Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

This Day in History, 1986: Olaf Solheim's tragic death after being evicted for Expo 86 tourists Olaf Solheim had a chest-length white beard and liked to watch children play at Oppenheimer Park

Remember Olaf.

With the 40th anniversary of Expo 86, there was a human cost to the Fair

What the fuck

I've seen a version of this item that does a similar water thing but also curses the wearer to speak in a Texan accent and call all friendly creatures "partner" and unknown creatures "stranger", but they don't realize it's causing them to do it

I thought Carney was a builder of infrastructure? With $2.4 billion, we could quickly get to incredible levels of intercity bus service.

Medical appointments, family visits, vacations, etc could all be done without a car.

Instead, the people who can afford a car will save ~$5 per tank.

Edmonton police emails, documents provide new information on Canada-first AI facial recognition bodycam pilot | CBC News Key details include a “critical fault” system outage, possible extension of pilot project and that facial recognition model was supplied by Corsight AI, a company whose technology has reportedly been ...

Under the liberals police are partnering with Israeli AI companies to do mass surveillance in Canada.

With over $900 million in tax breaks for AI data centers and companies Mark Carney will transform Canada into a permanent corporate police state in just a few years

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

it makes sense when you consider that one company owns almost all our grocery stores, and one that owns all our telecommunications, that we would just have one political party that's just kind of all them at once.

Brentwood conned by its alphabetical placement! If it was Zentwood the part under renovations might have been finished!

Israel abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1954.

Today they voted to bring it back — exclusively for Palestinians.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.

It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

I'd say a high quality orchestrated version of the soundtrack, but uhhh... this particular title has already had that done multiple times too

Pierre Poilievre sharing JK Rowling attacks on Imane Khelif

Leader of a major political party essentially saying that if you're a non white woman and you win awards you must be a man

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow."

The idea of a monomyth that is "American culture" is kinda weird. As mentioned, the most salvageable and interesting parts are almost entirely regional or minority subcultures.

J.K. Rowling is personally funding attacks on trans women’s rights with her Harry Potter money - LGBTQ Nation Her fund has been bankrolling anti-trans activism for a year now.

Also y'know, the JK Rowling is a garbage person and any support of her IP at this point is an endorsement of said bigotry Valley

I'm so glad for how happy they seem to be back together and playing again

I really can't put this more clearly.

If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on.

There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

Epic Games layoffs serve as a timely reminder that accountability is dead What happened to Harmonix and Mediatonic under Epic Games? Good question.

I genuinely wonder where the Infinite Growth Money Bros are going to realize if they lock out everyone from the consumer economy, then that economy collapses and their Infinite Growth model just stops. Magic Line Must Always Go Up but eventually the momentum stops.

Conspiracy that the business model is to sell tickets to fans of whoever the visiting team is for a near guaranteed win

The Island, the lower mainland, and the rest of the BC are three distinct states of mind forced to co-occupy one legislative body

If they had a functioning BS detector they'd realize the Overton window has shifted right such that despite Carney being better on a few cultural touchstones, his economic policies are effectively in line with and a continuation of the Harper years.

I'd argue that the youth numbers are pretty in line with 2015 and 2019 general election numbers. There's a small dip/shift from NDP to Con but considering the drubbing they took and lack of permanent leader atm it seems expectable.

Imo way bigger outlier is the oldest cohort overwhelmingly going L

Looking at the numbers, from the oldest cohort to the youngest:

The Libs drop 15 from 53 to 38
The Cons gain 5 from 30 to 35
The NDP gain 9 from 5 to 14
The Bloc lose 2
The Greens gain 3

While the cons are up, much tighter lead seems also from young left seeing Carney is a quite conservative lib

The one case of the evil timeline version not having a beard or moustache

Potentially unsalvageable country.

Yikes

Counting the cuts Mark Carney's attacks on Canada's public service should concern all Canadians.

My latest! I'm keeping a list of the cuts that Mark Carney's government has made, and what impact they'll have on our public services.
