Twitter’s owner, billionaire Elon Musk, was leading a boycott campaign against the streaming platform, using his perch to punish it for daring to feature LGBTQ+ characters—representation that reflects the families of millions of kids and, for many, offers a rare lifeline of visibility.

"A clear visual clue that the photograph was not taken in Portland was that the first officer’s shield is marked 'Policia', the Spanish or Portuguese word for police."

As you can see, I had to use cutting edge #OSINT techniques for this one.

YouTube video by Mind To Free Trump’s Obsession With Controlling Canada Ends in Chaos | wolff responds

@profwolff.bsky.social speaks to fellow Canadians to warn them not to allow #AmericasDictator and the #TrumpRegime to divide them. Do mot believe the lies. Canada must never be the 51st state! #StopFascism #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 youtu.be/Mv_XCG6OtY0?...

Well that's an obvious explanation, isn't it? If you oppose the constitution then you are un-American and Clarence Thomas is your symbol of corruption. WTF? Idiocracy. Block Bot.

The founders were freemasons. The RC church is not American. Please explain.

Birds of a feather.

Claudia is a true leader. Mexicans give her a 70% approval rating. Tough critics they are, as she is one of the most intelligent leaders of any country. Women generally are superior leaders, when given the chance. We are so fortunate in Canada to have Mark Carney as our genius PM. #CarneyCan LEAD 🇨🇦

If our Supreme Court has 9 justices and USA has 9, why isn't theirs 90, with 10 times our population? Why didn't Biden expand the Court? Just a curiosity, which seems relevant.

More evidence coming to light that the USA election was tampered with in swing states. So in the end, what if Kamala Harris actually won? What is the remedy in American law? I'm well versed in Canadian & British common law, but not American constitutional or election laws. What is the remedy in US?

Perfect message for PM #MarkCarney to meet #POTUS tomorrow. Keep up the Big Beautiful Boycott, Canadians. 🇨🇦🍁

The Canadian media's tolerance for Pierre Poilievre's antics is intolerable. PP is an insufferable boor who sells "news" for some. To most intelligent, critical thinking Canadians, it's disgraceful and an insulting waste of time. Until he makes a contribution, blackout buffoonery. Never PoiLIEvre.❤️🇨🇦

We don't need a 4th territory, but we can look after the extended family for a while. Get it together, Americans.

College Students Have Already Changed Forever Members of the class of 2026 have had access to AI since they were freshmen. Almost all of them are using it to do their work.

The best, perhaps the only, way out of AI’s college takeover is to embark on a redesign of classroom practice. But with so many things to worry about, who has the time? In this way, professors face the same challenge as their students... At some point, everyone on campus will have to do the work." 🧐

Why Canada Should Join the EU:
Bigger markets have more leverage, get better deals, set rules, call shots. Scale, with regulatory consistency, attracts investment, jobs. The EU, with its motley crew of 27 countries & 450 million people, accounts for 1/6th of global GDP.
