It only matters if it's 250 or 2000 years ago?
Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

A "spectacular" intervention by the SPVM, where they rammed two of their vehicles head-on, while trying to crush a man wielding knives.

The spectacle is one of wanton cruelty and incompetence at all levels. The police chief commended officers for their courage.

I keep thinking about how we thought Brexit would be the worst act of national self-sabotage in a generation, and then America decided we would not be outdone

Denis Coderre posted on FB about how the invasion of Venezuela is good, actually - and then called his critics woke.

These Liberals are also consistently wrong with Covid, climate change, AI, energy and Gaza.

I used to think it was lying, but now assume they're just terrible thinkers.

This is why I'm not interested in getting bogged down in the who-stood-where particulars of one obviously and gratuitously unjustified shooting. Every couple hours we get fresh documentary evidence of ICE/USBP acting as unrestrained jackboots terrorizing and brutalizing peaceful people.

i cannot stress this enough - this isn't just about anime titties.

github banning whatever it considers 'pornographic' is huge. depending on how you interpret it (and it's left deliberately vague), this threatens legitimate technological development and sex workers' infrastructure.
github mass-suspended a bunch of developers making mods for popular erotic games, without warning or explanation. even when users try their best to stay withing platforms' rules, they get fucked www.404media.co/github-ban-s...

Canada is "20 years behind" on flood planning, experts say, and maps meant to show at-risk areas are severely outdated. That poses harm to people and property, but plans to update flood maps often anger homeowners, who worry about insurance costs and property values. thenarwhal.ca/outdated-flo...

I took the Pie-IX BRT from Pie-IX station to Jarry.

16m22 total time, including 1m10 waiting at the start (with windows open). About 1/3 of the total travel time was at red lights (including 2 for ~50s each) and bus stops (~20s average).

Progress?

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here?

And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site?
