Nolte: HBO‘s ‘The Last of Us’ Creator Attacks Fans as Homophobes

Fans of HBO’s The Last of Us who didn’t like a gay-themed episode are homophobes, per the show’s co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin.

One episode of the latest zombie apocalypse TV show focused on a couple of middle-aged gay guys, survivalists who meet and fall deeply in love during the apocalypse. This “romantic” episode has nothing to do with the main story that follows stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. It’s one of those side-street episodes “Prestige TV” shows sometimes takes to show how prestigious they are.

Why do they insist on ruining original stories?

How US Politicians Empower Anti-American Jihadists and Other Aggressors

American politicians who are calling for decreasing US aid to Israel are apparently unaware of the dangers and challenges Israel has been facing since its establishment in 1948. In recent years, Israel has been facing a new wave of terrorism, funded and orchestrated by Iran’s mullahs and their Palestinian proxies, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Israel’s enemies are especially disturbed by the strong bond between Israel and the US. They do not want to see the US providing any financial and military aid to Israel because that hinders their plan to murder Jews and annihilate Israel.

ChiCom infiltrators posing as students frustrated by lengthy security checks as school year nears

Some Chinese international students say their study permits have been tied up in security screenings, leaving them in the lurch for months after being admitted to Canadian universities.

Yunze Lu, a master’s student in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Ottawa, has already completed a year of coursework online and successfully applied to the school’s co-op program.

“I have a very simple and clear background. It’s OK to be checked, but I don’t think it needs to be checked for so long,” he said.

Techno-Hell: U.S. Government Now Using AI to Suss Out ‘Sentiment and Emotion’ in Social Media Posts

When the government sets about to marry its limitless appetite for social control with the seemingly limitless computing power of artificial intelligence, the end result is destined to be Orwell’s “thoughtcrime” – a concept that was once exclusively in the domain of speculative fiction — becoming reality. Life imitates art, it seems.

Biden is ‘old,’ Trump is ‘corrupt’: AP-NORC poll has ominous signs for both in possible 2024 rematch

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is “old” and “confused,” and former President Donald Trump is “corrupt” and “dishonest.” Those are among the top terms Americans use when they’re asked to describe the Democrat in the White House and the Republican best positioned to face him in next year’s election.

Biden is too old and far too corrupt. Next to him Trump is an angel.

Climate Stupidity Canadian Style

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doubles down on carbon taxes, hammering Canadian farms and raising prices for everyone.

Competition is high between nations to see who can implement the silliest climate policies. President Biden is far in the lead, but other nations want to catch up.

Please consider Destroying Canada’s Farms, for What?

Daleks to be granted “Deputy Special Interlocuter” status in fight against Residential School Fake Graves Denialism

Special interlocutor hopeful new Justice Minister will act to address residential school denialism

Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor on missing children, unmarked graves and burial sites associated with residential schools, says she has met with Canada’s new Justice Minister and hopes he will move to address “denialism.”

Ms. Murray, who was given a two-year mandate last year to work closely with Indigenous communities, released an interim report in June that detailed how “denialists” are attacking the communities that announce possible unmarked graves. “This violence is prolific,” the report said. “And takes place via e-mail, telephone, social media, op-eds and, at times, through in-person confrontations.”

The report included a call that “urgent consideration” be given to create legal mechanisms to deal with the problem, including “the implementation of both civil and criminal sanctions.”

Trudeau’s Liberals at third among younger voters must sting

Third, that’s where Justin Trudeau’s Liberals rank among voters born after 1979. Those are the shock numbers from the latest poll by Abacus Data that doesn’t offer any good news for Trudeau.

The poll numbers show a favourable trend, but I won’t discount the possibility of yet another LPC minority with Sell-Out Singh.

I bet lots of younger voters will believe Junior and Singh will buy them a new home.

When it comes to Toronto’s supervised injection sites, who’s in charge? Here’s what you need to know

A Toronto supervised consumption site has been in the spotlight after an employee was charged in connection with a fatal daytime shooting near the centre in July, spurring a provincial government review of all sites in the province.

But when it comes to who’s responsible for the sites, the answer is complex.

The federal, provincial and municipal governments are all part of a system of approvals, funding and oversight that allow the sites to operate. According to Toronto Public Health, there are 10 sites in the city and six of them — including the South Riverdale Community Health Centre (SRCHC) — are provincially funded consumption treatment services. Among the sites that are not provincially designated consumption treatment service locations, one is not open to the public, one is Toronto Public Health’s and another relies on donations.
