In future, I'm going to block people who want to engage with me on philosophy or AI, unless it's clear the engagement is well intentioned. BS is no place to discuss difficult issues. Engage me otherwise if you want to troll.

Trump’s “mass deportation” is not deportation at all.
When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they’re sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp.

The US ambassador just doesn't get why Canadians resent Trump's idea of making Canada the 51st state.
Surely everybody wants to be American, right? Why else are there immigrants?
He also has difficulty distinguishing Ontario from Canada. It's like confusing Texas with the US, guys.

After Israel has murdered thousands of Palestinians, destroyed Gaza, starved children, blocked aid, expanded illegal settlements in the West Bank, Labor still refuses.

Just calculated our 2026 health insurance premium on the DC health exchange. It will be nearly a **300%** increase. We’d have to pay $50,590 for a family of 3, for a mid-range plan. Insane.
