THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE is a multigenerational mystery set in rural Canada, and it is now available for purchase as an ebook from Amazon (amazon.ca/dp/B0GCYD6Q77) & Kobo (kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/...). I'll also be releasing a chapter a week for free on Inkitt (inkitt.com/stories/1625...).

This is just... Incomprehensible. I can't even think of a historical parallel - the Germanii reinforcing Armenia against a mooted Parthian invasion that Rome is encouraging? Even that doesn't work. The Mongols sending troops to the Aztecs is about as much sense as this makes.
BREAKING: A full-scale airlift is running around the clock, transporting troops and military equipment to Greenland.
The operation is extensive, “beyond anything we’ve tried before,” a source tells DR. Danish F-35 fighter planes and warships from European allies involved.

Okay, so I haven't watched the show but I just read a preview of the source material on Amazon and, well, if anyone claims to be reading these books because of "allyship" or similar, then that is uh definitely a thing they can tell themselves

I had access to an early edit, and it intrigued me.
Unfortunately I can't read long form on a screen at all, so I never got to finish it.
But if you can read books on a device, I recommend it.

This is the money paragraph, and it's not just male sexuality but maleness in general that gets the non-negotiable treatment. Men can consume great art or watch porn (or both!). But media for women is assessed through a social justice lens. This particular front of the culture war is women's work.

For non-German speakers:
“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Each time I see an ad for “Mercy” (the one with the AI “court”), I’m overwhelmed with questions like “Why have an AI court?” “Who would’ve wanted this?” “Why would we entrust capital cases—or any cases—to AI?”, and I just realized it’s the most realistic movie about AI ever made.

I'm Canadian and am quite sure that if this happened in Canada, we'd be writing letters to our representatives that were slightly more firm than polite.

London high school library's 10,000-book cull sparks censorship debate lfpress.com/news/local-n...
More than 10,000 books were tossed from the library of London’s H.B. Beal high school last year, a process that led to the resignation of its frustrated teacher-librarian.

the common wisdom is *still* to think all the objections come from Christian conservatives! This is the first I've heard of this story about books being pulled for "woke" reasons, whereas every few weeks my feed is wall-to-wall commentary about the conservatives driving the book cull in Alberta.

I'm anti-institutional-statement for this sort of thing but man did it ever give away the game when leaders stopped staking out their brave and principled positions as soon as they encountered pushback.

@ academics on here: have your institutions put out any Statements on global events lately? If so, what did they say? If not, is this something that they stopped doing in, say, the past two-ish years, and did they announce that they were going to stop?
