Doug Ford wants you to forget he's the reason there's no limit on ticket resales *right now*, and he wants you to thank him for looking into a problem he created instead of looking at all the other problems he's created. Look at directly at Doug Ford's record: #onpoli #onted

Only a handful of reporters had a Pentagon pass for as long as I did—30 years—until I had no ethical choice but to turn it in last year. Thank you, judge, for this ruling; and thank you, @nytimes, for bringing the suit.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

BBC confirms the US is responsible for the Minab school massacre that killed 175 people, mostly girls. The "advanced" AI targeting system used outdated coordinates to hit a base next door, ignoring satellite images showing kids playing in the courtyard. Absolute war crime.

We grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's just gone. We don't talk about this enough.

I don’t normally push my culture on ppl but this year I’m texting all my American friends to remind them that the Earth has just begun a new cycle around the sun and that Persians formalized this moment as Nowruz (beginning a new year at the spring equinox) over 2,500 years ago.

You used to have your bet ideas in the shower, now you have a waterproof speaker. You used to get lost in thought waiting for the train, now you have a phone to fill the gap. You used to daydream on long flights, now there's a screen in your hand and on the seat in front of you. You used to think on your morning commute, now you have a podcast playing before you leave the house. We used to stare in to the sky or into a fire and let our minds drift, now we have TVs and phone to replace that. We filled every silence and lost all of our peace, creativity and ideas that lived within that silence.

Brazil’s President Lula slams Trump: “We can’t have someone thinking he’s the owner of the world and wakes up in the morning: I'll take Greenland I'll take the Panama Canal I'll take Cuba I'll take Venezuela I’ll bomb Iran Countries have sovereignty. And it must be respected.”

An Ohio company that made a mom return to office during a high-risk pregnancy has been found liable for the newborn's death and ordered to pay $22.5 million in damages. Chelsea Walsh made a work-from-home request four days after undergoing an operation on her cervix to prevent her from going into early labor. According to the lawsuit, her employers, Total Quality Logistics, "presented Walsh with an impossible choice — work at the office and put additional strain on her child, or take an unpaid leave of absence and lose the income and health insurance she needed.” Walsh gave birth two days after being forced to return to the office. Her baby died in her arms an hour and a half after being born. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/o…

Why are the standards higher for The Bachelorette than the President of the United States?

If Mark Carney wants to ever utter the words "cultural sovereignty" again (and who knows, maybe he doesn't), then the Liberals cannot allow Hollywood to steamroll over the Online Streaming Act/Bill C-11.

This is why AI detectors WILL NEVER WORK. This was my writing, handwritten by me ON MY OWN without the help of any LLM. I ran it through Winston and Pangram (two leading AI checkers) and here are the very different results. Don't be fooled. AI Checkers don't find real AI at all.
