Postmedia has a bunch of “* Star” papers and the Toronto Sun but notably not the Toronto Star.

I was pretty sure it was the Toronto Star that was Postmedia… I may be remembering incorrectly. I’m gonna delete my comment until I can verify.

Hey now why are we catching strays? Dude’s getting dog piled with downvotes on a Canadian instances community. They’re probably a Euro, they love to complain about US news cycles.

I’m actually having a similar problem. I’ve had my pothos for maybe 6 years now, and I reported them for the first time in a long while a month ago… they’re not very happy now, but I’m hoping they’re just adjusting.

I have no advice but I hope yours recover!

Except those who dissented publicly, right? Pretty sure Sotomayor was pretty publicly pissed off at the rest of the court.

Plenty of time for a real progressive to do their work, right?

Yeah we as a society need to start treating primaries with respect and actually showing up to vote for those.

As soon as a progressive wins a seat, if they don’t fix 100% of problems within 30 seconds, they’re part of The Establishment and are dead to the movement.

Let’s see if the Democrstic Party holds to their unofficial stance that this race is effectively a referendum on the party’s future.

Probably. But who knows. And the fact that the only cope is “it’s just a negotiating tactic” like MAGA after prices increase from tariffs is giving me a headache. What a time to be alive.

Here’s another

A Nato official confirmed the message’s authenticity.

I can only provide some sample articles that reference a confirmation from Rutte’s office. I don’t think they put out a statement or a release, I think reporters called the office and got confirmation that way. Not sure you’ll be able to find a public statement.

Here’s a French one that theoretically isn’t bound to gobble Trumps knob.

“Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary and something no one else dared to do. It makes us safer,” Rutte wrote in a message shared by Trump on Truth Social – and confirmed by the NATO chief’s office.

I regret to inform you Rutte’s office has confirmed officially. I took massive psychic damage when I discovered this was a real post of a real text not a real post of a fake text.

I would love and hate to see proof that Mark Rutte really texted this to Trump.

The “Truth” post is 100% real, inarguably, but I haven’t seen anyone reporting the picture is of a real message from Rutte to Trump.

E: never mind that is… apparently Rutte’s office has confirmed the message is really from Rutte???

???

I need to go lie down.

And signs their essay texts with their name. Very common as we all know.

Real tweet, fake text… no way any NATO leader would say “Europe is going to pay BIG” it’s just too Trump. Same with the incessant comma splices.

But big congrats to Trump for ruining the information space so completely that I genuinely cannot tell what’s real anymore.

Of course it is, LLMs are inherently regurgitation machines - train on biased data, make biased predictions.

International “law” is a misnomer, as you’ve noticed… it’s only enforceable at the end of a pointy stick, physical or economic. “Conventions” are a more appropriate phrase. This is indeed disappointing.

Yeah probably, he has the foresight of an infant. Doesn’t mean NATO countries will respect an attempted invocation of Article 5.

Trump can act as he wants, that doesn’t magically make other nations forget what NATO agreements actually say.

NATO was never involved in any of the other US-lead wars. Western countries may form a coalition for a war but that’s independent of and unrelated to NATO and purely at their own discretion, not out of any obligation. Feel free to protest your national government if they choose to get involved, but don’t act like they have no agency and Trump forced them to do anything.
