Something exciting could be happening in Canadian politics. Yes, really. In response to a Trump-supporting CEO’s anti-worker moves, progressive politicians are calling for an American-owned steel company, Stelco, to be nationalized. This could be a VERY interesting development:

Right so the war against social science. Yes it’s ideological. It’s also a termination letter from the state saying it no longer needs legitimation. that’s the public crisis — ask yourself why it doesn’t need legitimacy.

How could another vehicle be hit in such a crowded place with so many witnesses, and yet... nothing, not a peep by every reporter who immediately went with the police narrative without hesitation that the driver had a "medical emergency". Even if he did, warrants further investigation, no?

Police: "This work includes examining the movements of the involved vehicle on the Tsawwassen Mills property before the pedestrians were struck, including an earlier collision." 👀 There's no mainstream media account of this earlier collision, yet they all went with the "medical emergency" narrative

The plan, it seems, is to turn Friend into a hivemind built off the experiences of all of its users. Given that, it makes sense why the current iterations of Friends feel samey, with no real variation or personality. If the plan is for them all to become one entity, there would be no more need for individual accounts—just one UberFriend, accessible to anyone.
