Just north of there, technically.
CNN: “250+ news outlets from over 70 countries will simultaneously black out their front pages and website homepages, and interrupt their broadcasting to condemn the murder of journalists by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/m...
Nate Silver's whole deal is that he accurately called a coinflip 20 years ago and, as a result, we will never be rid of him.

Just another fizzled thunderstorm. Not like the one from 2 weeks ago.

Rudy Giuliani seriously injured in car crash after being flagged down by terrified woman I’m skeptical about this story about Rudy stopping to help someone out. 🤔 saying, "Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence prior to the accident."
Because you leaped over the obvious bit that the racist trans people are also transphobic.
keir starmer is so transphobic bcos he’s so racist. you never get one without the other.
Isn't it lovely how Keir Starmer has united the nation in thinking he's a twat.
There's a reason that the people who complain that Bluesky isn't welcoming never explicitly say WHO isn't being welcomed. Who should we be nicer too? Be specific about the kind of people you want here. I'd've quote posted this. But he turned replies and quotes off. Making me feel very unwelcome.

An important update from Francesca Albanese, special UN Rapporteur on Palestine. The flotilla fully complies with International Law. Any attempt to violate the flotilla’s mission is a violation of International Law which @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu has said she will uphold. Empty words, Ursula?
New video interview with Greta Thunberg from AJPlus just released. She is in Barcelona, about to set sail with hundreds of people from 44 countries on dozens and dozens of boats and ships to take humanitarian aid to the millions of people in Gaza facing extermination at the hands of Israel.
New interview with Greta Thunberg in Barcelona yesterday by Middle East Eye. The climate activist and arguably the leading humanitarian voice of our age is about to set sail along with dozens of ships from dozens of nations to bring urgent food and medical aid to millions of people in Gaza
Planning my commuter this year, bus times have gotten worse despite @bctransit.com claiming they've improved services. Look at the driving time - 35 minutes in the car vs 90 minutes by transit. That is beyond unacceptable. That is three hours a day, fifteen hours a week of unpaid working time.

The GPL philosophy of morally-necessary open source (in particular) is an artifact of comfortable, individual developer/users. It’s looking increasingly difficult to sustain in a world where software businesses aren’t sloshing in easy money.

A U.S. federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deporting migrant Guatemalan children. Video recorded by local television station KVEO showed Guatemalan children deplaning in Texas, and being driven away on buses. MSNBC’s Vaughn Hillyard has the latest.
Playdough tastes a lot how it smells.
Stoking the BS flames.
Stealing the work of others, not giving credit to those who did the work, not PAYING for the rights to use the work of others is deeply fucked up, not AT ALL the way to “save the country”, ffs. And to those who do the reporting, take the photos, it ain’t petty shit.
Authoritarianism thrives when people refuse to apply a moral code to their own side
And Canadians are not coming back while Republicans are in charge.

And that's assuming that the technology can do the work of a junior at the quality of a junior. If it can't, that only speeds up the destruction because now seniors have to babysit the sabotage machine, reducing the amount of senior-level work getting done. Gen AI can't do junior work.
This morning 9 former CDC Directors, whose tenures date back to 1977, published this warning in the NYT: RFK Jr is a danger to public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
Of course not. Canada is even worse at consumer protection than the US www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

They want to drag us back to the dark ages. Do not comply. Vaccines are still one of the crowning achievements of American science. "Trump’s creepy consigliere, Stephen Miller, told reporters that Kennedy is 'a crown jewel of this administration.'” Poppycock! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

It's worse than that. America had a democracy with a functioning 4th estate in the 1960s. The States are going to put anyone not white into concentration camps, it's already happening.
Maybe Americans aren't the brightest people anymore; they trust a brain worm with vaccine and public health policy. It's like trusting a pedophile and a rapist with running a country more than half full of women and children.
That was the halfway point. End was 32.5km in total. I wish I'd fully charged my battery, I had to pedal the last 4km with very little assistance from the motor.

Typo?
We had to take Broad to task not once, but twice, at #RealClimate, for promoting climate science misinformation on the pages of the New York Times: www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar... www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...
Late is the hour in which both William Broad and the New York Times (www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...) express concern over the Trump administration's promotion of antiscience: 🧵
RFK Jr. is not a vaccine skeptic. He's a vaccine denier whose anti-science extremist views and actions are destroying one of humanity's greatest scientific achievements. He's going to kill a lot of people, and those deaths are on the 52 Republican senators who confirmed him and those enabling him.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany staged the Gleiwitz incident. After accusing Poland of ethnic cleansing against his countrymen, Hitler staged a false flag to justify invasion & genocide. Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....
Deaths averted by vaccination since the 1970’s

The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

It certainly sounds like Patriot Act II forced through following 9/11 by W. Bush. Carney promised to align provinces with each other, not with any States.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Without it even stopping Trump's illegal tariffs, there's no upside to a bill like this.
🇨🇦 #Canadasky please share 📌 Parliament is going to return soon and one of the first bills it is going to pass is Bill C2, which will give the police unprecedented powers over the lives of Canadians, including massive surveillance, and the ability to share our data with 🇺🇸.
RFK Jr doesn’t want to protect health. He wants to demonize science that could cure and prevent infectious diseases, cancers, and even autoimmune disorders. 4/

Holy hell. The so called American hero Sheriff from the Walking Tall movies and shows murdered his wife.
This is so wrong. The idea of a manicured lawn is a relic from the 50's. More people need to stop with the fertizlers and mowing and plant native and bee friendly gardens.
And turns out they were correct, he was at death's door a couple months later and tried to defeat Medicade in a TV debate. Big problem is his political rival is far worse.
When did they post that?
I hope the anti-constitutional laws against gardening are forced to change everywhere. It wouldn't be hard to make it only a requirement that the yard be tended, as in used by humans in the last 30 days, so abandoned yards with only grass and weeds could still be mowed by the municipality.

“50% parking lots, eh? That can’t possibly be right. Here, let me pull up a satellite image, and… fuck me sideways!”
Every school should have solar panels installed. Every classroom should have a circulating HEPA filter installed.
What is this costing us? Not just financially, but in lost learning hours? Let's not forget this government made truancy a pillar of their campaign. & they want district councils to patrol the streets looking for schoolkids? But putting a Corsi-Rosenthal box in each room isn't doable, right. #nzpol

TLDR - the dissenting view is that the tariffs don't have to be *on* the alleged illicit drugs, they just have to be motivated by them. Also the dissenting view is totally uninterested in whether Canada is a source of fentanyl or human trafficking. They are ready to take that a face value.
Oh no, people think I'm his actual assistant and I've officially been compared to Eva Braun, so that's new and fun
Remembering back in '07 going before local council to defend our wild patch. We compromised in the end, agreeing to keep the front half relatively low, like a foot or less. Then we built a winding walk path with mini golf features for the fun of it. The back had 7 foot weeds. Monsters. lol
Even as civilization crumbles under creeping fascism, we can continue to trust municipal councils to uphold lawn standards. Priorities matter!
