God, I thank you that I am not like other people—joggers with dogs, churchgoers, people who want to plant a garden—or even like this business person. I wash my hands twice an hour and stay home to work, and all I get is delivered to my door.

EU technocrats are more upset at being told they can’t censor Europeans than they were at the Bataclan Massacre.

From what I see the December retail numbers are going to be catastrophic. Will be interesting to see how the Liberals spin this.

Thou shalt not steal is considered a hate crime by Liberals.
Nobody’s criminalizing the Bible. You can read it all you want. You just shouldn’t be able to use a specific passage, whether it’s in the Quran, Bible, Torah or other, as a defense when committing a hate crime. Not hard to understand.

I wanted to grow up in a Britain where CSE detectives didn’t ask me if I “consented to sexual activity” after I was abused from the age of 5. I wanted to grow up in a Britain where the police didn’t show up at my door to threaten me after I exposed their failings on TV. I
I want my daughter to grow up in a Britain where she feels safe in school, online, and in relationships. Every young girl deserves that, and every young boy should be protected from harmful misogynistic influences. My government is making that happen, by backing teachers,

I hate to break it to the Just Asking Questions community, but Jews are not that fiendishly clever. It just seems that way because you're so incredibly, unbelievably stupid

When the left talks about food policy, think Holodomor. When the right talks about race, think Nazi.
"Honestly, the Trudeau years were a disaster for Canada’s food security. Ottawa kept inventing fixes for problems it created in the first place, making everything worse and pouring gasoline on the fire. The government needs to get out of the way. At least Prime Minister Carney

The skills of a central banker consist of maintaining an aura of control when things are going well. And when they don't go well they either print money to stimulate, or bankrupt debt and asset holders if there is inflation.
Following a decline over the prior four consecutive quarters, consumer insolvencies rose in Q3 with Ontario and British Columbia seeing large annual increases - Equifax

The magic of free speech is the untrammelled privilege to prove beyond any reasonable doubt your idiocy.
We lost a whole generation of our smartest libs to this insane subculture. This loss of human capital has allowed the right to make huge strides in terms of taking over America.

And North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Who could ever have anything against a democratic Republic?
🚨 WATCH: Rachel Gilmore says that being “anti-DEI is the stupidest thing ever.” “You’re opposing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Why? What’s wrong with those things,” she asks. https://t.co/WSmNVmqeti

I'm pondering whether I want to do one of the bird counts this month. Two problems. I don't like making lists. I don't like people who make lists.

I often think of going back to the Winnipeg General Strike and telling the organizers that their ideological descendants, the NDP, now take it on faith that construction workers are all violent rapists.
@TLNewmanMTL @TristinHopper Had the NDP become the “ewwww, workers!” party?

Socialists gave up on most of that nonsense because it didn't work. A new generation thinks they are smarter and we are all going to experience their learning curve.
Socialism boils down to the belief that workers should own the means of production & resources should be used for the benefit of all. Capitalism boils down to the belief that a few rich people should own most of the wealth on earth & if you don’t have money you deserve to die.

I would have hired this guy.
I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role. They asked me about my experience with Kafka. I told them how in “Metamorphosis” someone can lose their worth in others’ eyes the moment they stop being useful. It’s a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can

What we really need is a waiting list to buy lettuce.
Avi just dropped some of the best policy in the race so far. It includes a Public builder, to get the housing starts we need and to diversify. A public option for telecoms! A public Grocery Store system! Postal Banking for all Canadians. A Public pharma company!

Someone looking for generational wealth from the billions the Liberals are borrowing.
Everyone involved with DOGE should be in prison, but at least some Canadian conservatives earnestly wrote that we needed our own version of DOGE here

Journalists are always the last to know. The worst of them are arrogant in their ignorance.
Anyone who complains about the CBC's "pro-Liberal" bias should be forced to read this outrageous shite from a rag owned by a New York hedge fund. What's worse than hating trans kids is doing the bidding of the evangelical Christian loonies, who actually do hate trans kids.

@Devon_Eriksen_ I cannot agree with your dismissal of LLMs as nothingburgers. Yes they have serious limitations. No, they are not AGI. But they are in some significant cases, effective amplifiers of human intelligence. I'm going to talk about what I know. I've been a software engineer for a
