We used these documents to build a detailed chronology--it is 158 pages long--that pulls excerpts from key documents showing the sequence of chemical industry interventions, often with their former lobbyists who now are EPA bosses as they moved to deconstruct public health protections.

cool, cool

Red Roses suffer back-to-back defeats for first time in 10 years as Canada make statement www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/o...

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

That is the reason. Since Lidar has definable physical benefits, NASA is not going to allow SpaceX to remove it. There is no such actor, oversight or care in the automotive space. Zero. Allowing Musk the freedom to prioritize cost cutting (and fraud) without offering an iota of a safety case.

Haha. Yes!

One more for the afternoon crowd. Two of the last lines of dialogue I wrote on the last BioWare game I shipped.

What do Albertans want their provincial government to focus on next year? 43% affordability 38% health care 26% housing 25% economy and jobs 20% pipelines 6% independence A pretty clear message about what matters most. abacusdata.ca/in-alberta-...

Absolute unit.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

Snowflakes. Triggered snowflakes.

THE REIGN OF TERROR IS OVER! THE RED ROSES HAVE FINALLY BEEN DEFEATED! WHAT A VICTORY FOR CANADA! WHAT A DAY FOR RUGBY 🏉 Bloody hell what a game!

"Musk's donation, split in two tranches of $75 million and $83 million, came weeks after SLF created Texas PAC, an affiliate that’s focusing on the TX-SEN race between Talarico and Paxton. SLF transferred amounts identical to Musk’s donations to Texas PAC one day after he made them."

Elon didn't run from California's restrictive regulatory environment, he ran towards the ability to buy people like Ken Paxton wholesale

Honestly, fuck off with this revisionist history. Trudeau and Guilbeault didn't cause the world price of oil to crash in 2014. They did nothing to "shut in" Alberta's resources. Trudeau offered help to Alberta in 2015 when Harper didn't. www.readtheline.ca/p/jim-dinnin...

Four days after Musk wrote, “Zelensky has gone too far.” @financialtimes.com #ukraine www.ft.com/content/3708...

Ukraine said Elon Musk’s SpaceX restricted its Starlink satellite internet service w/o warning, disrupting Ukrainian military operations…Meanwhile, Russia unleashed an attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure overnight, leaving at least 600,000 people without power - www.cnbc.com/2026/10/14/r...

2/ "...“FEMA CFO Mary Comans was just fired for funneling $58M to illegal migrant hotels in Manhattan” and he called it a “criminal action.” The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, the post by Mr. Musk was entirely false."

I wrote about the feeble attempt by prominent tech punditry mainstays like John Gruber and Casey Newton to rationalize their continued use of Elon Musk's propaganda website.

Guy who has been told year after year for years that the $1 trillion company operates like this, since long before it was a $1 trillion company: "I still get baffled that a $1 trillion company operates like this."

Hegseth broke the news about live streaming an execution to a MAGA propagandist who has 14/88 tweets and once hired Atomwaffen members (who were at Charlottesville and friendly with the Tree of Life shooter) to help him harass the family and neighbors of a Jewish murder victim.

ten years into "every Tesla will drive itself" and here we are

An organization barring media from covering “the most important free speech event of the year” is chef’s [redacted]

@theonetruedoktor.bsky.social's short essay on Pete Hegseth's determination to livestream an execution is factual & clinical yet at the same time enough to make one's blood boil. thestandarddispatchandmail.substack.com/p/the-public...

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

Germany’s AfD has asked Elon Musk to provide the party’s first state parliament leader with a company car after BMW refused to.

Tesla leaned on Dutch regulator to ease its FSD review, emails show

Global Affairs Canada (GAC) claims it dropped out of #Disinfo2026 "following changes to the framing of several panel discussions." GAC was scheduled to chair my panel today on disinformation in the Arctic. But, our panel description hasn't changed since June...! Receipts in the next post below.

Ok sorry but Tim Hodgson's interview on Power and Politics really gives the game away. He's asked, isn't there language in Bill C-5 that all projects listed as in the national interest should be considered for how they *contribute to Canada's clean growth and climate goals*? Oh! There it is 👇

Standing outside the gates of the Qu'Appelle Indian residential school.This a haunted dark place. A 5-year-old taken through these gates had a lower chance of survival than a Canadian soldier fighting in WW2. The red dress and the orange shirt hang on the gates. We remember #orangeshirtday

the Fuel Clock shows Americans have paid $74.4 billion more on gasoline & $47.5 billion more on diesel since March 1 compared to a year ago. Total cost will hit $122 billion today. also updated the state map where you can find out how much more you're paying. link in my profile.

Jamil Jivani and the Very Masculine™ Jacob Mantle think that acknowledging homosexuality in schools is "a threat" as they spout debunked "gender ideology" bullshit, while calling people traitors. Yeah, the Conservative Party is headed down a really healthy path, guys. Yikes. #canqueer

[Metallica voice] Free speech for the dumb FREE FUCKING SPEECH

26 years ago, she published a wildly prophetic book about Silicon Valley. Then she disappeared. What happened to tech writer Paulina Borsook?
