McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Via Rail’s quality of service is far, far below international standards – Canadians need to stop normalizing this:

“Via Rail passengers arrived in Ottawa more than 12 hours late on Thursday, after “serious mechanical issues” forced them to spend the night sitting on a train in Brockville, Ontario”

They are pushing this because the trade war has made coffee in the US significantly more expensive. It already was without it, due to things like climate change, however it got worse in the US cause of tarrifs
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

"Working Class" of course here being defined neither by wealth nor employer/employee hierarchy status, but whether you job seems old-fashioned. So a millionaire construction firm owner who occasionally works on site is "Working Class", but his indebted secretary isn't.
a belief that liberals are not in spiritual communion with the white working class, which is held as the virtuous repository of american identity.

Not only is this article racist but just historically inaccurate. A lot of values of "enlightment" are from various laïcité movements, but ofc an american can't begin to comprehend that. Nor are you understanding that the rest of the global north hates you now for starting this stupid trade war.

Europe must “persuade younger Europeans that their heritage, culture and way of life — a fundamentally Christian civilization leavened and improved but not erased by the values of the Enlightenment — are worth defending,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

So called radfems going after things 2nd wave feminism, which is where a lot of radfem theory comes from, accomplished. I think it's time for them to be honest and say they are anti intellectual right wingers.
Kellie Jay Keen is the defacto leader of the "gender critical" movement, someone whom JK Rowling has described as a "genius," and here she is, in the wake of the decision to ban trans girls from Girl Guides, advocating for banning girls from Scouts.

They're a conservative cult. Plain as day. 1/

I mean he did also give into carbon capture... so like.
Genuinely feels like there's been a coup within the Liberal party thanks to Carney and his bros.

Not to say Trudeau's Liberals were much better (they bought a pipeline!) but Carney is a full-blown red tory and I'm shocked more Liberals aren't outraged their party has been usurped like this.
Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay

when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

fuck man

I don't think we make fun of these grown men for getting this mad over children fictional characters all the time.

Hunger games definitely was inspired by battle royal, in the sense of putting teenagers in that situation. But battle Royal was heavily inspired by The Long Walk, which mind you, has an adaption in theatres right now.
Quentin Tarantino bashes ‘The Hunger Games’ for “ripping off” ‘Battle Royale’ on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast:

“I do not understand how the Japanese writer didn’t sue Suzanne Collins for every f***ing thing she owns.”

He's mad that pope Leo xiv is going after Opus Dei, who btw kidnapped thousands upon thousands of spanish kids during the dictatorship. And it just so happens that Mr. Thiel right here was on a certain man's list known for kidnapping children.
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

A lot of so called leftists think that art is bourgeois no matter what, because they won't admit they are anti intelectual type of leftists who focus on emotion instead of actual theory. And miss the entire point that working class refers to working for a wage, which most artists do.
people don't see artists (musicians, writers, crafters, etc) as laborers and that's the entire problem right there

people are inclined to see creativity as a hobby or downtime activity, you can't make it actual real work, what rights do you possibly want when you're being a slacker with no ambition

Canada’s housing crisis isn’t random. It’s the result of decades of decisions that put profits ahead of people.

My plan treats it like what it is: a class war over who housing is for.

Glad that I can read paywall locked articles from my local library, because the article also mentions that the liberals under Trudeau never actually wrote the document on what exactly feminist foreign policy is. It was an empty promise from the start.

It was always so obvious, and the most obvious way was how a user would speak in measuring units.

I think the funniest ones are Americans caught being Canadian on twitter. Cause they were probably doing it for free, at least these Russian and Indian bots are getting paid.

More motorists should support this as well, it is annoying as hell when you're trying to turn into a street and watching for income traffic. But you got a massive SUV or truck in the way of your view, road side parking also takes up an entire lane for a few cars only.
It’s funny how a lot of folks were worried that Zohran was the Trojan horse YIMBY candidate who would have a anti-urbanist heel turn but it actually ended up being Adrienne Adams
