@Keir_Starmer Why are you shocked? You asked for this.

This is a deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.  My thoughts are with the Jewish community who are waking up this morning to this horrific news.  Antisemitism has no place in our society.  Anyone with any information must come forward to the police.

@ryangerritsen The devil is in the Vatican

Here’s Mark Carney at the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City enjoying the world premiere of Sir James Macmillan “angels unawares” with former UK PM Theresa May. Captain climate has traveled the equivalent of 6.25 times around the earth in his first year as PM.

@vishisinghal_ @bcherny Can we shadow ban all the fraudulent asians making untruthful posts?

The guy who created Claude Code ( @bcherny ) recently leaked how his team uses Claude. One CLAUDE.md that you drop into your project. Inside: past errors, conventions, rules - Claude reads it every session. Boris uses this every day at Anthropic:

@FoodProfessor Knew you would be an elbows up kind of guy.

Heading back to Canada this week after two weeks in the U.S. Best place to hear less about Trump.

@weatherdak Don’t try to make it look like stuff is on fire now

@Dallas_Brodie “Jessica” will likely nurder someone someday. The psychopathy has completely taken over and it is a matter of time.

Now Jessica Simpson (better known to some as Jessica Yaniv) hopes to take me to the BC Human Rights Tribunal for stating my support for @BillboardChis. He is saying that I am also engaged in “existential denialism” because I do not believe that a man can be a woman or vice versa. Jessica Yaniv Simpson wants control over the thoughts and speech of other people. Let’s see how far this gets!

@yegwave Some people do not want to be found

A man reported missing nearly six years ago briefly surfaced in Edmonton this month, spoke to police, and vanished again before officers realized who they were talking to. Jeffrey Caporale, 68, was first reported missing in April 2020. Earlier in March, EPS officers encountered a man near Groat Road and 102 Avenue who identified himself as Caporale, but his status as a missing person was not confirmed during that interaction. By the time officers connected the dots, he was gone. Police have been unable to locate him since and are now releasing images from that encounter in hopes the public can help. Caporale is described as 5’5”, approximately 150 lbs, bald, with light blue eyes. He is believed to be living somewhere in the Edmonton River Valley, including the Victoria Park area.

@yegwave That’s weak man

Pierre Poilievre raises budget concerns tied to asylum claims he says are being abused, backs legitimate refugees, and says Canada doesn’t need a version of U.S. ICE.

@vanessahlarson Oops. Wrong

Canada's postal system has issued 3 new stamps in honor of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, featuring stylized Canadian maple leaves in designs inspired by traditional Islamic patterns: linns.com/news/us-stamps…

@Sportsnet This is why they’re losing

Happy Pride night in Edmonton! 🌈🏒

@GlobalBC Ben Bankas is hilarious and he should be promoted, not cancelled.

Canadian comedian Ben Bankas is pushing ahead with his planned Kelowna, B.C., stop, despite growing calls to cancel the show. globalnews.ca/news/11737005/…

@elonmusk Can I choose no politics in my feed?

Algorithm is better today than 3 months ago?

@MadelnCanada That’s not jogging. What horrible form

Prime Minister Mark Carney jogging with The President of Finland Alexander Stubb in London. 🇨🇦🇫🇮🏃‍♂️

@JasminLaine_ @nlburkie I heard you speak and you are more articulate and clever than AI!

@drestowe @nlburkie Hope this video helps!

I asked ChatGPT: if I were the devil, how would I convince Canadians to help me stay in power? Here’s what it said: If I were the devil and wanted to stay in power in Canada, I wouldn’t need to silence people. I’d just convince them to silence themselves. First, I’d divide them—left vs. right, urban vs. rural, vaccinated vs. unvaccinated, protester vs. patriot. I’d make sure every political disagreement felt like a moral war, so neighbors stopped listening to each other and started reporting each other. Then I’d give them a villain to obsess over. Not me—never me. I’d make sure every conversation revolved around someone else. Preferably someone loud, controversial, and impossible to ignore. I’d flood their newsfeeds with it. I’d make them so emotionally invested in that external threat that they never paused to look inward at what was happening at home. If Canadians spent all day arguing about another country’s politics, they wouldn’t spend any time questioning their own. Next, I’d hollow out the meaning of patriotism. I’d make people suspicious of their own flag. I’d convince them that loving their country was embarrassing or dangerous—until suddenly it became useful again. Then I’d wrap myself in that same patriotism and dare anyone to criticize me without being called un-Canadian. I’d make pride fashionable, but meaningless. People would chant slogans and post hashtags, but never ask the uncomfortable question: proud of what, exactly? Finally, I’d convince them that voting for me wasn’t about policy at all. I’d tell them elections are about personalities. That parties don’t matter. That ideology doesn’t matter. That outcomes don’t matter. Just the person. Because if people ever started voting based on results, data, and consequences… I might not last very long. And the best part? They’d think they were the ones making the choices.

@joekent16jan19 How do you spell coward? J O E K E N T

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

🍀 Happy St Patrick’s Day! 🍀

@TechByTaraa C++ sucks. Memory leakage and poor performance.

Google uses C++. Meta uses C++. Microsoft uses C++. Amazon uses C++. Apple uses C++. Adobe uses C++. NVIDIA uses C++. Intel uses C++. Tesla uses C++. What stopping you from learning C++?

@erik_thorvalds He looks like a pedophile?

This is a very dangerous man. His name is Bernie Farber. He is now on a federal government advisory panel on online safety. Look into his background. He wants Albertans (and anybody who isn’t a leftist in Canada) put in their place.

@yegwave No bias detected whatsoever

🇨🇦 The federal government has appointed a 12-member online safety advisory panel that includes Bernie Farber of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, tasked with informing new legislation on extremism, misinformation, and potential social media age restrictions.
