Very stable genius.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled

Florida paid a portable toilet company called Doodie Calls more than $92 million over six months to haul wastewater out of the Everglades. The state projected it would pay Doodie Calls $480 million over two years. For comparison, building a sewage treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million. That is one vendor. At one facility. Built in eight days on an Everglades airstrip using hurricane disaster funds because Ron DeSantis declared immigration a state of emergency in 2023 to access a $5 billion fund set aside for floods and hurricanes. The facility costs between $1.2 million and $3 million per day to operate. A conservative estimate puts the annual per-capita cost at $500,000 per detainee. Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison. The math on Alligator Alcatraz is not tougher than a prison. It is more than sixteen times more expensive. Three quarters of the men held there have never been convicted of a crime. They are awaiting civil immigration proceedings. They are being held in kennels - cages with steel mesh sides, 16 bunks, three toilets, brightly lit 24 hours a day. Amnesty International documented what it called deliberate neglect designed to dehumanize, including credible allegations of men held in stress positions in direct sunlight without food or water for hours at a time. Governor Braun opened the Speedway Slammer at an Indiana prison. The Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. The Louisiana Lockup at Angola. The naming contest is ongoing. The cruelty is the point. The cost is someone else's problem. Florida's emergency fund has dwindled to $200 million. The facility cannot run to the end of the year. The men in the cages are still there.
The immigrant-detention facility Alligator Alcatraz, which may soon be shut down, has been a cruel and costly publicity stunt, Eric Schlosser argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/06/…
A massive protest just rocked Hamilton City Hall over a proposed AI data centre. And even though the city blocked the land severance application, the fight isn’t over. chch.com/chch-news/ai-d…

Clearest image ever taken of Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. In 2017, a spacecraft named Cassini was running out of fuel near Saturn. It had found something here it couldn't risk contaminating — an ocean, under this ice, that might hold the ingredients for life. So mission control made a decision. They steered Cassini towards Saturn instead. We destroyed our own machine to protect a sea we've never touched.
Don't hate your local foxes. When foxes decline, Lyme rates climb. A 2012 paper in PNAS tracked Lyme rates against fox populations across the Northeast and Midwest. Wisconsin saw an 80% decline in foxes from 1984 to 2009 and a 300% rise in Lyme. Martha's Vineyard, which has almost no foxes, has Lyme rates five times higher than nearby Woods Hole, which has plenty of them. If you want to help the foxes in your area: 1. Stop using rodenticide immediately. When foxes eat a rodent that's actively poisoned, the fox can die too. Rodenticide poisoning also kills owls and hawks. 2. Don't shoot or trap them. Kinda goes without saying. 3. Secure your trash, your chicken coops, and keep cats inside to avoid conflict. Next time you see a fox, tell it thank you.

@iammeggan Thank you for sharing your truths.
2/4) Mental health isn’t a battle you win once and move on from. For many of us, it’s something we learn to live with, manage, and face one day at a time. Today, I’m 3 weeks free from self-harm. That might not sound like much to some people, but for me it’s a milestone .

@kittypants I'd also like the Eyes on the Street program expanded so all of city staff drivers have training in the goals of the ANCHOR program and how to engage them. Yes, I do want that program to be so in demand that we shift police dollars to the program in budget 27 /28.
@kittypants Hmm. I ran into two folks struggling with mental health / poverty issues in that area today. I'd really like the ANCHOR program to be extended to cover 500 m vicinity of each stage 1 LRT station even if the station is not in a ward the program covers. 1/2
Today I saw a man by Gloucester Centre pee in a McDonald’s Cup then throw it and then shook a rain soaked tree to have a shower.
This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.
NEW: The City of Toronto says only a fraction of the 2026 FIFA World Cup tickets it bought as an investment remain unsold, with the soccer gamble looking set to pay off a week before the games begin. #ToPoli globalnews.ca/news/11891194/…
