The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

lol Trump is taking "immediate, decisive action" - he's firing all the firefighters, meteorologists, climate scientists, water managers and turning the forests over to the timber industry and accelerating global warming. Deadly decisions by dumbasses.

Same as the GOP. Same as Reform in the UK. Same everywhere.

According to the 2024 Ipsos World Affairs Report, Canada is the most positively viewed global leader, 79% of people across 30 countries believe we’re a force for good. Stability, respect, kindness. That’s the reputation on the line every time we vote. Leading ahead of Germany and France.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social I wonder if the way to stop everyone talking about the 51st state business is to stop asking about the 51st state business 😊

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

🍎🍎🍎 Canadians should watch this to remind themselves of who the CPC "supports" as its leader. Pierre Poilievre wants to be an obnoxious person. He has succeeded. This video has even been clipped into American podcasts for how reprehensible it is. youtu.be/V_1BJUi2Z04?...

Meanwhile, in Canada…

hell yeah

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead. We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

Beltaine, also known as May Day (1st May), marks the beginning of summer in pagan & Gaelic calendars. It's marked with Maypole dancing, bonfires, fertility rituals (👀) & by making posies & leaving them at the doors of those you love. Merry May Day 🌿-some May posies my daughters made 8 years ago:

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com can always be counted on for his straightforward accounting of the news. “Trump has made himself..a humiliated, worldwide loser.” May Lawrence always be free to present us with a truthbomb #CupOfJoe.

One thing that I was thought was revealing about the divisions within Canada: When Carney acknowledged Poilievre's hard work on his campaign in his victory speed, the crowd of Liberals cheered. When Poilievre mentioned Carney in his concession speech, there was loud booing.

Of course, Trump thinks having to face accountability is a hostile act.

"What makes you think I had anything to do with it?"

This!! 👇👇

You must vote tomorrow. Out of respect for the Vancouver massacre @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social suspended his campaign where #PierrePoilierve and his psychos are using it to benefit. I wouldn’t stoop to that level today out of respect for what happened. I will urge you to vote no matter what. #Canada

I remember the pride I felt in 🇨🇦 when same sex marriage was passed 🌈 and the joy I felt attending my first same-sex wedding. I also remember when Poilievre voted against same sex marriage, while his gay father watched, and I will never forget who he is. #cdnpoli

Trump can’t stop talking about Canada. Poilievre can’t stop copying him. If we lose the CBC, we lose one of the last defenses against U.S.-style chaos. Vote to keep Canada Canadian. Vote to save the CBC. #SaveTheCBC #NoMAGAinCanada #CdnPoli #StopTheSlide

Vote!!

Pierre Polivere claims if Carney wins the election, Canadians will need to forage for food on public land. He is desperate. I hope Fanjoy kicks his ass in Carleton.

The Canadian election is tomorrow, and I hope my fellow Canadians vote for Mark Carney. Learn from America and don't let the other guy win because too many people stayed home

ReSkeet if you’re Canadian 🇨🇦 Let’s build the Resistance! Build the Momentum… #CarneyForCanada 🇨🇦

www.cnn.com/2025/04/27/p... Trump continues to blame Biden for everything.
