It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Conservative MP Simon Hoare criticises Trump at #PMQs:
“Will the PM undertake to raise with president Trump that Canada is a valued, respected and much-loved member of both NATO and our Commonwealth?
”This childish nonsense of a 51st state should be called out by the PM for what it is.”

He blinked.
2 days ago Donald demanded our nationhood as the price of peace.
Then we hit with $125bil in counter tariffs and pulled American products off the shelf.
So now he settles for a fentanyl czar.
Canada shows the world how to stand up.
But this is ain't over.
Don't drop your guard.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

"We need to cut it out with all this culture war stuff and focus on bread-and-butter economic issues" is playing on a loop in the Centrist Campaign HQ and it would be nice if we got a smidge of reflection about why it failed over the last four years.

I - absolutely genuinely and unironically - believe in Father Christmas; it’s just that someone needs to perform him for him to be, but whoever puts presents in stockings *is* him, however temporarily.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I understand why it sounds weird to say, 'building a bunch of fancy new townhouses and skyscrapers will make housing more affordable!' but it simply appears to be true.

So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.
