@_Adam_Holland @elonmusk @paulg The misconception wasn't common until recently.
The dumbing down is well underway.

Something I told 14 yo: There's a kind of politician who tells people "Your life is bad because <outgroup> stole what's rightfully yours. Vote for me and I'll get it back for you." They do it on both the left (Lenin) and right (Hitler), and they're invariably bad news.

@Shay_Jay_CK @jiratickets The HBC lives on, as a kiosk in the middle of Canadian Tire stores.

@jiratickets simmilar: the Hudson's Bay Company, which once owned a gargantuan swatch of Canada, & only shut down in summer 2025, was reduced to a store you'd find in Canadian malls.

does anyone have any more examples of this

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:
- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%
- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)
- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds
- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)
- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility
- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium
- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains
- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules
- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years
- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years
Ooops, sorry!
That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.
Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

There’s a new twenty-four hour cable TV channel now, it’s called "Fish TV." The channel shows a giant aquarium of fish twenty-four hours a day.
Except from two A.M. to three A.M, when it shows "The Byron Allen Show."

Liza Minnelli has outlived "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," which ends tonight. Not because of low ratings, but because CBS caved to Donald Trump.

@VancouverSun So, @KahlonRav believes we should have this instead of housing or hotels downtown but 6 homes on every house lot in the suburbs?

@caroltreardon What are they going to do with the data centre in 2 years after the crash comes?

BCHydro is about to tear down a public school in West End to build a substation at Nelson Park - and now they’re going to allow Telus to use this power to build + operate AI data centers in Vancouver? How is this a public necessity? #BCPoli

@jameszimmermann Who the fuck socializes in a grocery store?
English
@viiskb @jameszimmermann Yup.
A couple of weeks ago I had three different people ask me to get something from the top shelf.
I don't offer to get the top shelf things unasked, but I never refuse a request.
English
@jameszimmermann I have only once been in a situation when old lady asked me to get her a product from a top shelf. I ain't stopping my podcast for a hypothetical social interaction occuring once in a year.

@thegreatgig8 @atrupar They've given him the assessment at least 3 times. They wouldn't use version 1 every time.

@atrupar Wut??? The other day he said it was a lion, bear, giraffe, and shark. Meanwhile, there are only three animals, and these are the three.
Time for grandpa to retire.

Trump: "No president has ever taken a cognitive test except me. I've taken three of them. One in the first administration. They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. 'Which is the squirrel?'"

Trump on Russia: Somebody told me the other day, they beat Hitler, they beat Napoleon. That's what they do. @Acyn (2024)
Fact-check: Moscow burned after Russia withdrew in 1812, and the USSR backed Nazi Germany until the Nazis invaded them in 1941.

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.
