That's genuinely disturbing. US states with the death penalty have had numerous cases in recent years in which death penalty drugs have tortured people horribly before killing them, but I've never heard of a case where the recipient just didn't die.

Funny how the number of data breaches seems to have risen starkly after the whole DOGE thing. Hm.

The part of me that remembers being religious likes to think that God doesn't give His grace to people who do evil in His name.

A Turkish media outlet is reporting the fake AI journalist “Daniel Robson,” who was published by the Ottawa Citizen, Policy Options, Western Standard and The Hub, was targeting a “critic of the Moroccan ruling elite” The dissident suspects “Daniel Robson” may have links to “Moroccan intelligence”

Genuinely astonishing investigative work from Türkiye Today's Ilker Sezer, exposing how an AI "journalist" infiltrated Canadian media and gained a platform big enough to launch coordinated character attacks on specific Moroccan dissidents in Canada. www.turkiyetoday.com/world/exclus...

We cannot look away from Russia's wanton slaughter of the innocent. Give Ukraine what it needs to make "Never again" now. Send a clear message that the world will not stand idly by while big nations butcher the innocent because they think no one will stop them.

Reading stats on Canadians' mental health and stress levels is remarkable because they don't even need to use the word "Trump" for it to be immensely clear as to why Canadians' stress levels mysteriously jumped from 2024 to 2025.

My guess is that AI actors don't catch on save as a niche. It's like chess. We've had, for years now, chess machines that can annihilate even the best human players. It's been 30 years since Deep Blue beat Kasparov. Yet more humans play chess than ever. Watching robots play robots just isn't fun.

Not the first time Trump has raised the stakes to an absurd degree, tanked American soft power and then done a massive victory lap over essentially the same deal he started with. The political capital spent to achieve minor concessions is simply not commensurate.

I know Ossoff is a wonk at heart, but he effectively cuts to the core of why people hate Trump. Whatever your ideological predilections, what people hate about him is his flagrant abuse of power for corrupt and malicious ends.

If I'm the Democratic brain trust, I'm putting ending the delegation of power to the Presidency at the centre of my agenda. The United States is in this position because Congress has given up too much of its power to the President, especially on tariffs. It's turned the office into that of a king.

I enjoy that Hasan's response to being mascotized by the Republicans has been to say the same things he's always said, but in a suit and tie. It wouldn't be the first time he's been a net drag on the Democrats.

The most revealing part of Trump II has been seeing just how many Americans either don't think Canada is a real country, or else don't care at all. Canadian public opinion has absolutely noticed this sentiment.

Went to business school. Has no idea what a deficit is. I cannot believe we all have to literally change the world because Trump wields absolute power with the wisdom and responsibility of a particularly bratty six-year-old who got into the sugar jar.

Given that Trump has already flagrantly abused tariff authority that should be in the hands of Congress, giving him even more tariff powers is... a choice. A predictable one for the Republican Congress, but a choice nevertheless. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Predictably, the Republicans line up to deliver veiled threats against Canada now that Carney begins to deliver on his overtures towards Europe. Dovetails with Trump's stated doctrine: The US views Canada as a puppet satrapy that exists solely to feed raw materials into the American machine.

Part of how we respond to American aggression should be reconsidering foreign ownership of Canadian mass media. It's untenable in today's day and age that so many of our daily newspapers are owned by Postmedia, which is two-thirds owned by a MAGA hedge fund based in New Jersey.

Sometimes, when I read a CBC article about Trump's antics, I find myself thinking I'm really reading the Beaverton. "Trump threatens to invade Iceland" and "David Eby puts up big 'Never the 51st state' signs on the border" feel like skits from a satire.

Indeed. But of course the US ambassador to Iceland is another hapless Trump political appointee who once joked about making Iceland the 52 state so I suspect he’s drunk way too much Kool-aid to care one way or another. Goddamn amateurs.

The best way for Canada to respond to Trump is with our actions. Continue to shift trade away from the US and restructure our economy to be both more self-reliant and more diversified in our choice of partners, and don't get into a Twitter bun-toss with the big baby.

That sure is Trump threatening to annex at least twenty countries, including no less than five NATO countries or parts thereof. The 25th Amendment should have this guy's name on it.
