  • At least three people, including 18-year-old girl, killed, many others wounded in joint attack by Bangladesh Army, Police, Bengali settlers on minority homes in Chittagong Hill Tracts

  • There has been genocide and ethnic cleansing going on in Bangladesh for many decades carried out by the military and Bengali settlers against minorities who live in the hills. The minorities are tibeto-burman tribes completely un-related to Bengalis who are majority in Bangladesh. There has been sporadic attacks and massacres of these minority people have been going on in Bangladesh even in recent years that has not caught international attention. The people in this particular case are "Marama" or "Marma" or ethnic Arakanese people who live in Bangladesh.

  • Folks, this is a regular occurence in Myanmar, and not a one-off thing. This military regime is a terror state.

  • AI-fuelled delusions are hurting Canadians. Here are some of their stories

    Jump

  • An April MIT study found AI Large Language Models (LLM) encourage delusional thinking, likely due to their tendency to flatter and agree with users rather than pushing back or providing objective information. Some AI experts say this sycophancy is not a flaw of LLMs, but a deliberate design choice to manipulate users into addictive behaviour that profits tech companies.

  • So she wasn't even talking about Kirk, but Toronto Sun Columnist Joe Warmington twisted it to make it about Kirk's killing. Isn't Toronto Sun owned by right-wing Americans? Why isn't this foreign intervention?

  • From the sound of it, this was a commercial Filipino fishing vessel that likely rammed the Chinese ship by accident because the Chinese navy damaged that ship with powerful water cannons.

  • ‘Nazi Karens’ Go Full Cancel Culture on Charlie Kirk Critics

    Jump

  • DODGE is a government agency and they were carrying out a political agenda they WON the election on. Guess what, this is what we are seeing happening across the US government. The same with ICE. More than HALF of your country wanted this. I don't like what they're doing but that's the choice Americans made. If you want to reverse it, elect a government that can!

    There are very much other instances of us on the "left" doing this. People have gotten fired for being vaguely racist lgbt etc speech. This is very much the same type of argument they are making. This is echo chamber talk and the downvote that I am seeing is very much a reflection of the lack of self-awareness that we often accuse them of. Do reflect deeply, and not act just on the basis of your emotions and biases.

    Also, do dig deeper, some have said much more than "Kirk was hateful."

  • No it's not but I recall people making similar lists for other causes, most recently ICE agents, or DODGE staffers, etc. This isn't new, and it is the new political reality. We can't be like them saying "hey not for us" when we employ the same tactics they do.
