We're in yet another oil shock. It will produce yet another inflation crisis. Another recession is likely.

It's a great time to remember that actually...the future is electric!

We need to invest in Canadian security, stability, and energy independence.

Renewable energy is the cheapest, safest and most resilient way to power our economy.

Nobody ever invaded a country for its wind or sunlight.

Canada must remember that the future is electricity, not fossil fuels

The industries of tomorrow demand abundant, low-carbon and reliable power

The Onion, continuing to give me life.

Researchers at the non-profit org called Pregnancy Justice report that in the last two years authorities have arrested at least 412 women for suffering miscarriages due to bans on abortion.

The same people championing abortion bans and prosecution of American women for miscarriages also claim bombing Iran liberates Iranian women.

Make no mistake: Whether in the USA or Iran, they were never about liberating women—but about controlling them with force and violence.

Google's profound contempt for journalists is on display as it rewrites publications' headlines in search results, sometimes altering the meaning and intent of the original. https://www.theverge.com/tech/896490/google-replace-news-headlines-in-search-canary-coal-mine-experiment

The company calls it an "experiment" -- as if that makes it OK.

Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines

Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After AI clickbait nonsense in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the “10 blue links” too.

I want to see him hauled before Congress to testify and all his corruption exposed.
Twenty years from now, there will be documentaries about how people could vote for Trump. They aren't going to say MAGA voted for a Christian, smart, caring, ethical, or capable man. They aren't going to suggest MAGA voters had a different vision for the nation. Those documentaries are going to say that many people frightened by change, motivated by bigotry, and informed by lies and propaganda unleashed the most damaging force the U.S. and world has seen since WWII.

"Yes, Vance was celebrating the intelligence of a same man who suggested injecting bleach into human lungs to kill the Covid-19 virus and who bragged that he “aced” a cognitive test with sample questions like “what is this animal?” while pointing to a picture of a horse." -- @AmandaMarcotte

The vice president’s alignment with Trump risks harming the persona he’s built with manosphere voters ahead of 2028

Unmasked ICE agents at airports? This is going to be a very public lesson in joining databases. 🤷🏿‍♂️

People are going to compile a database of unmasked ICE agents at airports.

People are going to join this database of unmasked ICE agents, with masked ICE agents breaking the law.

I'm not encouraging it. I'm saying it's going to happen.

That list of confirmed identities and evidence of law breaking, will then be forwarded to local law enforcement for prosecution.

Local DAs must then make a choice of whether to prosecute or not, based on the evidence in each case.

As long as they get their cut, the Epstein class does not care whether or not customers or workers are satisfied

FTA: "Businesses don't hire enough workers because that makes them more profitable. It's not because 'no one wants to work anymore' (though doubtless repeating that fairy tale helps shift the blame for long lines and poor service from real, greedy bosses to imaginary, greedy workers)."
