The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

In September, Israel is set to play Canada in a Davis Cup tennis match in Halifax—sportswashing its genocide.

El Jones argues that Israel should not be allowed to play while it turns Gaza into a graveyard.

All I can say is, pay attention to how people talk or joke about this shit. That’s important data. Move accordingly.

A full minister for AI, but jobs and families are mashed together, and labour gets a 'secretary of state'.

Carney is going to do a lot of damage. The priorities are wrong. Very wrong.

Nice, quick read from @nolore.bsky.social on the NDP being a giant mess: noraloreto.substack.com/p/saving-the...

This is a topic I've been thinking about constantly. I have an idea, but I'm not sure it would work, and I know a lot of people on the left would hate it.

The guy filming does a good job of questioning the masked abductors. We need more.

I promise you, if something like this ever happens in my presence, I will make a scene. Filming, yelling for help, questioning the kidnappers, calling the cops, whatever. We cannot let these events happen quietly.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.
