sometimes this can just be burnout caused by the unrealistic and mentally draining demands of our modern work culture

Dear God, I’d hope so. Although I’d 100% believe Alberta would put an LLM in charge of road safety and only implement the bad stuff.

20 people sharing a single truck for an hour each week to do their shit uses just as much fuel and causes just as much pollution as those same 20 people using 20 trucks for an hour.

This is incorrect, over half the greenhouse gasses released during the service life of a vehicle are made when it is created.

Jokes on you I bike to work and the grocery store every day. Skill issue.

The only one I could use would be 5.

If I had to pick 4, 5, 9 and donate the money.

Here is a voting record for the bill. Some notable exerts.

Edit: Ahhh hold on I misunderstood what you meant, I can get you that info but it’ll have to be tomorrow.

It’s pretty clear that Trump’s stance toward the slaughter of Ukrainians has been one of quiet complicity.

my gf is also imaginary

Eat my entire ass, until the fascist is out and you take real steps to make sure that can’t happen again, I’ll shop elsewhere. I learned to cook over this.

Ooh boy, yet another blatant power grab.

TL;DR:

Craig Fuller, founder of FreightWaves and once a potential Trump transportation pick, says the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have triggered a supply chain collapse, truck traffic from LA ports is down 23%, with 50% import drops predicted. Even major logistics firms like Knight-Swift blame “toxic tariffs” for plummeting volumes.

TL;DR:

The Trump administration scrapped a Biden-era plan that would have forced poultry companies to limit salmonella levels in raw chicken and turkey—a move meant to prevent food poisoning.

Another rule delaying stricter salmonella checks on frozen breaded chicken (like cordon bleu) was also pushed back.

Sorry, I’m just summarizing the article to practice my writing. if it isn’t in the article I usually won’t catch it. Thanks for the additional context though!

TLDR:

Israeli airstrikes killed at least six Palestinians guarding aid trucks in Gaza, according to Hamas, as aid distribution struggles due to looting and delays.

Israel says it allowed 300 trucks in since easing its blockade, but aid groups say it’s not enough and many supplies are stuck at the border.

The UN warns of extreme hunger, with two million people at risk of famine. Meanwhile, Israel intensified strikes overnight, hitting 75 targets.

The conflict, ongoing since October 2023, has killed over 53,600 Palestinians,

This would make a great sequel to Bully

I’m not a bot I’m just trying to make people’s lives easier while also working on my writing skills!

TLDR:

The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.

DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.

TL;DR:

World leaders are rethinking White House visits after Trump’s confrontational tactics turned diplomatic meetings into political ambushes. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was blindsided by Trump pushing debunked far-right claims about “White farmer genocide,” complete with a dramatic, lights-dimmed slideshow of sensationalized headlines.

The pattern mirrors Zelensky’s tense Oval Office grilling earlier this year, because of this repeated intimidation a White House invitation now carries reputational risk.

I know this one doesn’t say a lot that the headline doesn’t but I’m still putting it here to save people the trouble of reading the article.

TL;DR:

The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with “assaulting” an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.

Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.

The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.

The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
