If there's a character named 'Nigel' in any novel or story aren't they inevitably the black-hearted villian?
This guy fits that description.

We have had three non resident Orcas patrolling Vancouver Harbour for a few days.
Herring are still spawning.
And I still lament the collapse of the Oolichan here in the Vancouver BC area waters.
Important for West Coast Indigenous culture. The fat is precious.

Mother Sues OpenAI for Not Telling Police About Mass Shooter Before Deadly Rampage OpenAI knew about the shooter's disturbing conversations and failed to notify authorities, the mother accuses in the suit.

"Please help me!"?
Talk of self harm and suicide are probably common as well.
Whatever technology this claims to be seems like a really bad idea for any vulnerable user.

None of this surprising.

Benylin codeine cough syrup also had chloroform back in the 70s.
Orange juice wasn't a good mixer.
Root beer was decent but still pretty horrible.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID β€” the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Trump’s propaganda princess gets busy spinning Iran war White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt held a whirlwind press briefing on Tuesday, where she lied and deflected when asked about President Donald Trump’s unpopular Iran war . When asked ...

β€œThis was a feeling the president had based on facts,” she said. β€œFacts provided to him by his top negotiators who had been engaged with the Iranian regime in a good faith effort.”

Ah, yes, "a feeling" is a totally appropriate reason to start a war.

Media seem to avoid hard questioning because Trump tries to humiliate them. I wish there were veteran reporters who pin him to the wall and get something different than rhetoric.

I'm still chuckling at this.

There's kind. And then there's kinda condemnation.
We don't get much of that in Canada.
