Hey @maxfawcett.bsky.social this is Carnage Carney’s rap sheet so far. Care to try and distort it into a win for the climate or are you sufficiently embarrassed yet to finally give up? #idiot #cdnpoli #climate

Russia’s oft repeated claim that “Ukraine is persecuting Christians” is a lie (like virtually everything else Russia claims).
Ukraine rejects the Russian Orthodox Church because that “church” is an arm of the Russian state. 1/3

@albomp.bsky.social has invited Isreali war criminal Isaac Herzog to Australia. We don't want him here. Unless it is in shackles ready to be sent up before the ICC to face trial.

You have to admire Trudeau’s political genius. He must have seen the polls, said to himself:’So you think you want a conservative, here you go’, and left the country to go fuck an American celebrity. He’s having the best time, contrary to his haters and the entire political commentariat… #cdnpoli

When Carney & the CON's suggest they'll do a carve out on the BC north coast tanker moratorium, ask them how we can trust them to keep the coast safe. After 10 months, they've yet to clean up a SMALL ship they let drift ashore last winter in Newfoundland! #cdnpoli www.tiktok.com/@ntv.ca/vide...

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

4. Yglesias instead seems to implicitly argue that politicians should only do what wins elections, virtue be damned. One wonders what he thinks of those foolish 1850s abolitionists. As Condleeza Rice once said, politics is the art of making the impossible inevitable. That ain't this.

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.

2. What he says about climate is patently false (more on that later) but to the extent he's saying "politicians shouldn't do the right thing unless it's popular", I'd note only that that is a toddlers view of leadership. If the popular kids are mean, should you be mean?

Alberta’s separatist leaders might be clowns, but the threat they pose with an oil-hungry administration in Washington is no joke.

For months now, Alberta’s premier has been catering to the separatists who dominate the membership of her United Conservative Party. Their appetite just keeps growing.

The Alberta Next Panel has released their report & they want to ditch the RCMP & hold a referendum on quitting the CPP.
On behalf of an Albertan who paid into the CPP for many years, I’d like to hold a referendum on getting rid of Smith & her band of horrible humans. Who’s with me?
