NEW: This is a REAL story in The Globe and Mail today.

Canadian Armed Forces are modelling responses to a US military invasion from the south.

They expect Canadian forces to be overrun in a fortnight, so the plan centres on Afghanistan-style insurgencies to inflict mass casualties on US troops

The Norwegians must be feeling terrible about how Trump is beating up on Denmark because a Norwegian organization didn't kiss Trump's Depends. Sweden is mopping their brow over their near miss.

The Vice President and the cabinet have to sign on to a 25th amendment ruling.

Impeachment and conviction in the senate would send a message to the new president that the 25th amendment wouldn't.

The 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
SECTION. 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Over many decades, we've made good friends in the neighborhood. Some of them have been a little nervous because we are a 7 foot, 300 pound pro-wrestler, but we've helped defend the neighborhood for decades.

Now, suddenly, we are going to steal a neighbor's kid because we are bigger and stronger. 🧵

Denmark is offering to buy California, The Netherlands is offering to buy New Amsterdam (Manhattan).

While we are having a yard sale, I just want to mention that there are a lot of ethnic Italians and Portuguese in Rhode Island, and that it would be a shame if a bidding war broke out.

TFW the medication Dr A gave you for one issue probably damaged your thyroid, and then you realize that a pain medication from Dr B is probably responsible for damage to your kidneys. 🤦

If I see "s1e6", I think, "7 bits is a weird size for a floating point number, but ok. I wonder what the exponent offset is?"

Then I wonder why they are talking about a tv show.

Contraceptive Nutella used to deflate grey squirrels in Britain.

Gift article, but limited uses. 🙄

Wow, Kristi said something I believe.
NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.”
BASH: “You are the government.”
NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔

US State Department should issue a level 4 travel advisory for the US. All the criteria match.

We have no health insurance subsidies, and we have Bronze level insurance because there is no Lead or Tin level.

Our monthly bill just increased $500 for two people.

"All mouth and no trousers"

Is this about being a little British boy wearing short pants, or is this about that dream where you are talking in front of class and suddenly realize that your lower parts are uncovered?

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

1) Putin is protesting Venezuela takeover as a cover for his Venezuela for Ukraine trade.

2) Nobody with a real financial interest actually wants Venezuelan oil fields. They aren't economic. Grandpa is confused. Putin sold Trump a moldy buggywhip factory.

We should think of Grok as Elon Musk's fancy printer.

Elon Musk's fancy printer is printing child sexual abuse material. Elin Musk's printer printed a note saying the printer apologized.

Elon is in jail because he printed CSAM on his printer. Duh.
