Zuckerberg, a real weenie with a parlous Julius Caesar haircut, is Jack Sprat who’d eat no fat while Musk will eat no lean. It was never going to be pretty; instead it will break the concept of humans being anything but repellent. There are many rich men causing havoc, including Peter Thiel, Erik Prince, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Everyone wants to bench-press now. As economist Paul Krugman writes, “the craziest faction in U.S. politics right now isn’t red-hatted blue-collar guys in diners, it’s technology billionaires living in huge mansions and flying around on private jets.”I won’t overanalyze boy baby billionaires. These are their drugs, not so different from the ones that leave poor Americans writhing and then inert on the streets.

“Snowfall” star Damson Idris became the victim of a burglary earlier this month, which took place at his home in Los Angeles.

Surprisingly, the suspects caused more damage breaking into the house and stealing the safe than the value of the stolen goods. Authorities will be reviewing the security camera footage from Damson Idris’ residence and neighboring homes in hopes of identifying the perpetrators.

Major League Baseball started experimenting with robots calling balls and strikes in the independent Atlantic League in 2019 and used the computer at Low-A in 2021. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez, File)The education of robot umpires has been complicated by an open secret in baseball for the past 150 years: The strike zone called on the field doesn’t match the one mapped out in the rule book. Before the Automated Ball-Strike System is ready for the major leagues, there has to be agreement on what a strike is. “A pitcher has big curveballs that cross the zone and end up a ball, but the zone has it as a strike. And critically to umpires’ reputations, he says television graphics overlaying the strike zone frequently mislead fans.

The answer was to offer child care and eliminate interprovincial trade barriers. While a national child-care plan has since been created, internal trade barriers remain. While Canada has two internal trade agreements — the Canadian Free Trade Agreement and the New West Partnership Trade Agreement — they are, at best, partial solutions. The cost to Canadians of interprovincial trade barriers is among the most openly and widely acknowledged facts — one generally accepted among political leaders of every party stripe. Eliminating barriers to interprovincial trade, investment and labour mobility is one of them, and it is the best thing Canadians can do to boost national economic growth.

Consider this account, gathered by Human Rights Watch, of a May 2022 strike involving cluster munitions in the Ukrainian town of Hlynske, 200 kilometres east of Kyiv. More often, victims of cluster munitions live a limited and greatly reduced life. This wouldn’t be the first instance of Ukrainian forces using cluster munitions on the battlefield. In contrast, between 30 and 40 per cent of Russian cluster munitions land without immediately exploding. “We do not support the use of cluster munitions and are committed to putting an end to the effects cluster munitions have on civilians — particularly children,” the statement read.
