NEW -- The Geneva Conventions state clearly that after a naval battle, all parties are supposed to take "all possible measures" to rescue survivors from the water.
Our sub that sank that Iranian frigate Wednesday took no possible measures.

1010 and TVO have all the same points as his verbose statement earlier in the week. They all seem of a piece, like a coordinated comms push, all couched in this victim of bad politics stuff. It's weird!

The killing of 165+ students at a girls' school in Iran has also been largely ignored in Canadian media.
As far as I can tell, neither the Toronto Star nor the Globe and Mail has run a standalone story on Saturday's attack.

The documents disclose positions officials have held outside government, their assets and their debts, among other things.” A search bar prompts the user to search for a person or financial holding.
THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees.

- the shortage is not affecting potash right now, but diff fertilizers serve diff purposes. corn, for instance, needs both nitrogen AND potash

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
The mayor needs to yank Shelley Carroll off the police board today. This is bananas. Here’s a gift link. Are there any elected officials in Toronto standing up for residents? She must go.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.
this was a radicalizing discovery for me.
“I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has” is such a depraved thing to say! Zero contrition, zero remorse, zero spirituality
In addition to rural landowners, #CPC MP's such as Scott Reid have come against high speed rail. While Alto still has the obligation to minimize land acquisitions and ensure fair compensation, Conservatives are OK with keeping Canada a global embarrassment. #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/business/doz...

Remember what I said about how, when Trump is flailing, they start inserting a fake, fictional Trump into their stories, who is acting rationally and sanely?
Rory and Cloe have both been doing some incredible work at the National Observer and you should read their stuff.
Screenshot of a spreadsheet that shows the data reported in the post.
US electricity generation changes, 2024 ➡️ 2025:
Coal: ⬆️ 67 TWh (13%)
Oil: ⬆️ 2 TWh (19%)
Gas: ⬇️ 41 TWh (-4%)
Nuclear: no change
Hydro: ⬆️ 6 TWh (3%)
Other renewables: ⬆️ 13 TWh (11%)

Big story is coal generation rising A LOT (67 TWh, 5x renewable growth), mostly displacing gas.

Yeah, not a great sign that they're just going to be experimenting on trans inmates like this and it's not a big story.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Hey remember when everyone thought Mark Carney was bravely standing up to fascism?
We've gotta stop falling for neoliberals' bullshit. They support empire because they rule on stolen land and don't want to give it up. Period.
The Davos speech is over.
Do you know why this is dangerous? Because this law states that you can be jailed for six months, fined $10K, or both if you are merely *suspected* of having or using drugs. People will absolutely be profiled — and not just homeless people. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
