How about we impose a tariff on the US because they don’t have universal health care, which is a human rights abuse.

The US already devotes more than 40 million acres to growing corn for ethanol fuel production.
If only ~1/3 of that land were converted to solar PV, it could generate enough electricity to cover the entire country's electricity needs.

MPs who lose their seat in an election receive 50% of their annual salary in severance pay and I’d love to hear someone in the media ask Pierre if he’s cashing that cheque before he tries to win another seat but now I’m being ridiculous because we all know Pierre will not be taking media questions.

I think people have a kind of Gell-Mann amnesia towards LLMs — like, they can think "AI is bad at things I am good at and know about, but good at things I can't judge because I'm bad at them"

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

To Americans, you see that orange line? This is progressive voters stepping up to block the conservatives despite our disdain for the Liberal Party. Take note, sometimes it's about more than yourself when taking on fascists. I'd rather argue with a Lib about funding than a Con about human rights.
