep talking about November elections, as if you will have them.. OR, not thinking of them to be anything but a total shit show, with decades of lawsuits to go with them, if not all out civil war... Shut. The fuck. Up. Rise... Or fall.

Mmmm so I'm hearing some scuttlebutt that DJT wants to appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. How are we feeling about it, Americans? Also, pre-emptively, sorry for his shit. His parents moved him out of Canada at the age of four, before we could make him into a decent human being. Sorry. #uspoli

BetterTax.ca absolutely wins my business for filing my taxes this year, given that I'm switching off of Intuit. Solely based on this. I love it 🤣

Well then. #AI

WOW nailbiter right down there til the end. Canada Men's hockey team headed to the next round after OT win, Marner clutch. Team Czechia, you guys were phenomenal. Controlled big parts of the game and had the lead right to the last few minutes of the third. Mad respect. #olympics #hockey

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The risk of pairing agentic workflows with LLMs.

Shout out to the group of dudes dressed as the Vatican Swiss Guard at the Switzlerland/Finland quarterfinal. I genuinely belly laughed when the camera cut to them .

Well that's an instant block on all of the music feeds. Down, Canada? Fuck off. Move to Texas.

My business uses Canada Post all the time. Great rates and they ship everywhere, literally everywhere, in Canada. UK Royal Mail privatized in 2013 - service tanked, prices went up and it was sold to a foreign billionaire in 2024. We can do better in Canada.

I absolutely love that short track speed skaters on the same team give their buddies a butt push on each lap to boost them lol. It just makes me smile. #olympics #teamcanada
