Take a Ride on the Interborough Express, New York City’s Future Train Line (Gift Article) The Interborough Express, a new rail line that would link Brooklyn and Queens, could change the face of the city.

This new rail line, the most ambitious in 90 years, could change the face of New York City.
We hopped on a freight train to film the route, and show its potential. Take a look! 🚂

Je connais Chris comme un militant infatigable pour la sécurité routière dans le Centre-Sud. Il cherche la nomination de Projet Montréal pour la prochaine élection.

Si vous habitez dans Ville-Marie (et êtes ou voulez devenir membre de PM avant le 9 juillet), considérez sa candidature.

Is Google about to destroy the web? Google says adding more AI to its search engine will rejuvenate the internet. Others predict an apocalypse for websites. One thing is clear: this era of online history is closing.

Google has a new button. It might destroy the web as you know it. Experts say the new “AI Mode” is an asteroid aimed at the heart of the internet, one that could decimate millions of websites. It seems this chapter of online history is over. Here’s what comes next: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

"While different visions were put forth by various contenders, we disagreed agreeably, and the leader of every party quickly and graciously accepted the results," Carney said.

"At a time when democracies around the world are under threat, Canadians can be proud that ours remains strong."

A stupid thought (probably). If Democrats cannot even push Schumer out, how can we expect them to lead an effective resistance to the Trump regime?
Loud and angry barks, followed by whimpers.

La démocratie est fragile. Ne tient finalement que par le fil de la trempe des gens auxquels nous donnons le pouvoir.
Le régime parlementaire canadien, qui imbrique législatif et exécutif (si majorité), avec en prime la dérogation, confère beaucoup de pouvoir au PM; bien peu de garde-fous.
Pensez-y.

IT IS A COUP This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

Sure he owns other things, but it’s really interesting to consider that one of most significant things we collectively have the power to constructively do in these truly dangerous times is take away much of Elon Musk’s power by making Tesla worth nothing.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Très cool!!

How close is a new bird flu (H5N1) pandemic? Probably not around the corner but getting uncomfortably closer.

You've probaly seen various headlines this year about bird flu and the potential for a new pandemic.

So I've written a new substack as a simple explainer on what a flu pandemic actually is, why bird flu and what's been going on over the last 3 years.
