The NYT's Zohran Mamdani hit piece crosses a line for me as a journalist. here's @lopatto.bsky.social's clear-eyed take on the genuine travesty of it all www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

Air conditioning is an absolutely vital life-saving technology on a swiftly-warming planet, and people who claim it's somehow more shameful to cool a home than it is to heat one are idiots. I wrote this a few years ago and still stand by it: foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/16/c...

"As #wildfire frequency and intensity continue to rise in B.C., we need to better understand the cascading effects of fire across systems, and to integrate this knowledge into land, water and #climate resilience planning," said Brian Hunt @ubcpelagic.bsky.social oceans.ubc.ca/2025/06/17/w...

I'm using a spoofed X account to search for videos of Doha and, truly, everything the app serves up is unverified home footage from blue checks named CryptoOSINT or porn bots taking advantage of the trending tag. Not useless, less than useless. Brain-ruining.

In one of the most transparently dangerous implementations of AI I've seen this month: AllTrails launched a new tool that allows users to ask an AI to "shorten my route" or "make this more scenic." My latest for @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/17/n...

Happy International Women’s Day to the most international woman of all: the woman trapped on the International Space Station

Grandpa, Did You Fight in the Trade War? @trondizzle.bsky.social co-hosts

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

I was convinced the Liberal Party couldn’t win a fourth term. I was wrong by Andrew Perez www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/04/o...

Not a fashion writer, and no longer a political reporter. But I have to assume it’s intentional that Joly is wearing a military jacket during the formal announcement of a trade war.

The Los Angeles Times has removed its new AI-powered “insights” feature from a column after the tool tried to defend the Ku Klux Klan

Oh come ON

I wrote for Slate about how a conservative think tank plans to "identify and target" Wikipedia editors who it claims are abusing their position—a dangerous escalation that shifts the fight from debating edits to going after the editors themselves. slate.com/technology/2...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Finally watched Adam Curtis' "Century Of Self" this week and it helped me understand our current political moment a bit more. According to Curtis, the rise of mass marketing in the 1900s changed the "citizen" into a "consumer". And I believe a similar shift is happening again. Short thread...

American voters are very normal about being denied affordable treats from China as I recall

Google pushed a mandatory update to 4a phones designed to "improve the stability of your battery's performance," but it wrecked a lot of devices, including mine. A full charge lasts less than 45 mins now. No real explanation given for why this update was necessary. www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/243...

A cybertruck just ran me into the emergency lane on the highway. I watched it swerve into 3 other cars. It's snowing in Montreal and these fucking milk cartons have no rear windows and zero visibility

where does the new york times even find these people

Canada has no foreign correspondents from major newspapers or broadcasters in the Middle East, Russia or China?? 😐 thehub.ca/2024/03/12/c...

Super interesting mini-analysis from CGAI on foreign interference in Canada, and our complete lack of modern or sufficient tracking systems: www.cgai.ca/countering_f...

Yeah I need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it because my shit is difficult right now. But it's important in ways even I haven't been able to work out. OpenAI is a serious business. Help me. Please help me please my serious company is so good. Help me www.cnbc.com/2024/12/27/o...

Well this is horrifying. The wave of stories over the summer about Blake Lively being a horrible person were deliberately engineered. After Blake Lively alleged sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni hired Johnny Depp's PR person to smear her.

bad news kids Santa used ai to plot his route this year and the sleigh took off 3 days early and crashed into the Alps almost immediately

@chrisberube.bsky.social I don't think you should tone down the Canadian content on 99pi at all!!

The one media take I've consumed this week that didn't immediately make me want to unsubscribe to the pub 🫡 love remembering why OTM is my fave

damn i cannot get charged with a violent crime bc if they think among us is a spy game they’re gonna straight up kill me for disco elysium

I'm proud that I founded @levernews.com - one of the few news outlets that's been covering the health care crisis for years. The corporate news outlets that ignored the crisis & that are only showing up now are telling on themselves. Sure, better late than never...but still.

just what we all wanted: another wave of ai bullshit to close out the year

Oh, governments are allowed to invalidate elections when Russians fuck with them. Huh.

I guess I'm just surprised to learn Hawk Tuah didn't already do a crypto like five months ago

South Korean citizens helped lawmakers scale the National Assembly walls so they could bypass military barricades and vote against martial law.

The Intercept asked companies that store personal data if they will help Trump conduct mass deportations. Apple, AT&T, Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Verizon, X and many others all declined to comment. theintercept.com/2024/12/02/l...

mom I ratioed the guardian. yes my wife still has a boyfriend. can we stay focused

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
