This is an example of how I expect Alberta to secede by effect if not by law - through the creation of exemptions and alternate policies within provincial boundaries that cut it out from Canada but yet still receive transfer payments. They'll turn back to transfer payments soon now.

man ever since i saw that company handbook someone leaked it was like "how long before this shows up in a lawsuit"

Growing up there were two types of parental professions that made the rounds in jokes: lawyers and psychiatrists.

This article is from last year. RFK expects us to forget about it. As with COVID we are watching attempts to rewrite history in front of us.

A White House staffed entirely with content creators and influencers believes that this is where criminal trials are determined - in front of television cameras.

A copy editor at Politico had the day of their lives today when they were able to finally pull out a reference from their undergrad paper for a headline.

I would like five Supreme Court justices and 30 members of congress prosecuted for treason, so gerrymandering a few states seems like the kid gloves approach to me.

They imagine this word is in reference to dietary preferences, like pescatarian.

Not enough coverage of the Tucker pivot is incorporating the most damning evidence that he's full of shit, that the discovery during the Dominion lawsuit included his texts going "yeah Trump's a lying piece of shit and I have to pretend I don't hate him for money"

I was raised in a family of big tech employees and have been analyzing, working in, and reporting on tech since I was a teenager - and yes I do think the gleeful “we’re gonna take all your jobs, worms” rhetoric really did accelerate after 2019

America is famously allergic to real consequences for politicians and celebrities, yet ironically they are also notable for a perennial desire to call for blood, even if only as theatrics. To that end, there is political power awaiting anyone who leads the charge against the Trump era.

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

An unproven technology that objective economic observers are suggesting has failed to provide the promised returns, but remember that these are the (predominantly) men who will tell all other sectors of society how they can more efficiently operate schools, hospitals, libraries, government, etc.

is it the one who complained his phone didn't work because it got too hot but he submerged it in a pool *checks and finds I'm now blocked* helllll yeahhhh

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

#OtD 22 Apr 1993 Stephen Lawrence, a Black British man, was murdered by racists in London. Public pressure following the failure to convict the killers led to revelations of institutional racism within the British Police stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9445...

Sounds like Nunes may be moo-ving on.

núñez may finally achieve his place in history as the only person to ever lose money on an open bribery racket

Duane Bratt: “going after the integrity of the electoral system is even worse. It opens the door for mistrust in elections, court challenges (and likely further attacks on judges), and strains on the capacity of Elections Alberta. All in the midst of referendums and a potential separation threat.”

I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic

I think there should be a Road to Redemption! If Carlson does nothing but selfless acts of real service for the rest of his days, and never broadcasts again, never ever… he can be forgiven as early as the year 2739. It’s a good deal! www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Alberta government is so gross on so many levels. Absence of ethics, no respect for rule of law, and regularly dismisses & disrespects expertise.

The Americans sure don’t see the world or themselves the way we do. They look at these figures and say “He’s underwater! Alarm bells ring for his presidency!” Everyone else says ruefully, “One in three Americans still supports this bullying, dangerous, demented, self-destructive regime.”

The number of angry messages I got from insecure men on my article demanding men be accountable for rape culture & 'Rape Academy' reminds me to share my article repeatedly. Men: Stop being insecure. Stop being pathetic. Start holding rapists accountable. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/men-we-nee...

Happy 79th birthday to Star Trek actor Iggy Pop.

But they'll announce Jon Voight in his biopic a week after he finally kicks off and try to hype it like the next Birth of a Nation.

Drawing up an Escher-ian inversion illustration to demonstrate how the subject of a joke becomes aware of being laughed at and earnestly assumes the position of becoming a more realized iteration of their own satire.

Ever seen a poll result that is basically telling the pollsters themselves to go touch grass?

This is why the prairie ideal of the lone frontiersman is such utter bullshit. People survived settling the west by working together in communities (many of the earliest co-ops were amongst farmers) and - especially overlooked - often through partnerships with local indigenous tribes.

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

This is sheer brilliance.

This story was breaking just as our Senate Standing Committee on Transport and Communications was deep in our morning hearing on AI. So just as the committee testimony wrapped up, I snuck in this question. #ableg #abpoli #YouTube #AI #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #TRCM #Alberta #ForeignInterference

Trump is an ideal frontman, and he indeed gets off on destroying the world, but he's not the mastermind and never was.

And it's not only Trump. That's what some fascism scholars won't admit. It's a transnational mafia syndicate tied to intelligence. It's well-documented over multiple decades. There was always proof, which is why I wrote on it over a decade ago. But it's not just Russia and GOP, also Dems and Israel.

I think the better term would be @sarahkendzior.bsky.social 's : Stripping down America & selling it for parts. To Trump, this isn't America's suicide. It's his life's dream coming true: Becoming the owner of the US, and possibly the world. If anyone's imagination can't take it, that's on them.

Im a historian and can think of very few good reasons why anyone would know Oswald's 1939 speeches by heart

Honoured to be nominated for our story about criminal charges in workplace deaths - along with my friend and colleague James Dunne and a stellar team of producers, videographers and editors at CBC News.

I know many Americans will react with concern but recognizing that the US is currently one of the principal authors of international conflict their military running low on ammunition isn't all bad news. "What if we get in a shooting war with China?" Then supply lines aren't your biggest concern.

“We have totally obliterated the uranium. But we are launching this illegal war because Iran is days away from launching a nuclear strike on the West with bombs made from that uranium.”

These two widely shared images claiming to show the IDF restoring a statue of Jesus that was previously damaged by an Israeli soldier near Debl, Lebanon, are AI-generated and fake. A Google SynthID check finds watermarks that suggest both images were made with Google AI.
