Toronto: What we’re seeing now is that (police) are not even distinguishing between protests, academic events or cultural events. Any time there are Palestinians speaking about Palestine, they are viewed as potentially anti-semitic or promoting violence.” www.thegrindmag.ca/cops-keep-sh...

🚨 MB Ghalibaf, Iran’s Parliament Speaker and head of negotiating delegation: 🔸We are not stronger than the United States in military power, that is basic math; it is clear that they have more money, equipment, and resources, and because they have invaded many countries and committed crimes around the world, they have more experience than us. 🔸The Zionist regime, which is the servant and agent of the U.S. in the region, also possesses great power. 🔸Sometimes we hear our dear people say that we destroyed them! We did not destroy them. 🔸But we are the winners on the battlefield in this war. Certainly, equipment, resources, and money are effective in war and victory, but it is not always the case. We fought an asymmetric war in such a way that, through our own planning and preparedness, we repelled the enemy. 🔸The enemy had money and resources but did not act with proper planning. They make strategic mistakes; they err in understanding our people just as they do in their military planning.
🔸The U.S. government claims that America comes first, but in practice, it has shown that Israel comes first because it makes decisions based on Israel’s misinformation. 🔸Sometimes I hear from our dear citizens and even national media that we have destroyed all their military power, so we should advance and destroy the rest and not negotiate. Here we need to pay attention: we have an advantage on the battlefield, and that is why Trump is requesting a ceasefire. ▫️ @mb_ghalibaf

Carney is right: Hope isn’t a plan, but nostalgia seems to be the strategy.
Harper-era tax cuts to spur 2026 investment? We already know: lower corp taxes don’t buy productivity—they drive share buybacks and dividends.
This is a Canada strong for some, not for all. Throwback tax policy. 👎 #cdnpoli

I must listen to the birds.
And in order to hear the birds,

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

That's not to say that you shouldn't be careful how you use these glasses. Meta doesn’t have the greatest track record on privacy, and the company has continued to push forward with policies that are questionable at best. Even if you’re not concerned that face recognition will allow Meta to target immigrants or enable stalkers to find their victims, at the very least, people really do not like the idea that you could start recording them at any moment.
Probably the biggest hurdle to wearing Meta glasses is that even doing so seems like a gross violation of the social contract. After all, these are Mark Zuckerberg's “pervert glasses.” When I pop these on my head, I’ve had friends (and my spouse) recoil and say, “I have apps to warn me away from people like you.” The best part, though, is that Oakley and Ray-Ban already make really great sunglasses. Even if the battery runs out or you don't use Meta AI at all, these are stellar at shading your eyes from the sun

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

According to sources inside the IDF they measure success in Lebanon by the number of buildings destroyed per day. This has nothing to do with Hezbollah, their primary objective is to target civilians. It's a Lebanese Nakba.
