I also spent a solid 20 minutes trying to get the moment directly before a tern dives into the water. I wasn't successful, but I did get some really pretty tern shots 😍

Pretty impressive - if you believe Wikipedia, that would put it in the top 20 largest quarterly losses of all time. Still well short of AOL-Time Warner, tho - Sam has still got some work to do. www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/m...

New article just published! I address Bill Gates' recent pivot away from climate change, and explain why his message is both dangerous (emboldening climate deniers) and incoherent (climate change mitigation is inextricably bound up with alleviating global poverty). GRRRR!!!

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Nirvana releases its legendary "MTV Unplugged" concert album 31 years ago today — seven months after Cobain’s passing. “In the moment, you weren’t aware you were taping what was Nirvana's last album," producer Alex Coletti said. "It was only in hindsight that it became what it became." #RIP

Learn to cook. This is financial advice.

The values of la belle province and its metropole have diverged, tragically. Our fundamental rights are at stake. We can and must prevent rogue teachers from creating hostile environments like at Bedford *without curtailing basic freedoms or persecuting minorities.*

Ezra Lavant said it was weird that JD Vance threw his wife under the bus to please groypers and had to delete the comment after the Vice President put him on blast. Now he's furiously posting clips of Nick Fuentes calling JD Vance fat gay and a race traitor

Racist, fascist bullshit in Quebec.

1/7 🇨🇦 🇨🇳 CARNEY AND XI AGREE TO TACKLE 'IRRITANTS' 🇨🇳 🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a 39-minute meeting Friday, the first formal leader-to-leader contact since 2017. The dialogue occurred on the margins of the APEC summit. #APEC #CanadaChina #CdnPoli #Trade

Canada needs a new playbook to establish economic self-sufficiency, post-Trump. Renewable energy, value-added industries and investing in housing and the care economy are among the keys. Co-sponsored by @policyalternatives.ca & @futurework.org.au #cdnecon www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

"Why does the country think you're biased?" asks woman firing people using evidence and science in their reporting

lol this is probably because Carney said he was doubling exports outside of America

LOL turns out moving goalposts is a global phenomenon for the Right. 🤡

Epstein associates like Steven Pinker can stay in the US where they feel safe from EDI because they prefer govt to protect elite sex criminals instead of promote inclusion. I'll stay here and feel safe from blatant, racist authoritarianism because I have the opposite preference.

We’re launching Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million Canadians, so they get the benefits they’re entitled to.

I'm starting to fill out the AI survey. I don't think this is going to go well.

I wrote this back in March. Seven months ago. It is only more deeply true now. As it will be tomorrow. Canada isn't moving urgently enough to adjust to this new reality. emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/american-d...

in my humble moderate opinion i think sam altman should be tried at the hague and everyone at openAI should be tried as an accessory

The public should be beautiful. It's ours. #cdnpoli

What the CHUDs didn’t anticipate, because they are lacking in empathy, is that people would protect each other

I’m glad Gavin Newsom wants to be a liberal hero instead of a right-wing podcaster. But why does he have so little to say about the tech oligarchs fueling and funding the fascist takeover? He cozies up to them, as do his closest advisors. California incubated crypto corruption and tech fascism.

on a run this week i twisted my knee, took a medium gnarly spill. guy setting up his tent on the curb saw the whole thing and asked if i was okay. that small, reflexive kindness has been echoing in my brain as i think about how extravagantly cruel this country is to anyone living in poverty

To add clarity to this: Influencers in China that discuss topics such as medicine, law, education, or finance must prove they are qualified or certified to do so, in an aim to clamp down on misinformation. Right now it impacts large influencer accounts (1m+ followers) + bans false advertising.

Unbelievable! Canadian rifles used by Putin’s soldiers! New Democrats have been warning for years that loopholes in Canada’s arms export & sanctions regimes are making Canada complicit in arming regimes who commit grave human rights abuses & break international law. globalnews.ca/news/1148500...

At least 46 children were among the 104 killed by Israeli strikes, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said. Gaza’s Civil Defense teams were forced to use small tools and their hands in attempts to dig through the rubble for survivors and bodies.

When Canada’s public broadcaster asks: “is America becoming a police state?”

in 2020 the primary "antifa safehouse" was a 7/11 near the Justice Center staffed by some dudes who would pull people in off the street when they were running from gas clouds and lock the doors shout out to those kings wherever they are

In the future, your MP will be a generative AI avatar who will be oddly more representative of your riding than the flesh and blood organisms elected via first-past-the-post.

The Premier has lost the confidence of her caucus, and she's lost the confidence of every single Albertan. This is far from over. For Danielle Smith and the UCP, it's the beginning of the end. youtube.com/shorts/gLVzs...

Almost 2/3 of Canadians want our government to recognize Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. Yet our political class remains deeply out of sync. Why? Watch and read the report: www.jewishfaculty.ca/cija-report youtu.be/3-npbjwA5Qo?si=OY0Y7o8zxis-d2Jr #cdnpoli

1/ The attack on Alberta teachers by Danielle Smith may be sadly predictable - it’s also (obviously) unconstitutional and unacceptable. It has nothing to do with students or improving the state of education in Alberta.

Hoekstra was speaking to The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Business Canada but the story doesn't tell us what this organization is. It's an anti-Liberal, pro-American pressure group that endorsed Pierre Poilievre in the election and says Carney is damaging Canada in US trade negotiations

Whenever you hear a tech bro screeching about drug addiction in San Francisco, remember that crypto is supercharging the fentanyl trade and reflect on the quote historian Rick Perlstein attributed to Marc Andreessen in 2017: “I’m glad there’s OxyContin and video games to keep those people quiet.”
