Canada put up the money for this international bridge because the US wouldn’t do it. The cost is to be repaid over time by tolls. Now that it’s close to opening, Trump says he wants half ownership
Trump said he would start negotiations with Canada over a bridge project to connect Michigan and Ontario, threatening to block its opening

Canadians are so lucky to have Carney in charge at this very moment, and the wild twist is that they only have Trump to thank for that...
My latest: Mark Carney just delivered the most important speech in recent Canadian history. Now, we wait for the fallout. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney just shook up the world
His speech in Davos might be the most important one ever delivered by a Canadian prime minister. Its consequences will determine his place in history — and ours.

You know, as someone who did grad school work on Arctic warfare, reformed DoD policy and readiness on the Arctic on the hill, and even advised OSD on Arctic policy matters….the Arctic is supposed to be the place where all of NATO is in firmest agreement. To call this insanity is to undersell it.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Since LLM's lack teleological thinking, attempting to outsource your own makes yours worse.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
