Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to launch a witch hunt against Canada's public health heroes - just like MAGA is doing with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Poilievre offers nothing to Canadians except warmed over crap from the American extreme right.

They’ve cast a bad spell over you, just as they have over their own community and followers, and you keep empowering it, just as they do, by taking it as the assumed grounds for reality and the primary object of attention—even when you are disagreeing with it.

This is an empty complaint, but I don’t think it’s good for our ongoing rout in the culture war that for so many people what they talk about every day is entirely defined by the debate framing, or even that there is a debate, of far right and billionaire owned media and fascist figureheads.

I just watched Dingomaro, a documentary about Afro-Iranians and the rich musical culture, dance, and vibrant spirit of Bandar Abbas and Hormozgan Province. It is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures in life, the kind we could all use a little more of.

Google has launched a new feature allowing Google Earth users to generate AI visualizations on top of the service's satellite imagery. The implications for disinformation could be huge -- fake renderings of blast craters in war zones, migrant camps approaching borders, etc...

It is tragic watching Ukraine backers getting completely played by Loomer and Trump. She will say whatever she needs to to get paid while he laughs and gives Ukraine nothing of value and continues to help Putin. Nothing has materially changed in the last weeks--nothing.
