And this, my friends, is why Press Progress is invaluable in Canada’s media ecosystem. Keeps folks honest. Good job @lukelebrun.ca

What Eisenhower really said about documenting Nazi atrocities to prevent Holocaust denial He did not say the words, "get it all on record now" because "down the track of history some b****rd will get up and say that this never happened."

A view he agreed with, but words he didn’t actually speak: www.snopes.com/fact-check/e...

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

somehow had not ever ridden in a Tesla until last night and wow what a hunka junk!! everything feels a little thin and flimsy. it's like a fake car. i needed to be told how to open the door when entering and exiting lol just a real symphony of industrial design and engineering

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

This is still worth saying for the record.

No one who is opposed to the US bombing of Iran is actually SUPPORTIVE of the repressive regime currently in Iran.

This is not a case of choosing one evil over another. Rather, it's choosing a universal principle, that unprovoked murder is always wrong.

If someone with a Canadian flag in his name posts about "the Prime Minister", why on Earth would you assume he's talking about the British PM?

Digital products and services are getting worse – but the trend can be reversed A new report from the Norwegian Consumer Council shows how enshittification affects both consumers and society at large. Luckily, it‘s possible to turn the tide.

What a great report by the Norwegian Consumer Council on how digital products and services are getting worse (enshittification)!

Lots of good explanations and examples, but also very actionable with policy recommendations.

This informational video on enshittification by the Norwegian Consumer Council is absolutely glorious.

And now backed by Trump. Amerika gets darker. By the hour.

I warned a year ago that US media was at risk under Trump and his oligarch friends. Today I see a Trump ally, Ellison, has won a bid to take over Warner Bros. That will place both CBS and CNN under his control. Like sand sifting through an hourglass, the US is running out of independent media. ⏳

Report underscores death toll of health care-related infections Infections acquired in health care settings kill 3 times more people than car accidents each year.

A recent Spanish study estimated health care associated infections caused >3x as many deaths as car accidents each year

We've normalized seatbelts.
So why aren't N95 masks & infection control in healthcare non-negotiable?

The worst part about the Kash video is just how much of a DORK he looked like.

Like a guy who for the first time was at a party with the cool kids and trying too hard

Let’s not forget that Paul Calandra, one of the most incompetent, insufferable, intransigent fools to fail upwards in our political hellscape, has zero qualifications to be Education Minister. He has NOTHING to contribute to the system. And to be clear -his mission is to destroy it.

Markham-Stouffville WTF stop electing this fucking dingbat. Even Wikipedia reminds us that the Globe and Mail once wrote: “to call Mr. Calandra a clown is to do a disservice to the ancient profession of painted-face buffoonery”
A sick burn, and yet ppl still voted for him.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

This is bad. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Trump’s cronies aren’t what broke public health The structural blind spots that undermine medical progress and how to fix them.

This is the single biggest threat from the rapid adoption of AI in medicine - calcification of existing "manual" algorithmic biases that prioritize reserving authority and control for medicine's management class over scientific rigour and the public interest.

Garbage in, garbage out.
