looks like another consequence of carney’s cuts

Here in Athens Greece, we’re hearing numerous reports of travelers unable to get rides to the port of Piraeus because the price of fuel alone exceeds the set fare for the ride. Just another example of how Trump is destroying the global economy.

No joke, there were another two in between the white house correspondence dinner and the shooting event yesterday. There's been two THIS MONTH

I was genuinely under the impression there'd been like four real attempts on Trump's life Guys there's been twenty three since 2016

HAHAHAHAHA

“During the 1950s-60s, the rise in automobile traffic transformed Dutch cities, resulting in traffic congestion, pollution, & an alarming increase in crashes. In 1971, more than 3,300 people lost their lives in crashes, including 400 children. These shocking numbers led to public protests…” Change.

So proud of my students who relaunched the labour radio show on CKUT, the student radio station. The inaugural episode features an interview with me about the origins of May Day, reporting from May Day in Montreal, and a story about this weekend’s sex worker strike: ckut.ca/archive-play...

I’ve given half dozen talks to uni Ss past few weeks & in all of them have gone off on Ai & how we can’t give up what makes us human, the importance of struggling, of making mistakes, & all the decisions & surprises along the way that makes us who we are. We won’t be robbed of this. Ss don’t want it

“The point of this is to degrade and remove autonomy and control from the person in the photo,” @siridahl.com told Playboy. “This is what people in my industry have dealt with, on some level, since we’ve been around. Now, anyone can be a target.”

Look at all of that land, look at all of that livestock, look at that beautiful sunset. And they want to destroy that to build a data center. For surveilling us and pushing AI so they can replace us? Fuck Kevin O'Leary. FUCK DATA CENTERS. We must push back. Credit: @tenilletaggart.bsky.social

HISTORY IS COMING: 40c IN EUROPE This will arguably be the harshest spring heat wave in European history We can see up to 40C in Spain,35C in Central Europe for days. Thousands of records will be pulverized in Spain,Portugal,France,Benelux,UK;SCandinavia,Germany,Alps,Czechia,..

I was cleaning out my phone pics yesterday and came across this post form @levostregc.bsky.social that gave me chills from last summer, about AI: “They want to sell us hell, and have us pay for it.” More true than ever. Needless to say, did not delete it.

Today’s Observer correction, a classic, doesn’t do justice to the context of the typo.

well you see, our demented pedophile boy-king and his evil cadre of enabling viziers could decide in the middle of his 19th diet coke to get into a trade war or ban something that makes it illegal for your job to exist. is it likely? probably not. but fear isn't always rational

something I don't see mentioned enough in discussions abt consumer sentiment is that people watched Elon Musk and the Hitler Youth completely dismantle several agencies and destroy thousands of livelihoods on a whim, and that is a terrifying concept even if you aren't a government worker

Alberta’s Pipeline Optimism Has Turned Into a Delusion @IEA, @BloombergNEF reports prove EVs are destroying global oil demand - or soon will be. @ABDanielleSmith, @BrianJeanAB, @timhodgsonmt et al are hallucinating. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/albertas-p...

Just the facts

"Detroit Once Ruled Canada’s Car Industry. Trump’s Tariffs May End That." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/w... Seems it's already over, tbqh: "Last year, 1.2 million vehicles came out of Canadian plants, about three-quarters from Toyota and Honda."

no kidding...

LFG

This realtor identified the right problem: land as a long-term investment. He circles around the solution, but never quite lands on it though. Land value tax solves this (replace taxes on income and building.)

I am struck that the one time I wrote for The Atlantic, they had a fact-checker who demanded I include links for even quite minor claims in the piece or at least substantiate those claims to him, whereas when TCW writes for them, there isn't a single link or example to be found.

The Art of the Deal TRUMP: Give up your uranium. IRAN: No. TRUMP: OK. Open the Strait of Hormuz. IRAN: No. TRUMP: OK. What if we end our blockade, and you can charge for passage through the Strait? IRAN: Only if you give us BILLIONS of dollars and pull out all your forces. TRUMP: OK. Deal.

The truth is, as we wrote about earlier, AI cannot replace or handle human kink. "Bots might seem like a safe place to confess our deepest fantasies, but an absence of judgment isn’t the same thing as real acceptance." www.playboy.com/read/sex-rel...

Beautiful essay

Almost needless to say but I’ll keep saying it: in the presidential primary you should support the candidate you like, not the candidate you think will appeal to some mythological swing voter. More people liking the candidate you like is what makes them electable, not a resume.

remember when you used to learn this information quietly and at the age of roughly eleven
