My mom said this when we spoke on Tuesday.
Why have I not heard of this place in the Middle East called Cutter, I think to myself <in American English> while listening to the news as I make coffee.
The Trump Administration keeps throwing new arguments at the wall to see what might stick--but each one is worse than the last.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
No, that's ok, I understand your frustration.
I am not a Canadian citizen and therefore didn't vote for Carney, if that's what you mean. I'm farther left ideologically than the Liberal Party.

As described this is one of the two giant hands made of round planar rainbow striped planes, emerging from Woodbine beach as part of the Winter Stations public art exhibition. This image is cropped so you mainly see fingers and sky.

We finally got at chance to go see the Winter Stations on Woodbine Beach. There were only four this year. First up is ‘Embrace’ by Will Cuthbert. The two giant rainbow stripes hands made of irregular round planar shapes, emerging from the beach and cupping the lifeguard station were very effective.🧵
What gives me special insight is that I’m a Military Sexual Assault survivor, and that I was in that documentary about it that he made fun of
Hmm. I worry he’s attracted to sociopaths, hopefully won't end up dead.

I agree with you, this is really bad: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
Well, it might easily have been Poilievre, and if Canada doesn't learn anything from what has happened in the US the far right will take over here too. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Wow. 🎶 One of these people is not like the others 🎵
Of course, they don't have a plan for their illegal insurgencies, they are totally incompetent. And also, the US is actually one of the largest state sponsors of terrorism but Graham has never been bothered by hypocrisy.
Insofar as anyone is willing to constrain the current executive branch it seems like both Anthropic and Open
AI have some redlines.
Can't sleep, perhaps endless doomscrolling will help.
I'm trying not to use any Meta apps/sites
Yep!
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
Wow, that is heinous.
I thought all humans were inherently worthy of respect. But I see what you mean.
