Norway is responding to Donald Trump’s insults by embracing them. After the US president called the country “a s---house,” its official travel guide has retorted with a list of roadside restrooms built in picturesque locations bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In solidarity with the young 15 year old lad arrested for sharing this image of a politician. You know what to do people. Let’s flood X with this.

I know this is hard for americans to understand but in canada we still value a signed deal.

In which case starlink is entirely unreliable. If the CEO can, on a whim, decide to downgrade the service you are paying for, rendering it useless in the middle of a war, it is less than useless; it is a permanent knife to your throat.

I find it fascinating that Americans aren’t more brave. Like they are so afraid of this bully.

This is yet another reminder of why it is foolish to expect Canadian leaders to go back to the negotiating table expecting any kind of good-faith discussion. Trump simply doesn’t see any moral or ethical difference between democracies and dictatorships, and clearly has more of an affinity for authoritarian leaders. He views economic exchange as a test of domination, rather than something that can be mutually beneficial. And he seems to want to carve up the world with China and Russia rather than working with democratic nations.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk supporting Quebec sovereignty: "The future of Canada will be decided by Canadians and the priorities of Canadians, the priorities of the people of Quebec."

Mark Carney laughs when asked about Trump saying Canada will apologize

Canada under the leadership of Mark Carney has become the strongest democracy in the world, some would say in history. While the U.S. slides further into Trump’s fascist dictatorship, our country is seen as the shining example of freedom and hope. Good work fellow Canadians. 🇨🇦👍

Ukraine has every right to defend itself and strike legitimate military targets in Russia that contribute to its war effort. Russia, on the other hand, has NO legitimate targets in Ukraine. It is the aggressor. The distinction really isn’t complicated.

Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations. Moscow is trying to scare Europe into winding down its support for Ukraine. As Russia is willing to take greater risks, Europe must impose greater costs. There are many ways to do that: stronger action against Russia’s shadow fleet and tougher measures targeting its military-industrial complex.

You voted for Trump, got Trump, and now you’re upset because Trump is doing Trump shit? What exactly did you think was going to happen?

I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.   But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.   I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.   I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction. But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.
