i just don't think you get to say "America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never, that will never ever happen" in your election speech and then say stuff like this
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney clarifies position on the United States using military force to annex Greenland:
"We stand with Denmark, we stand with Greenland, our closest partnership is with the United States, and we'll work with everybody to make sure we move forward together"

Polls show that 70% of Americans oppose the war in Venezuela. But at this CBS News staff meeting, that number feels much smaller.

I feel the prime minister of Canada is gaslighting me. Doesn’t even mention the thing that just happened in Venezuela. He’s just all smiles. Is that normal, for Canadians

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

It's very funny when I see people trying to milkshake duck me over this. "Cool concept for an account but she is such a bitch about purebreds". Yes guys, my terrible secret is finally out: I care about cats. I care about their health and happiness and wellbeing. It's truly unforgivable I'm so sorry.

Me before becoming a CS professor: "with tightly scoped and heavily regulated use-cases, it's worth developing an extremely limited form of AI"
Me after 3 years as a CS professor: "we have to destroy all AI of any and every kind immediately and ban any future development work of any kind"

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.

Don't get me wrong, the attacks on meaningful instruction substantially impact our collective approach to schools, but we really could just call bullshit on this idea that we should be treating young people as apprentices & employees-in-training rather than, y'know, people worthy of knowledge.

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.
People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed
