Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Even if you think Biden should stay and run again — which is entirely defensible! — you've got to concede that they are bungling this response in catastrophic fashion. Criticize the media all you want, but the White House has proved incapable of changing the narrative or instilling confidence.

The fundamental post-WW2 error is the belief that fascism was defeated in 1945. What we should have learned is that about 20-30% of the population generally think fascism sounds pretty good, and whenever we take our eye off the ball... guess who's back?

I think the thing for me is one guy is genuinely very elderly and losing it a bit, but has pretty good staff in a bunch of areas, tho admittedly not all areas I care about. And the other guy is a fascist who wants to install 4chan to run DOD, DOE, and DOJ. So it's not like it's a /hard/ decision

The Canadian government announced another round of settler designations. Importantly, this one include Amana, the settler construction arm. This is already a big deal and could get bigger if the US joins on this one.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

I guess I’ve become sort of a science-hype debunker so as far as this goes, let me just say: it’s real. Really really real. You could soon get a shot every six months that would basically eliminate your chance of getting HIV. Taken a step further: we have the tools to eliminate HIV in our lifetime.

I love Jason's FOIA work because he'll go hard against the culture of secrecy and then actually be honest with the reader about what's in the documents he worked so hard to shake loose. (Unlike some other outlets.) And in this case: It's Fauci being entirely reasonable and thoughtful!

Honestly, I wish I understood it. He is definitely uncurious about foreign interference and wants to hammer the government on cost of living issues. Which, fair. But like, maybe you should see if your party is okay and advise it accordingly?

The rainy season in Japan is no joke. But happy to be in a city with so much to do. Thank you to the Japanese embassy in Canada for your advice as I further my research on Canada’s engagement in the Indo Pacific! It was a great week.

My colleagues, @plagasse.bsky.social and @smsaideman.bsky.social have been doing research on civil-military relations where their findings suggest that opposition MPs would rather not be read-in to defence situations in Canada b/c it ends up serving government's ends. They can explain better than I.

I honestly have no idea why he wouldn't want to get clearance. If I was a Conservative MP I would be upset that he's not protecting his party. But I am not a political genius so maybe they get something I don't.

It’s okay. Just a report reviewing 30k pieces of intel suggesting that some parliamentarians are “willingly and semi wittingly” passing on information to foreign intelligence agencies. NBD. 😐

I am very concerned that our political parties are not doing what they should. No one is acting. They kicked the findings to an ongoing inquiry that is already over-tasked. The opposition leader refuses to read the classified version of the report because he refuses to get clearance (?!)
