Big incel energy: [described his ideal woman as “Honest, loyal, feminine, and driven by an intense desire to bond deeply and completely with a strong, dominant man and forge a kind of symbiotic union…masculine and feminine, dominant and submissive, blended into a kind of super being…”]

“Digital platforms, particularly social media algorithms, tend to reward sensational and controversial content. In that sense, a polluted information environment has become part of the new normal.”

Bank of Canada leaves key interest rate unchanged at 2.25%. "...recent data suggest that near-term economic growth will be weaker than anticipated in January. ...It’s too early to assess the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on growth in Canada."

In just the first week of its military assault on Iran, the US spent $11.3bn for American taxpayer-funded bombs that caused hundreds of deaths. The figure does not capture the full cost of the conflict, such as deployment of forces, and will now be far higher given the ongoing nature of the war.

A 24 year old using AI to mass delete humanities grants because they contain DEI references isn’t efficiency - it’s automated censorship. You don’t reform a democracy by erasing the scholarship that documents civil rights, the Holocaust, or AIDS activism - you erase a democracy by doing that.👇

Tasty in Yaletown is the place for Indian food, should you find yourself in #Vancouver. Amirite, @tarnjitparmar.bsky.social ?

We should all be very afraid of what this idiot president is willing to do to save his polling numbers, with the understanding that he was dumb and dangerous enough to start the war without realizing Iran would close the Strait. END/

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake.

“The title of this novel that got its author in a lot of trouble ends with the word ‘Verses.’” (Clip) “Oh I’m sorry, that’s correct but you didn’t phrase your answer as a question.”

Earlier I implied that I escorted yo' momma through the Strait of Hormuz. I apologize for the misinformation. Yo' momma's too fat for such a narrow passageway and whatnot.

As a nation, do you know how assholic you have to be and how badly you have to behave to radicalize Canadians?

Kuwait's state-owned petroleum company announces oil production cuts and a reduction in refining output after "Iranian threats to safe passage of ships through the ​Strait of Hormuz" and as part of its "risk management and business continuity strategy." www.kuna.net.kw/ArticleDetail...

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet. It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

NEW: One of the most active hubs for sexually explicit AI "deepfakes" is hiding in plain sight. My latest takes a hard look at a 4chan board that's acting as a factory floor for online sexual abuse — where its users have victimized untold numbers of women and girls. openmeasures.io/4chan-ai-dee...
