The worst part is that there are some good ideas in that ad! However, it hits this weird uncanny valley that it just can't climb out of. (How many inclined bridges do you find in Amsterdam?)
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

If a vacancy comes up and Democrats have any sort of power, they should simply refuse to seat any Trump nominees. After McConnell's bullshit, it should be a clear expectation that Democrats shouldn't play ball again.

Central Bucks School District is considering removing 60 more books from its libraries
The district will review a total of 65 books for “inappropriate” and “sexualized content.” All of the books show up on a book reporting site used by Moms for Liberty.

I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt that he's playing 3D chess while Smith is eating the checkers, but the Carney government is not really one I feel I can buy into anymore.
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Honestly, Hoekstra is just such a dreadful piece of shit that he's not worth anyone's time. He just shouldn't be invited to things like this where he can shoot his damn fool mouth off.
US Ambassador to Canada: But let me tell you, I go around the country and people will say, “Pete, you just don’t understand why we’re so mad about the 51st state.” And it’s kind of like, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t.

As bad as Seattle City Council is, I don't think they'd pass a budget this fundamentally irresponsible. (And that's saying something given how they pushed a huge mess forward a year for Mayor-elect Wilson to clean up.)
Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.
Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.
Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.
Full story to come.

I totally agree. I think if he was eligible to be President (unfortunately he can't since he's a naturalized citizen), people would now believe he'd be the one to beat in '32 or '36.

These paper cuts are adding up to a situation where the US just turns into an unlivable deregulated customs and military union with big dashed of Christian and corporate fascism sprinkled in.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

What's important to Thiel is that Vance is just an empty suit. He's shockingly nihilist and uninspiring, and the only reason why he was able to build any kind of career was that he capitalized on the suffering of rural America.
JD Vance was hand selected by Jeffrey Epstein's collaborator Peter Thiel, he's a replacement part incase Donald Trump doesn't make it his full term. Not a real politician or serious person, just a stand in for a South African billionaire and an Israeli-Russian pedo network.

I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Honestly, fuck these people. The party has been consistently groveling to never-Trumpers regardless of their politics, and it feels like they've resorted to a lot of mealy-mouthed platitudes to justify it. Simply "standing up for the Constitution" doesn't get shit done.
