#uspol Ezra Klein nails it: “That is the tension at the heart of Trump’s whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him.” [gift link] nytimes.com/2025/02/02/opinion…

Impressive response from PM Trudeau, which spans 80 yrs of history.

It's sickening to see the violent stupidity of MAGA directed outward. I can't imagine we'll be forgiven or fully trusted again in my lifetime.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in the Maritimes. We take our children to MTL and TOR whenever we can. Vacationed in VAN and Banff. We've been treated with more respect by Canadian immigration officers than by our own.

Best neighbors ever. I'm sorry. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

#Movuary day 3 brings you a classic example of why I should not be allowed to make music like this, whatever this is supposed to be. I don't know how to classify it, and I wrote it. Creapy broken jazzy dub and bass? I dunno...

Earlier this week, we reported that Meta had introduced a URL which forces the Facebook Mobile site on desktop browsers. This was working for some people, but it was not working for a significant number of others. Meta tells us they have resolved this issue now, and our tests suggest that this is correct.
If the URL did not work for you before, you might try it again. It is: facebook.com/?force_mobile=1.

I published a new article, 'Exercise Caution When Using runBlocking on Android'.

In this article, we will delve into its internal mechanism and explore why it should be used cautiously by looking at some sample cases, particularly in Android.

@rommix0 well, for sure Grok... Deep-seek is a bit questionable. While it's good they got to make the weights with less power, safety appears to be out the window with it and there was a lot less review of that by the Chinese. So I could see the rise of some of these open ones spurring further changes there on it.

The CAQ government's dirty little not-so-secret secret about the province's emergency rooms is a refusal to continue to educate, vaccinate, update, etc. the citizens about COVID-19, influenza, RSV, etc. spreading at an alarming rate..

But, hey, CAQists are gainfully employed at the fancy, new bloated piece of garbage organization *COUGH* SANTÉ QUÉBEC *COUGH* to put out lies and bullshit and make cuts to healthcare. montreal.citynews.ca/2025/01/3…

As if Shopify's policies of propping up Breitbart, QAnon, Proud Boys, etc. wasn't reason enough to dump Shopify in the past, right?

If you deal with #Shopify for your website, etc., consider dumping them immediately.

"CEO of Canada’s 2nd biggest company [Shopify] defends Trump’s tariff demands, slams Trudeau for not stopping trade war"

Well, one more company added to my personal "no, thanks, not buying here" list.

This flavor of treason is not surprising given that the dude’s wealth is dependent on retail sales in North America, but it’s still treason.

* Neutrality Treaty: The US retains the right to defend the Canal's neutrality, but this does not give the US any ownership or operational rights.
* Cooperation: The US and Panama cooperate on matters related to the Canal, including security and environmental protection.
Key Points:
* The US no longer owns or operates the Panama Canal.
* The US has a right to defend the Canal's neutrality, but this right is limited and does not infringe on Panama's sovereignty. (4/5)
in reply to victor tsaran

* The Panama Canal is a vital waterway for international trade, and its smooth operation is in the interest of both the US and Panama.
In summary, the US's rights to the Panama Canal have changed significantly over time. While the US played a crucial role in the Canal's construction and operation, it now recognizes Panama's sovereignty over the waterway. The two countries maintain a cooperative relationship to ensure the Canal's continued operation and neutrality. (5/5)

The CAQ government thought they could work on a wide range of commercial, economic, political,, etc. matters of interest to CAQists by having offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Miami...

HOW ABOUT CLOSING THESE OFFICES AND STOP WASTING TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY ON THIS KINDA PROPAGANDA BS!
