When. He's the worst party leader Canada has had in decades, and very popular it seems. People will vote for him because they're frustrated with the effects of their Conservative provincial governments and too ignorant to understand this.

Denier, not skeptic. Skeptics are rational and respond to evidence and argument.

Not that the media care, but they always over-dignify these fools.

The Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Firefox browser maker Mozilla, has laid off 30% of its employees as the organization says it faces a “relentless onslaught of change.”

I think they're covering scope 1 and 2 emissions, but not scope 3. That is to say that they're trying to limit emissions during extraction, transportation of fossil fuels, and refining (and from the electricity those use) but not from when the fossil fuels are burned.

A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.

Once Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris, Trump's entire campaign strategy was upended, making him the oldest candidate on the campaign trail and exposing faults in his logic.

Wtf, "exposing faults in his logic"? Why do the media continue to do everything they can to portray Trump as a reasonable man making logical plans for how best to govern?

This is not someone killed in battle:

Donald Trump raged when he learned the funeral bill for Vanessa Guillén—the U.S. soldier who was sexually harassed and horrifically murdered by a male soldier at Fort Hood in 2020—cost $60,000, a bombshell report revealed Tuesday.

Somehow knowing the circumstances of her death makes Trump's awful remark even nastier. Especially since he is a rapist.

Guillén, a 20-year-old American of Mexican ancestry from Houston, was buried in her hometown on Aug. 15, 2020. Months later, in December, Trump reportedly asked his advisers in a meeting, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?"

When an aide responded “yes” with the bill’s total, Trump allegedly unraveled. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican,” he said, according to people in the meeting who spoke to the Atlantic.

Trump says vile things every day but this has to be one of the vilest.

It gets worse:

Instead of seeking expert advice on how to retrieve the weapon, one officer decided to activate the emergency shutdown button.

"This action caused the MRI's magnet to rapidly lose superconductivity, leading to the evaporation of approximately 2,000 liters of helium gas and resulting in extensive damage to the MRI machine," the suit said.

The officer then retrieved his gun, but left a magazine full of bullets on the floor of the MRI office, the suit says.

"She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred," the organization said.

Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel's efforts on climate action.

"Sadly, Greta's hatred of the world's only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. ..."

Well would you look at that: they make no distinction between demanding the university cut ties with Israel, "hatred for Israel", "hatred of the world's only Jewish nation" and "vile Jew-hatred". So for them there's no gap between asking for pressure to stop Israel's active genocide and hating all Jews. It's so absurd and such a blatant attempt at political gaslighting they don't deserve to be taken seriously.

If you scatter carts in random places the supermarket has to employ someone to collect them. So you are a job creator^TM^. This is why I never return my cart, and also why I jump on cartons of milk in the dairy aisle and take a dump in the broccoli.

It's astonishing many organizations in wealthy democracies are terrified of the slightest criticism of Israel's genocide.

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of launching a "major provocation" 

How dare they provoke the people who have been relentlessly attacking their country for two and a half years.

"The whole Gaza Strip needs to be empty. Flattened. Just like in Auschwitz," Metula Mayor David Azoulai said in a radio interview on Sunday, according toThe Times of Israel. "Let it be a museum for all the world to see what Israel can do. Let no one reside in the Gaza Strip for all the world to see, because October 7 was in a way a second Holocaust."

How blinkered do you have to be to see the Hamas attacks on October 7 as akin to the Holocaust, but not see that your own determination to wipe out the entire people of Gaza resembles the genocidal intent behind the Holocaust?

Ah yes, just like how free speech means corporations must be allowed to bribe politicians.
