Feds investing 2.7 billion to build 18 new housing projects in Toronto. Promises shovels in the ground on 4500 homes by end of year. PM inadvertently says "City of Ontario" (before catching self).

Despite all the meme jokes about transporters killing you and sending off your clone to finish your mission, that's not really how the transporters on Star Trek work: They convert your matter into energy and then *transmit* that *same* energy to a location to be reassembled as matter.

irrationally angry at how stupid everyone is in a clip from the episode with the two rikers. “their dna is the same, how can this be???” I don’t know, they just described the same teleporter incident? have you thought *at all* about the evil tech you use every day???

There was just a locally acquired case of dengue fever reported in Virginia, USA. The climate is becoming more suitable, the compatible mosquito species (Aedes) is already there, and we’ll likely see more cases across a wider area. Link: tinyurl.com/2pu4xrc5

This seems like very good #OTrain news...?

Trump seeks to shield his business finances from BBC in libel lawsuit

As the laundering of Starmer’s PM-ship is starting, this is what I see as his legacy. Not just a failure to stand up to racism and ethno-nationalism but active pandering, hoping for increased vote share. Zero principles, zero values, zero spine. No 195-point list will make this stain go away.

If you're not terminally online, you might not recognize VDARE, but trust me: VDARE is blatant, overt, not even remotely hiding it white supremacist stuff.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 4h ago

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

For MAGA, violence is a feature not a bug. Always.

FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

Mike Lee's ambition is to be a Thought Police officer.

404 Media@404media.co · yesterday

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

A repeating pattern around "purity tests"/"you force people further right" is that they're never specific. When that rhetoric spouts off, they never have a concrete example, and as people point out things like "I’m not going to support an anti-trans candidate" they can then say, "I don’t mean that!"

Seriously…

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.
