I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

elon musk wants to scapegoat immigrants and inflame racial animus because there is a very real threat to both economic opportunity and political sovereignty haunting our times, and it's him

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

This is a really hot and difficult discussion in Kentville right now (and elsewhere). In the past 10-12 years, supported housing type projects proposed for or adjacent to residential zones have also been nixed by public opposition.

good lord

NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY DROPPED There is a LOT here, but omg NATO allies are going to seethe at this paragraph www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

no story about elon musk or his companies is complete without reference to both his overt white nationalist agitation, or his willingness to put that rhetoric into action by gleefully consigning countless thousands of people of color to death while running DOGE

I continue to feel REAL BAD as a Canadian about the way we have handled refugees in crisis from pretty much anywhere except Ukraine in modern history. The "marooned in a hotel room with no way to work or leave" plight was also shared by Afghan translators, etc. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

listen we’ve all been there

This sign raises more questions than it answers

One of the reasons that 'right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything' is their quixotic desire to make inherently uncool ideas seem cool. They despise the cultural currency and cachet that a wide variety artists hold and are forever engaged in a futile quest to capture a modicum of cool.

Seems like a much larger problem than first expected that Canadian military brass is out-of-step with the populace and the government, and way too cozy with US industry. ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

Maybe Danielle Smith could make the oil & gas business pay its bills instead of lobbying on its behalf.

A+ headline work from the AP apnews.com/article/dona...

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.” Yikes.

he's being turned into a pastry before our eyes

Spain has used immigration and public-private investment in capital projects to become the fastest-growing economy in the Western world, with the lowest deficits, all with higher Trump tariffs. We can follow their lead www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

“prominent separatist supporter Jeff Rath received a standing ovation from the packed crowd when he asked how many of them support independence. Smith, who countered by saying she supports a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada, was roundly booed by delegates still standing from the ovation”

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

cool, we're broke financially AND morally

The Nuzzi thing is a good reminder that outside the deep structural issues of energy/subsistence, most of what's happening right now is an old-fashioned crisis of elite legitimacy, which sounds comforting until you realize how some of those have turned out in the past

I'm sorry, I just want ONE DAMN TRAIN, damn the torpedoes. BUILD THE TRAIN. BUILD ONE HIGH SPEED TRAIN. We could be a real country. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.

Not remotely trustworthy, especially since they altered some old policies (must have two engines for the arctic!) so the F-35 could run and win in the first place. Here's the key differentiator: The Gripen-E is a plane you can buy, for less money, that *fully works* www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Every question headline should end like this “Is Trump’s cognition in decline? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer” “Will there be a third WICKED movie? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer” “Who will go 1st in the NBA draft? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons” etc

This is what I look like when someone is explaining a new board game's rules to me

He hits a half-dozen distinct Garfield Faces in less than 30 seconds here. Remarkable work.

I can't get over this. In response to a kid committing suicide after talking to ChatGPT, OpenAI's response is literally "he prompted it wrong." There's something profoundly broken in these people's hearts.

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

I’m intrigued to hear the Canadian government is reviving the online safety bill, but I don’t have much hope from this tech-optimistic government. It should be used to rein in chatbots, social media, and force platforms to align with strict rules based on our values. I’m not holding my breath.

when its definitely not a hostage situation

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

"the president has directed the Department of Energy to launch an AI project called the genesis mission" sounds like something out of a technothriller www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

"Our guy has the leather jacket. The comparison is preposterous and quite frankly offensive."

lol this rocks taking my children to see the nativity mural painted on the olde drugstore facade downtown and accidentally giving them PTSD from a hieronymous bosch version of rudolph getting eaten by elves

calling canadians “customers” of canada post is like calling us “customers” of the healthcare system. it’s such a silly, commercial framing.

I could not agree more strongly with this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

After you help your boss convert a doc to PDF

In case you’re wondering: The key people behind tomorrow’s planned nationwide Ostrich Convoy include an aging Burning Man attendee who drives a psychedelic school bus called the “Church of Bubbles” and a Dutch-born Gen Z social media marketer who imports maple syrup to Utrecht, Netherlands

Gonna check in on Canada, where politics is more normal... I see there is a convoy headed to Ottawa to avenge a flock of dead ostriches

He’s surrounded by such wormy little losers at the White House that I think he was like wow a cool guy

I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.
