You are a courageous person. I hope the police will charge and stop the actions of these people. Not that that is enough. Kind regards to you for your work.

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that itโ€™s not become a question of โ€œshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?โ€ but โ€œto what extent?โ€

Saskatoon will need a compromise to improve safety on Millar Avenue, stakeholders say | CBC News North Saskatoon Business Association executive director Keith Moen and Warrick Baijius, who represents pedestrian advocacy group Walking Saskatoon, discussed the issues in a sit-down interview with CB...

This is not an accurate framing of the Millar/51st conversation.

The only thing that stands to be compromised here is safety itself.

If business is "all about safety" they should support the changes without reservation.

Isn't the dude on the right, the dude who asked a Singaporean citizen repeatedly if he was a Chinese citizen in viral video?
Perhaps ask if he can point to Iran on a map and if he is a Ignoramistan citizen.

Everytime there's another war,
I think of my one surviving cousin family in the Rhineland- he born in 1942; of my Belgian % Dutch relatives, 100% wiped out 1914-17 (none left); that we keep doing this to each other. Humans create such horrid nightmares.
Soldiers- never thank-yous for your service.

Iran lost more than 500,000 people in the Iran-Iraq War, 1980-1988. Iran has an history as a people at least 3000 years old.
Identity and experience. It probably means quite a bit when under attack.

When in doubt on Bluesky, light humour in responses you don't have to make is advised. Blueskyers are an erudite bunch who discuss serious things, but don't take themselves too too seriously.

How the US is repeating historic mistakes in war with Iran What would Carl von Clausewitz or Sun Tzu say about the US-Israel war in Iran? Historian Hew Strachan breaks down what history tells us about the risk of uncontrolled escalation.

Lose-lose.
USA repeats historic mistakes in Iran war: USA doesn't have the will to sustain this for years, superior power doesn't mean they control it, if the regime collapses the ppl won't accept USA- imposed gov't, Iran wants to expand the war- USA can't limit it.

I've generally found cycling in snow and ice feels safer exactly because car drivers are frightened.
This has led me to thinking that road design should always keep drivers on edge for the safety & not-being-terrified of others on roads. Or complete, separated, connected active transportation lanes.

The Mess They Made (Revised Edition) by Gwynne Dyer | Penguin Random House Canada For readers of Dyer's earlier books on the Middle East and for the multitudinous critics of Bush's policies in Iraq

What the USA did the last time. "The Mess They Made" (2009) in Iraq led to ISIS, defeat of the Americans in Afghanistan & hatred for them throughout the region. This Trump war against Iran will lead to another mess. Hell is going to full.
