CBC devalues its journalism by becoming no more than a YouTube channel. Now our national broadcaster is turning into AI slop.

This is the enshittification of CBC and Canadian news in general

I interned at New Line and was told Ratner had a staff of young, hot gay men whose main job was to be objects of humiliation for Ratner and stuck around because they were showered with gifts when they threatened to leave.

FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl.

“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD.

It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

Watching the Ken Burns Revolution series and it's great that they acknowledge that the founders were really mad at England preventing them from stealing more indigenous lands but that makes it really weird to play saccharine music while they talk about "liberty."

"People who have money are spending money. I am an economist."
In the aggregate, high-income households are doing great," said Ryan Sweet, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. "They're spending. Predominantly, they're the ones keeping consumer spending afloat."

Trump says he’s withdrawing his endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a “ranting lunatic”
I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

This is a REALLY important story, Canada. The Carney government's push to AI our entire country is going to hurt so many people and cause SO much damage to our communities. The government isn't doing ANYTHING to try and mitigate the harms data centres are going to cause, either.

The only semi-legal thing I've heard this stuff used as payment for is gambling. Convenient for that because minors can gamble.
Nobody thinks there needs to be innovation in paying for legal goods and services.

Instead of protecting Canadians from scams, Mark Carney’s Liberals are planning to develop a framework for stablecoins after crypto billionaires spent big to buy one in the United States.

The government claims it will “benefit men and youth by improving prosperity and good governance.” 🫠

"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..."

China's oil demand is entering structural decline.
