It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

An addendum to today's post paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-pro-...

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case: A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex. *That* is how racist America is.

@mark-carney.bsky.social No pipelines in Northern B.C. Continuing to subsidize industries of the past is not the path forward. We need to be investing in an economy that reduces harm to our environment and doesn’t export emissions to other parts of the globe. A very disappointed Liberal voter.

Kevin O'Leary petitions Trump to have name added to Epstein Files

@fifaworldcup26.bsky.social This would tarnish this tournament beyond belief. If this is true, rethink this. This would be a disgusting step to take by awarding a man who is ordering extrajudicial killings, threatening to invade and annex other countries, and attacking his own people daily.

(🚨) NEW at PROOF: It is 8PM the night before Election Day, and *this* is the breaking news the whole world should be talking about.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

BBC News rips apart President Trump's absurd rant at the United Nations ht: @implausibleblog.bsky.social

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Whoa.

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

Lost in the sauce.

Atwood, Laurence, Munro and Angelou are all on this list.

As a child psychiatrist whose job is working with teens contemplating suicide, let me respond to this with the nuance and thoughtfulness it deserves: WHAT. THE. ABSOLUTE. FUCK.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Trump 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell." Trump today: "He's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him." Every news story will include both clips, right?

Oh, really, NBC? Is that when the fraught trading relationship began, when Carney became PM in March? Not in January, when Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canada? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Below you can find the statement of Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, the director of the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum, on the comment made by Grzegorz Braun, a member of the European Parliament.

Dear All Journalists, You don’t have to credit the line “Tariffs will hit American consumers” to “economists say”. Thanks

Any coverage of this administration that doesn’t contextualize Trump’s statements and actions in this senile soup of grievance — including the Canadian media’s coverage, which continues to default toward looking for strategic rationales — is simply bad journalism

Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai today said "crime is at an all-time low in the city ... the city is safer." Added "the perception of crime diverges from the reality of crime. This is a safe, safe city."

Amazing. Respect the lede.

A friendly reminder that the Americans landed on just two of five D-Day beaches. Canada (pop 12 million at the time) handled one on its own.

Oh dear

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly. https://trib.al/f6NvJbi

@sethabramson.bsky.social I caught this on CBC radio this afternoon. As a Musk biographer, I thought you might find this interesting. Have a listen. It is both fascinating and frightening. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

can i do a referendum making it illegal for people to say "western alienation" when they aren't actually referring to the most heavily populated and most western part of the country

I love the internet

Never forget that blocking news and turning their platforms into festering garbage heaps of misinformation, disinformation, and brain rot was Meta’s choice, and their choice alone. They suck hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising revenues out of the Canadian economy, and give fuck all back.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

1989

I don't expect any of our major media outlets to acknowledge this outright, but this is the thing: These aren't 'steep' tariffs, these are _insane_ tariffs. These are 'nobody in the White House understands decimal points' numbers. It speaks to total economic illiteracy _throughout the White House_.

@sethabramson.bsky.social just another data point 👇🤔🙄
