  • lots of stuff will be in trouble.

    Like, civilization?

    • Trump announces 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1

    Jump

  • Or? Didn't you mean "is".

    • Trump threatens 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1

    Jump

  • Cool, calm reciprocity. They Tarrif us, we Tarrif them where it hurts in equal measure.

    For everything else, there are better trade partners.

    • Trump threatening 35% tariffs on Canadian goods across the board

    Jump

  • There is nothing to negotiate. The US is a bad faith actor. There are no deals to be had.

    The Americans don't honour any deal, including those negotiated by Trump. He is bound by no personal honour, no court or rule of law. No body politic like congress. There is nothing to negotiate.

    It is all a waste of time. Focus on real partners, realpolitik and with the Americans, reciprocity above all. Fuck Trump. Fuck America. That shithole country can slide all the way down the Human Development Index like the backwater they are.

    • Malaysia says China will sign Southeast Asia nuclear weapons free zone treaty when documents are ready

    Jump

  • This is pretty stupid. China wants sole nuke in the region. Agreeing to stupid shit like this was about as wise as Ukraine giving nukes back to Russia in exchange for a promise of non-agression. TOTALLY WORTHLESS.

    • Canadian media giant Rogers named as victim of Chinese telecom hackers

    Jump

  • I say Rogers and Bell should merge. Then merge with Telus, then videotron.

    Then get nationalized as a fully public entity.

    • Truckers Freedom Convoy leader says he is seeking political asylum in the United States

    Jump

  • May the door of consequence hit him in the ass on the way out.

    • The U.S. boycott remains strong. Why many Canadians are digging in their heels  | CBC News

    Jump

  • My boycott is for life. Trust is earned slowly, and broken instantly.

    • Its so easy for humans to die from a random accident, but very hard to deliberately end their own lives reliably and painlessly.

    Jump

  • Death by bacon?

    • Keep away from wokeness and DEI, new minister warns municipalities

    Jump

  • Eat them and gain their power.

    • Pope Leo interrupts vacation to appeal for action on climate change

    Jump

  • It's good to be the pope.

    • My spoon is too big.

    Jump

  • I am a banana!

    • Why Did the New York Times Collaborate With a Eugenicist?

    Jump

  • They can't have my email, and they won't accept a pic of my ballsack. These registration forms are so prejudiced with what is acceptable and what isn't.

    • Cabinet ministers told to find ‘ambitious’ savings by end of summer

    Jump

  • Narrator: It won't.

    Narrator 3.5 years from now: It didn't.

    • As women have far fewer babies, the U.S. and the world face unprecedented challenges

    Jump

  • Seriously though, this is the wealthy's problem. They have the funds, let them have the kids.

    • Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ Americans

    Jump

  • What a shithole country.

    • Setting the record straight on Canada’s ‘productivity crisis’

    Jump

  • Remember when eating the rich prepare the billionaires like beef steaks and roasts. The multimillionaires like pork, ribs and butt/picnic shoulder. Prepare economists like sausages.

    Remember to cook low and slow and don't forget the spices.

    • Donald Trump signs disaster declaration for deadly Texas floods

    Jump

  • The world signed a disaster declaration for the USA for terminal stupidity.

    • Plastics threaten ecosystems and human health, but evidence-based solutions are under political fire

    Jump

  • No species this stupid was meant to survive. We won't.

    • ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing

    Jump

  • "Both lead to immediate adjustments in driving, more quickly than any human can react. "

    Again, sort of. ABS isn't quicker than humans react, it's a stopgap measure for divers without sufficient skill. It only turns on after you have fucked up and locked your breaks.

    "I don’t know what it is, but they generally execute smooth comfortable turns."

    Likely a combination of software that defines comfortable zones, including adhering to speed limits and paired with an accelerometer.

    I think we are still a very long way off from autodrive. Being able to handle changing conditions like freezing rain and black ice or a flooded road will take time.
