Very proud to be a Canadian right now.
It’s actually not technically a leak. CBS News only operates in the US. A non-PSKY owned network Global TV has Canadian rights for 60 Minutes and aired it unedited since the call to pull the episode was made so late in the day. That broadcast was recorded and then shared across the internet.

So he’s sending a deep South governor to the polar North, tasked with annexing the sovereign territory of a NATO ally. While still serving as Louisiana’s governor.

Surely nothing could go wrong.

Denmark’s foreign minister said Monday he was “deeply upset” by US President Donald Trump’s appointment of a special envoy to Greenland who declared that he wished to see the island become part of the United States. https://cnn.it/4p5V7E4

Okay, I’m missing something here — what is the connection between an unfinished PhD program the candidate left in 2001, and a mass shooting 25 years later?
Press conference on Brown University shooting:
—Suspect is Claudio Nevis Valenti, 48-year-old man, Brown Univ student, Portuguese national. Last known address in Miami. Took his own life tonight.

Thank you, Rachel!

The wooshing sound you hear is Poilievre’s political future going down the proverbial crapper. Not too thrilled that Carney is drawing on the Cons, but whatever works!
BREAKING: Conservative MP Michael Ma is crossing the floor to sit as a Liberal.

Liberals are now just one seat short of a majority.

One big effect of AI hype and promotion of unreliable chatbots is that a significant amount of additional friction and labour is being injected into our knowledge-making and -maintaining systems. At a time when these systems are already contracting and being starved by growing austerity.

Surely there’s a court case in there somewhere? Not only is the hijacker making money off of the reputation of the original band, but he is smearing that reputation, assuming that the original members would not be happy playing for the Yeti?
Fake Village People. That guy left the band in 1980 and in 2017 legally wrangled the name from the group that had toured with it for 40 years and put all new people into the costumes. The REAL group continued to tour as The Kings of Disco (side-tagged: "ft. former members of Village People").

I’m convinced that FIFA used AI to come up with the design and that AI simply plagiarized the thing.

Occam’s razor.
But OF COURSE that ego fluffing "Peace Prize" given to the demented US President by FIFA is a design stolen from a sculpture donated to the UN in Geneva from Azerbaijan back in 2017.

Assholes.

Blessed be the Poles.
In response to Musk calling to “abolish” the European Union, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski, wrote in Musk’s replies on X: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

The USA is prepared to assist Russia to destroy Europe in order to “save it from itself”. The EU is clearly a major threat to the project of destroying democracy — mostly because it’s big enough to fight back.
Worth reading these extreme and noxious words in full:

This, plus the Alberta Republican referendum. Alberta is polling at 15% voting to separate, Quebec is polling 35% in favour of separation. Good luck, Bonne chance et Fuck Trump.

I’ve wondered about this for a while. Between eliminating vaccination and most forms of public health, and actively deporting all immigrants, children of immigrants and naturalized citizens, they really do seem to want to reduce the population of the USA between a half and a third. 1/2
Claims without data. The "leadership" of the HHS, FDA, and CDC are lying. They are trying to cull Americans – including children, en masse.
Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

That's not how peace agreements work. Getting something on a promise of payment and then not paying is, however, exactly how Donald Trump works. Ukraine and European NATO/the EU would be extremely foolish to fall for this. kyivindependent.com/us-to-discus...

Putin is the Hyacinth Bucket of great power leaders: it's all about keeping up appearances. Russia's a great power only to the extent that it can persuade others it is, because there's very little material basis for its pretensions to great power status. That's why Trump's deference is so important.
