Amazing that this has become so normalized and blah for America that it barely makes a ripple. “The president is a rapist? Sure, whatever, have you seen the gas prices, now THAT is a scandal”. What a society.

I have court documents from a Trump and Epstein mid-1990s child rape case in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, which was a bestseller. Folks pretending they just learned about this are full of it. They refused to pursue it and let victims suffer in silence, fearing no one cared to hear the truth.

Pedestrianise Bloor, pedestrianise Bloor!!! Cmon imagine how great that would be!!!

But what about the sky? Didn't it fall? Every time a street is pedestrianised the same predictions of doom are made.

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

As in Hungary, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is being dismantled . “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.

Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

Instead of a AI that provides you with very confident yet entirely wrong answers, an AI that poses as an interested and intelligent yet ignorant and naive entity to whom you explain what you are trying to do. In explaining clearly, you will understand what it is you’re trying to do. And answer it.

Kid 1 shared a conversation with ChatGPT trying to get it to help him with his chemistry and his increasing frustration at its blank inability to count carbon atoms in a structure correctly. Ever. Very funny. And terrifying.

Cheers

Pretty huge victory for Chow really.

Got back from kid hockey at 10:45 and spent the next hour trying to explain some organic chemistry nomenclature to kid 1 and fuuuuuuuuck I need a beer and a sleep. Turns out I know nothing about organic chemistry but by the time he explained it to me, he understood it much better. Teaching eh?

Toronto woohoo yeah baby sadsad bradbrad good times

Sadsad bradbrad

Very small violin playing boss nova

These are the absolute best. Life-saving from all angles. I have been yelled at by a driver because my jacket was too bright, true story!! (The driver? Not so bright!)

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Toronto driver not sure where to park after city removes bike lanes

So my advice to my biology colleagues and students is to “celebrate the anarchy”. Think of it as job security-ish.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

One concrete lesson from Serbia that is applicable to America is - young people, fucking vote!!!! You must be sick of seeing your country run like this - fucking vote!!! If you don’t it will be more of this billionaire Epstein kushner shit, no progress, no justice. Just Fucking Vote. Please.

Trump's betrayal is cynical self-interest, globally dangerous & contemptible. Trump’s Molotov-Ribbentrop-style pact with Putin may fatally compromise the western alliance. Ukraine's fall would haunt Europe & the wider geopolitical biosphere for decades, www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have fulfilled my democratic obligations Please vote for the correct Chow!!!!

Air Canada blamed maintenance issues to deny compensation. Records show it wanted planes for other routes www.cbc.ca/news/gopubli...

Today, Oxford Street got its sparkle back. A street once dominated by traffic is becoming a place for people to spend time, meet, explore and enjoy.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

Solar is booming.

The US has gone 100% completely all in on AI as the sole direction for its economy. Since that will clearly fail since the number of use cases cannot sustain this capital investment, this will leave only malign uses for AI - spying, hacking, a massive international campaign of digital warfare.

There is no reason not to do this in Toronto for Bloor Street. There is a subway that runs the entire length of Bloor and it stops every 400m. From Ossington to Sherborne it should a continuous pedestrian zone. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Please vote & tell your people to vote.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Ginkgo yellow in the sun. Never fails.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

🤣🤣🤣 very on brand Absolutely insane.

Also digital election interference from the United States is a big issue. It’s popular to think that bots are coming from Russia and some are, however most of them come from the U.S. gs.statcounter.com/bots-vs-humans

Added bonus of Lula’s win: a huge FUCK YOU to Meta and Zuckerberg. What a colossal wanker he is.

One thing that many people do not appreciate about the beauty of the Serbian student movement is that it has no leader - every step and decision were taken communally, true grassroots democracy to the core. It’s pretty damn cool.

Hey, a day where politics doesn’t absolutely fucking suck! Serbia and Brazil eh? Amazing. AMAZING! America - just fucking do this yeah? Everyone else can, you can too. Your turn.
