It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

Aside from the fact that Chris Bishop is a pile of malevolent dung in a suit, I refuse to have three white men called Chris in a row as PM, it's absolutely intolerable #nzpol

I honestly feel bad for people who don’t get to experience the possibility that a leader will get so unpopular his own party turns on him, has a meeting, and picks a new prime minister. Canada could do this. But we got all “peace, order and good government” and don’t any more. But it’s glorious.

Chris Bishop has narrowly emerged as the public’s preferred successor to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, as nearly half of voters say the National Party should replace its leader before the next election.

The latest The Post/Freshwater Strategy poll with Infrastructure New Zealand shows 49% of voters think National should change leader, compared with 38% who believe Luxon should stay. Another 12% are unsure.

Even among National supporters, nearly one in four (23%) want a change at the top.

Among possible replacements, infrastructure and transport minister Bishop leads clearly with 16% support, followed by education minister Erica Stanford (12%), finance minister Nicola Willis (11%), and health minister Simeon Brown (8%).

Around four in 10 voters (37%) are unsure who should take over.

This article is heart breaking and so so striking. Journalists, pay attention: the way to do good journalism on marginalized communities is to (WAIT FOR IT) actually talk to members of those communities.

A few years ago the Australian BoM had to come up with a a new colour to reflect places that were hotter than the old colour ranges, we need to do that for “how fucked is Quebec under the CAQ” and language. Because “cooked” or “fucké plus que tu peut imaginer” don’t feel like they cover it.

I reckon both a deserving of hatred, but that's one of our particular skills in Canada: rubbing down the edges, so you're kind of like "Cartier? Cabot? Meh"

There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media.

Screenshot of a Facebook post. Photo is an elderly woman holding a child on her ap on a couch with flood water around them. Both are wearing jackets inside. Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

That is, sadly, about what I think. I mean, Canada has a lot of myths about it, but that one for the USA seems a) super simple to disprove and b) so very foundational that it's hard to convince anyone of.
