Trump’s first year back in office has produced just one major piece of legislation, a massive package of tax cuts and energy deregulation — the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” as Trump dubbed it — which Republicans passed using a budgetary maneuver that circumvented the filibuster and allowed for passage with just 51 votes. He has not outlined a major legislative agenda for the rest of his term, governing largely by executive orders.

Anyone know how to turn of the constant AI prompts from Adobe? I turned off all the AI settings I could find, and yet it keeps asking how it can help, even though I thought I was fairly clear with it how it could help.
Screenshot of a conversation with Adobe's AI assistant after it asked how it could help. Human: "You can't. I don't want to use AI assistant, and I don't want prompts to use it every time I open a PDF." AI response: "The document does not provide any information about disabling AI assistant prompts in a PDF viewer or Adobe Acrobat. For assistance with this issue, you may need to consult Adobe's official support or settings documentation"

At least they're doing a good job of beating the Nazi stuff.
Screenshot of a Twitter reply saying: "Our President needs to his own personal security team to be around him. There’s Marines stationed at the WH so it makes sense to have a Special Forces unit as his security."

There's probably more evidence for that claim than Trump's

Consumption of aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame k, erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol was associated with a faster decline in global cognition, particularly in memory and verbal fluency domains. Consumption of combined LNCSs in the highest tertiles was associated with a faster decline in verbal fluency and global cognition in participants without diabetes and faster decline in memory and global cognition in participants with diabetes.

Now we have to worry about violence against wontons? Or is it violence by wontons? Violence using wontons? #CDNpoli

"As we see every day in the east of Ukraine, the threat of naked aggression and wonton violence in the Euro Atlantic region — it's no longer theoretical, no longer just a remote possibility," Robertson said.

All Vegemite should be non-compliant, imo
Earlier this year, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) told Leighton Walters, an Australian-Canadian dual citizen who owns the Found Coffee chain located in Toronto and Guelph, that the batch of Vegemite he'd imported to sell at his stores was non-compliant with Health Canada regulations.

A side effect that will kill and displace millions of people in the coming years. That's not a side effect, that's an effect.

While on stage Monday, Trump's energy secretary Chris Wright called himself a "climate realist." "The Trump administration will treat climate change for what it is, a global physical phenomenon that is a side effect of building the modern world," he said. "Everything in life involves trade-offs. Everything."

Farmers have been through Trump’s trade wars before in 2018 and 2019, when he imposed tariffs on China, which retaliated with its own tariffs on U.S. farm products, sending sales tumbling. In response, Trump set up a payment program during his first term to compensate some of the affected farmers. The amount of payments doled out was about equivalent to the revenue the United States collected from the tariffs on Chinese imports.

This one's real though, as far as I can tell.
A Donald Trump post on his dumb social media network from August 2024 that whines about stock markets crashing, poor jobs numbers, imminent global war and incompetent political leadership.

Producer of shitty product blames anything but his shitty product for slumping sales. #CDNpoli
Screenshot from CNBC story that reads: "Brown-Forman has been reeling from a slowdown in demand so far this year, led by the U.S., Canada and Europe, which offset benefits from stronger sales in emerging markets such as Mexico and Poland."

It's been one year since I began working for Granthaven, a surprise return to journalism after my Metroland layoff. I also thought it had been 20 years since my first story was published. However, I've sadly given evidence to the "journalists can't do math" stereotype. It's actually been 21 years.

Donald Trump, who led the last free trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico, blaming the American leaders who signed bad trade deals with Canada and Mexico.
www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #CDNpoli
"I'm not even blaming the other countries that did this. I blame our leadership for allowing this to happen, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing, on just about everything, every aspect."
