Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

Update: environmental groups say yeah, this announcement isn’t sufficient to mitigate the harms of the powers the government is giving itself with respect to endangered species (like the whales!). Soooooo a nice move in general, but insufficient in context. Which means Carney is indeed full of it.

The fact that Trump seemingly won't spend any money from his PAC makes it clear that he believes that the money is his. Nobody in his orbit will correct him, but they will break the law to further his malignant delusions.

I'm currently replaying Still Wakes the Deep by The Chinese Room. They're an amazing developer. Still Wakes is not just one of my three favorite horror titles (alongside SOMA and Alan Wake 2), it is one of my favorite games altogether. Everyone's Gone to the Rapture was astounding too.

Eleven days before the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Egypt's intelligence chief made a secret mission to Israel to warn officials of a possible assault. He was on the ground just 67 minutes, so intent he had to come in person. Vivian Salama has the receipts. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The smartest thing that the RCMP can do right now is to continue to do nothing about Diagolon and the fascist active clubs because so many cops are members or sympathetic to them. If they keep doing nothing, that will turn out well. Plus, a pipeline might be in danger somewhere in the nation.

The art in the Absolute line is incredible. And profoundly refreshing. I love that the characters in the Absolute line feel entirely distinct from those in the main universe. They are so powerfully drawn that they don't feel like the B-team.
In Absolute Batman, Scarecrow walks through his menacing cornfield. Oblivious, he walks into Batman who towers above him and asks, "Leaving so soon?"

Canada needs to accept that our business community is largely pro-America and is driven entirely by monetary considerations. They would undermine our sovereignty in an instant if it profited them. This needs to be made culturally taboo. Businesses that undermine Canada need to be boycotted.

Superboy Prime knows that MJ and Peter should still be married. Once his shift ended, he punched a hole in reality and reconned Joe Quesada and years of Spider-Man continuity. Then, to ensure that everything was fixed, Prime entered Silver Surfer #3, 1968, and killed Mephisto with pure aura.
In his civilian job in the comicbook shop, Superboy Prime's manager is scolding him from getting emotional about the merchandise and for tardiness. In an inset panel, Superboy Prime is seen yelling that Peter Parker and Mary Jane should still be married.
