Without friends

Fact checking the Vance speech www.thecipherbrief.com/column_artic...

My latest: The democratic world will have to get along without America. It may even have to defend itself from it

Est-ce que le gouvernement du Canada a protesté, par voies officielles, contre les insultes ou menaces subtiles de Trump à l'endroit de notre pays? Même si elles n'ont pas été faites officiellement, ça vient du président, c'est public...

Zone Info | La défense de l'Arctique est au cœur de la critique de Donald Trump contre le Canada. Il accuse le Canada de ne pas faire sa part dans la défense de l’Amérique du Nord. A-t-il raison? Entrevue avec Stéphane Roussel, expert en stratégie militaire www.youtube.com/watch?v=33HK...

Trump’s tariffs embody economic nationalism disguising systemic exploitation. Framed as protection, they escalate costs for workers and consumers while entrenching corporate power. Trade policy here is not security—it is class warfare.

THIS IS FREAKING HUGE

The UN Charter was drafted in 1945 by people who had learned the lessons that the aggression, isolationism and tariff barriers of the 20’s and 30’s had led the world into a conflagration. Article One makes it clear: threats of annexation are illegal. So are unilateral tariffs.

It just occurred to me that I should've called this piece "Smoot-Hawley 2: Tariff Boogaloo." www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/beggar-thy...

This is a great piece.

He poisons relationships. Your uncle (let's call him Sam), your friend, your only neighbour, who lives on the same floor as you, so you never locked your doors. Uncle Sam is family. You haven't always agreed on everything, sometimes he's been weird.

Super key! The Square One Fallacy www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... @jonathanjarry.bsky.social "We’re about to see an awful lot of this square one fallacy, as disingenuous actors and their ignorant followers argue that we have never studied things that have a large scientific literature behind them."

This is a good start. Be cautious and always double-check before trusting anyone, including us. We aim to help altruistically and for free. Knowledge is power, and sharp minds are the greatest threat to authoritarian regimes.

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man shouting at those damned kids to get off my lawn, sometimes I wonder if this generation can't wrap its mind around the concept of reading for pleasure.

The guy who cheats at videogames is cheating at everything else, and winning. What are you going to do about it, Mark? Sundar? Tim?

US official policy is to weaken Canada economically, end Canadian sovereignty and annex Canada to the US

Happy National Embroidery Month my friends!

Thank you, Canada!

Important stuff... 👇 Fake papers are contaminating the world’s scientific literature, fueling a corrupt industry and slowing legitimate lifesaving medical research theconversation.com/fake-papers-... by @joelving.bsky.social We need to clean up the academic literature!

Just asked an antivax to explain something and was told 'hang in (sic) for a few more weeks and you will learn more than you want to know. It’s going to break your heart!' Sounds like assimilated propaganda. But... with scientists muzzled, will the lies become the official New Truth? Scary.

Après, on va convaincre les Américains que les Canadiens sont des corrompus et on envahira. Comme Poutine a fait pour l'Ukraine?

From time to time, I bring you views about what’s happening in the United States from writers and journalists in other countries. This piece is from a columnist in Canada. Read it and let me know your thoughts.

Ce qui est significatif, c'est que pour les rares critiques, on parle de 'courage'. L'opposition et la critique raisonnable d'un régime politique devraient être un devoir et quelque chose de normal, pas quelque chose qui nécessite du courage. Bravo Mesdames. bsky.app/profile/ledr...

If you share my deep concern that a fascist like Elon Musk could use the X algorithm to interfere with the upcoming Canadian election please write to Elections canada and demand a full investigation into X's interference in Canada. [email protected] www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Le dilemme de quitter ou pas les plateformes « emmerdifiées » et le futur de notre vie en ligne si on veut que cela améliore la vie ensemble. Ce texte est brillant (comme pas mal tout Doctorow).

New study shows radical-right populists are fueling a misinformation epidemic www.zmescience.com/science/news... Yep, #misinformation a political strategy. From study: "...we find that radical-right populism is the strongest determinant for the propensity to spread misinformation."

5 years of Netflix US profit: $15.1 Billion 5 years of Netflix exec pay: $652M 5 years of taxes paid by Netflix: $236M In a 5-year span after Trump's tax cuts, Netflix paid top execs 3x what it paid in federal income tax. Yesterday, Netflix announced it was raising prices again.
