@Cesar_Lizarraga @dwallacewells The article says 41% percent decrease in 18 months. Your graph is over 20 years

@dwallacewells That's what happens when you very creatively replace homicides with "forced disappearances" (they're actually kidnappings and the dead never reappear). So yes, there are fewer homicides in the graphs, but now they are replaced by people who "can't find".

@Klosateur @MatB78 T'es con

@MatB78 Arsenal aurait plus de fraîcheur si les joueurs achetés avec les 500 M€ de dépenses nettes sur les deux dernières saisons étaient utilisés plus intelligemment.

Arteta mens ouvertement. Là s’il ya un journaliste qui fait son métier, il lui sort instantanément les statistiques des minutes jouées par le Bayern et l’effectif court pour qui on rigole un peu mdr

@mikkeed1 @_BoldPolitics Do you want your country to be cucked by the US?

@_BoldPolitics Why is this such a focus for for him? Does he think palantir hates the British and are out to sabotage us? Palantir won the contract because they offer the best product. Simple

Time to take the fight to Palantir.

@JamesTate121 France is rule of the land

Here's an interesting clash of the two laws: During WW2, the Dutch royal family was in exile in Canada, and Princess Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet in Ottawa. To ensure the child would not automatically gain Canadian citizenship in addition to Dutch citizenship, the Canadian government created a legal exception by declaring the hospital room temporarily extraterritorial for the duration of the birth. This meant the room was treated as if it were outside Canadian territory at that time. As a result, Princess Margriet was considered solely Dutch at birth under the citizenship rules in effect. At the time of her birth, Juliana was still crown princess because her mother, Queen Wilhelmina, remained the reigning monarch until 1948.

Those explosions walking toward Harry Styles are real. Real explosives were buried in the sand on the actual Dunkirk beach in France. The camera filming it weighs 80 pounds and costs half a million dollars to replace. The film running through it costs $200 a minute. Nolan spent $100 million making this movie, and almost none of it went to computers. In wider shots of the beach, where you'd expect to see 400,000 soldiers waiting for rescue, there's no computer trickery either. Nolan's team photographed actors in costume, printed the photos out, glued them to mesh fences, and propped them up across the sand like scarecrows. About 6,000 real extras handled the foreground. Cardboard handled the rest. The fighter planes in the aerial scenes are three actual World War II Spitfires borrowed from private American collectors. Nolan's team bolted cameras to the cockpits while the planes flew real maneuvers over the English Channel. Warner Bros. reportedly paid $5 million for a vintage plane specifically to crash it on camera. Nolan strapped a half-million-dollar camera to that plane and sank both into the ocean. His crew dove down to retrieve the camera. He's wrecked three of these cameras across his career. Each one costs about as much as a house. His team shot 54 hours of footage and used 1 hour and 46 minutes of it. 97% of what they filmed never made the final cut. 975 rolls of film total, close to the most ever shot for a single movie at that point. Dunkirk made $530 million at the box office on that $100 million budget. It was the highest-grossing World War II movie until Nolan broke his own record with Oppenheimer in 2023. His deal with Warner Bros. was $20 million upfront plus 20% of every dollar the movie earned, the richest director contract since Peter Jackson on King Kong. The average Hollywood director in 2016 made somewhere between $750,000 and $1.5 million. I keep thinking about the fact that this shot exists because one guy decided blowing up a real beach with $200-a-minute film was worth it over rendering the whole thing on a computer. Tarantino ranked Dunkirk his #2 movie of the decade. You can see why.

@nenshi Class traitor

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

@TheKoopaGuy Beauce, France is pretty bad too

@ecce_michael @Arnold_Platon You are living in an alternate reality mate, wake up

@nmac_7 @Arnold_Platon Open borders, soft-on-crime policies, gender ideology, muslim alliances. What’s actually further left than this?

@ecce_michael @Arnold_Platon Believe me, there is such a thing as further left, open your mind a little bit, or do you lack imagination

@nmac_7 @Arnold_Platon You can't go much further on the left than LFI you idiot

@jmwind @SantoshYadavDev That's not what self deprecating means you idiot

@SantoshYadavDev Bravo. You got the self deprecating Canadian style. Not everyone did.

I interviewed Mark Carney for a job. It was 2021. We were looking to bring in a board member or executive who could help us think about entrepreneurship in the context of the global economy. I was asked to interview a guy named Mark. I Googled him. He had a decent CV. In our call after brief introductions, he jumped straight in and said, “I see on Strava that you’re a runner and you live in...” It threw me off a bit. He had clearly done his homework. Borderline stalking. We talked about running for a while. He was good at small talk. He casually mentioned that he runs marathons now and then. Mental note: he does his homework. Also, is he distracting me so I do not get to my questions? I started worrying he would try to schmooze me instead of getting into anything substantive. In my defence, I had done some homework too. I had not stalked him on social media, but I had read several articles he had written. I learned that he leaned strongly globalist and believed that most of our challenges do not respect borders and will only be solved collaboratively. I wanted to see if he could argue against his own position. More specifically, I asked when countries should invest in self-reliance. For context, I explained how, in software, we have learned that purely centralized systems fail in obvious ways. But overly distributed systems fail too, when small issues propagate across too many dependencies. I asked whether societies behave the same way. Are we sometimes too decentralized? When should countries accept less efficiency and invest in more centralization or self-reliance? He smiled. I could not tell whether he thought the question was childish or whether I had annoyed him. Then he broke the silence and said, “This is a great parallel. Give me a second to think about it.” We ended up having a great conversation. That said, it took him a lot of words to make his point. Professional talker. He liked the exercise. I could tell he had spent so long defending global collaboration that he had not fully prepared for this angle. I did not know it at the time, but he was in the middle of writing Value(s), which is essentially an ode to global cooperation. We went over time. It did not faze him. He cared about finishing the discussion. At that point he was improvising, and it felt natural and fun. It was a genuinely thoughtful discussion. I learned a lot. In the end, he did not join us. But we all wanted him to. When I see him in his current gig, a small part of me laughs that I might have helped warm him up. The more I think about that conversation, the clearer it becomes that he probably did not want his current Prime Minister role. Not in the way people want promotions or titles. Some people spend a lifetime preparing for problems they hope never arrive. When the moment shows up anyway, they step in. Not because it is appealing, but because it is necessary. This just happened to be his moment.

@kajakallas Resign, you are a net negative for the future of the EU

China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies. If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO. Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. We also cannot let our dispute distract us from the our core task of helping to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.

@LamnessNameless @ViribusUnitis83 You are in denial about your history

@ViribusUnitis83 Isnt that how architecture works? Most of your cathedrals are not the original. They were built, torn down and rebuilt. Thats how architecture works. Its not like every building in paris or brussel or stockholm is the same as when it was built.

Je suis désolé, mais le bilan architectural et urbanistique des pays capitalistes pour le XXe siècle n'est pas meilleur. Pratiquement tous les centres-villes américains, australiens et canadiens ont été rasés, en Europe toutes les reconstructions des villes bombardées pendant la 2GM sont complètement ratées (surtout en Allemagne, mais pas seulement), les villes nouvelles qui ont poussé pendant les Trente Glorieuses sont laides, d'autres ont été défigurées, etc
