Trump jealous of Trudeau because he's 'younger and way better looking': Scaramucci

"Scaramucci also said that in contrast to Trump’s last term .... it’s likely the people who sign on to work in the White House during a possible second Trump presidency are limited to “Yosemite Sam,” “Bugs Bunny,” or “Mickey Mouse.”

Ok those of you who defend AI please tell me how this will help humanity!!

Big Brother is here!! I have been telling people don't post selfies!!

"AI detects individual’s political orientation accurately, a threat?

Study showed new threat in the digital age–AI’s ability to predict political orientation from even naturalistic images of individuals."

Leader of the Canadian"Conservatives", Pierre Poilievre tries to bring down the Canadian government with a vote of non-confidence and is soundly defeated,

Yeas: 116 vs Nays 204

He hides in humiliation.
He didn't have the courage to show up for the vote because he knew it would be defeated.
How will he spin this defeat to his supporters, the Maple
MAGAs.?

Thanks to @gemelliz for reporting the results of the vote.

Per our convo re: followers

That is why my account is locked. when I receive a follow request it reminds me to investigate their posts and replies before I accept it and follow back. It limits the annoying "shitposters", trolls and bots and it (hopefully) gives my followers a measure of protection against the same.
