Scumbag converts too. Pity we don’t execute traitors.
The US is in the middle of an electric car revolution. This week, Tesla announced a record surge in sales in the second quarter of the year – delivering 446,140 cars worldwide in the three months leading up to June, outdoing its own prediction of 445,000.
Business has been bolstered in the US by federal tax credits for electric vehicles that have made them more accessible than ever for Americans.
Electric cars are much more expensive to buy, but usually cheaper to run – as maintenance and fuel costs can fall substantially with an eco car.
In a small room near the Alps in northern Italy, containers filled with millions of crickets are stacked on top of each other.
Jumping and chirping loudly – these crickets are about to become food.
The process is simple: they are frozen, boiled, dried, and then pulverised.
Here at the Italian Cricket Farm, the biggest insect farm in the country, about one million crickets are turned into food ingredients every day.
The popular conservative social media account Libs of TikTok has already experienced censorship on tech giant Meta’s new text-based app Threads, according to a screenshot shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Libs of TikTok , which is run by Chaya Raichik, posted that “[n]on-binary isn’t real” on Threads Friday morning, and the newly launched app removed it the same day due to its “hate speech” guidelines, a screenshot shared with the DCNF and posted to Twitter shows. Raichik told the DCNF that the removal was unsurprising because of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s history of conservative censorship on Facebook and Instagram.
As most people expected Zuckerberg’s “Threads” is just a shittier version of shitty in its own right Twitter.
‘A huge shame’: Asylum seekers sleeping on the streets of Toronto as city, feds argue over who should foot the bill
Advocates say it’s “a huge shame” that asylum seekers are being stranded on the streets of Toronto as the city and federal government argue over who should foot the bill to shelter them, and are calling on all levels of government to do more to address the issue.
In recent days, a few dozen people have been seen sleeping in an encampment on the sidewalk outside a referral centre for housing assistance and emergency shelter in downtown Toronto.
We all know who foots the bill – tax payers.
Chow and Trudeau are as careless of lives as they are of your money.
The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office leads the department’s efforts in investigating and understanding what it calls unidentified aerial phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs.
The office, which is within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, was formed last July due to a provision within the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act that expanded the scope of the previous iteration of the office, the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group.

Roswell UFO festival celebrates 27 years of extraterrestrial activities
The annual Roswell UFO Festival has long been a popular destination for extraterrestrial enthusiasts, featuring live music, parades, and an array of guest speakers.
Taking place last weekend, the three-day festival was first put on in 1996, paying homage to the Roswell incident, one of the nation’s most famous UFO sightings, which occurred one New Mexico summer in 1947.
One day I hope to attend.
It was just four weeks ago today, I bled until I went unconscious. I’ll spare you (and myself) a repetition of the disgusting details; suffice it to say that the physician who was operating the “guided” biopsy machine on that fateful Friday afternoon got a little carried away. He poked a few too many holes in my prostate and, in his enthusiasm, jubilantly nicked an artery in the process. It was apparently just a nick at first so I had what was described as “not an unusual amount” of bleeding at first. Maybe the artery had been weakened but not entirely broken open just then; so they put me up on my feet and walked me out to my waiting angel of a wife and told her to take me home and put me to bed for the weekend with a warning to not lift anything or pretty much do anything at all.

OTTAWA — The Conservatives said all parties agreed Friday on the scope for a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada.
The agreement appeared to break the impasse between the governing Liberals and the Conservatives about how to proceed with negotiations to establish a probe into efforts of foreign governments to interfere in Canada’s elections and governance.
Just over half of Canadians believe the federal Liberals and Conservatives need new leaders heading into the next federal election, according to a new Nanos Research poll.
The poll, conducted for The Globe and Mail, found 53 per cent of respondents were in favour of Justin Trudeau being replaced as Liberal Leader, while 51 per cent say Pierre Poilievre should not lead the Conservatives into the next election.
The real story is only 42% of committed Liberal voters support Junior while 71% of committed Conservatives support Poilievre. Singh has the support of 63% of committed communists.
Canada is reiterating its stance against the use of cluster munitions following the Biden administration’s decision to send the controversial weapon to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion.
In a statement sent to CTV News, the Government of Canada said its longstanding position on the weapon is clear in that Canada is fully against its use in accordance with Canada’s ban against landmines.
“Building on the trailblazing work of Lloyd Axworthy on the Ottawa Treaty to ban landmines, Canada championed the adoption of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which is now ratified by more than 100 countries,” the statement said.
Cluster bombs: Biden defends decision to send Ukraine controversial weapons
US President Joe Biden has defended his “very difficult decision” to give Ukraine cluster bombs, which have a record of killing civilians.
The president said it had taken him “a while to be convinced to do it”, but he had acted because “the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition”.
Ukraine’s leader hailed the “timely” move.
But the UK’s PM suggested the country “discourages” the use of cluster bombs, while Spain criticised the decision.
With little fanfare, the House of Commons passed legislation last month to formally establish a federal child-care program.
The bill’s passage was never really in doubt. Between Liberal and NDP MPs, the government had more than enough votes. But it’s not every day the House agrees to create a major new social program (the bill still needs to pass the Senate).
Almost as notable as the bill’s passage is the fact that the vote was unanimous — 315 to 0.

I imagine Chow will have him guarded by social workers while she preps his Key to the City ceremony. I see him as a near perfect choice to be Chowtown’s next Diversity Chief.
An Indigenous tribe descended from the Native American nation that originally controlled the land in Vermont the Ben & Jerry’s headquarters is located on would be interested in taking it back, its chief has said, after the company publicly called for “stolen” lands to be returned.

Governments normally like to trumpet the progress of their legislation, yet the latest ministerial update on the extension of the medical assistance in dying (MAID) law, to cover people with mental disorders, was delivered with all the amplification of a tin whistle.
More than a third of foods labelled vegan contained animal products, research has found, prompting experts to warn shoppers with severe allergies they face potentially “tragic consequences”.
Forensic scientists found traces of egg or milk in an array of goods that were labelled as vegan or plant-based, with trading standards bosses calling for legal protection to stop consumers being “exploited by unethical food businesses”.
