1) this sucks 2) don’t have the spoons to try & make a coherent post about the the conflation of antisemitism and antizionism. All I can say is its bad, its common, and effective political speech ought to plan accordingly.

I featured this graphic by separatist leader Keith Wilson in my latest article, but to prevent rabbit hole distractions I cropped out the astounding AI junk on the edge of this photo. Ottawa in…. New Brunswick? And what is that building? Sure not Parliament. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

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...
Incredible how deluded MAGA is. 🤯 STILL litigating pandemic, despite fact their COVID conspiracy theories have become even MORE absurd❓ Reality: 👉 Ivermectin NOT a miracle cure 👉 Vaccines SAVED millions of lives 👉 Origin most likely NATURAL spillover 👉 Public health measures helped reduce spread
Every left of center person needs to internalize the fact that most legacy outlets are now captured by fascist billionaires. These institutions are coasting off their previous goodwill and will reporting. But they are now propaganda outlets whose primary goal is to aid the Republican Party.
Canada is a leader in hydroelectricity, but when it comes to wind and solar, we rank just 57th. As countries race to build low-cost electricity systems, Canada has an opportunity to move faster on wind and solar at home. Read the latest findings from @ember-energy.org: buff.ly/M4opcpN

Zivo is an embarrassment, as are all the people gloating over the lawsuit against Press Progress
Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · 6d agoReceived this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct

Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 6d agoScoop: Schumer stopped by a fundraiser last night in DC for SCOTT COLOM, Dem Senate candidate in deep-red Mississippi, per two sources.
