Leave aside for a minute all of the actual White Nationalists and Nazis Republicans have cozied up to (and hired in some cases), can you imagine just combing through hundreds of hours of Joe Rogan to clip some of his most wacko moments for a response on a Sunday show.

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.

Listening to CBC The House, and they're talking to a lot of Americans who are not happy, and blame the politicians in both Washington DC and Ottawa. Frustrating listen. Canada made concessions to get CUSMA signed. We had a deal. We didn't go back on that deal, and we didn't start the trade war.

RIP Bill Dundee, too. An absolutely brilliant and deceptively versatile pro wrestler who was arguably even more brilliant as a booker.

Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee (CWA 12/30/85) I don't know that there's pro wrestling as conceptually interesting and beautifully executed as Bill Dundee working over Lawler's bad eye, staying on his blindside, and picking away with some of the most evil punches ever.

Andy Williams was a good one.

I just loved him in ring. Very sad and just too damn young

If you want a rational conversation about tradeoffs you should start by demanding honesty from the industry that has been lying about this technology since its inception, not to mention one of the common talking points being "You're getting this whether you like it or not"

There is a respectable argument for slowing down AI research, but it rests on the danger to all humanity of the technology being abused or going rogue—not the local harms of data centres

He thinks he is CEO of Canada and "progress" means in business terms, not public services, climate action, or anything but $. "There is a widespread sentiment that this kind of practice is further evidence of the prime minister running government like a CEO". www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

I’ve loved the Internet Archive and Wayback Machine 🥰since before you heard of it… I am here to say that PEOPLE ARE LEANING ON IT TOO DAMN HARD. It ain’t the solution. Stop making breezy claims about what they keep safe. Start figuring out what you can do to stop the erasure of our digital past.

This kind of report should be accompanied by a press conference—not with some low-level bureaucrat, but with the prime minister. Flanked by all of his ministers. In prime time, with technical briefings. This report says we're facing unimaginable disaster, yet we didn't even get a briefing.

Environmental groups say there’s a reason why the federal government quietly released its latest climate report, which finds that average temperatures in Canada are set to go up by at least 3.5 C by the end of the century.

I mean it sounds reductive to say this is why he loves North Korea so much but... is it, really?

Pls support @nationalobserver.com if you can. It's doing really important investigative work. "According to Patrick McCurdy, a researcher at the University of Ottawa, shaping what AI chatbots tell voters is rapidly becoming “the next terrain of influence” in society." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

New investigation from me. The 23 websites are designed to influence the answers that AI chatbots give to voters in Alberta, targeting farmers, young people, veterans, mothers and oil industry workers. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/i...

Foreign interference, MAGA-style. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/i...

A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots

The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

This man is a fucking monster who limped away from Chicago's mayor's office because he'd become unelectable after closing 50 schools and half of our city's publicly funded mental health care clinics, and covering up the fact that Chicago cops murdered a teenager. Stop whitewashing his ass!

Outrageous. He's celebrating it. The role of media is to hold the powerful to account. “Thank God we don’t have the media...No answers, no questions — we’re good to go.” The comment was Ford’s last remark at an event which looked like a news conference, but without reporters in attendance" #OnPoli
