If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Budgets reveal values. Mark Carney's budget demands sacrifices from working families—by slashing services and cutting frontline jobs—while giving the ultra-wealthy a tax break on luxury yachts and private jets. What value(s) does that represent?

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons.

That might be his biggest commonality with Obama, who also was a regular guy, but a President being black drove the right insane. Difference now might be that the right is starting from a place that is way more openly insane
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s so normal and so many people are so weird about him. And it becomes really hard to miss the fact it’s mostly because he’s Muslim

This is exactly how I feel, not only should we keep the empty homes tax, but we should enforce it even more aggressively
The Carney Liberals want to remove the Empty Homes Tax - a measure aimed at investors to encourage them to put their units into the housing supply.
During a housing crisis, people need more homes, not a gift to investors to keep them empty.

A vacationing couple has scored big with a court ordering Air Transat pay them $7,000 for denying boarding for no reason. Advocates say the judgment is an endorsement of recording interactions with airline staff (which is perfectly legal): donotpassgo.substack.com/p/court-hits...
Court hits Air Transat with $7,000 for denying boarding to a vacationing couple
The decision, which hinged on recorded video of "egregious" and "terrible" customer service, hailed as a major victory for passenger rights

Given how much vitriol Charlie's spouted over the years, I think some of the schadenfreude is probably deserved. What's completely unsurprising is the death threats from the Freeze Peach crowd.
There's a website tracking names, locations, social media language from people posting about Kirk's death. Such doxxing is dangerous always & esp targeting ppl for their protected speech, even when it condemns violence & Kirk's killing while questioning his messaging. www.wired.com/story/right-...
