My quote of the day If anyone can say 'go back,' it's Native Americans. My Pueblo ancestors, despite being targeted at every juncture - despite facing famine and drought - still inhabit this country today. But indigenous people aren't asking anyone to go back to where they came from. Deb Haaland

Russia declined the offer of the 60-day ceasefire. Liar Peskov claimed Russia does not want "a ceasefire; we want long-term peace." He added that Russia is ready to have a ceasefire for the one election day. NOTHING in Russia's actions or claims points to them wanting peace.

New Brunswick’s average domestic undergrad tuition fees ⬆️ 5.0% last year to $11,248 – second highest in the country. The 10 year ⬆️ was 54.9% (provincial inflation ⬆️ 33.2%). All Canadians deserve access to education - tell the government to invest in public colleges and universities.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
