If you're keeping score this week, Carney is:
* Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks.
* Undermining anti-greenwashing laws.
* Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan.
* Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

one of the things I really do not understand is why so much of the development of robots seems to be focused on making them bipedal like humans. Why? It's an insane allocation of resources when it would be much easier to give them three or four "legs" or come up with some new system

The thing about the government bailing out genAI when the bubble pops, is it can't.
It's almost half the US stock market. It is bigger than consumer spending.
The government would have to spend like half its entire budget, on something that loses billions of dollars a month, forever.

This is a good idea in general - the World Cup is a big scam in terms of what a country gets out of hosting it.
I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.

Nicely summarizes how the Carney government’s thoughtless, reckless AI strategy will reduce government capacity while making government more dependent on foreign tech firms.
As with a lot of things with this government, it comes down to a refusal to think about long-term governance issues.

seriously they all just come out of the woodwork, each having convinced themselves that their desires are cool and normal and slam head-first into the reality of No.
Prosecute criminals? Sure, good. What if the conduct doesn't reach the level of a crime? Maybe it will turn out Trump was guilty of something related to Epstein, but so far what we've seen is politically damaging.
Also, there were two separate federal cases against Trump and he was convicted in NY.

I've noticed, from this happening every single time, that pedophiles have an overwhelming obsession with having their desires seen as "normal". so if you manage to take one down inevitably other pedophiles will come out of the woodwork to defend them.

financial genius immediately dives head-first into every possible tech scam
Instead of protecting Canadians from scams, Mark Carney’s Liberals are planning to develop a framework for stablecoins after crypto billionaires spent big to buy one in the United States.
The government claims it will “benefit men and youth by improving prosperity and good governance.” 🫠
