Maybe.
Whomever made that was awfully generous in the pants.
Hard to get a read on you guys... On one hand it appears you see the problem with what Trump's up to with the invasion of American cities, but on the other hand the Institute just played a key role in Trump's spread of climate-change disinfo with DOE's Climate Working Group report...
Sure, this is reality-based BlueSky and not pro-Nazi Twitter, but 29 followers? Oof...
The U.S. Government is led by anti-science loonies.
With his influence over Vance it would become a Thiel presidency.
A fine tribute.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org
That look on Vance's face kinda says it all - the countdown is on...
Has anyone thought that Kennedy's appointment, the reduction of aid - foreign and domestic - and elimination of safety standards is because they want what Thiel wants - large numbers of 'lower quality people' to die?
Trump's appeal is if one is willing to play to his narcissism, he'll make sure they enjoy political power and make money. Many of them are already positioning themselves for a Vance presidency. They've had it good with Trump and want those good times to continue.
Calm, kind and smart cows are the best kind.
The Venezuelans returned are intended to die there so that they don't try to come back. If you're not white, wealthy, and willing to do whatever he demands your life is of no value.
🤣🤣🤣
The puppeteers are the real threat because there are so very many of them. Unlike Trump, who sticks out like a sore thumb, they blend into the background and will prop-up anyone.
He may be ignorant, but the fact that he always knows exactly what to say to whip MAGA into another frenzy tells me he's stupid like a fox.
This is what actually happened. Who are the people who believe otherwise, and why?
Did he eat him?
Certainly on the inside.
Unemployment among Black people has reached the highest level since 2021: “I am in the fight of my life.”
This news is exactly what MAGA were counting on - no job means no housing which means no food which means no life.
Submariners are expendable to Hegseth.
MAGA did. They voted for unlimited crimes and no constraints on presidential power.
I'd feel much better if those dim Maple MAGA took just one second to think about what Canada has an abundance of - oil, agriculture, fresh water, lumber, and a functional power grid - and what America desperately needs - oil, agriculture, fresh water, lumber, and a functional power grid...
Trump is terrified of death, and bad people being treated poorly by history. Shame...
They're cool with all the r*ping and financial crimes, but less racism is a bridge too far?
So #Elump won't give the shrinking number of people willing to be seen driving his Naziwagens what they want, but with continue focusing on his half-baked FSD and taxis? Cool... www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...
Hoping these Canadian small businesses are able to weather the storm... This is another reminder that Trump's attacks are not limited to his own citizens, but include the economies and people around the world. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...
The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
She, and the rest of this administration, should be hounded everytime they go shoppping, dine out, and go to the gym. It's social consequence - feeling the public anger at their actions and betrayal of their communities everywhere they go that will stop this. Wear them down.
My God. It's... It's glorious!
I wonder... When Democrats have put together a strategy that resonates and are able to chase MAGA from power, what becomes of them? What they've done, and the hatred they've demonstrated towards those they've deemed weak, scum or possessing 'too much' empathy, can't be forgotten. Then what?
In America, yes. In Canada, where I am, a lot of Alberta's successionist talk is being led and funded by Americans on the right/far-right - just like what's been uncovered in Greenland. They're working to destabilize us to steal our resources & corrupt our politics. MAGA has infected us, too...
Don't get it wrong... The tariffs are only part of the problem. The President threatening to destroy Canada's economy, or take us by force, is the real issue. Company behind Jack Daniel's says Canadian boycott is 'significant' as sales drop 62% | CBC News share.google/hm0Pom0VDbOs...
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Pretty much the best description of AI I've read...
Respect yourself.
Tesla, and the people who have bought them since Eelon let his freak flag fly 3 years ago, are rotten...
Far more so. And there are a lot of 'em.
This is the key. And have conversations with those people on the right you can. You won't change minds immediately, but planting seeds may eventually bring them around.
Huh?
Why are we asking this? Trump was open about eliminating green initiates, bringing back 'clean' coal, getting rid of the oversight and regulations that protect peoples finances & wellbeing, cutting healthcare funding & veterans benefits, & destroying public education. He promised all of it.
MAGA. Explicitly.
Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic. But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.
LOL!

My money is on the 18-wheeler - whichever sickly-sweet, caramel-colored sludge they're hauling...
I know it, and it's maddening.
I sure as hell hope so, and I'd welcome some of that mobilizing and strategic voting in Ontario, too...
True, but it is where most of the people are, and in many cases it's the large cities that steer the discourse - just like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver do. They're not the only opinions that matter, but they tend to matter more than others.
But when the province's most populous city still serves as a strong base for the UCP what other Albertans think doesn't really matter.
The same reason Kentuckians can't contemplate a world that revolves around clean energy instead of the coal that's killing them.
But, Texas.
Not according to Ipsos. The rot is strong in Calgary - the biggest city... "Demographic Trends: The UCP's broad support was a significant factor, and this support was notably stronger in Calgary, especially among older voters."
J.D. never altered his moral code - he was long a Peter Thiel drone/sycophant, and Thiel has no morality. He just started publicly owning what he's always thought.
J.D. has a point...
Why do they always look like we suspect they do?
Powered by spite.

It works in PUBG: New State. Allegedly.
We've got a different issue in Ontario - apathy. The vast majority of us stay home on election day for Premier. Choosing an actual Liberal to lead the party instead of Doug Ford in a red jacket might help, too... www.tvo.org/article/we-g...
It just doesn't seem the will is there to do that. Yet.
Red states aren't contiguous, so #3 is out of the question, but who knows which of the remaining three may happen...
I'm in Ontario where we helped a lying, dimwitted, former hash dealer, and one-time Trump admirer become premier because people foolishly thought, "Cons have to be better than the Libs, right?". And gifted him 3 elections. If the cavalry is riding-in, it's not coming from Ontario.
No way this will end with Trump. If Trump expires within the next 3 years - and there's a good chance he will - President Vance, who lives, eats, and breathes Project 2025 and takes orders from enemy of humanity Peter Thiel, will dial things up to 11...
A lot of people must be cheering this, but I can't understand why...
Delicious. And they're claiming they're not political - they just want to do business with us. Problem is, of course, that most of those booze-producing states are aggressively MAGA and support the predator who's threatened us and is the reason for the boycott... D'oh.
That's up to Albertans to do, and it doesn't appear that they see a problem.

MAGA will challenge that assertion.
It blows my mind when I hear about municipalities discontinuing their use because too many tickets are being issued... If anything it demonstrates the lack of regard for traffic laws (or perhaps laws in general) in those areas. It's a sign of bigger issues. They absolutely make our streets safer.

This begs the question what is the U.S doing in Canada right now?

The U.S. is not Denmark's friend.
@jordantyranny.bsky.social Definitely pretty, and I'll take your word about messy.
And it seems enough people are comfortable with this price to bother changing anything.
There's a difference between searching-out that information you rightly identify as available, and having the subject coaxed out of people or encouraged by AI. These are two distinctly different situations.
Deaths of the vulnerable, and the lawsuits that follow, seem like a price AI companies are prepared to pay.
He's reached terminal stupidity.
All the lying and madness wouldn't mean a thing if he didn't have an army of enablers willing to be recorded in the history books as enemies of the state in exchange for money and power.
Someone planning on sharing this reasoned assessment with Postmedia so that their papers can figure it out?
I salute this brave man.
Can't for the life of me understand how Trump and MAGA have been able to sell the 'Blue states/cities are crime-ridden hellholes' when its demonstrably red states/cities that are. Why is the pushback not louder/harder?
Doug is a very ignorant, very corrupt, and very ambitious man. There is no more frightening a combination of traits.
Awesome!!
I doubt his health will hold out, but something far scarier is in the wings - a Vance presidency...
D'oh.
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
If you've ever lived in a big AA or AAA hockey town or city you don't even need to ask... It's grim.

The tendency to lack empathy is shared by Cons and Republicans. Some of his hate speech will get through...

I think they're hoping people who need to be taught English will stop coming, and will chase away those who are already here. They're going to lose-out on a lot of talent when they should embrace anyone who wants to learn the language...
