Traffic in the zone is down 11% compared to pre-toll trends. It may not sound like a lot, but it’s meant really big time saving for some commuters, esp on bridges and tunnels. 51% faster on the Holland Tunnel in the am rush!

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Saturday marked the formal debut of an imperial America, led by a president who recognizes no law, save that of the jungle…Every country in the Western Hemisphere should be worried, particularly this country, which Trump so obviously covets as a 51st state.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

One of the things that Canadians should be contemplating is that if Trump’s actions in Venezuela are accepted by the world, there is nothing stopping him from invading Ottawa and unseating Mark Carney. Moral arguments will not change that. #sentientcheeto #venezuela #51ststate

International rule of law was supposed to matter. For instance, what now stops China from invading Taiwan? Or how about Ukraine special forces kidnapping Putin? Trump’s actions are *mad king* shit.

Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I miss the days when the president needed a Congressional act to declare war.

CharGPT in action

Something that has been bothering me about the discourse around the Epstein Files is how many memes, jokes, and AI edits I've seen. This is unfortunately common with high-profile cases involving abuse, and it only serves to normalize abuse and harm victims further. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-fi...

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Fact-check: true

Montreal to Ottawa is a one hour drive and starting with that as a high speed rail trip makes zero sense. Factor in getting to and from the station and showing up 15 minutes early to get seated and the trip will take longer & probably cost more. #alto #pipedream dailyhive.com/toronto/alto...

Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion. So much for “making cities better…” Via @wsj.com
