Audi Offers EV Lessees Up to $10,000 to Keep Their Cars.
Magical Thinking
Run the same poll three months from now and you’ll probably get a very different result, but for the time being Canadians seem blissfully unaware of the freight train that’s barreling down the tracks towards them. John Q. Voter is either incapable of understanding basic economics or he’s experiencing some sort of psychotic break just now.
This means items that consumers may not regularly see or purchase, but are often required as part of a manufacturing process or supply chain that ultimately could mean higher prices for a wider variety of goods — even if they’re made in Canada.
Three-in-five (60 per cent) of respondents said they are willing to stay the course on Canada’s current negotiating strategy even if it means paying 10 or 20 per cent more for household expenses, including groceries and clothing.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Our new friends and overlords in the EU will step up to take it off our hands, right?
President Donald Trump moved Tuesday to sharply escalate the trade war with Canada, seeking to block imports of some motorcycles, dairy products and alcohol.
Senior Trump administration officials said in a call with reporters that the move was in direct response to Canada’s latest retaliatory tariffs, which took effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
The ban on importing Canadian alcohol in particular closely mirrors bans on American alcohol that provinces across Canada put in place in early 2025. They were imposed after Trump introduced sweeping duties on Canada, America’s longtime northern ally.
The measures announced Tuesday were signed into law under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, documents posted to the White House website show. That trade law was never used until Trump implemented new tariffs on Canada under the statute in late August.
A senior Trump administration official told reporters on the call that the White House also completed “housekeeping” on tariffs already in place. Tariffs on cement, road salt and hospital pads were removed and replaced with duties on all-terrain vehicles, some cheeses and motorboats.

I keep coming back in my mind to all of the “conspiracy theories” that have come true since 2016.
I have told friends in the past: “The more you see, the more you see.”
Indigenous Ways Of Sciencing
All federal scientific research should be Indigenous focused, says a Department of Natural Resources report. “How can we as public servants be actors in reconciliation?” it asked: “Ideally, the decolonization of research implies full Indigenous ownership of research. However it is still hard.”

At Whose Expense?
Every time a politician tells you that his policy will “come at a cost“, you just know he doesn’t have your best interests in mind.
Carney discussed Canada’s plan to respond to the U.S. trade war by striking new trade deals with other countries.
“We have everything we need to pivot and prosper,” he said.
“That pivot will come at a cost. There’s always a cost to action. But it doesn’t come close to the cost of standing still.”

It’s hard to believe that one man can be so stupid, ignorant, and wrong. The Lieberal propaganda, broadcast far & wide by the legacy media (and I suspect more than a few social media “influencers”) works wonders in the brains of the weak minded.

Ian Lee, as Canada’s counter-tariffs hit: this isn’t a mood. It’s jobs.~45,000 Canadian firms export to the U.S.; 30,000 export only there. $400B in sales, ~2 million jobs. “We are literally playing with fire.” Sales collapse → “You lay off workers.” Ottawa can’t put them all on… pic.twitter.com/DumNBfXbYZ

That Elusive Utopia
In which we linger in the mood room of Reddit anarchists.
And then there’s this guru of the alternative:
“I spent several years trying to live in rejection of capitalism; I squatted, I hustled, I did commercial burglaries and retail thefts, dumpster dove, lived on the kindness of others, but money usually reared it’s ugly head one way or another.”
It’s all kindness, kindness, burglary.
Oh, there’s more.
