BREAKING: Yemen’s Houthi rebels raise casualty toll from U.S. airstrikes targeting oil port to 38 killed, 102 wounded.
Was not expecting to open the main CBC page this morning and see this! In today’s climate, I feel our message is even more relevant than even just a few months ago when the interview was recorded. www.cbc.ca @christelvaneck.bsky.social @lydiamessling.bsky.social
The Americans are doing to Kseniia what the Russians did to Brittney Griner for having 0.7 grams of cannabis oil. Except no one is coming to negotiate her freedom and Harvard is sitting on their hands. I am so ashamed. Please share this story. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...
NEW: Blue Cross authorized mastectomies & breast reconstructions at one hospital, then refused to pay the full doctors' bills. BUT... The insurer did make some exceptions. On several occasions, Blue Cross execs signed deals to pay for their wives’ treatment. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social
Breaking news: The U.S. Department of Energy today announced it is unilaterally cutting in half the overhead rate on its academic grants, something that a federal judge recently told the National Institutes of Health it could not do.
Speeches by members of the US Congress have shifted away from language such as “logic” and “reason” and toward words such as “suspicion” and “gut" since the 1970s.
why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.
The Senate is considering repealing Section 230, the law that protects platforms from lawsuits over user comments. Without the law, platforms might decide to just block all controversial content. Bluesky without memes and political satire? A law professor explores the implications:
A quick note on Trump's new tariff plan. It's 10 percent across the board, 125 percent (!) on China. What's the effective tariff rate? Well, China was 13 percent of imports in 2024, so you might say .13*125+.87*10 = 24.95. But imports from China will fall, so how do we adjust it? 1/
Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.
lol
Nah, they don't have the mental acuity or the spine.
Okay, wtf is wrong with 45-64 year olds?
No.
Fascism. That's the word you are looking for.
We go by vibes. KKK vibes.
I doubt the sanity of any other country not following suit.
The "powerful media orgs" don't deserve the courtesy. Name them, so we can boycott their asses.
Why? The whole reason for the stupid tariffs is to support the tax cut for the rich isn't it?
The internet never forgets.
Does that mean he doesn't consider his children "people"?
He is annexing Greenland isn't he?
The one thing the trump regime is competent at is shooting America in the face.
So Harper was the OG trump?
Dimitri Soudas, Harper's spokesman, said in an email that the style "is a long-standing practice that accurately reflects the government's leadership, regardless of who is prime minister." --- Double what? I am so confused.
Yet another American child shot and killed by Israel. The US president will meet with the Israeli prime minister in DC today. Not a word will be said about this killing. America First!
A wealth you could lose in a single day.
Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.
Snakes have two tongue tips for the same reason you have two ears
It's a shame that the penguin islands are too small to be seen here.

I need to change that alt text, they just announced I was off by an order of magnitude (it’s over 100k)
A champion of the people.
I think the "canceling out" part is by design. According to this CBC clip, they only published the formula after people have discovered it was just the trade deficit divided by total import from that country. They had to make them cancel out or else the numbers on the charts won't check out.
not enough.
Bluesky's April Fool's prank is adorable, lol.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz I do not like his far right views I do not like his stupid chin I do not like his smarmy grin I do not like him with a beard I do not like him freshly sheared I do not like Ted Cruz at all That man Ted Cruz can suck my balls - a poem by John Oliver

Many efficient! WOW!
The Trump Administration says it wants to eliminate #FEMA. While it has argued for move state control over disaster response, experts say FEMA plays a crucial role in providing specialized personnel and resources. An emergency management and #publichealth expert explains: buff.ly/C2T4bJk
Earth is no longer at risk from asteroid 2024 YR4, but new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope confirm it may yet hit the moon in 2032 - and astronomers cannot wait to see it happen.
Holy crap, there are so many WTF moments in this, the story is wild. Thanks for sharing!
You are a guest in the country, and you should be expecting to be deported if you poo-poo on your dictatorial host.
TIL that the TLD .sk exists.
But having another dictator to shill your product is not embarrassing at all?
Why does the picture look like the Pikachu is chasing the police away?
Trump is a master of kettle logic.
The NIH plans to resume posting notices of new solicitations for grant proposals. But there’s a catch: The HHS and DOGE will review each draft notice to ensure the research that will be funded aligns with the priorities of President Trump’s administration, Science has learned. scim.ag/3DJsafL

Long live the American Empire!
"Sounds about white."
Regimes work differently though.
I like your optimism
They are seriously going for that Christian theocracy aren't they?
If you're a journalist in the US and you're not speaking out against the ongoing killing of Palestinian journalists, at record levels, by a US-funded foreign military, then you should hang your head in shame.
We can leave niceties for YouTube I love this vibe.

"More the reason to dismantle IRS." Said the leader of DOGE, who is definitely not Elno Musk.
Who needs "foreign intelligence agency" when you alone could fuck things up so spectacularly?
A sponge cake left out in the rain would be better than this.
How much oxytocin do you have to be on to make such a leap of faith?
In hindsight, it was kinda stupid to entrust someone with your name, address, credit card information, and your freaking DNA.
Still waiting for someone to tell me the word for "beyond incompetence".
or stupidity.
Do we even have a word to describe something that's beyond incompetence?
Many academics point to bioRxiv as “the one thing improving science publishing”. If so, the one thing you all can do is persuade colleagues to submit and make this a norm. 1/2
What do you mean? MAGA is the embodiment of hypocrisy.
Sadly, I don't even believe " New York Times or a Washington Post link" anymore.
"Democracy Dies in Darkness" even wapo doesn't believe in it anymore.
Between awful and dead relatives and friends, I'd choose awful 100 out of 100 times.
"It's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people" Have you thought of the possibility that the "8 million" figure is a totally bogus number that came out of conservative think tanks' asses?
Is Pete Hegeseth even a person?
Somehow it reminds me of Mercola.
That's not insane at all. It's actually pretty sensible... compared to this dude from Texas that is.
Thank you! That makes so much sense now, lol.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand the reference, could you elaborate a bit more?
When I saw "NEVER", I was expecting Carney to turn to reveal the punchline. It never happened, and the "Canada Strong" slogan came. I was really confused. Until I saw your post, so, thank you! 🥰
Oh, and the person was quoting this post of yours
I believe this was the content of the post. The post address came in the same response from the server, they only hide it on the client side.
“That’s the weird kid I was telling you about” From the new Private Eye, out now.
How does one have un-lived experience?
I mean, did they sign anything?
Our digital times :-)
Insights from the Nature Index show that the boom in research related to affordable and clean energy is not a global trend. https://go.nature.com/4hrWlFX
The fact that they think it's okay to search through someone's phone before letting them in is insane enough.
Plot twist: Superman was going to destroy a supervillain's lair, but someone beat him to it.
