  • "ISFAR (International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research) is “a group that’s industry funded — the scientists deny that they’re industry funded, but clearly they are,” said Butt. “They tend to reference each other’s research, but none of it can be placed in peer-reviewed journals because they’re compromised."

    Yeah ... that's a problem.

  • With China’s economy reeling from weak job growth, a real estate slump, falling investment, and shrinking exports, the CCP has leaned harder on national security and social order. That stance now extends to drug crime, but only selectively. Trafficking that harms Chinese citizens is met with unforgiving severity. But the country’s role as a major exporter of fentanyl precursors to North America is a revealing glimpse into what the CCP chooses to police and what it allows to pass.

    Essentially how every dictatorship operates -- if it makes the gov't money it's fine, but if it damages or kills a citizen slave it's bad for the country.

  • The Longest Ballot Committee is also seeking a change to the electoral system.

    It wants a citizens’ assembly put in charge of crafting a new electoral system, and argues that political parties are reluctant to make the government more representative of a diverse electorate.

    This is a good thing to fight for. PP's whingy excuse is not.

  • In 2025, USAID cut funding for a rainwater harvesting initiative designed to improve water access at cyclone evacuation centers in one of the country’s most remote, drought-prone provinces, said Vomboe Shem, climate lead for Save the Children Vanuatu. The materials had already been shipped and distributed, but the project was halted.

    Trump's legacy of murder in action.

  • The authors see it differently. “If the universities – or in this case a university press – are not willing to stand up for what is core to their mission, I don’t know what they’re doing. What’s the point?” said Thea Abu El-Haj, a Palestinian-American anthropologist of education at Barnard College, the women’s school affiliated with Columbia University, who was one of the solicited authors.

    When an uneducated fuckwit like Trump controls every narrative in America, you should be very afraid.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron spoke of wanting to recognize a Palestinian state as part of a ceasefire deal as recently as June.

    When comments like this coming from the French government, Oweida said, it's surprising that France has succeeded in getting students out of Gaza while Canada has not.

    "I think it says volumes, even though we don't really understand what is going on at the level of the Canadian government, but the observations that we're seeing speak volumes and of themselves," he said.

    "How could France, who's been quite critical of Israel, evacuate?"

    ... and, by extension, Canada not?

    sigh

    We're doing absolutely nothing to help Palestinians.
