Oh - the Bluesky that everyone tells us is super libbed up and "good"? *That* bluesky?
Bluesky tells WIRED it blocked links to a leaked archive of information on 41,000 ICE, CBP, and other DHS workers because it contains people’s contact information, shared without their authorization. buff.ly/Winz3Cp

a reminder that Israel is not a real country. It doesn't have declared borders. It doesn't have a constitution. Its population does not have family roots in the land prior to the modern advent of zionism. They don't have a native culture, native food, dance, or stories.
Israel is literally the greatest heist of the 20th century that expelled an ancient society and turned their land into a jewish supremacist military outpost murdering its way through time, and constantly cobbling together new stories about itself to suit the latest political whims, while destroying everything that threatens their latest flimsy narrative.
God and the Bible have nothing to do with this abominable entity. They're not "chosen." They're not "a light." They're the biggest and most dangerous charlatans the world has ever known.
That was not a democratic election. It was another act in this absurd theatre we're all forced to endure.

The founder of the National Post is friend of Epstein, Conrad Black.
Conrad Black was pardoned by Trump.
The NJ hedge fund that controls Postmedia also owns the National Enquirer, which has long been used to aid and abet Trump's crimes.
Canada’s largest newspaper chain is majority controlled by a U.S. hedge fund. Its flagship paper, the National Post, has quietly rewritten wire stories in Israel’s favor and run pro-Israel advocacy alongside its news. Canadian tax dollars are helping fund it.

On Monday, it was kids taking the government to court over its climate inaction.
On Wednesday, it was Indigenous leaders gearing up for a fight for their rights.
Today, it's labour leaders establishing a war room to fight Carney's attack on their rights.
A storm is coming.
Canada's unions won't back down.
Today, labour leaders announced plans for a national war room to fight Carney's attacks on the right to strike.
The govt wants a stronger economy, but it's picking an unfair fight with the workers who keep it running.

🚨 Has anyone bothered to check who was advising Ottawa BEFORE Carney announced up to $1.6 BILLION for Cohere today? Because I did, and the dates deserve considerably more attention than the patriotic sales pitch.
♤ AUGUST 14, 2025: Radical Ventures co-led an investment in Cohere.
◇ OCTOBER 2, 2026: Carney appointed Radical Ventures co-founder Jordan Jacobs to his AI advisory council.
♤ TODAY, OCTOBER 29: Ottawa announces up to $1.6 billion for the company Jacobs' firm backs, twenty-seven days after announcing his appointment.
☆ Did Jacobs help shape that decision, and who kept his firm's financial interests out of it? Or did they even try? An investor advising his government before it invests OUR money in a company HIS firm backs deserves scrutiny. Show us the recusal records!
♤ SEPTEMBER 26, 2025: Ottawa announced its AI Strategy Task Force to recommend Canada's next AI strategy. Members included Cohere's chief AI officer, Joelle Pineau.
◇ TODAY: Her employer receives that investment commitment of up to $1.6 BILLION.
☆ How do we know her recommendations weren't designed to benefit Cohere, and where is the record showing someone checked?
♤ AUGUST 19, 2025: Ottawa signed an agreement exploring Cohere's AI for government operations and improved public services.
◇ DECEMBER 23, 2025: CanadaBuys records a non-competitive contract for Cohere's North platform for the Industry Department, with a listed total of $965,790.
☆ Its executive helps advise on strategy, the company gets government business, and now Ottawa announces it will become an investor. Who independently checks whether taxpayers are getting the best deal? After SDTC, "trust us" should come with the audit attached.
Now the "sovereignty."
♤ SEPTEMBER 16, 2026: Cohere announced its combination agreement with German AI developer Aleph Alpha, planning headquarters in Toronto AND Berlin.
◇ TODAY: Germany's Schwarz Group leads Cohere's financing round, while its STACKIT cloud business plans to run Cohere's AI.
Carney himself cited Cohere's German partnership as an example of the EU alliance strengthening sovereignty. And tomorrow, OCTOBER 30, Solomon and EU executive vice-president Henna Virkkunen are scheduled to announce a digital-cooperation partnership… So…
☆ What control are Canadians buying, who can access government and personal information, and what can Canada actually enforce?
Carney could spare us another expensive accountability excavation by publishing the terms, independent assessments and conflict safeguards NOW. Show Canadians how private interests were kept out of public decisions, without making us spend years extracting the paperwork.
And given Carney and Solomon's shared history and experience with art transactions, they'll understand why I'd like to inspect this arrangement before admiring the picture they’re selling.

Carney calls it “sovereign AI.”
Yet Cohere has partnered with American company @CoreWeave to operate AI infrastructure in Canada.
The problem? Under the U.S. CLOUD Act, American authorities can legally compel U.S. companies to hand over data they control, even if it's stored in Canada.
So are Canadians buying AI sovereignty for $1.6 BILLION, or just the illusion of it?

Canada is so progressive that they're bailing GenAI companies before everyone else
I despise this sack of shit in a human body that is Mark Carney.
The GenAI bubble is popping in China and this pos is stealing our money and giving it to a company linked to Palantir
Fucking 🤡

This is all completely a made up, manipulated, exaggerated attempt to silence support for Palestine and distract from Israel's mass murder of Palestinians.

This is a bailout for the billionaire tech bros for the time when the AI tech bubble bursts. Carney SHOULD be nationalizing Stelco instead.

disabled Canadians would have liked to get more than a $4.20/m bump to the Canada Disability Benefit, but I suppose there are more important matters to 'invest' in.
half of all PWD aren't even getting it due to restrictions and not auto enrolling everyone on provincial supports.

The only time I see anything about this company it’s the government handing them money. Does it do anything useful yet?
"Cohere is a Canadian success story being written before our eyes" - Prime Minister @MarkJCarney
I don't understand why @CanadianPM @MarkJCarney is so invested in throwing our money away into a thing nobody wants, with a company acting as Palantir's Canadian wing. This should be a concern to everyone.
Fuck this guy.
