But hey at least this way WS can more efficiently carve a slice off all of the volatility MAGA is creating at the expense of… everyone else on earth. Great stuff.

Would you trust your money with a company that thinks partnering with Elon Musk - in 2026! - is a good idea? @wealthsimple.bsky.social thinks so.

Seems they’re going all in on Mr Mechahitler, prediction market gambling, and who knows what else.

Keeping your money MAGA-free is now a full time job…

OK but hear me out… shouldn’t the yellow portion be at the hoist? Like so:

Funny how it’s cool that the existing homes’ yesteryear developers (and their past and current owners) also failed to incorporate adequate on-site parking to meet demand… but asking them to bear the cost of resolving this today would be ludicrous, for some reason.

A somewhat plausible claim might be that he meant “the trappings of modern civilization” (such as infrastructure - the power grid, water treatment plants, bridges, etc.) rather than “the members of this civilization”. But that’s drawing a distinction between war crimes & full-on genocide. Ugh.

It’s exceedingly clear that he didn’t mean ”the terrorist regime” because immediately following the threat, he also said “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” For what reason would he express regret for the impending demise of “the terrorist regime”?

Remarkable contrast to learn of this in the same week as stories discussing how Canada has (still) yet to award even a single Victoria Cross to anyone among those who have fought and died since our own version was created in 1993:

Yes, but I believe the Governor (as quoted, at least) twists things. I believe the term does not specifically refer to people who are currently incarcerated. The point is to replace term like “offender”, “ex-convict” and so forth which stigmatize people long after they are no longer imprisoned.

CEO of Palantir Says He Spends a Large Amount of Time Talking to Nazis CEO of Palantir Alex Karp unexpectedly revealed that he spends a lot of his time having conversations with "real Nazis."

So, uh, obviously this Palantir thing is not surprising to anyone who’s been paying attention to how these guys see the world (link below, for example) but that doesn’t make it any less disgusting.

The boundless ingenuity shown by Ukrainians in response to Russia’s murderous war continues to astound.

“Yo, I heard you hate drones… so I put a drone-killing drone in a drone ship and shot down a drone for you”

Sorry but this is just church-washing the exact sentiments of the Access Hollywood tape.

I was looking into precedents for this and was surprised to find that grocery shelf tag unit pricing ($/100ml or 100g) is not actually required in most of Canada. In theory, such things could be adopted industry-wide on a voluntary basis.

Screenshot of Tire Spy price history for a set of screwdrivers at Canadian Tire showing a perpetual pattern of deep discounts, revealing that the “regular price” is for chumps.

Third party price trackers can only do so much (but where they’re available, they really do help you crack the code):

What algos *should* offer us is radical price transparency, not more instability: make major retailers proactively provide shoppers with historical price data, and 7/30/90/365-day high/low prices per SKU.

“When face recognition is used in an investigation, officers should not only look for evidence that supports probable cause; they should also actively look for evidence that the person identified is not the right suspect,” King wrote to The Post. “That obligation is essential.”

Not just for creeps - also for scammers!

What? 10 years ago we were reeling from the Rob Ford horror show and had just elected John Tory on an austerity agenda simply because he seemed kinda normal. Toronto was riding high 15-20 years ago, and what happened was the aforementioned Rob Ford.

Thank you!

Ukraine's role in European security YouTube video by Anders Puck Nielsen

We need to move beyond the discussion about security guarantees to Ukraine. For their own security, European NATO members should pursue a real alliance. In this video, I explain why Ukraine is so important for Europe's ability to deter Russian aggression.

@transsee.bsky.social I feel like I’ve seen this, but I’m not sure where: is it possible to use TranSee to determine where a GO Train will head next after Union? For example, if a certain LE trip is going OOS, to LW, or elsewhere?

Of course
