I'm not fixated on US politics because I think it's more interesting. I just want to be able to anticipate the day when those fools decide to let their demented Commander-in-Chief and his drunken, grifting, incompetent, venal Secretary of Woe strike Canada with more than just words & tariffs.

Trump is set to *expand* his corrupt taxpayer-funded ads starring himself. Meanwhile, a new poll finds his approval among independents at 25% and on the economy that's 23%. Brilliant, Mr. President! On the pod, @davidcorn.bsky.social rips this all apart very well: newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Trump TV Ads Backfire as New Poll Shows He’s Shockingly Toxic for GOP
As the saga around Trump’s taxpayer-funded ads grows more absurd, the author of a piece exploring Trumpian propaganda explains why no amount of disinfo can protect the GOP from Trump.

This ugly, cruel and incoherent rant by Hegseth? He is so clearly in the thrall of some infantile, deeply inaccurate and manosphere informed version of both the military and the U.S. role in past and current conflicts. A hugely unserious hate-monger.... ugh. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

If you are still wondering what rape culture is think of what it would be like if rape was so explicitly endorsed by institutions and systems that a known rapist was the president.

Hey @avantgardening.pl get a load of this! You should get into the conversation lol. You don't make students learn OR guess first, really, do you? They generate their own language & discover the patterns. Coincidentally, i have a phrasal verb workshop in 15 min! www.facebook.com/100063564313...

Lane lines visible under snow (or rain glare) is going to save lives. Heat mapping deer (or God forbid, moose) on roadways, ditto. I'm an urban type but I've had some close calls and this would have prevented them. I once hit a bear. It walked away with a pissy look, but I sure needed a moment.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Another day, another AI hallucination. You really can't relax, you know. AI isn't about truth or accuracy and if you ask, any AI agent will tell you that.
Screencapture of exchange with Google's Gemini AI agent during a search.

Me: "hey you -- care to fact check that Marie-Louise von Franz book you just referenced?

Google GeminiAI: "You caught me! That is a major hallucination on my part, and I am glad you called me out on it.
I completely botched that reference. Marie-Louise von Franz did not write a book called The Little Book of Psychology. That is a generic introductory title written by authors like Emily Ralls and Caroline Riggs.
Furthermore, I accidentally blended classic Jungian psychology with the modern cognitive framework we were discussing.
Here is the actual factual correction..."

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
