A new international study sheds light on why the 55-and-older set tends to share more fake news on social media—and what can be done about it.

My laptop's USB-C PD charger died. I am awaiting delivery of a new one. In the meantime it's happily running through a small inverter attached to a snowblower battery But snow is in the forecast. I may have to switch to the hedge trimmer.

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Of course police want warrantless access powers. Of course they want to violate privacy rights on a whim. That doesn't mean you need to give it to them. Make them get a warrant, like the Supreme Court of Canada has *twice* ruled.

There is currently a petition to the House of Commons asking the government to draft legislation that would make it so MP's could not lie and spread misinformation/disinformation.

Here's the chart extended to April 2025, carbon price change on left, trailing year/year inflation on right, zeroes of both axes aligned (to preserve comparison to the previous chart). Inflation slowed when the carbon price was introduced, peaked when increases were smaller. /3

Poilievre is promoting “100 days of change” if he’s elected. Trump is nearly at 100 days and look at what he’s done. Pierre’s promise to quick march his far right changes is driving me even further away, if that’s even possible. Don’t give him the keys to power. #canpoli #cdnpoli
