I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I don't know who in Canada needs to hear this, but the greatest threat to you is the alignment of state and corporate interests and not anything foreign.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.
One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This absurd oversensitivity about professors having sex with minors procured for them by sex criminals shows that campus cancel culture is out of control.

A weirdly on point microcosm of MAGA’s whole toxic nostalgia trip. All those things always sucked. You thought they were good because you were twelve. Rinse & repeat.
Late-stage MAGA means accepting that things will never be great again

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

The cons will destroy Canada, if we let them.

They're importing the worst of the american culture wars and targeting our own citizens.

They hate half the country, just like Trump and the republicans.

You have no rights with a con in control of your government.
Alberta's justice minister has tabled a bill to invoke the notwithstanding clause to shield a suite of legislation from legal challenges. The laws in question restrict the rights of transgender people in access to health care and sports, and affect K-12 education of all students.

The UCP is controlled by people who find the idea of a poor person getting the same level of healthcare as a wealthy person obscene. The idea that everyone is equal bothers them, on a basic level. And they govern accordingly.

Patriarchal white supremacy has never been about “protecting women and girls.” Rather it’s a social system that empowers privileged white men to do what they want to women’s bodies while simultaneously claiming migrants are sexual abusers of “their” women. This racist misogyny is painfully ordinary.
We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA.

These people are evil.

While parroting slogans about "peace," authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a close ally of Trump, is doing his utmost to plunge Hungarian society into a hybrid conflict that he himself has fabricated. Why? Parliamentary elections are scheduled for April 2026, and Orbán is at risk of losing.
