I don't know that this is the *most* unethical thing David Frum has ever done, but in terms of professional *journalistic* ethics? Whooo boy

A reminder that Ford has repeatedly used or threatened to use the Notwithstanding Clause to undermine democracy by: - Limiting third party election advertising - Slashing Toronto City Council mid-election - Undermining education workers' labour rights - Evicting encampments - Removing bike lanes

WHITEHOUSE: What happened to the $50k in cash that the FBI paid to Tom Homan in a paper bag? BONDI: The investigation of Mr Homan was subjected to a full review by the FBI. They found no credible evidence of any wrongdoing W: That was not my Q B: You're welcome to discuss this with Director Patel

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Should've used this photo

Now would be a great time for an investigative reporter to look back into whatever happened to Doug’s motorcade earlier this year: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

I’m pretty sure Doug Ford is the one going around in the middle of the night destroying speed cameras

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

The thing about 7 billionaire freaks passing the same increasingly large wad of IOUs back and forth, is that only a pundit could possibly think this translates to increasing prosperity for everyone else.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

🤤 (shocked, shocked I tell you)

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Someone is going a great bit on r/djs.... at least I think it's a bit

[abruptly stops playing my air banjo] Oh the intervention is for ME?

the most important thing to remember when under attack by spiritual forces is to preserve your own brand

In light of The Atlantic reporter today, i repeat...

wizard frog is insane

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

kid of a cop

It would rock if Mamdani won the election and then named Curtis Sliwa as his special envoy to the Cats of New York City, I feel he would do a good job

ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago’s Logan Square today and I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well, everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Manitoba already has 72hr involuntary assessment periods in their Mental Health Act. This legislation will allow police to arrest and hold people without charge because of the type of drug they do. Nothing about their mental state or potential harm to themselves or others. Unconstitutional.

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

Lots of good messaging from Mayor Gordon here, "a former police officer who admits he usually sides with the premier, and has spoken to him about what he thinks should be done." Summary thread for anyone who wants to write their MPP (especially if they are PC). www.billgordon.ca/speed-camera...

Real talk, every prof teaching a course with a title like "The Diversity of Human Sexuality" has rehearsed in their mind for a scenario like this but gotta be honest, the whole (huge??) class stepping up was a surprise to me and likely to the prof! Good work everyone.

Don’t miss the post-game interview

It’s so weird to me that so many people don’t seem to understand that Canadian culture comes out of many generations of immigrants bringing their own traditions and customs with them. Multiculturalism is who we are, but the shadow of America looms large over how we see ourselves

now where i am from when someone in your office has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in editing spreadsheets we call them "fired"

watching Hegseth it was just completely obvious this is a *highly* neurotic man with extreme and well-deserved insecurities about his value to the military paulkrugman.substack.com/p/bulging-bi...

A 72-year-old woman who lives next to that ostrich farm where a group of convoy people are camping out was doused in gasoline and physically assaulted by a man in a balaclava who may have been trying to light her in fire She says she survived the attack by kicking the man in the nuts and biting him

In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer. www.understandingai.org/p/ai-isnt-re...

This is good.

Vast majority of Canadians no longer consider the United States an ally

In an article about rapidly rising commercial rents, I think it would be very relevant to mention commercial properties are heavily restricted (the thin red lines on the map) and that less than a year ago the city voted against allowing more in neighbourhoods. www.thestar.com/real-estate/...

I've read a couple of history books and I can tell you for sure that rounding up your generals, having a drunk yell at them and call them fat, and then stopping paying them that same day is absolutely how you institute durable personalist rule

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness. Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

What’s supposed to be fraudulent about this? Couldn’t it just be an individual with the means doing something heroic? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Oh, no, you guys.

At this point, hometown hero Daniel Dale is basically standing in a batting cage while a helicopter dumps a shipping container full of baseballs on him from above, and God love him, he’s still swinging.

"Oh you're sniping at the comedians doing the Riyadh comedy fest? You think the US is any better?" I also wouldn't accept a gig paid for by the US government where they get me to sign a contract promising I won't cunt em off but ok.

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email
