NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.
The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

In a bid to eliminate "red tape," the Carney budget just stripped away one of the few ways Canadian regulators review the pesticides that go on your food.
Carney's 'very sneaky' push to weaken Canada's pesticide laws
The Carney government is quietly proposing to eliminate a key pillar of pesticide health and safety evaluations as part of the 2026 budget. The change will stop the government from doing periodic eval...

it would be kind of poetic if after shelling out almost $70 billion to grab call of duty (etc.) and basically nuking the xbox brand in the process, call of duty ends up losing its spot as the top shooter

The number of people speaking to Vancouver council simply asking for *an actual budget* rather than a vague budget outline should in itself enough to stop council from passing it. The bare minimum should be saying what you're going to cut.

John Fetterman is on with Katy Tur…promoting his new book…and defending his sorry-ass decision. I can think of a few people who have a place in mind where they’d like to shove that filthy hoodie.

She’s not wrong.
When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.
And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.

The Blue Jays lose one of the most grueling games in World Series history, learn one of their best hitters will be out of the lineup… then beat the Dodgers 6-2 to even the series as if it were nothing. World Series is tied, and it’s going back to Toronto one way or the other.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I continue to be surprised by what is happening on Nextdoor, which has become more and more about ice warnings/alerts
It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.
But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.
