I have some ideas on where we can find money to help reduce grocery costs. www.cp24.com/news/2025/05...

These cuts not only impact workers but also harm our communities and the people across the country who depend on vital public services. In the face of tariff threats and global economic uncertainty, now is the time to invest in strong public services—not weaken them.

The good thing about this weather is that it should clear up in a month or so.

Israeli use of human shields in Gaza was systemic, soldiers and former detainees tell the AP

The trend line on this is a serious problem for democracy in our province. vocm.com/2025/05/23/s...

"I'd crusade if the new Pope asked me to" wow, cool. What if he asked you to love and protect immigrants

The leaders of Canada, Britain and France warned on Monday that their countries would take action if Israel does not stop a renewed military offensive in Gaza and lift aid restrictions.

If America's wealth was evenly distributed, each person would have $471,465. Each couple would have almost a million dollars.

“In response to X user queries about everything from sports to Medicaid cuts, the xAI chatbot inserted unrelated information about ‘white genocide’ in South Africa.” wtf is happening… www.wired.com/story/grok-w...

Congrats to Big Tech for inventing the bus.

Minister of AI but none for Labour.

This means it was an ok choice.

Out at the bbq with two layers and a coat made for Everest base camp on. Spring in sin jawns is glorious.

Two for joy.

I simply cannot see myself entering the United States for a long, long time. Maybe ever again.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel.

Sure would be handy to know what responsibilities fall under what departments in this new Cabinet/departmental set up at GovNL.

Cranks up tariffs to 130 odd percent. Drops it to 30% (which is still high) plus steel, aluminum and others are, I assume, at 25% plus with another weird 90 day window of economic uncertainty and potential ratcheting up or down. Seems like a less than ideal way to run an economy.
