New York is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam AG Letitia James will head an "independent assessment" of what happened to the Blind Rohingya refugee who Border Patrol dumped in Buffalo.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

What is this creep even talking about with "The largest issue right now is the algorithmic filter bubble"?

The greatest feature on Bluesky (after the nuclear block and blocklists) is its LACK of a forced algorithm that favors Nazis.

Literally do not understand this.

what is the case for thinking that the duration of the conflict will be up to Trump?

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

and the longer he goes thinking no one is going to stop him, the more people will be dead before someone finally does. try the fucking war powers act again NOW, guys! do it again every week! grind everything else to a halt! like as always a handful of GOP senators could instantly stop this

Is Pokopia a Pokémon cargo cult?

Alberta, Ottawa agree on deal that would see province front its own major project reviews | CBC News Ottawa and Alberta have reached an agreement that will see the province take control of regulatory approvals for major projects, something they say will deliver those projects more expeditiously.

Corruption Dani gets carte blanche on major projects in Alberta; will still claim it's a raw deal and needs sovereignty.

I swear every day it's a new problem with some Microsoft product for me. They've all become traaaaash

Outlook automatically detects which language I'm writing in and switches to it, which I swear is the cause of half the problems I have with it. It's still set to French, but now only the middle sentence has these "no suggestion" underlines on correct words? I've given up and hit send.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Just love it when Outlook gives up spell checking at all half way through an email in French. It's just underlining random things that are spelled correctly and when I click them it says "no suggestions" 😒

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

It's always funny what gets left out of "tradition" and "the West"

Mesopotamia: Reams of poetry written by a trans woman, epic about trauma, grief and failure.

Greece: Queer loss and the futile brutality of war, societies brought to ruin by aristocratic pride. Also everything Sappho wrote.

@alexanderquon.bsky.social I was just reading some CBC stories from the past year and all the best ones had your byline. I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the great reporting you do here in Saskatchewan.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

Adam is right. The story is never/has never been told by mainstream media as “Iranians murdered by American and Israeli bloodlust.” It’s always passive voice. It’s always allegations. Innuendos. Suggestions. God forbid the paper of record hold the powerful accountable for their crimes.

Influencers are promoting peptides for better health. What does the science say? The latest wellness craze involves injecting these molecules for athletic performance, longevity and more. Scientists say the research isn't keeping pace with the health claims.

I don't understand how we have to beg people to get vaccinated while other people are fine shooting themselves up with untested compounds for unproven "gains" risking god knows what

LB: a friend once told me he had “unconventional” musical tastes. Intrigued i asked his fave genre. “Classical” he told me.
I may have laughed in his face and told him something to the effect of “its classical because its been popular for hundreds of years. How is *that* unconventional?”

That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao

Pokopia really keeps the ball rolling. That flow state 🫟

Maybe you don’t actually have a first amendment right to steal things from other cultures just to study them. Wild thought but just putting it out there

this game is exactly what I thought of when I saw the image.... those darn flamingo floaties!

Store aisle shelves stuffed on one side with inflatable ducks faces the other, stuffed with inflatable flamingos.

some shit is about to go down

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
