The US effectively endorsing the seperatist movement should basically be a 5 alarm fire. Maybe CSIS should be allowed to get to work.

U.S. COMMERCE SECRETARY LUTNICK SAYS CANADA PM CARNEY WALKED FROM TRADE TALKS FOR POLITICAL REASONS, ADDING THAT HE EXPECTS CANADA TO WANT TO TALK AFTER SEPARATIST VOTES

God help the GOP if "Nazi infiltration of the Republican Party" ever becomes an obsessive media discourse object the same way "antisemitism on the left" has. Even the world's laziest reporter could find three of these guys on every campaign. It'll be shooting gallery.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: The Enchanted Forest will NOT be advancing to the final of the Search for B.C.'s Roadside Attraction, due to hundreds of automated votes from IP addresses with the same pattern in the final 90 minutes of voting. The final will be Barkerville vs. Cathedral Grove. what a world

Text says: "In the final 90 minutes before the close of voting yesterday, there were 85 instances where five or more votes were submitted at the exact same second, at consistent timing intervals, from the same pattern of anonymized IP addresses. In total, 672 votes were submitted this way, and all 672 were submitted for the Enchanted Forest."

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

This AI-heavy account pretends to have worked for the NSA and cybersecurity, yet posted this about the Butcher of Bosnia. I knew people who were in the first wave of peacekeepers. I volunteered with resettled refugees. Bot, paid disruptor, or real person, I don't care: this is disgusting.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

Michael Stahlke @michaelstahlke.bsky.social · last mo.

I know I’m firmly in my cranky middle age because I occasionally feel the need to fire off a sternly worded e-mail, with doctrinal citations.

BG Swain,
I read with great concern an article published in Stars And Stripes this afternoon detailing the dismissal of Professor Kalkstein for teaching climate science to USMA cadets. The accurate description and understanding of battlefield effects, including climatology, is of profound importance for land warfare at all levels.
It is a grave disservice to future officers to suppress, omit or ban the teaching of climate change, which is now and will continue to be a driver of conflict in the United States Army's operational environment. This is a variable that has been recognized in Army doctrine as far back as 2008. Reference FM 3-0 (para 1-7).
Respectfully,
Michael Stahlke

Climate change and natural disasters will compound already difficult conditions in developing coun-tries. They will cause humanitarian crises, driving regionally destabilizing population migrations and raising potential for epidemic diseases. Desertification is occurring at nearly 50-70 thousand square miles per year. Over 15 million people die each year from communicable diseases; these numbers may grow exponentially as urban densities increase. Increased consumption of resources, especially in densely populated areas, will increase air, water, land, and potentially even space pollution. Depletion of resources will also compound this problem. Depletion reduces natural replenishment sources as well as intensifies the effects of natural disasters, having increasingly greater impacts on more densely populated areas.

Hiiii ! This is your Canadian ceramic artist writing! Soooo after this week-end debacle, I just wanted to write a little update about the Canada - USA trade war and how art is actually political. 80% of my work sells to the U.S. and it looks like I just lost my main source of income.

That place is dumb and the people who fetishize it are weird and worthy of contempt. It’s a fucking gas station. Church it up however you want, it’s still a gas station. And it’s shitty to its employees.

Mayor Mamdani's focus on a helmet paints deadly crashes as the failure of vulnerable road users to protect themselves, rather than as the failure of government to stop completely avoidable carnage. buff.ly/0HIM3RQ

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025

Rob Paulsen - Voice Actor

I had the remarkable privilege to work with Tim a few dozen times.
Kind, generous, playful, naughty and a TOTAL pro. A couple years ago, at NY Comic Con, I was in the green room having lunch and Tim
came in in his chair. Of course, I was aware of his stroke, so l walked over knelt down and said, "Tim! It's Rob Paulsen. We
worked together on..." he looked me and said, "I know who you are,
you fucking wanker." It was like a blessing from the Pope. Utterly
unique. Unstoppable. A total star.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.
