I heard that Trump is refashioning the CIA to focus on the West, which could be understood as including a focus Canada. I can sort of imagine the turbulence we may start to see in Canada's political realm as a result of such shift of

I can not be sure of anything based on a blog post of a guy I've never heard of until yesterday. I just said "watch out" to try to raise awareness. I personally have experienced a lot of bad stuff too. It is sort of par for

One thing to watch out for is generalized depression. It can make it seem that all projects are not worth investing in. It may seem to be related to this project but it may be a wider issue for the individual.

I sort of wonder if this is the actual underlying reason for wanting to annex Canada and Greenland. Northern land will be more valuable with global warming, an could even be seen as long-term strategic resources to grab if global warming i

I don't support this action by Trump and I am linking to an article that criticizes the Florida bill. But it is trying to explain/justify why this word may be banned based referencing the ideological background that is motivating

In what way? This is a list of words to identify applications that the Trump admin wants to deny grants to. Isn't that restricting research quite broadly based on very ideological grounds? This isn't about US research prioritie

I am so disheartened by the term "free speech" in political usage because it does seem to me mostly a rallying call to actually ban speech that the user of the term dislikes. I look to how "cisgender" is treated on X wo

The right thing to do. Ford, the PM of Ontario, is also barring contracts with US companies while the tariffs are in place. This seems very escalatory. I do worry that retaliatory cycle could lead to some in the US saying that Canada&#x27

I don't think OpenAI stole from Disney or Netflix. Rather OpenAI stole from individual artists and YouTube and other social media who users do not really have any lobbying power. So I think OpenAI, Disney and Netflix win together. Bi
