Oh I think we should go further and say the government must provide a no profit version off all All human rights, food, water, power housing and healthcare should be not for profit
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
It's the Sex T Rex D&D improv season finale in Toronto, y'all.
This is relevant to a lot of undesired situations, including everything from manufacturing consent to creating artificial demand. Well, "undesired" based on whether you're a person who has to live in the world as compared to a special interest.

I'm very tired because for the last hour I have been walking up and down the middle of the (downtown Toronto) road with my dog because I saw coyote mama and baby crossing and mama made it but baby hid in the bushes AND NO CAR WILL RUN OVER COYOTE BABY ON MY WATCH.
That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...
Google Earth’s New AI Lets Anyone Fabricate Completely Bullshit Satellite Images
"Tonight I typed just one sentence into Google Earth and put refugees near the Mexican border. Then I planted a nuclear plant in Iran. Then I put a fatal crash on a street in Amsterdam."

Criminy, what is the problem this tool addresses?
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
NYT reporters Jason Horowitz and Carlos Barragán are in Ceuta and have spoken to several Moroccans who say they were encouraged to cross by Moroccan authorities www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...
¿Necesitamos un recordatorio de lo que hizo el PP en la Dana de Valencia? La sociedad civil donó por valor de más de diez millones de euros en cuentas oficiales de la Generalitat en pocas semanas. Un año después del desastre no habían movilizado ni el 10% de los fondos. No les deis ni un euro.
Asociación de ideas...
yo lo que quiero saber es quién es la oposición de Ayuso y si van a proponer quitarle este ático privadísimo adquirido con dinero público.
Esto aumenta por momentos ...
Estoy en contra de las reuniones como concepto, imagina de comprar un ático para reunirse.
Senyora solo objetos de valor no aceptamos pinwinos
Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??
🤬🤬
New from 404 Media: a company is selling tons of old books specifically to AI companies and says they have a strong NDA to never reveal which AI company bought all of the books. They don't want headlines of 'we scanned and destroyed millions of books for AI' www.404media.co/ai-companies...
Squished in the middle of this story was this heartbreaking paragraph. Unconscionable.
A lot of what-the-hell moments in this story, but building a data center in a floodplain in Louisiana is inviting the wrath of Poseidon.
I'm so sorry to learn of the death of Ronnie Le Drew, a kind and lovely man, dedicated to the art of puppetry. My husband worked with Ronny on his very first puppet show at the Little Angel Theatre in 1990s, and on other projects since. He will be deeply missed. www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/j...

Same, we just bought a new plug-in hybrid and the cost of our daily trips have gone to 0 (as it's less than 50 km) and the road trip from Toronto to Halifax and back was CAD 500. Insurance has gone up a little (CAD30/month) but that's because our previous car was a 2007 Nissan Rogue with no options.
I've put 10k miles on my new hybrid (no plug-in required, self-charging battery), and some napkin math shows I've saved something like $1,500 on gas compared to my previous car over that span. even agnostic of the environmental benefits, there's no reason not to try a hybrid or electric.
Our latest report “Erasing anything Palestinian: Israel's ethnic cleansing of West Bank Bedouin and herding communities” exposes the scale of Israel’s campaign of ethnic cleansing & unlawful annexation in the occupied West Bank. This is what state-led ethnic cleansing look like. Read for yourself:
Acceleration of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians must spur global action to halt West Bank annexation
Amnesty's new report exposes Israel's state-led policy of ethnic cleansing in the Occupied West Bank.

House of the Dragon S03E06 didn't show any dragons NOR CATS (😤) and truly read like show-exclusive misogynistic propaganda (Jeyne Arryn's slap scene, Rhaenyra's truly demented decisions) but it gave us the most hilarious failed assassination scene of recent TV so there's that.
My three countries are on fire. The camp where I went as a kid next to Madrid is ashes, my in-laws had to evacuate their home next to Bordeaux and the Northern Ontario fires are still burning. I want all climate change deniers and Big Oil defenders in the front lines of the flames.
My second hot take is that if the US gets out of this one they should replace each of their flag's staffs with the emoji that best represents their state.
My hot take is that if your country or party has a flag with one or many stars as the main character (Sun included), your country is 1.5 elections (if you are lucky to have them) away from freaky fascism. This, I've suspected since we learned about Akhenaten and his sun cult in high school.

More than the movies or books, the audio drama feels like it's pulling from Asimov's Foundation; specifically, listening to it feels like wandering into a 10,000-year story at an arbitrary point and suddenly getting swept up in the flow of history
I really cannot reiterate enough how absolutely solid gold this audio drama of Star Wars is. Everything about the story has been expanded and enriched, so that it feels like you're diving into a really dense sci fi novel. Fans of Andor, in particular, will love it. youtu.be/0-29uKdckL4?...
