NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Five glass bottles shaped like maple leaves sit in a row on a wooden railing outdoors. Each bottle is filled with maple syrup in different shades ranging from very light golden to dark amber. The bottles have gold-colored caps. Trees and a house appear blurred in the background under a bright blue sky.

Between 2011 and 2012, several individuals stole 9,571 barrels of maple syrup, worth $18.7 million, from a warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.
This theft from the Maple Syrup Strategic Reserve became known as The Great Maple Syrup Heist.
This is the story.

Kim Campbell stands indoors in front of an ornate white fireplace with decorative molding and a green marble interior. She is smiling and wearing a black outfit with two medals pinned to the left side of her chest—one hanging from a green, blue, and yellow ribbon around her neck and another red-and-white cross-shaped medal pinned to her jacket. Her short light-brown hair is styled in a layered bob. Crystal chandeliers and a floral arrangement sit above the mantel, and upholstered furniture is partially visible at the sides of the room.

Kim Campbell was the first woman to serve as Prime Minister of Canada, federal Minister of Justice and federal Minister of Defence.
She was also the first Baby Boomer and first person born in British Columbia to be Prime Minister.
This is her story.

"The agreement also will require Ticketmaster to divest from exclusive booking agreements it has with 13 amphitheaters in the US and cap service fees at 15% of the ticket price. The agreement also limits long-term exclusivity contracts utilized by Ticketmaster when partnering with venues."

What's really at stake at Port Hope

Doug Ford is such an a-hole. Those residents have a contract. A lease. They are not squatters. And referring to them as 1% just confirms you are 99% an a-hole.

Certainly if I had a business decision to make I would not invest in Alberta this year. I wouldn't move my business there, or expand footprint.

People... don't bail or fear the worst. This type of thing is common and does not mean the end is nigh. It is still a public benefit corp. Jay is still here. Give it time. And it is still one of the best social media platforms around, still not enshittified.

Wow. The Guardian just published a work of fiction:

"Prices at the pump shouldn’t immediately rise when the crude price does, though. It takes time for a barrel of Brent to be refined, and for fuel to be transported to pumps."
