maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“I ask those who have the ability, especially foreign media, to reflect on this situation. What are people supposed to do under these conditions? This is truly a crime against humanity.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

Probation for Mountie Who Ordered Witnesses to Destroy Evidence Bystanders said police told them to delete videos of the arrest of Dale Culver, who died in police custody.

"A former Prince George Mountie [Arthur Dalman] will avoid jail after being found to have obstructed justice by asking bystanders to delete cellphone footage of the arrest of Dale Culver, a First Nations man who later died in police custody."

Horrific.

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

“ real living person is not a narrative device … When so many people watch a dramatization that uses a real name, real-life consequences follow. In the weeks since the series aired, I have received many hostile and even threatening messages from viewers who seem to believe the portrayal is factual”

Showing the sitting mayor of Canada’s third largest city a printout of an offensive AI slop image to confirm whether that’s the image he saw that led him to accuse a councillor of a crime, is possibly the weirdest thing I’ve ever done at work. And I once wrote about a merkin art exhibit.

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist.

It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.

Today I learned

Who You Gonna Call? Not 911 on BC’s Central Coast | The Tyee Despite the province's push for better emergency management, much of the coast lacks emergency calling capacity.

I was surprised to learn that 911, the number we automatically call in an emergency, is not available along much of BC's coast.

My latest for @thetyee.ca looks at efforts to bring 911 to communities like Bella Coola and why BC needs province-wide oversight of 911.

This is the culmination of WEEKS of investigative work.

With a little help from my friends, I've unmasked where a white nationalist fight club has been training in my city:

Probation for Mountie Who Ordered Witnesses to Destroy Evidence | The Tyee Bystanders said police told them to delete videos of the arrest of Dale Culver, who died in police custody.

'The court heard from several witnesses who testified that RCMP officers approached bystanders and told them to stop recording and delete their videos. They were threatened with arrest, imprisonment and having their phones confiscated.'

What Are Your Rights When Filming the Police? | The Tyee Breaking down what BC’s laws mean for you in practice. A Tyee explainer.

He was the only Mountie convicted in relation to the night Dale Culver died, but the judge at yesterday's sentencing said evidence other officers directed witnesses to destroy cellphone footage “suggests a broader systemic concern within the RCMP.”

What you need to know:

Probation for Mountie Who Ordered Witnesses to Destroy Evidence | The Tyee Bystanders said police told them to delete videos of the arrest of Dale Culver, who died in police custody.

The former Prince George RCMP officer "continued upward" within the RCMP despite the obstruction allegations against him.

It was only because he lied on the stand — and not because of the guilty verdict — that RCMP moved to dismiss him.

LNG Canada likely delaying flaring fix to save money | The Narwhal Experts think LNG Canada is prioritizing profits over the public and ask why the BC Energy Regulator isn’t stepping in

Legal, policy and engineering experts speculate the three-year timeline is more likely a financial decision for LNG Canada, combined with a lack of enforcement by the BC Energy Regulator.

Inside a Surrey ‘Local News’ Site Run by AI | The Tyee Surrey Speak published fake news about a mayoral candidate and an AI-generated picture of a real murder victim.

By spewing out “AI slop,” sites are making it harder for people to separate fact from fiction. And in the process, they are eroding the already fragile trust the public places in the media. @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Why Was The Atlantic’s David Frum Working With Israel’s Ambassador? Hacked emails reveal the magazine editor’s shady work with Israel’s U.N. ambassador.

An RCMP Officer Obstructed Justice and Lied in Court, Judge Rules | The Tyee Dale Culver’s family wonders if they’ll ever get answers about how the Indigenous man died.

A Prince George police officer who obstructed justice following the death of Wet'suwet'en-Gitxsan man Dale Culver, and later lied under oath, will walk away with a criminal record but no jail time.

Inside a Surrey ‘local news’ site run by AI Surrey Speak published fake news about a politician and an AI-generated picture of a real murder victim

Last month Surrey news site published a scoop about a Vancouver politician's shock resignation.

Except that never happened.

Our investigation found the website, Surrey Speak, is powered completely by AI. And it has links to a tech company backed by SFU #vanpoli

The military industrial complex won today. I wonder how many Defence insiders made strategic personal investments 24 hours ago before markets closed. And I wonder how many AI-enabled weapons were trialed in combat today, specifically for development data. It's all so crass.

The Crown Corporation Quietly Promoting Military Exports To The U.S. “This is just business as usual, despite the international geopolitical arrangement seemingly dismantling in front of us.”

NEW: As 🇺🇸 gets ready for more wars of aggression, a Crown corporation is quietly promoting more 🇨🇦 arms exports to the Americans.

Last year, the Canadian Commercial Corp. more than doubled the value of contracts with the US DoD to $2.1 billion.
