Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

@stphnmaher Danielle Smith and Doug Ford are in a race to the Tory bottom, plundering all the way down.

She didn't disclose this free flight from the Saudis for months. It would be better to be up-front, announce it before-hand, or to let taxpayers pay. I would, generally, prefer that taxpayers pay and politicians explain why it was necessary.

"Nothing here is normal," says ex FCC senior staffer Gigi Sohn. "This is the prime example of the fix being in... In 35 years of doing this - I've never seen anything that even vaguely approaches what has gone on today." 8 U.S. state AGs & DirectTV are suing to block the deal.

BREAKING: Ontario’s Information and Piracy Commissioner weighs in on premier Doug Ford changes to the FOI: “This amendment is about hiding government-related business to evade public accountability.” On Doug Ford’s use of a private cell phone for gov’t business: The Government of Ontario is currently seeking leave to appeal a court ruling that unanimously upheld my office's order to produce call logs from the Premier's personal cellphone that relate to government business. This is to ensure independent examination to determine whether they may be subject to access under the law. Based on evidence showing that the Premier routinely uses his personal phone to conduct government business, it is likely that they are. By changing the law retroactively, the government's message is plain: if oversight bodies get in the way, just change the rules. Full statement: #onpoli

Crude oil. ✅ Natural resources. ✅ Nice people. ✅ Leaders who don’t make jokes about Pearl Harbor. ✅

without E. M's enormous wealth & possible interference, about which he has boasted, possibly T*** would not have won. Democrats backed off quickly from questioning the election even in swing states where T***p's margins of victory provoked some skepticism. after protracted 2020 investigations, virtually none in 2024. despite the enormous importance of the election no one seemed to care very much.

We could argue that Trump 1 was a one-off, a freak occurrence. But electing him *twice*? Raises reasonable questions about what kind of electorate would do that.

@anammostarac Bots are smarter than this.

Eventually, content from humans will be considered the slop.

🧵: During last year's snap election, as he fought a campaign under the banner of protecting Ontario from US tariffs, Doug Ford visited Washington, D.C. in his role as premier. Here's a look at how much it cost the public, mid-campaign. Uncovered through FOI. #Onpoli

Doug Ford says non-market housing that holds down rents and prices is “communism” So here’s $1.3B to bail-out investors who made bad bets on the condo market Paid for by you financialpost.com/real-estate/ca…
