5 yrs after the start of the worst health crisis in memory, there is a national conversation waiting to be had about the roles of the individual, society and the state in such a crisis. What is my responsibility to myself and to my community, and what is the responsibility of the state towards us?

You'll find some surprising connections between the WHO, Oxford University, the Trump Administration, and the far right.

"A swath of requests for electricity from proposed data centres is in front of the Alberta Electric System Operator, which plans and manages the province’s grid. They are asking them to be connected to more than 20,000 MWs of electricity – roughly enough to power another Alberta, and then some."

Trump just posted an AI slop video of himself dumping shit on protestors from a fighter jet while wearing a crown, just in case you were wondering how today’s events impacted his mental health situation.

They’re losing. They’ve already lost. He will get a lot more weird and aggro from here on out.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.
