Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

I cackled

Canada Post delivers to 17.6 million addresses every day (business and residential). At 260 work days per year, that is 4.57 billion deliveries each year. Over eight years, that is 36 billion mail deliveries in 8 years.

Canada post delivered mail 36 billion times and it only cost $6.1 billion.

👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

Just a quick note that if you’re somehow still foolish enough to support Canadaland, you may wanna officially rethink it

Everytime I see a big contract announcement

Breanna Stewart says on her podcast she signed a 3-year standard max contract, where she'll get 17% of the cap each year

She emphasized the importance to her & her teammates of "get[ting] as much as they can while also having a great team," & that this salary + structure was the best way to do that

Pauls homophobia and racist Pizza in Calgary

“This is not about politics or labels,” she wrote. “Airdrie is a community built on care, respect, and looking out for one another.” The restaurant owner has followed up with posts claiming he was unaware of what “MMIWG” meant and that he was attempting to make jokes criticizing the 2SLGBTQIA+ acronym and terminology. “Obviously, I don’t support Indigenous women (or any woman) being murdered,” reads a post from the restaurant. “My dig is at the alphabet community.”

Restaurant chain in Calgary makes social media posts openly mocking Murdered and Missing Indigenous women and tries to justify it saying they were trying to dehumanize LGBTQ+ people instead.

This is the level of racism and bigotry that's common and tolerated in Canada

On January 10, 2022, the Knicks played the San Antonio Spurs at the Garden. It was Pride night. Richards was there, attending with a friend. An 18-page report prepared by Eversole's Threat Management Group and reviewed by WIRED shows just how closely she was being monitored. 07:10:20 // CAM 0241 // scans her ticket to section 102, Row 8, Seat 5 07:11:14 // CAM 1434 // goes up terrace escalators on level 3 to level 6 concourse 07:12:52 // CAM AC10 // hugs usher Appendix A of the report has a screenshot of the embrace, with Richards circled in red. 08:08:58 // CAM 1093 // talking with F&B worker at the Draft Kings Bar 08:10:49 // CAM 0512 // pays for the drinks 08:31:19 // CAM 0485 // eating at a table It goes on and on. At 8:48 pm, camera 0489 spots another quick hug with an MSG “membership experience executive” (there's a grainy photo in the report's Appendix N). Two minutes and two seconds later, the same camera captures her heading into the women's bathroom. Her exit is noted after precisely two minutes and five seconds.

The owner of MSG and the Knicks compiled this kind of second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman while they were in the arena. They're doing this at all venues owned by James Dolan of perceived enemies. Crazy, crazy shit.

Robert Covington is on this list 🤨🧐

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

Well deserved

Call me crazy but I don't love the new reality of Canada essentially being run by the Conservative Lite™ Party with only the Conservative Normal™ Party to fecklessly scream at them for the next three years! It's not, I think, ideal!

Just bc folks are more public about those relationships now doesn’t mean it hasn’t always been happening. For every relationship we know about, there are dozens we don’t. So chill with the weird speculation & assume that everyone here is a professional capable of doing their job.

Kia Nurse is signing with the Tempo, according to a report from @chelsealeite.bsky.social

Very cool!

I'm a WNBA player. Don't use athletes like me to exclude trans women. IOC's policy invites unequal scrutiny. We cannot choose our genes or chromosomes, but we can choose whether we protect the dignity of every athlete.

Here is Brianna being cool and smart. The WNBA player who if she ran for office, I'd vote for in a heartbeat.

Nikola Jokic likely done after one half in Game 82. These are his ABSURD season averages where he led the NBA in both rebounds and assists!

27.7, points, 12.8 rebounds, 10.7 assists on 56.9 FG% and 38 3FG%

UNREAL.

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

LFG!

All right folks, phew! So much much to discuss and confirm.

Okay: I can confirm both reports: @madkenney.bsky.social on Jonquel Jones returning to NYL on a multi-year and from the ESPN trio that Satou Sabally is signing with NY on a multi-year deal.

That would be incredible!
