Why are we so politically divided?

Is it because incredibly rich powerful corrupt entities operate easier when our attention isn't on their activities, so they spend vast resources to contrive outrage and direct our focus onto pointless culture wars?

Or is it because trans immigrants are too woke?

My family refers to all similar relations as “cousins”…because going down the “second cousin, first removed” bit is just too much, but absolutely acknowledge in many cultures “auntie” is used to mean older female kin…it’s a distinction without a difference, not a gotcha moment for the press.

I like Jared’s term “Sky Lounge” (to go with the Sky Palace, the Sky Box….)

It’s OK everyone. Danielle is going to fix education like she is fixing healthcare! There will be a report from a task force that Preston Manning will lead and she’s already written most of it for him! #ableg

I should mention that former UCP member, Hon. Pete Guthrie and Mr. Scott Sinclair are voting with opposition because artificially limiting debate for the benefit of the government is NEVER acceptable. Peter Lougheed did this zero times because he was asking Albertans to trust him.

And they did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most worst hurricanes on record for Jamaica...and it's a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall.

If you know any there, please make sure they’re prepared 🙏

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Generative AI is a societal disaster

Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society

Trump is posting on Truth Social that he's terminating negotiations with Canada over a "fake" ad criticizing tariffs (that was run by Ontario, and which isn't fake.)

It's all theatre. There was never a deal to be gotten. Trump just wants to claim victory. #giftlink www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

But here’s the deal: There’s no deal to be had.

Behind the glad-handing and theatrics, Trump doesn’t even know what he wants. He has found his preferred tool in achieving his grandiose goals — ending the drug crisis, eliminating America’s trade deficits, reviving American manufacturing — and it is tariffs. Don’t like those demands? Don’t worry, he has others: A place to send the people he’s deporting, free capital to invest in American manufacturing, or unrivaled access to rare earth minerals. Exactly what Canada is supposed to do to escape tariffs remains murky as ever.

We’re not the only ones. Trump’s conspiratorial trade adviser Peter Navarro once promised to sign “90 deals in 90 days.” The administration’s biggest deal has been with China — and it’s a loser. The deal reduces, but doesn’t drop, American tariffs on China in exchange for more critical minerals from Beijing. This is Trump’s version of a win-win: He gets concessions, but gets to keep the tariffs.

Trump is having a tariff meltdown on Truth Social this morning

CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!!They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY. Canada is trying to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court in one of the most important rulings in the history of our Country. Canada has long cheated on Tariffs, charging our farmers as much as 400%. Now they, and other countries, can’t take advantage of the U.S. any longer. Thank you to the Ronald Reagan Foundation for exposing this FRAUD. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

THE UNITED STATES IS WEALTHY, POWERFUL, AND NATIONALLY SECURE AGAIN, ALL BECAUSE OF TARIFFS! THE MOST IMPORTANT CASE EVER IS IN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

THE STOCK MARKET IS STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE BECAUSE OF TARIFFS!

Newflash…that relationship has been in turmoil for nearly a year since he started with the 51st state crap. Your president is a menace to your country and any good image remaining of the USA. Keep carrying water for him and wait for him to boil you in it.
