Canadian. Dislike misinfo/disinfo & propaganda fr PH & all political stripes. Concerned about our kids' futures & the rise of fascism. Can be uncivil. Distractions incl archaeology, history, non-fiction & nature/photography.
Pinned
Trying to engage with some diehard Dippers on here as well, same result: "TruAnon," "sad pathetic lives" "you're in a cult" "Liberals same as Cons" "Liberals are the same as MAGA" [both objectively BS] etc.
We need each other - contempt, disrespect, lies & condescension help fascists 👎

Glad to follow anyone who's ABC and do so, but miss me with the crap below.
We can see it. It's malevolent and counter-productive. It OFTEN makes wrong assumptions.
In return, I will refrain from correcting the propaganda as I see it & stop tone policing in other peoples' threads.

ROSIE: You've now lost two MPs to the Liberal Party... Is this a problem of your leadership?
POILIEVRE: No, it's a problem of Mark Carney's leadership that after Canadians clearly rejected a costly Liberal majority... he is trying to manipulate his way through backroom deals.

Liberal insiders report Andy Scheer in talks with party about potential floor crossing. Sources says Scheer has indicated he will consider joining the Liberals if they give him a new mini van, pay for his kids' private schooling, and Carney grants him an Insurance Brokers licence.

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.
He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.
He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

This paper contains some good arguments about an issue that concerns me a lot when I hear my colleagues talking about LLM use in developing their research:
Whose ideas are you presenting as your own?
(Though the fatalist argument the authors make at the end of paper is disappointing/bizarre.)

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
