If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.

It’s day 4 of the Bail Out the Banned Book Contest! #FTRW26

"The Paper Bag Princess” by Robert Munsch has been banned and challenged across North America for subversion of traditional gender roles and use of the word "bum."

Just a pet peeve .... many times the word "energy" is used when really the topic is "fossil fuel energy." At least by the examples shown as included within each section, other forms of energy (hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal) seem likely to not be covered.

Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans The incidents bring the robotaxi service to a total of 14 crashes since launching last summer.

Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That’s 4x Higher Than Humans

The incidents bring the robotaxi service to a total of 14 crashes since launching last summer.

The new data raises concerns about how safe Tesla’s systems really are compared to the average driver.

Sadly ….. on the UCP scale ….. this is a cheap fiasco not at all premium.

Doug found those basket weaving courses very hard. Encouraging people to find easier courses.

Conservatives are feeding on the results of their endorsement of PP at their convention.

Conservatives need to learn to say “Yes and …”. Embrace the good with Yes and then add to it with recommendations for improvement. “Yes … this is quite consistent with what we said. AND our policy has concrete proposals for how this could be much better.”

Narrator: the Premier never took responsibility and the majority of the electorate never demanded it. Premier Smith said "We are amazed at how 4 years of NDP leadership ruined this once great province. All our ideological and grifting gems have not been able to recover from that damage."

Maybe he is actually too good for what that “paper” has become.

Perhaps not many unique grievances ..... but I do think the national leadership of the federation has not particularly demonstrated great leadership for a federation. We have had a sequence of PM's (Trudeaus, Harper) who have too quickly abandoned a federal approach for an imposed solution.

Every week the US government gets closer to a true fascist state resolved to protect the rich and the pedophiles. And white skin helps too. Don’t look away. See them for what they are.

The U.S. fuel blockade of Cuba, following decades-long sanctions and collective punishment, is causing enormous harm to the people of Cuba, limiting access to fuel, food, and medicine.

Republicans are finding out if they pass the Save Act it will disproportionately reduce voters in Red States as they have the lowest ownership of Passports and ID’s 😏🤣

This is a circus 🎪 🤭

We really need to come to grips with the fact that there’s not going to be legitimate midterm elections with this administration still in power. They know what comes next for them and will do anything to retain power. They need to be removed before the midterms.

This is the danger: unpopularity doesn’t moderate an authoritarian, it accelerates him. When power becomes personal survival, the country turns into collateral damage and restraint has to come from institutions, not hope.

Mark this under things Trump and his minions can’t understand - doing real things for principles and giving up real things for those principles.

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

In tonight’s performance, the part of Jeffrey Epstein will be performed by Donald Trump and the role of Ghislane Maxwell will portrayed by Pam Bondi.

Given US actions against Cuba among others, I think the Geordie Howe bridge should stay #elbowsup. And slow down all the other crossings. Countries need to embargo the US more. The US is close to a rogue terror state and needs to be treated as such.

Trump is just a crime boss used to operating with crime boss principles. I expect Carney is smart enough to decline this. I fear some of our politicians would react "Oh..... I guess we have to pay up to keep them happy."

Gordie Howe taught us to protect our space with our elbows. He’d probably be fine with the bridge being left unopened rather than lower those elbows.

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Many of us disappeared on X ….

Never set a low bar …. They can always go under it.

Just trying to ensure with this and appointing judges that she will always be the smartest person in the room.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social ten minutes watching the GEM recording of olympics opening and I want to scratch my eyes out. Sure hope this gets better when the sports start.
