Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.

The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to “keep the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness”.

Machado is in hiding but continues to campaign against Nicolás Maduro's grip on power.

The internet, and particularly social media, is rife with mis/disinformation. X's new location feature has helped to shine a light on something we already knew. There are plenty of suspect accts on Bsky and I would love to see a similar location feature here, so long as it included VPN indicators.
How X's new location feature exposed big US politics accounts
Dozens of pro-Trump accounts are being accused of misleading followers after the social media site began showing user locations.

We must outlaw Citizens United!
Since 2000, political donations from the richest 100 Americans have increased nearly 140x.

They collectively spent over $1B in 2024, amounting to 1 in every 13 dollars spent during the election.

Is it any wonder why so many regular people feel like they no longer have a voice?

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

I totally agree, but then I reflected on how the PM deals with drumpf, who is very similar to #FrauSchitt in mentality and that's to appear to give something while giving nothing. This agreement placates schitt for the time being and shuts her up while giving her an agreement in principle.

This week it’s all pipelines all the time. Alberta and Ottawa seem close to a deal, but how do you get it over the finish line?

James Moore & Gerald Butts are back to talk pipelines, and then jet fighters, today on the pod.

PP hired Steve Outhouse to be his campaign manager.

He helped to craft a policy that targeted 2SLGBTQIA+ students in K-12 in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Provincial Human Rights Act.

How about laying off your hate-on for the PM for a while and report that?
