/r/Toronto is one of good ones and did praxis bullying Brad for all these years. There I said it. Turn down the moderating though.

As I’ve said before, and am even more confident of now: those bike lanes aren’t coming out east of Jane. I don’t think Ford was serious before, he sure as shit isn’t going to do it now. #TOpoli

God bless Etobiwoke, home of the Doug Ford/Olivia Chow/Mark Carney voter

This map is going to really fuck-up a lot of narratives.

Do you know how big of an asshole you have got be to get only 1 term as a Toronto Councillor?

Nevermind, resume the count!

Stop the count!

Patriots in control

Gonna try something: A couple of under-discussed reasons Albertans feel alienated from Canada: 1) They are TOLD over and over again that they feel alienated. People, to a significant extent, feel how they are told to feel by people they trust or how they think is expected of them by their peers.

To reverse my usual schtick, conservatives who claim to believe getting their way on immigration is an existential issue for the viability of western civilization are weirdly unwilling to pursue that goal by eschewing flagrant corruption or being more moderate on taxes & health care.

Love to see CBC spend the last 30 minutes with completely unchallenged Separatist talking points.

First look at young Jason with his machete in the ‘FRIDAY THE 13TH’ prequel series.

I mean obviously this lady can read, she passed the bar somewhere. What I think is happening here is that she is *just* old enough to maybe need reading glasses and refuses to use them

Move over Joe-Rogan-Of-The-Left we’ve got something better.

Back in my day the reason we made Eng students take humanities courses was to prove that they weren’t functionally illiterate. Where did this civic virtue stuff come from lol

Europe being the continent of rentiers is like the origin story for much of world history.

for a banal example, the fact that anthropic will simultaneously publish long diatribes about the risks of AI surveillance and then contract out Claude for Palantir to resell to CBP is psychotic, and there is no reason why i should take any of their moral protests seriously while they do that.

JJ to Marc Carney, basically the Dean of Davos: “Do you think this guy understands leverage?”

Dancing very very VERY close to saying “OpenAI stole our almost-complete proof of Navier-Stokes from internal access to our ChatGPT sessions because they were desperate to scoop Anthropic” which is absolutely 100% a believable thing OpenAI would do right now cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/st...

Wow. We couldn't reach a deal with the country that we already have a deal with. So tariffs are increasing, including on some things that already had tariffs despite the earlier agreement? Well, who's to say which side is to blame. Probably one of those "both sides" things I hear so much about.

Sorry, but we’re going to have to lock the word genocide away now. People simply cannot be trusted with it.

An ER nurse who divorced her cop husband after they simultaneously discovered he was sleeping with an EMT and she was sneaking around with a fireman

Anti-AI people: AI can only produce slop! You can’t do research with it, it’s all propoganda! Actual Mathematician: I just used it to disprove a famous 300-year-old conjecture

Increasingly think we need a ‘modernity is actually good’ political tendency. the right is putatively pro-industry and economic growth but thinks science is gay and wants to throw out vaccines for essential oils, the left putatively believes science but also embraces crank degrowth NIMBYism

What exactly is the point of Warren anymore? Her economic team that staffed Bidenworld was a massive failure, Fight Club almost tanked the chances of winning the senate this cycle with Plat, and now she can’t even say “The evil guy debased himself” Nothing left but vanity.

“He was a warmonger but he was fun at dinner parties.” Just stop.

the term 'dead cat' gets thrown about a lot, but Farage's by-election is a pure deadcatting (the by-election to draw attention away from the guilty-as-sin sleaze scandal)

The cherry on the sundae is that she's a policy wonk for Heritage, so getting this sort of coverage is part of her job, but it also speaks to how the NYT's culture pieces are basically, 'journalist interviews their friend in the same elite circles.'

Man, Bluesky is really on a heater this week. All of these stories feel like grand finale Stupid News Season beats. Stuff that should be happening August 20, yet we’re only 1 week into July! Can’t wait to see what the rest of this summer has in store.

If Binface is returned will it be enough to break the spell?

If only there had been signs. Like a giant Nazi tattoo.

Not a lie, a well sourced rumour, and it’s nowhere near as damaging to any of their brands as supporting Platner will be.

No one cares.

SCOTUS shadow docket-ass ruling, honestly incredible

This whole thing is very blackpilling. Even many reasonable Americans are very happy to join in on this when it is in service of an outcome they would like.

RIP to all the catholics excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

Trump: I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. I think I'm going to give one medal of honor to myself, one to them, and we'll have a threesome.
