OK, Pete Hegseth’s an idiot. He left out the word “training” when he said we’re building a Qatari Air Force facility. So I get why people were confused after his announcement yesterday, but I keep seeing folks repeat some version of “Qatar is building an airbase in Idaho.”

That’s not happening.

It's funny that this is a bullpen game. Do you remember the pitching staff we had in 92 and 93! #bluejays #worldseries #Toronto. We were so deep in pitching compared to this Blue Jays Team.

They don't want to save anyone from anything. Trans people are just an opportunistic group they can target. Exactly how facism in WWII was carried out.

Josh Hawley just bald-face lied during this Bondi hearing.
He claimed that the Biden Administration “tapped” his phone.
What they actually did was request phone records for the time period around the J6 insurrection. Hardly the same thing.

Canada needs to develop its own #AI models and infrastructure as well as literacy. This situation mirrors the historical challenges faced in the refinery, oil, and gas sectors. I disagree with some of the policy mentioned here. #AI #Canada #cdnpoli

Canada must treat AI literacy as its next great nation-building project

Canada’s next nation-building project should be AI literacy: empowering every citizen to harness artificial intelligence for innovation and growth.
