It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Conservative MP Simon Hoare criticises Trump at #PMQs: “Will the PM undertake to raise with president Trump that Canada is a valued, respected and much-loved member of both NATO and our Commonwealth? ”This childish nonsense of a 51st state should be called out by the PM for what it is.”

He blinked. 2 days ago Donald demanded our nationhood as the price of peace. Then we hit with $125bil in counter tariffs and pulled American products off the shelf. So now he settles for a fentanyl czar. Canada shows the world how to stand up. But this is ain't over. Don't drop your guard.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Across Europe and the US, neither the centre-right nor centre-left (i.e. Liberal democracy) know how to deal with the far-right insurgency. Why? Because they have no policy to deal with growing inequality, unlike the far-right, which (acting on behalf of billionaires), pretend to

South Koreans who went to sleep before 10.30pm will have slept through the president declaring martial law to overthrow democracy, a military siege around the National Assembly, lawmakers scaling walls to bypass barricades, a vote to overturn it & the president vowing to imminently end martial law.

Evidence has demonstrated this effect in numerous cities now. I understand why it sounds weird to say, 'building a bunch of fancy new townhouses and skyscrapers will make housing more affordable!' but it simply appears to be true.

The Christmas tree has arrived on Trafalgar Square! It's a gift to the people of London from the people of Oslo. A tree has been given annually since 1947. Thank you our Norwegian friends 🇳🇴 🎄

They don't make 'em like they used to! This is a metal and leather straight-back dresser trunk, c.1890. It converted from steamer trunk to dresser so the traveler was not required to unpack. All it needs is a pair of wheels!

I love the Charlie Brown Christmas special. There's an eerie loneliness that hangs over the whole thing. The music, Charlie Brown's depression, the dying little tree, the flatness of the children's voices, the inevitability of death. A Christmas masterpiece.

In addition to sobriety (already a sufficient consideration) some others who would love to seek mocktails and unboozies are: • Folks on medications • Folks who have to drive after • Folks who don't want a headache • Folks who like mixed drinks, but not saying weird stuff at Grandma's dinner table.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
