It’s fucking bananas the amount of time this govt is spending on bike lanes. The premier & minister of transportation both made videos today. The “we’re in a trade war you negligent culture war blow hards” is correct.

I think the thing I resent most about gen AI- and this is a selfish thing to say but it’s true- is that it’s put an asterix on my sense of wonder.
What I mean is that now when I see an amazing or beautiful image I can’t have that initial “wow!” reaction. I doubt. I have to verify. I hate it.

A U.S. senator who doesn’t want his state to suffer consequences because of the president his country elected has not bothered to learn which level of government in Canada he needs to be appealing to for relief.
Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers.
I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

California asks Quebec to return US wine to shelves amid wine industry struggles
California lawmakers asked Quebec to restore U.S. wine sales after 15 months of restrictions, as vintners face export losses and mounting threats to industry.
