Air raid sirens in Saudi Arabia. Bahrain has closed its airspace. Fighter jet activity reported over Tehran. Ceasefire going well.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Idris Elba has been knighted 'Sir Idris Elba' by King Charles.

Somehow we have allowed our premier to act as an all powerful tyrant with zero accountability for any actions and all decisions hidden behind a fog of secrecy. How this absurdly evil mob goon isn’t in jail is madness - cmon RCMP whatever happened to that investigation???

Access denied: Billy Bishop expansion records shielded from public view

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

I just realised that because I did my PhD at ICRF in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, I have crossed the same traffic lights where Leo Szilard famously saw the potential of an atomic bomb hundreds of times. Thankfully I was never smart enough to have a similar revelation.

This is the first thing and last thing anybody should ever hear think or say about Elon Musk - one of histories most callous killers. 400k deaths due to the careless arrogance of a man baby. That’s his intro and that’s his epitaph. Look forward to seeing “mass killer” on his gravestone.

I have said many things about Ontario weather, few of them pleasant - but DAMN this has been a spectacular wonderful gorgeous spell of clear air, pure blue skies, cool nights and warm days. Phenomenal, just a joy to wake to it each day.

An advocacy group in Virginia is running this ad on buses. 🔥🔥

Happy one-week anniversary to the Couple Days Peace Treaty

the classic axiom of war in the middle east: It'll All Work Out — It Always Does!

Toronto cops are a disgrace - corrupt violent goons. I am sure there must be the odd honest one that actually cares about protecting our city from crime instead of abusing their power to victimise people but I’ve yet to see one. Wonder how many pickup trucks rolled through that stop that day eh?

EAMON JAVERS Do you think the negotiations are over now? PRESIDENT TRUMP I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.

Nikita Khrushchev: "We will take America without firing a shot... We will destroy you from within."

Great thread debunking some Olympic level data misinterpretation on immigration by a right wing organisation. Why do they always tell lies? Because if they told the truth people would not be scared of immigration.

4X Police 👮 officers are spending Sunday giving out tickets to cyclists for not fully stopping at stop signs 🛑 at Martin Goodman Trail (Lakeshore and stadium Road) Meanwhile people driving cars are responsible for 95% of deaths on toronto roads. #bikeTO @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

hope you brought urine!

The president of the United States—elected by the GOP voters—is hosting a cage fight at the White House for personal profit. He’s just YOLO doing it, doesn’t care that we know. GOP folks, how can you live with this as the head of your party?

Bicycles deliver the freedom to tow my canoe down to the river without having to worry about parking or having to carry the canoe to the boat launch. Plus, there’s a nice café right near the river.

The new 24h velomobile distance record (recumbent with fairing) is 1512 km or 940 mi. That's SIXTY THREE km/h or 39.2 mph! For 24 hours!! www.recumbent.news/2026/05/31/c...

Aha the “people are spending more on everything is actually a sign of optimism and economic vitality and not people being crushed under the dual onslaught of stagnant wages and high inflation” argument. Wonder how that will fly with people who are unable to afford food.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

Grad student enters a shiny university building in USA, walks up to reception: Grad student: excuse me, I’m looking for Professor X, the eminent virologist Reception: sorry, this is the building where we no longer do biology, the building where they no longer study infectious diseases is next door.

The irony is that if you want academics to never threaten any vested interests you don’t want to shut down their universities—give them tenure and a mortgage

A city lives not in the height of its towers. But in the width of its sidewalks.

How many more studies does your city need proving that people on bikes and on foot spend more on shopping streets than people in cars? Bike-lanes mean business. #UrbanTruth

Trump being interviewed by Lara Trump. That’s Full North Korea. You should never go Full North Korea.

I wonder if we need a “Geiger counter” strategy for using LLMs. What are the *most differently trained* LLMs? Put the same prompt through multiple differently trained ones, then retain the intersection and discard everything else. Two hits may be approximate reality, one is garbage?

This is so on point. The worst chapter in every such book. (I've had several authors tell me that publishers basically force them to write this chapter.)

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Brutal. Feel so sorry for Gabriel who has been huge all season. Congrats PSG, best team in Europe. And thank you Aussie TV for the free streaming 😉

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Karen Hao - AI is a political project, and the central feature of this project is to take agency away from people to make these entities the monopolies on decision-making power

Trump siccing his DOJ attack dogs against E Jean Carroll is one of the most disgusting things he's done.
