Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

There’s a lot of speculation about who leaked the Witkoff–Ushakov call — Europeans, Americans, Ukraine, “someone hacking WhatsApp,” etc.

Good ol’ Jen represents the views of all the Harper Cons. We just refuse to see and admit it. Mainstream media treat Ford and Smith and Pollievre like any other politician when in fact they are far right. They’ve already been selling us out - just like King Harper did.

That's what I'm worried about too. If PP wins, it'll be because the authoritarian strategists and media help Poilievre play to those echo chambers.

Sure, we've known for years that speed cameras work well to protect kids in school zones, enforce laws that make roads safer for everybody, keep motorists' insurance rates low AND free up law enforcement to concentrate on real criminal activity, but....

Good morning everyone 🌞

Fresh day, clean slate.

Canada’s still standing tall — a little bruised from the chaos, sure, but we’re steady on our feet and moving forward like we always do.

You can feel it in the air, a shift, a bit of momentum we haven’t had in years.

Putin aide Yuri Ushakov called the leaked chat with U.S. envoy Witkoff “very unusual,” blaming WhatsApp and hinting someone wanted it exposed. He claimed neither side wanted the leak, but compared it to the Flynn case, suggesting Witkoff might have enemies in D.C.

Yeah right.

We literally just watched this type of thing in 2 separate US election cycles. Kamala was attacked by the left for being too far right, ditto with Hillary. Both were called war mongers & corporate shills. It helped deliver a win to a murderous authoritarian regime instead.
